It has an asset-light business model, soli","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is a thoroughbred growth stock. It has an asset-light business model, solid government contracts, and a staggering amount of cash.</p><p>In recently reported earnings,it hit the ball out of the park once again. Both revenue and earnings figures beat analyst estimates. And guidance was also upbeat. Then why has PLTR stock lost a third of its value in a recent sell-off?</p><p>Well, here is where it gets interesting.</p><p>Investors are demanding when it comes to Palantir. They saw the potential, and they liked it. After all, that is what drove them in droves to the stock when it made its colossal debut last year. Much like every other tech IPOthese days, investors made money hand over fist.</p><p>But there are a few things peeving stockholders. First, they want the commercial business to start producing the goods. Palantir has an excellent record when it comes to government contracts. But the commercial business is not as successful. Investors want diversification in the revenue mix. Hence, it is a major factor affecting investor sentiment.</p><p>Potential regulatory activity is the other issue hanging over PLTR stock like a dark cloud. Due to the close association of Palantir and the defense establishment,certain members of Congress have taken issue with the big data company. In particular, the company’s contracts with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have come under fire.</p><p>However, Palantir is a solid enterprise that is consistently expanding. For example, Palantir has developed a new service that will support compliance regulations for cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are a hot commodity with an exciting future ahead. With cryptocurrencies being so popular and institutional adoption legitimizing this new industry, it is a potential game changer. The rest of its business is also growing nicely.</p><p>Palantir’s Expanding Commercial Business</p><p>Palantir offers multiple products to companies and governments for improving information gathering, operational capabilities. Its various platforms have wide applications across industries. The U.S military and other government agencies use Palantir’s investigative analysis capabilities to solve crime in America, abroad, or anywhere where users can apply its data-driven software.</p><p>The use of AI in government is widespread. With their Gotham platform, large organizations like Palantir have made it possible for them to integrate massive amounts of data into one operating system, which these powerful programs can then analyze – it allows analysts to perform due diligence on a massive amount of data at lightning speed.</p><p>Palantir’sFoundry option is a simple data pipeline that brings together back-end and front-end information so you can access it with ease. This breaks down barriers to understanding. It is especially helpful for those who need help managing or analyzing large sets on their own, whether they’re in corporate America looking at customer relationships across departments or an intelligence agency trying to make sense of unforeseen threats before they happen.</p><p>Palantir is expanding its Foundry offering in a big way.

It has an asset-light business model, solid government contracts, and a staggering amount of cash.In recently reported earnings,it hit the ball out of the park once again. Both revenue and earnings figures beat analyst estimates. And guidance was also upbeat. Then why has PLTR stock lost a third of its value in a recent sell-off?Well, here is where it gets interesting.Investors are demanding when it comes to Palantir. They saw the potential, and they liked it. After all, that is what drove them in droves to the stock when it made its colossal debut last year. Much like every other tech IPOthese days, investors made money hand over fist.But there are a few things peeving stockholders. First, they want the commercial business to start producing the goods. Palantir has an excellent record when it comes to government contracts. But the commercial business is not as successful. Investors want diversification in the revenue mix. Hence, it is a major factor affecting investor sentiment.Potential regulatory activity is the other issue hanging over PLTR stock like a dark cloud. Due to the close association of Palantir and the defense establishment,certain members of Congress have taken issue with the big data company. In particular, the company’s contracts with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have come under fire.However, Palantir is a solid enterprise that is consistently expanding. For example, Palantir has developed a new service that will support compliance regulations for cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are a hot commodity with an exciting future ahead. With cryptocurrencies being so popular and institutional adoption legitimizing this new industry, it is a potential game changer. The rest of its business is also growing nicely.Palantir’s Expanding Commercial BusinessPalantir offers multiple products to companies and governments for improving information gathering, operational capabilities. Its various platforms have wide applications across industries. The U.S military and other government agencies use Palantir’s investigative analysis capabilities to solve crime in America, abroad, or anywhere where users can apply its data-driven software.The use of AI in government is widespread. With their Gotham platform, large organizations like Palantir have made it possible for them to integrate massive amounts of data into one operating system, which these powerful programs can then analyze – it allows analysts to perform due diligence on a massive amount of data at lightning speed.Palantir’sFoundry option is a simple data pipeline that brings together back-end and front-end information so you can access it with ease. This breaks down barriers to understanding. It is especially helpful for those who need help managing or analyzing large sets on their own, whether they’re in corporate America looking at customer relationships across departments or an intelligence agency trying to make sense of unforeseen threats before they happen.Palantir is expanding its Foundry offering in a big way. The company rolled out “Foundry for Builders,” an end-to-end analytics platform targeting startup companies. Palantir has added 10 more companies to its Foundry for Builders SaaS platform in October of this year – startups from all over are now using it as their go-to growth accelerator.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":522,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":696704396,"gmtCreate":1640761048662,"gmtModify":1640761049676,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's either an Albatross or a Crow","listText":"It's either an Albatross or a Crow","text":"It's either an Albatross or a Crow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/696704396","repostId":"2194435036","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2194435036","pubTimestamp":1640759231,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2194435036?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-29 14:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s March to $3 Trillion Carries Virus-Risk Warning for S&P","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2194435036","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc., whose shares serve as a real-time proxy for risk sentiment toward the pan","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc., whose shares serve as a real-time proxy for risk sentiment toward the pandemic, is near a $3 trillion market capitalization.

Microsoft's Azure ranked second with a 21% share, while all the other players held single-digit shares.</p>\n<p>That dominance makes Amazon and Microsoft two of the top plays on the global cloud computing market, which Grand View Research estimates will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1% from 2021 and 2028. But which tech giant is the better cloud play, as well as the stronger all-around investment?</p>\n<h2>The differences between Microsoft and Amazon</h2>\n<p>Microsoft and Amazon started out in very different places. Microsoft had traditionally generated most of its revenue from on-premise software before Satya Nadella, who took over as the company's third CEO in 2014, adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" mantra and aggressively expanded Azure, Office 365, Dynamics, and its other cloud-based services.</p>\n<p>Under Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercialized revenue rose from just 14% of its revenue in fiscal 2016 to 41% in fiscal 2021. Microsoft leveraged the strength of its on-premise software business to tether more businesses -- particularly retailers that competed against Amazon and didn't want to support AWS -- to its cloud services.</p>\n<p>Amazon, which still generates most of its revenue from its online marketplaces, launched AWS in 2002. However, it only started breaking out AWS' revenue and operating profits in 2015. That's when investors realized that AWS generated much higher-margin revenue than its retail business.</p>\n<p>Last year, AWS generated just 12% of Amazon's revenue but raked in 59% of its operating profits. AWS' higher-margin business enables Amazon to expand its retail segment and Prime ecosystem with lower-margin strategies, which arguably makes it the bedrock of its entire business.</p>\n<p>That's why Jeff Bezos, who vacated the CEO position earlier this year, handed the reins to Andy Jassy, the former chief of AWS.</p>\n<h2>Which tech giant is growing faster?</h2>\n<p>The pandemic generated headwinds for Microsoft while stirring up some tailwinds for Amazon. For Microsoft, the pandemic throttled the growth of its enterprise-facing software businesses as large companies shut down. However, it partly offset that slowdown with the expansion of its cloud, Surface, and Xbox gaming businesses as more people worked remotely and stayed at home.</p>\n<p>But for Amazon, the pandemic boosted its online sales while generating strong demand for its cloud-based services. Its expenses surged as it spent billions of dollars on COVID-19 safety measures, but its soaring revenue easily offset that temporary pressure on its operating margins.</p>\n<p>Microsoft should generate more stable growth in a post-pandemic market than Amazon because its growth wasn't pulled forward too much. However, Amazon will likely face much tougher year-over-year comparisons:</p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"612\">\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <th width=\"199\"><p>Revenue Growth (YOY)</p></th>\n   <th width=\"115\"><p>Previous FY</p></th>\n   <th width=\"120\"><p>Current FY</p></th>\n   <th width=\"120\"><p>Next FY</p></th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <td width=\"199\"><p><b>Amazon</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"115\"><p>38%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>22%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>18%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <td width=\"199\"><p><b>Microsoft</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"115\"><p>18%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>17%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>14%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo Finance, Dec. 22. YOY = Year-over-year. FY = Fiscal year.</p>\n<p>In terms of profits, Microsoft should also experience a softer landing than Amazon:</p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"612\">\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <th width=\"199\"><p>EPS Growth (YOY)</p></th>\n   <th width=\"115\"><p>Previous FY</p></th>\n   <th width=\"120\"><p>Current FY</p></th>\n   <th width=\"120\"><p>Next FY</p></th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <td width=\"199\"><p><b>Amazon</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"115\"><p>82%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>(2%)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>26%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <td width=\"199\"><p><b>Microsoft</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"115\"><p>38%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>14%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>14%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo Finance, Dec. 22.</p>\n<p>That's because Amazon is ramping up its investments again (especially in digital media) as its revenue growth decelerates. Meanwhile, Microsoft already deployed its biggest \"mobile first, cloud first\" investments in previous years -- and it won't experience a significant jump in expenses next year.</p>\n<h2>What do the valuations say?</h2>\n<p>Neither stock can be considered cheap relative to its near-term growth.

Microsoft's Azure ranked second with a 21% share, while all the other players held single-digit shares.\nThat dominance makes Amazon and Microsoft two of the top plays on the global cloud computing market, which Grand View Research estimates will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1% from 2021 and 2028. But which tech giant is the better cloud play, as well as the stronger all-around investment?\nThe differences between Microsoft and Amazon\nMicrosoft and Amazon started out in very different places. Microsoft had traditionally generated most of its revenue from on-premise software before Satya Nadella, who took over as the company's third CEO in 2014, adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" mantra and aggressively expanded Azure, Office 365, Dynamics, and its other cloud-based services.\nUnder Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercialized revenue rose from just 14% of its revenue in fiscal 2016 to 41% in fiscal 2021. Microsoft leveraged the strength of its on-premise software business to tether more businesses -- particularly retailers that competed against Amazon and didn't want to support AWS -- to its cloud services.\nAmazon, which still generates most of its revenue from its online marketplaces, launched AWS in 2002. However, it only started breaking out AWS' revenue and operating profits in 2015. That's when investors realized that AWS generated much higher-margin revenue than its retail business.\nLast year, AWS generated just 12% of Amazon's revenue but raked in 59% of its operating profits. AWS' higher-margin business enables Amazon to expand its retail segment and Prime ecosystem with lower-margin strategies, which arguably makes it the bedrock of its entire business.\nThat's why Jeff Bezos, who vacated the CEO position earlier this year, handed the reins to Andy Jassy, the former chief of AWS.\nWhich tech giant is growing faster?\nThe pandemic generated headwinds for Microsoft while stirring up some tailwinds for Amazon. For Microsoft, the pandemic throttled the growth of its enterprise-facing software businesses as large companies shut down. However, it partly offset that slowdown with the expansion of its cloud, Surface, and Xbox gaming businesses as more people worked remotely and stayed at home.\nBut for Amazon, the pandemic boosted its online sales while generating strong demand for its cloud-based services. Its expenses surged as it spent billions of dollars on COVID-19 safety measures, but its soaring revenue easily offset that temporary pressure on its operating margins.\nMicrosoft should generate more stable growth in a post-pandemic market than Amazon because its growth wasn't pulled forward too much. However, Amazon will likely face much tougher year-over-year comparisons:\n\n\n\n\nRevenue Growth (YOY)\nPrevious FY\nCurrent FY\nNext FY\n\n\nAmazon\n38%\n22%\n18%\n\n\nMicrosoft\n18%\n17%\n14%\n\n\n\nSource: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo Finance, Dec. 22. YOY = Year-over-year. FY = Fiscal year.\nIn terms of profits, Microsoft should also experience a softer landing than Amazon:\n\n\n\n\nEPS Growth (YOY)\nPrevious FY\nCurrent FY\nNext FY\n\n\nAmazon\n82%\n(2%)\n26%\n\n\nMicrosoft\n38%\n14%\n14%\n\n\n\nSource: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo Finance, Dec. 22.\nThat's because Amazon is ramping up its investments again (especially in digital media) as its revenue growth decelerates. Meanwhile, Microsoft already deployed its biggest \"mobile first, cloud first\" investments in previous years -- and it won't experience a significant jump in expenses next year.\nWhat do the valuations say?\nNeither stock can be considered cheap relative to its near-term growth. Amazon trades at 54 times forward earnings, while Microsoft has a lower forward price-to-earnings ratio of 37.\nHowever, the bulls will argue that both companies deserve to trade at premium valuations because they're well-insulated from inflation. Amazon's e-commerce business could attract bargain hunters as retail prices rise, and both companies' cloud platforms should easily retain their pricing power as the cloud market expands.\nThe winner: Microsoft\nMicrosoft is arguably a better cloud stock than Amazon, for three simple reasons: Azure is growing significantly faster than AWS, it's an attractive option for Amazon's rivals, and its cloud services are tightly tethered to Windows, Office, Dynamics, and its other software platforms.\nMicrosoft is also a better all-around investment because it's better diversified, it faces easier post-pandemic comparisons, and its stock is cheaper.

The home-exercise technology company also had its sails trimmed on Thursday when analysts at Citi cut their price target on Peloton's (PTON) stock to $38 a share on expectations of higher expenses and falling demand for Peloton (PTON) products next year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":765,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698223498,"gmtCreate":1640412940650,"gmtModify":1640412941679,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's a matter of time&nbsp;","listText":"It's a matter of time&nbsp;","text":"It's a matter of time","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698223498","repostId":"693467733","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":693467733,"gmtCreate":1640065720060,"gmtModify":1640065720271,"author":{"id":"3582010039361860","authorId":"3582010039361860","name":"ngjr90","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2904905ef5b1f52f808bd60775612fea","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ES3.SI\">$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$</a>Will it breakeven?","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ES3.SI\">$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$</a>Will it breakeven?","text":"$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$Will it breakeven?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84dd4f4e6d3b0c966cd4f91c586b353b","width":"1125","height":"1949"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693467733","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698174758,"gmtCreate":1640328856622,"gmtModify":1640329331131,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Final hurrah before bringing for Christmas weekend&nbsp;","listText":"Final hurrah before bringing for Christmas weekend&nbsp;","text":"Final hurrah before bringing for Christmas weekend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698174758","repostId":"2193078140","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2193078140","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":1640299360,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2193078140?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-24 06:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 hits record close as Omicron fears ebb","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2193078140","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Major indexes climb for 3rd straight session\n* Merck's at-home COVID-19 pill gets U.S. approval\n* ","content":"<p>* Major indexes climb for 3rd straight session</p>\n<p>* Merck's at-home COVID-19 pill gets U.S. approval</p>\n<p>* Weekly jobless claims unchanged at 205,000</p>\n<p>* Consumer spending increases 0.6% in November</p>\n<p>* Indexes up: Dow 0.55%, S&amp;P 0.62%, Nasdaq 0.85%</p>\n<p>Dec 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes posted solid gains for a third straight session on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 marking a record-high close, as encouraging developments gave investors more ease about the economic impact of the Omicron coronavirus variant.</p>\n<p>Stocks ended the holiday-shortened week on a positive note, lifting sentiment heading into Christmas.

For almost as long, it’s known that the devices have had trouble holding customers’ attention even into January. According to internal data, there have been years when 15% to 25% of new Alexa users were no longer active in their second week with the device.</p>\n<p>Concern about user retention and engagement comes up repeatedly in internal planning documents that<i>Bloomberg Businessweek</i>viewed. The documents, which covered 2018 to 2021, detail Amazon’s continued ambitions for Alexa, including plans to add more cameras and sensors that would allow devices to recognize different voices or determine which rooms users are in during each interaction. They also reveal the roadblocks the company sees to realizing these goals. Last year, Amazon’s internal analysis of the smart speaker market determined it had “passed its growth phase” and estimated it would expand only 1.2% annually for the next several years.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0752df2368b42037232e378582c5e031\" tg-width=\"1245\" tg-height=\"593\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The market for Alexa devices extends beyond just smart speakers, and Amazon disputed many of the metrics cited in the documents, saying they were either outdated or inaccurate. In an emailed statement, Amazon spokesperson Kinley Pearsall said the company was as optimistic about Alexa as it had ever been.<i>“</i>The assertion that Alexa growth is slowing&nbsp;is not accurate,” she wrote.&nbsp;“The fact is that Alexa continues to grow—we see increases in customer usage, and Alexa is used in more households around the world than ever before.”</p>\n<p>Amazon views one of the main barriers as concerns about privacy, sparked by revelations that&nbsp;Amazon workers review snippets of audio&nbsp;to help improve its software along with some high-profile blunders, such as an incident in which a person’s device&nbsp;sent recordings of conversations to a contact&nbsp;after misinterpreting a series of phrases as commands. The other hurdle is an even more basic challenge: People simply don’t find Alexa that useful.</p>\n<p>Amazon’s first Alexa device, the cylindrical Echo speaker, was a&nbsp;runaway success.Facebook,Apple,Google, and other companies released their own versions, and analysts made enthusiastic projections about voice control prompting a shift in computing akin to the migration from desktop to mobile devices.</p>\n<p>Amazon’s goal with Alexa was to pull users into a deeper relationship with the company’s services, allowing it to profit in various ways. Sales have been significant: Last year Amazon determined that 25% of U.S. households have at least one Alexa device; among Amazon Prime households, it’s 27%.

For almost as long, it’s known that the devices have had trouble holding customers’ attention even into January. According to internal data, there have been years when 15% to 25% of new Alexa users were no longer active in their second week with the device.\nConcern about user retention and engagement comes up repeatedly in internal planning documents thatBloomberg Businessweekviewed. The documents, which covered 2018 to 2021, detail Amazon’s continued ambitions for Alexa, including plans to add more cameras and sensors that would allow devices to recognize different voices or determine which rooms users are in during each interaction. They also reveal the roadblocks the company sees to realizing these goals. Last year, Amazon’s internal analysis of the smart speaker market determined it had “passed its growth phase” and estimated it would expand only 1.2% annually for the next several years.\n\nThe market for Alexa devices extends beyond just smart speakers, and Amazon disputed many of the metrics cited in the documents, saying they were either outdated or inaccurate. In an emailed statement, Amazon spokesperson Kinley Pearsall said the company was as optimistic about Alexa as it had ever been.“The assertion that Alexa growth is slowing is not accurate,” she wrote. “The fact is that Alexa continues to grow—we see increases in customer usage, and Alexa is used in more households around the world than ever before.”\nAmazon views one of the main barriers as concerns about privacy, sparked by revelations that Amazon workers review snippets of audio to help improve its software along with some high-profile blunders, such as an incident in which a person’s device sent recordings of conversations to a contact after misinterpreting a series of phrases as commands. The other hurdle is an even more basic challenge: People simply don’t find Alexa that useful.\nAmazon’s first Alexa device, the cylindrical Echo speaker, was a runaway success.Facebook,Apple,Google, and other companies released their own versions, and analysts made enthusiastic projections about voice control prompting a shift in computing akin to the migration from desktop to mobile devices.\nAmazon’s goal with Alexa was to pull users into a deeper relationship with the company’s services, allowing it to profit in various ways. Sales have been significant: Last year Amazon determined that 25% of U.S. households have at least one Alexa device; among Amazon Prime households, it’s 27%. But most Alexa users in many years have used voice-powered devices only to play music, or set the timer while they cook, or turn on the lights. Amazon employees noted in a planning document for 2019 that new Alexa users discover half of the features they will ever use within three hours of activating the device.\n“Did they overestimate in the short term? Sure,” says Greg Gottesman, managing director and co-founder of startup studio and investment company Pioneer Square Labs. Still, he’s bullish on Alexa and the voice technology boom it pioneered.

This means that it could be an opportune time for investors to sell shares to lock in gain - this also holds true for Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B), which is a major shareholder. Berkshire could use the proceeds to ramp up its already healthy buybacks further, which would be immensely accretive at current valuations.</p>\n<p><b>Why It Could Be Opportune To Lock In Gains In Apple</b></p>\n<p>Last week, I wrote a longer&nbsp;article on Apple&nbsp;and why I believe that shares are currently trading above fair value. The quick recap is that Apple is trading at the highest valuation in a long period of time, no matter whether we look at its earnings multiple, its EV to EBITDA ratio, or its cash flow yield. The EV/EBITDA multiple is most telling, I believe, as it accounts for changes in debt usage and in Apple's cash position over the years:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e6b5d51759ba11c78d02d04731e19a2\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At easily more than twice the historical valuation, AAPL is pretty expensive. At the same time, Apple is entering a period of&nbsp;slower growth, according to the analyst community, since the iPhone and iPad lines are not generating significant business growth any longer, while the Apple Car is likely still years away. The combination of an above-average valuation and a below-average growth rate, combined with weaker tailwinds from buybacks (which are less effective at the current high valuation), means that Apple could be poised for underperformance going forward, which is why I believe that locking in gains could make a lot of sense.</p>\n<p><b>Berkshire's Apple Investment</b></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway first started to buy into Apple in 2016. At that time, Apple was trading at a completely different valuation compared to today:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14b39fa01fe2ec9423cdac40d8fb1684\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares traded for 10-14x net profits, and at 7-9x EBITDA - not at all comparable to the 30x net earnings multiple and 24x EBITDA multiple AAPL trades at today. In other words, Buffett has, as could be expected, identified Apple as a strong investment when it was very inexpensive - following his \"Value\" approach. Right now, however, Apple is far from a value pick and instead seems pretty pricey, especially when we account for its not very convincing near-term growth outlook - forecasted EPS growth over the next couple of years ranges from just 2%-8% (linked above).</p>\n<p>Per Berkshire's most recent 10-Q filing, the company held $128 billion worth of Apple stock on September 30:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09f96108345a43e1eda784e61ff7ee2e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: BRK 10-Q</span></p>\n<p>Apple's share price on that date was $142, from which we can infer that Berkshire held around 900 million shares of Apple at the end of the third quarter. Assuming that there were no sales and no buys since then, those same 900 million shares are worth around $154 billion at a current share price of $171 - at the recent peak of $182, the position had a value of $164 billion.</p>\n<p>What does Berkshire get out of that $154 billion investment right now? Based on Apple's dividend of $0.22 per share per quarter, Berkshire receives about $790 million a year in dividends - this sounds like quite a lot, but relative to the massive size of the investment, it's just a yield of ~0.5% - the same yield all other Apple shareholders get. On top of that, Berkshire also gets a portion of Apple's other profits, of course. Some of those are paid out via buybacks, which make for a theoretical pro-forma return of around $4.5 billion to Berkshire every year, based on Apple's trailing twelve-month buyback yield of 2.9% (per YCharts). Shareholder returns thus total a little more than $5 billion a year (Berkshire's portion), for a yield of slightly above 3% - still not too great, I believe. Of course, Apple can also generate profits that are not paid out to shareholders, but that are, instead, reinvested to grow the business, e.g. via R&amp;D spending or capital expenditures. In recent years, however, that was not an especially large portion - with an earnings yield of just above 3%, based on estimates for the current fiscal year, and with buybacks and dividends totaling 3.4%, Apple isn't actually retaining any earnings right now.</p>\n<p>Looking at the shareholder return picture, or alternatively using the concept of \"look-through earnings\" - Berkshire's portion of Apple's profits - gets us to a relatively similar picture: Apple's earnings per share are forecasted at $5.70 during the current year - a 900 million share position thus generates theoretical profits of $5.1 billion for Apple. In both cases, whether we focus on actual shareholder returns or on the look-through profit concept, the return picture is comparable - Berkshire gets about $5 billion a year for a $150+ billion investment.</p>\n<p>This does, I believe, not generate an adequate return on investment, especially when we consider that the value of Berkshire's Apple investment could easily drop by tens of billions of dollars if Apple's valuation ever reverted back towards historical norms. A 20x earnings multiple for Apple, which would still be above the 10-year median earnings multiple (16, per YCharts), would see shares drop to ~$115, which would result in $52 billion in equity losses for Berkshire's AAPL position relative to how the position is valued today.</p>\n<p><b>Creating More Value For Shareholders</b></p>\n<p>If Apple is trading at a price that could justify locking in gains, this brings up an important question: What would Berkshire do with the proceeds if it were to sell its stake? I believe that there is a pretty good answer to that - they could use it to buy an excellent company trading at an inexpensive valuation. The company in question is one that management knows extremely well - it's Berkshire Hathaway.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway has been buying back its own shares at a considerable pace in recent quarters, which shows that management clearly likes the idea of buybacks, and that they deem BRK a good value at current prices - otherwise a great capital allocator, such as Warren Buffett, wouldn't spend billions on buybacks today:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/698ffef8c32981fa0d60f5e7a29f6726\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Berkshire has traded in the $280 to $300 range for more than half a year, and Berkshire has continued to spend billions of dollars on buybacks in that time frame, so it seems pretty obvious that Buffett sees Berkshire as an attractive value in that range. When we consider that Berkshire's book value has most likely risen in recent months, due to equity markets climbing and due to operating profits, BRK could be an even better deal today.</p>\n<p>Let's look at what selling the Apple stake and using the proceeds for buybacks could do for Berkshire and its shareholders. The Apple stake is worth $154 billion, and as established earlier, Berkshire generates about $5 billion a year from that. Berkshire's operating businesses generated about&nbsp;$6.5 billion&nbsp;during the most recent quarter, or $26 billion a year (assuming no future growth). Berkshire's equity portfolio, excluding Apple, was worth $183 billion at the end of the third quarter. The S&amp;P 500(NYSEARCA:SPY)&nbsp;has risen by 6% since then, so let's assume that the equity portfolio, without the Apple stake, is worth around $190 billion today (4% growth to be conservative). Let's now look at two scenarios.</p>\n<p>In the first scenario, the Apple investment is held and we also assume that other equity investments, as well as the cash position, are held. When we further assume that other equities are fairly valued, we can subtract those from Berkshire's current market capitalization to \"net them out\".</p>\n<p>In that case, Berkshire, including its Apple stake, is valued at $311 billion today, once we adjust the $650 billion market capitalization for the $190 billion in non-Apple equities, and for the $149 billion in cash held at the end of the third quarter. Investors get $26 billion in operating earnings, and $5 billion in Apple earnings for that investment, which makes for a $31 billion total - Apple is thus, once we net out cash and non-Apple equities, trading at 10x current profits. In other words, investors get $13.70 in earnings per share from Apple in the form of operating profits and Apple earnings, and they get $150 per share in the form of cash and non-Apple equities held at Berkshire on top of that. Paying $288 for that seems like a pretty good deal, I believe.</p>\n<p>Things get way better in scenario 2, however, where Berkshire sells all of its 900 million shares in Apple and uses the proceeds to buy back $154 billion worth of BRK. This would reduce the share count by 535 million, from 2.26 billion to 1.73 billion. At $288 per share, Berkshire would then be valued at $497 billion. The company would still own $190 billion in non-Apple equities, and $149 billion in cash, but those would be distributed over a significantly lower share count of just 1.73 billion, which would lift the per-share value to $196. Berkshire would also still generate $26 billion in operating profits, but the $5 billion in Apple profits would have vanished. The $26 billion in operating profits, distributed over 1.73 billion shares, would total $15.03, however. We see that, if Berkshire were to sell all its Apple shares and use all of the proceeds to reduce its share count by 24%, its per-share value should rise dramatically. Not only would the value of its cash and non-Apple investments rise from $150 per share to $196 per share, but its operating earnings (including the look-through Apple earnings in scenario 1) would also rise from $13.70 to $15.03. If Apple were to trade at a similar operating earnings multiple of around 10 in scenario 2, its per share value would climb from $288 in scenario 1 to $346 in scenario 2 ($196 of non-Apple equities and cash, and $150 for its operating businesses), all else equal. If we assume that a 10x earnings multiple for Berkshire's operating businesses is too low, and that they should be valued at a higher multiple, the impact is even larger.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Apple has been a great investment for Berkshire, but that does not mean that holding shares is the best idea. When Berkshire bought into AAPL, Apple was very inexpensive and out of favor. Today, Apple is pretty expensive, which makes it a way worse investment. At the same time, Berkshire itself is pretty inexpensive today, once we account for the Apple stake, other equity positions, and the large cash pile.</p>\n<p>Berkshire has shown that they are willing to take advantage of the low valuation BRK trades at by buying back shares at a rapid pace. Monetizing the overvalued Apple stake in order to ramp up buybacks further could create significant value for Berkshire's shareholders, and it would, at the same time, reduce risks from both a valuation perspective and since management would use the money to invest into the company it knows best - Berkshire.</p>\n<p>Selling/monetizing the currently overvalued Apple stake and using the proceeds to buy up undervalued Berkshire shares would thus be a good idea that should generate considerable shareholder value, I believe.</p>\n<p>This article was written by&nbsp;Jonathan Weber.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Buffett Should Sell Berkshire's Apple Stake</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\">\nWhy Buffett Should Sell Berkshire's Apple Stake\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-22 13:56 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4476181-why-buffett-should-sell-berkshires-apple-stake><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple has been a strong buy when Berkshire made its first investment.

At that time, Apple was trading at a completely different valuation compared to today:\nData by YCharts\nShares traded for 10-14x net profits, and at 7-9x EBITDA - not at all comparable to the 30x net earnings multiple and 24x EBITDA multiple AAPL trades at today. In other words, Buffett has, as could be expected, identified Apple as a strong investment when it was very inexpensive - following his \"Value\" approach. Right now, however, Apple is far from a value pick and instead seems pretty pricey, especially when we account for its not very convincing near-term growth outlook - forecasted EPS growth over the next couple of years ranges from just 2%-8% (linked above).\nPer Berkshire's most recent 10-Q filing, the company held $128 billion worth of Apple stock on September 30:\nSource: BRK 10-Q\nApple's share price on that date was $142, from which we can infer that Berkshire held around 900 million shares of Apple at the end of the third quarter. Assuming that there were no sales and no buys since then, those same 900 million shares are worth around $154 billion at a current share price of $171 - at the recent peak of $182, the position had a value of $164 billion.\nWhat does Berkshire get out of that $154 billion investment right now? Based on Apple's dividend of $0.22 per share per quarter, Berkshire receives about $790 million a year in dividends - this sounds like quite a lot, but relative to the massive size of the investment, it's just a yield of ~0.5% - the same yield all other Apple shareholders get. On top of that, Berkshire also gets a portion of Apple's other profits, of course. Some of those are paid out via buybacks, which make for a theoretical pro-forma return of around $4.5 billion to Berkshire every year, based on Apple's trailing twelve-month buyback yield of 2.9% (per YCharts). Shareholder returns thus total a little more than $5 billion a year (Berkshire's portion), for a yield of slightly above 3% - still not too great, I believe. Of course, Apple can also generate profits that are not paid out to shareholders, but that are, instead, reinvested to grow the business, e.g. via R&D spending or capital expenditures. In recent years, however, that was not an especially large portion - with an earnings yield of just above 3%, based on estimates for the current fiscal year, and with buybacks and dividends totaling 3.4%, Apple isn't actually retaining any earnings right now.\nLooking at the shareholder return picture, or alternatively using the concept of \"look-through earnings\" - Berkshire's portion of Apple's profits - gets us to a relatively similar picture: Apple's earnings per share are forecasted at $5.70 during the current year - a 900 million share position thus generates theoretical profits of $5.1 billion for Apple. In both cases, whether we focus on actual shareholder returns or on the look-through profit concept, the return picture is comparable - Berkshire gets about $5 billion a year for a $150+ billion investment.\nThis does, I believe, not generate an adequate return on investment, especially when we consider that the value of Berkshire's Apple investment could easily drop by tens of billions of dollars if Apple's valuation ever reverted back towards historical norms. A 20x earnings multiple for Apple, which would still be above the 10-year median earnings multiple (16, per YCharts), would see shares drop to ~$115, which would result in $52 billion in equity losses for Berkshire's AAPL position relative to how the position is valued today.\nCreating More Value For Shareholders\nIf Apple is trading at a price that could justify locking in gains, this brings up an important question: What would Berkshire do with the proceeds if it were to sell its stake? I believe that there is a pretty good answer to that - they could use it to buy an excellent company trading at an inexpensive valuation. The company in question is one that management knows extremely well - it's Berkshire Hathaway.\nBerkshire Hathaway has been buying back its own shares at a considerable pace in recent quarters, which shows that management clearly likes the idea of buybacks, and that they deem BRK a good value at current prices - otherwise a great capital allocator, such as Warren Buffett, wouldn't spend billions on buybacks today:\nData by YCharts\nBerkshire has traded in the $280 to $300 range for more than half a year, and Berkshire has continued to spend billions of dollars on buybacks in that time frame, so it seems pretty obvious that Buffett sees Berkshire as an attractive value in that range. When we consider that Berkshire's book value has most likely risen in recent months, due to equity markets climbing and due to operating profits, BRK could be an even better deal today.\nLet's look at what selling the Apple stake and using the proceeds for buybacks could do for Berkshire and its shareholders. The Apple stake is worth $154 billion, and as established earlier, Berkshire generates about $5 billion a year from that. Berkshire's operating businesses generated about $6.5 billion during the most recent quarter, or $26 billion a year (assuming no future growth). Berkshire's equity portfolio, excluding Apple, was worth $183 billion at the end of the third quarter. The S&P 500(NYSEARCA:SPY) has risen by 6% since then, so let's assume that the equity portfolio, without the Apple stake, is worth around $190 billion today (4% growth to be conservative). Let's now look at two scenarios.\nIn the first scenario, the Apple investment is held and we also assume that other equity investments, as well as the cash position, are held. When we further assume that other equities are fairly valued, we can subtract those from Berkshire's current market capitalization to \"net them out\".\nIn that case, Berkshire, including its Apple stake, is valued at $311 billion today, once we adjust the $650 billion market capitalization for the $190 billion in non-Apple equities, and for the $149 billion in cash held at the end of the third quarter. Investors get $26 billion in operating earnings, and $5 billion in Apple earnings for that investment, which makes for a $31 billion total - Apple is thus, once we net out cash and non-Apple equities, trading at 10x current profits. In other words, investors get $13.70 in earnings per share from Apple in the form of operating profits and Apple earnings, and they get $150 per share in the form of cash and non-Apple equities held at Berkshire on top of that. Paying $288 for that seems like a pretty good deal, I believe.\nThings get way better in scenario 2, however, where Berkshire sells all of its 900 million shares in Apple and uses the proceeds to buy back $154 billion worth of BRK. This would reduce the share count by 535 million, from 2.26 billion to 1.73 billion. At $288 per share, Berkshire would then be valued at $497 billion. The company would still own $190 billion in non-Apple equities, and $149 billion in cash, but those would be distributed over a significantly lower share count of just 1.73 billion, which would lift the per-share value to $196. Berkshire would also still generate $26 billion in operating profits, but the $5 billion in Apple profits would have vanished. The $26 billion in operating profits, distributed over 1.73 billion shares, would total $15.03, however. We see that, if Berkshire were to sell all its Apple shares and use all of the proceeds to reduce its share count by 24%, its per-share value should rise dramatically. Not only would the value of its cash and non-Apple investments rise from $150 per share to $196 per share, but its operating earnings (including the look-through Apple earnings in scenario 1) would also rise from $13.70 to $15.03. If Apple were to trade at a similar operating earnings multiple of around 10 in scenario 2, its per share value would climb from $288 in scenario 1 to $346 in scenario 2 ($196 of non-Apple equities and cash, and $150 for its operating businesses), all else equal. If we assume that a 10x earnings multiple for Berkshire's operating businesses is too low, and that they should be valued at a higher multiple, the impact is even larger.\nTakeaway\nApple has been a great investment for Berkshire, but that does not mean that holding shares is the best idea. When Berkshire bought into AAPL, Apple was very inexpensive and out of favor. Today, Apple is pretty expensive, which makes it a way worse investment. At the same time, Berkshire itself is pretty inexpensive today, once we account for the Apple stake, other equity positions, and the large cash pile.\nBerkshire has shown that they are willing to take advantage of the low valuation BRK trades at by buying back shares at a rapid pace. Monetizing the overvalued Apple stake in order to ramp up buybacks further could create significant value for Berkshire's shareholders, and it would, at the same time, reduce risks from both a valuation perspective and since management would use the money to invest into the company it knows best - Berkshire.\nSelling/monetizing the currently overvalued Apple stake and using the proceeds to buy up undervalued Berkshire shares would thus be a good idea that should generate considerable shareholder value, I believe.\nThis article was written by Jonathan Weber.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":130,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691144069,"gmtCreate":1640155111482,"gmtModify":1640156541540,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just the latest victim of this Omicron twist.

It's also in the midst of purchasing liquor store chain <b>Alcanna</b> (OTC:LQSIF) in an all-stock deal that was initially valued at $346 million.&nbsp; The Alcanna buyout, should it close, will represent the bulk of Sundial's sales boost in 2022.</p>\n<p>While I understand that some investors are fascinated by penny stocks and believe they offer more upside potential than established companies with higher share prices, this rarely turns out to be the case. Sundial, whose shares could be purchased for less than $0.59 as of this past weekend, has been burying its investors under the weight of new share issuances for 14 months and counting. The company has issued approximately 1.6 billion new shares over that time, and rather than utilize its cash to acquire Alcanna, the company intends to issue another 387.3 million shares.

At this point, a reverse split might be the only thing that'll save this \"growth stock\" from delisting.</p>\n<h2>Inovio Pharmaceuticals: Consensus estimate of 3,258% sales growth in 2022</h2>\n<p>Another ultra-popular company that's expected to deliver jaw-dropping sales growth next year is clinical-stage biotech stock <b>Inovio Pharmaceuticals</b> (NASDAQ:INO). Wall Street anticipates Inovio will see sales skyrocket from a consensus of just $7.4 million this year to almost $126 million in 2022. That's an increase of well over 3,200%.</p>\n<p>Though Inovio has an extensive pipeline that covers infectious diseases, cancer, and human papillomavirus-targeted diseases, Wall Street's aggressive sales growth estimate appears to be tied to the company's development of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.</p>\n<p>At the moment, Inovio has two COVID-19 candidates in development. INO-4800 is the furthest along, with phase 3 global studies under way via the Innovate trial. The other is INO-4802, a preclinical \"next-generation\" COVID-19 vaccine targeted at major variants of the disease.</p>\n<p>While Inovio looked as if it would be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the first drugmakers to reach late-stage clinical trials in the U.S. last year, everything came crashing to a halt when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a partial clinical hold on INO-4800 and the company's proprietary hand-held delivery device, Cellectra in September 2020. This partial hold on phase 3 trials was only lifted last month. Thus, for 14 months, Inovio couldn't advance its COVID-19 vaccine to late-stage trials in the U.S. and was forced to take its large-scale study overseas.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the bigger concern for investors is that Inovio Pharmaceuticals has never brought a drug to pharmacy shelves. As noted, Inovio is never hurting for promising preclinical and clinical candidates. But more than four decades after its inception, Inovio still doesn't have a way to generate recurring revenue. Though it's possible INO-4800 joins a crowded field of COVID-19 vaccine candidates, history suggests disappointment is the more likely outcome.</p>\n<h2>Nikola: Consensus estimate of 5,569% sales growth in 2022</h2>\n<p>However, the biggest growth opportunity, at least on this list, comes from electric vehicle (EV) and fuel-cell EV manufacturer <b>Nikola</b> (NASDAQ:NKLA). The expectation is for Nikola to grow revenue from an estimated $2.6 million in 2021 to about $148.5 million next year. That's an increase of more than 5,500%.</p>\n<p>Developed countries are going to take whatever steps they can over the coming years and decades to combat climate change. One of the easiest and most visible ways to reduce our carbon footprint is to go green with EVs. Replacing consumer and commercial vehicles is a multidecade process that could very well allow a dozen or more new automakers to shine. Nikola, which primarily targets enterprise fleets, is aiming to be one of those transformative businesses.</p>\n<p>The boost in sales for Nikola is almost certainly the result of landing two agreements in October. The company secured a letter of intent from PGT Trucking for 100 Nikola Tre heavy-duty fuel-cell EVs, and formed a collaboration with <b>TC Energy</b>&nbsp;to develop hydrogen hubs for the refueling of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks.</p>\n<p>But for all the positive news and momentum in the sails of the EV industry, Nikola has been shrouded by a dark cloud. It began last year, when noted short-side firm Hindenburg Research alleged Nikola was a fraud. Although many of Hindenburg's claims would be proved untrue by an independent review, certain allegations, including Nikola's pre-sell figures, were deemed to be inaccurate. This led the Securities and Exchange Commission to probe the company.</p>\n<p>Additionally, founder Trevor Milton, who stepped down last year, was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice this past July for making false and misleading statements to retail investors.</p>\n<p>What excitement did surround Nikola has long since disappeared as investor trust in the company has been decimated. It's also not clear if Nikola has anywhere near enough capital to ramp up production.</p>\n<p>Long story short, the lesson from this stock trio is that rapid sales growth often doesn't tell investors the full story.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Ultra-Popular Stocks Expected to Increase Sales 981% to 5,569% in 2022</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Ultra-Popular Stocks Expected to Increase Sales 981% to 5,569% in 2022\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-15 19:54 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/15/3-popular-stock-increase-sales-981-to-5569-in-2022/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In a little over two weeks, the curtain will close on what should go down as another winning year for the stock market.

Through this past weekend, the broad-based S&P 500 had gained 25%, which is more than double its average annual total return, including dividends, of 11% over the past four decades.\nBut for some ultra-popular stocks, their growth period is just beginning. According to Wall Street's consensus estimate, three widely followed companies are expected to deliver sales growth in 2022 ranging from a low of 981% to as much as 5,569%\nSundial Growers: Consensus estimate of 981% sales growth in 2022\nThe first ultra-popular stock expected to deliver a more than tenfold increase in revenue for the upcoming year is Canadian marijuana stock Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL).

That's in large part thanks to stellar gains from just a handful of stocks.</p>\n<p>What's happening: According to new research from Goldman Sachs, just five companies —Microsoft,Apple,Nvidia,Tesla&nbsp;and Google parent&nbsp;Alphabet&nbsp;— have contributed 51% of S&amp;P 500 returns since April. Going back to the beginning of the year, they account for more than a third of the index's rise.</p>\n<p>We've&nbsp;spilled plenty of ink&nbsp;talking about the clout of FAANG stocks —&nbsp;Facebook, Apple,Amazon,Netflix&nbsp;and Google. But is it time to retire FAANG and ring in the era of ... MANTA?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54f62ca486902385551327c22d6e6c76\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"736\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>After shooting up 76% in 2020, Amazon's stock is up just 6% this year, compared to a nearly 26% rise in the S&amp;P 500. Supply chain problems and pay hikes to recruit and retain workers have eaten into Amazon's profits despite the ongoing boom in online shopping.</p>\n<p>Netflix's stock has also lost steam, rising 13% this year after skyrocketing 67% in 2020. The company has scored big with shows like \"Squid Game,\" but investors are worried about whether the company can&nbsp;keep rapidly recruiting subscribers&nbsp;as competition among streaming services grows.</p>\n<p>Facebook, now called Meta, has done slightly better, jumping 21% year-to-date. But that leaves it on track for its worst year since 2018, as investors weigh regulatory threats and the social network's pivot to virtual reality.</p>\n<p>Shares in Apple and Google have popped 35% and 69%, respectively. That's good enough to join the MANTA club.</p>\n<p>Tesla also makes the cut. After rising an eye-popping 743% in 2020, shares of Elon Musk's electric carmaker have kept pushing higher. They're up 44% since the beginning of 2021 as Wall Street tries to position itself for the green energy transition.</p>\n<p>Chipmaker Nvidia, for its part, has shaken off global supply issues and matched 122% gains last year with a 131% increase in 2021. Microsoft's surging cloud business has driven a 54% stock jump this year, also beating its performance in 2020.</p>\n<p>Step back: There have been moments over the past 12 months when investors have tried to reduce their exposure to high-growth companies, which don't look as attractive in a world where interest rates could begin to rise. But on the whole, tech and Tesla have remained the&nbsp;undisputed market champions&nbsp;— even if the basket of winners looks slightly different.</p>\n<p>A question that often arises when looking at the small number of companies that power the S&amp;P 500 is whether the concentration makes the market vulnerable to a larger pullback. If something happens to Nvidia, for example, will everyone get hurt — whether they own stock in the company or not?</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs thinks that as it stands, the risk is low.

That's in large part thanks to stellar gains from just a handful of stocks.\nWhat's happening: According to new research from Goldman Sachs, just five companies —Microsoft,Apple,Nvidia,Tesla and Google parent Alphabet — have contributed 51% of S&P 500 returns since April. Going back to the beginning of the year, they account for more than a third of the index's rise.\nWe've spilled plenty of ink talking about the clout of FAANG stocks — Facebook, Apple,Amazon,Netflix and Google. But is it time to retire FAANG and ring in the era of ... MANTA?\n\nAfter shooting up 76% in 2020, Amazon's stock is up just 6% this year, compared to a nearly 26% rise in the S&P 500. Supply chain problems and pay hikes to recruit and retain workers have eaten into Amazon's profits despite the ongoing boom in online shopping.\nNetflix's stock has also lost steam, rising 13% this year after skyrocketing 67% in 2020. The company has scored big with shows like \"Squid Game,\" but investors are worried about whether the company can keep rapidly recruiting subscribers as competition among streaming services grows.\nFacebook, now called Meta, has done slightly better, jumping 21% year-to-date. But that leaves it on track for its worst year since 2018, as investors weigh regulatory threats and the social network's pivot to virtual reality.\nShares in Apple and Google have popped 35% and 69%, respectively. That's good enough to join the MANTA club.\nTesla also makes the cut. After rising an eye-popping 743% in 2020, shares of Elon Musk's electric carmaker have kept pushing higher. They're up 44% since the beginning of 2021 as Wall Street tries to position itself for the green energy transition.\nChipmaker Nvidia, for its part, has shaken off global supply issues and matched 122% gains last year with a 131% increase in 2021. Microsoft's surging cloud business has driven a 54% stock jump this year, also beating its performance in 2020.\nStep back: There have been moments over the past 12 months when investors have tried to reduce their exposure to high-growth companies, which don't look as attractive in a world where interest rates could begin to rise. But on the whole, tech and Tesla have remained the undisputed market champions — even if the basket of winners looks slightly different.\nA question that often arises when looking at the small number of companies that power the S&P 500 is whether the concentration makes the market vulnerable to a larger pullback. If something happens to Nvidia, for example, will everyone get hurt — whether they own stock in the company or not?\nGoldman Sachs thinks that as it stands, the risk is low. The investment bank said investors have already priced in the beginning of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and notes that borrowing costs will remain extremely low. Corporate earnings also \"continue to surpass expectations.\"\n\"While 'unknown unknowns' cause the largest drawdowns and by their nature are impossible to assess in advance, the macro environment does not suggest drawdown risk is elevated in the coming months,\" its strategists said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":245,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":607541313,"gmtCreate":1639570381232,"gmtModify":1639571035897,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Conflicting contradictory confusing messages.

Through this past weekend, the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b> had gained 25%, which is more than double its average annual total return, including dividends, of 11% over the past four decades.</p>\n<p>But for some ultra-popular stocks, their growth period is just beginning. According to Wall Street's consensus estimate, three widely followed companies are expected to deliver sales growth in 2022 ranging from a low of 981% to as much as 5,569%</p>\n<h2>Sundial Growers: Consensus estimate of 981% sales growth in 2022</h2>\n<p>The first ultra-popular stock expected to deliver a more than tenfold increase in revenue for the upcoming year is Canadian marijuana stock <b>Sundial Growers</b> (NASDAQ:SNDL). Wall Street has Sundial pegged to bring in almost $540 million in sales in 2022, up from an estimated $50.5 million this year.</p>\n<p>Cannabis is a rapidly growing industry, and Canada was the first developed country to give adult-use weed the green light. Since the Oct. 17, 2018, legalization of recreational pot, legal weed sales have been on a fairly steady incline.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Canadian licensed producers (LPs) have fared poorly. National and provincial regulators have been slow to authorize growing and retail licenses, and the LPs themselves did a poor job of managing their assets, budgeting their cash, and assessing the actual demand for pot products.</p>\n<p>The reason Sundial is expected to deliver such a sizable jump in revenue next year has everything to do with acquisitions and virtually nothing to do with organic growth. In July, Sundial closed a cash-and-stock deal to acquire retailer <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INSHF\">Inner Spirit Holdings</a>. It's also in the midst of purchasing liquor store chain <b>Alcanna</b> (OTC:LQSIF) in an all-stock deal that was initially valued at $346 million.&nbsp; The Alcanna buyout, should it close, will represent the bulk of Sundial's sales boost in 2022.</p>\n<p>While I understand that some investors are fascinated by penny stocks and believe they offer more upside potential than established companies with higher share prices, this rarely turns out to be the case. Sundial, whose shares could be purchased for less than $0.59 as of this past weekend, has been burying its investors under the weight of new share issuances for 14 months and counting. The company has issued approximately 1.6 billion new shares over that time, and rather than utilize its cash to acquire Alcanna, the company intends to issue another 387.3 million shares. In other words, Sundial could be weeks away from having 2.5 billion shares outstanding.</p>\n<p>With so many shares outstanding and cannabis operations that have gone nowhere in years, Sundial's chance of generating a meaningful per-share profit is pretty much zero. At this point, a reverse split might be the only thing that'll save this \"growth stock\" from delisting.</p>\n<h2>Inovio Pharmaceuticals: Consensus estimate of 3,258% sales growth in 2022</h2>\n<p>Another ultra-popular company that's expected to deliver jaw-dropping sales growth next year is clinical-stage biotech stock <b>Inovio Pharmaceuticals</b> (NASDAQ:INO). Wall Street anticipates Inovio will see sales skyrocket from a consensus of just $7.4 million this year to almost $126 million in 2022. That's an increase of well over 3,200%.</p>\n<p>Though Inovio has an extensive pipeline that covers infectious diseases, cancer, and human papillomavirus-targeted diseases, Wall Street's aggressive sales growth estimate appears to be tied to the company's development of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.</p>\n<p>At the moment, Inovio has two COVID-19 candidates in development. INO-4800 is the furthest along, with phase 3 global studies under way via the Innovate trial. The other is INO-4802, a preclinical \"next-generation\" COVID-19 vaccine targeted at major variants of the disease.</p>\n<p>While Inovio looked as if it would be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the first drugmakers to reach late-stage clinical trials in the U.S. last year, everything came crashing to a halt when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a partial clinical hold on INO-4800 and the company's proprietary hand-held delivery device, Cellectra in September 2020. This partial hold on phase 3 trials was only lifted last month. Thus, for 14 months, Inovio couldn't advance its COVID-19 vaccine to late-stage trials in the U.S. and was forced to take its large-scale study overseas.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the bigger concern for investors is that Inovio Pharmaceuticals has never brought a drug to pharmacy shelves. As noted, Inovio is never hurting for promising preclinical and clinical candidates. But more than four decades after its inception, Inovio still doesn't have a way to generate recurring revenue. Though it's possible INO-4800 joins a crowded field of COVID-19 vaccine candidates, history suggests disappointment is the more likely outcome.</p>\n<h2>Nikola: Consensus estimate of 5,569% sales growth in 2022</h2>\n<p>However, the biggest growth opportunity, at least on this list, comes from electric vehicle (EV) and fuel-cell EV manufacturer <b>Nikola</b> (NASDAQ:NKLA). The expectation is for Nikola to grow revenue from an estimated $2.6 million in 2021 to about $148.5 million next year. That's an increase of more than 5,500%.</p>\n<p>Developed countries are going to take whatever steps they can over the coming years and decades to combat climate change. One of the easiest and most visible ways to reduce our carbon footprint is to go green with EVs. Replacing consumer and commercial vehicles is a multidecade process that could very well allow a dozen or more new automakers to shine. Nikola, which primarily targets enterprise fleets, is aiming to be one of those transformative businesses.</p>\n<p>The boost in sales for Nikola is almost certainly the result of landing two agreements in October. The company secured a letter of intent from PGT Trucking for 100 Nikola Tre heavy-duty fuel-cell EVs, and formed a collaboration with <b>TC Energy</b>&nbsp;to develop hydrogen hubs for the refueling of hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks.</p>\n<p>But for all the positive news and momentum in the sails of the EV industry, Nikola has been shrouded by a dark cloud. It began last year, when noted short-side firm Hindenburg Research alleged Nikola was a fraud. Although many of Hindenburg's claims would be proved untrue by an independent review, certain allegations, including Nikola's pre-sell figures, were deemed to be inaccurate. This led the Securities and Exchange Commission to probe the company.</p>\n<p>Additionally, founder Trevor Milton, who stepped down last year, was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice this past July for making false and misleading statements to retail investors.</p>\n<p>What excitement did surround Nikola has long since disappeared as investor trust in the company has been decimated. It's also not clear if Nikola has anywhere near enough capital to ramp up production.</p>\n<p>Long story short, the lesson from this stock trio is that rapid sales growth often doesn't tell investors the full story.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Ultra-Popular Stocks Expected to Increase Sales 981% to 5,569% in 2022</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Ultra-Popular Stocks Expected to Increase Sales 981% to 5,569% in 2022\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-15 19:54 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/15/3-popular-stock-increase-sales-981-to-5569-in-2022/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In a little over two weeks, the curtain will close on what should go down as another winning year for the stock market.

This led the Securities and Exchange Commission to probe the company.\nAdditionally, founder Trevor Milton, who stepped down last year, was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice this past July for making false and misleading statements to retail investors.\nWhat excitement did surround Nikola has long since disappeared as investor trust in the company has been decimated. It's also not clear if Nikola has anywhere near enough capital to ramp up production.\nLong story short, the lesson from this stock trio is that rapid sales growth often doesn't tell investors the full story.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":378,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":867155019,"gmtCreate":1633229748443,"gmtModify":1633229749785,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is quite interesting.

Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Healthcare giant Bristol Myers Squibb is a stock that investors could easily be overlooking right now. From afar, its financials look horrible. For the trailing 12 months, the company incurred a net loss of $5 billion. So investors relying on stock screeners to try and find good buys could easily overlook Bristol Myers -- and they have. Year to date, shares of the healthcare stock are down about 2% while the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has soared 16%.</p>\n<p>But investors who dig a little deeper will find a slightly different story. The huge loss is in fact due to a massive research and development charge of more than $11 billion that the company incurred for its acquisition of MyoKardia, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops cardiovascular medicine. That negatively impacted the fourth quarter of last year and is still impacting the trailing 12-month numbers.</p>\n<p>In the past two quarters, however, the company has been firmly in the black. Through the first six months of 2021, Bristol Myers' revenue of $22.8 billion has risen 9% year over year, and its net earnings have flipped from a $846 million loss in 2020 to a $3.1 billion profit.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, with free cash flow of $11.7 billion over the past four quarters, its dividend also looks rock-solid. The company has paid out $4.2 billion during that time while also making stock repurchases of $4.5 billion. This serves as further proof that accounting income alone can't be relied on to assess the health of a company's operations. Cash flow is arguably a much more important indicator than net income -- and by that metric, Bristol Myers is doing just fine.</p>\n<p>So a closer look at Bristol Myers suggests the company is a much safer buy than its numbers may appear at first glance. A forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio can be useful for companies when a bad quarter or two have weighed on their numbers. And by that measure, Bristol Myers only trades at a P/E of 8 — incredibly cheap compared to other healthcare stocks, such as <b>Merck</b> (NYSE:MRK) and <b>Amgen </b>(NASDAQ:AMGN), which both trade at about 13 times their future profits.</p>\n<p>Finally, there's the 3.3% dividend yield, which is more than twice as much as the S&amp;P 500's 1.3%. Whether you're a growth investor or love a good dividend, this is an underrated healthcare stock that should be on your radar.</p>\n<h2>2. ViacomCBS</h2>\n<p>Another stock that's trading at a low valuation is ViacomCBS. At a forward P/E multiple of just 10, it's nowhere near the premium that investors are paying for other companies in the entertainment and streaming business, such as <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX)&nbsp;and <b>Walt Disney </b>(NYSE:DIS) -- trading at 56 and 70 times their forward profits, respectively.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, ViacomCBS' Paramount+ streaming service isn't as popular, and that could be a reason investors aren't giving the stock as much of a chance. Overall, the company has a total of 42 million global streaming subscribers (including Paramount+ and other smaller services such as Pluto TV). By comparison, Netflix has more than 200 million subscribers while Disney+ now has 116 million.</p>\n<p>But Paramount+ doesn't have to be the top streaming service for ViacomCBS to be an attractive buy. In its latest quarter ended June 30, the company reported that streaming revenue grew 92% to $983 million from the year-ago period and advertising revenue rose 24% to $2.1 billion.</p>\n<p>The lone blemish for the company was its \"licensing and other\" segment, which fell 36% to $1.2 billion -- hurt by the absence of theatrical releases during the pandemic. That kept the company's sales growth relatively modest last quarter, rising 8% to $6.6 billion. However, as the economy continues to recover from the pandemic, those numbers should get stronger.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ViacomCBS also offers investors an above-average dividend yield of 2.4%. And with free cash of $2.6 billion over the past 12 months, it is generating more than enough to cover the $601 million in dividends it paid out during that time.</p>\n<p>So, while Paramount+ may be an afterthought for some investors looking to go into top streaming stocks, that in fact could be an opportunity. ViacomCBS shares still fly under the radar -- up just 8% this year. As subscribers continue to increase and revenues improve, it may just be a matter of time before the stock takes off.</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>2 Ridiculously Cheap Growth Stocks to Buy</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\">\n2 Ridiculously Cheap Growth Stocks to Buy\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-03 08:47 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/10/02/2-ridiculously-cheap-growth-stocks-to-buy/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Growth stocks can sometimes trade at inflated valuations because of their attractive long-term potential.

Others argue that you can’t sugar-coat worse-than-expected economic news.</p>\n<p>To help resolve their disagreement, I analyzed daily CESI data back to 2003. Specifically, I measured its correlation with the S&amp;P 500’sSPX,+0.15%return over the subsequent month-, quarter-, six months, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> year.

Citigroup created the index as a useful tool for foreign exchange traders.Citigroup has saidthat the CESI “is a perfect example of unique proprietary design which has almost no bearing on those who discuss it… It was not meant to be used for stock prices.”</p>\n<p>There’s a broader lesson here for us to learn as well: We need to subject our intuitions to empirical reality checks. That’s especially important when our hunches seem so obviously true — as is the case when it comes to whether the economic news is coming in better or worse than expected. Stock market history is filled with expectations that were guaranteed to happen but which did not.</p>\n<p>It can be tedious plowing through huge databases to see if a pattern really exists. But it’s worth the effort. Though being statistically rigorous does not guarantee that you will beat the market, you most assuredly will lose to the market if you’re statistically sloppy and inconsistent.</p>","source":"lsy1616996754749","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>Opinion: Market analysts can’t agree on where stocks are going next.

Some believe it’s good news, on the contrarian theory that the worse-than-expected news constitutes a“wall of worry”that the U.S. bull market can climb. Others argue that you can’t sugar-coat worse-than-expected economic news.\nTo help resolve their disagreement, I analyzed daily CESI data back to 2003. Specifically, I measured its correlation with the S&P 500’sSPX,+0.15%return over the subsequent month-, quarter-, six months, and one year. I came up with nothing that met traditional standards of statistical significance.\nA summary of what I found is plotted in the chart below. Notice that the S&P 500’s average return is virtually the same regardless of whether the CESI is positive or negative, trending upward or downward.\n\nThese findings are not a criticism of the CESI itself. Citigroup created the index as a useful tool for foreign exchange traders.Citigroup has saidthat the CESI “is a perfect example of unique proprietary design which has almost no bearing on those who discuss it… It was not meant to be used for stock prices.”\nThere’s a broader lesson here for us to learn as well: We need to subject our intuitions to empirical reality checks. That’s especially important when our hunches seem so obviously true — as is the case when it comes to whether the economic news is coming in better or worse than expected. Stock market history is filled with expectations that were guaranteed to happen but which did not.\nIt can be tedious plowing through huge databases to see if a pattern really exists. But it’s worth the effort. Though being statistically rigorous does not guarantee that you will beat the market, you most assuredly will lose to the market if you’re statistically sloppy and inconsistent.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":85,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":859240748,"gmtCreate":1634703759097,"gmtModify":1634703760444,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a saga that is just beginning to unfold.

That includes 30 EV models that will launch globally by 2025, including cars, trucks, and SUVs.</p>\n<p>But it isn't GM's EV capacity that makes it a better buy than Rivian, it's the company's majority ownership of Cruise, the autonomous ride-sharing company, that provides the most upside. GM is providing Cruise with design and manufacturing capabilities to build autonomous vehicles like the Cruise Origin (shown above), a self-driving shuttle for ride-sharing developed in a partnership between Cruise, GM, and&nbsp;<b>Honda</b>. Cruise is developing autonomous driving hardware and software that go into Origin and eventually a ride-sharing business. GM is also providing funding to build out Cruise's vehicle infrastructure, which could cost many billions of dollars, starting with a $5 billion line of credit to buy Cruise Origins.</p>\n<p>In time, autonomous vehicles could reduce the cost of traveling in cities and even make vehicle ownership obsolete. Cruise is leading the way into this market, and that provides tremendous upside for GM. This may be an old company in the auto industry, but it's making great strategic moves to be a leader in the future of electric and autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p><b>Picks and shovels</b></p>\n<p><b>Howard Smith(ChargePoint Holdings)</b>:Rivian's public debut&nbsp;generated a lot of excitement for good reason. The company has big backers and reportedly a backlog of orders for both fleets and consumer electric vehicles (EVs). But investors have seen plenty of examples where initial excitement causes a spike in valuation that doesn't always last.</p>\n<p>Another exciting recent event for EV investors was the passage of a federal infrastructure bill that will push $7.5 billion to help build out the charging infrastructure needed for this country to expand EV ownership. ChargePoint Holdings is the leader in that space with more than 118,000 charging ports, including more than 3,700 DC fast chargers. The vast majority of those stations are in the U.S., though the company is also growing its business in Europe where it already has 5,400 charging locations.</p>\n<p>Those federal infrastructure funds will be sent to states that will issue grants to the charging network companies, which will make up the country's network. And that should be a big shot in the arm for ChargePoint as the largest operator in the country. Even prior to the realization of that catalyst, ChargePoint was growing its business beyond what it had predicted before its public debut.</p>\n<p>The company recorded $146 million in revenue&nbsp;for its full fiscal year 2021 that ended Jan. 31, 2021. In its most recently reported quarter ended July 31, 2021, it raised its revenue guidance for its current fiscal year by 15% to a range of $225 million to $235 million. At the midpoint, that would represent annual revenue growth of 57.5%, even without the added catalyst of federal funds.</p>\n<p>ChargePoint generated its own excitement when it announced it would begin trading publicly last year. The stock is almost 50% off the peak price reached at the end of Dec. 2020 prior to the closing of its merger with the&nbsp;special purpose acquisition company (SPAC)&nbsp;that brought it public. It wouldn't be surprising to see Rivian's stock fluctuate as well. But for Rivian -- and all the other EV makers -- to be successful, there will need to be charging infrastructure in place. That makes ChargePoint a \"picks and shovels\" type of investment for the rapidly growing EV sector. That could make it a better investment today than adding to Rivian's early hype.</p>\n<p><b>Lucid is proving it can compete against the best in the business</b></p>\n<p><b>Daniel Foelber(Lucid Group):</b>Rivian's roughly $120 billion market capitalization is raising eyebrows considering the company is relatively unproven. Similarly, Lucid Motors has received its fair share of criticism for sporting a $65 billion market cap just over a month into the&nbsp;mass production of its Lucid Air Dream Edition luxury sedan.</p>\n<p>Rivian and Lucid are pricey, and it's hard to say which is the better value now. Rivian has received backing from&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Ford</b>&nbsp;as it targets the higher-end electric lifestyle truck and electric delivery van markets. Similar to&nbsp;<b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:TSLA), the company is bypassing the dealership framework of traditional automakers by&nbsp;marketing directly to consumers. Rivian also plans to build its own charging network to make electricity more accessible in remote places where a core part of its outdoor-focused target demographic requires the ability to charge. By comparison,Lucid doesn't feel the need to invest in its own charging network, choosing instead to save money by partnering with the growing list of third-party charging providers.</p>\n<p>Rivian has already faced delivery delays due to the global chip shortage. By comparison, Lucid has quickly built a&nbsp;reputation for delivering on its promises, having hit all of its major 2021 goals on time. Lucid also has an excellent management team and plenty of cash to fund its 2022 operations.</p>\n<p>Arguably the best reason&nbsp;why there's never been a better time to buy Lucid stock&nbsp;is that the company has achieved incredible engineering feats that&nbsp;rival Tesla-- the undisputed champ in the EV industry. Packing in more battery cells can help improve performance, but Lucid isn't doing that. Instead, it has built a&nbsp;compact battery pack&nbsp;that sports a battery efficiency of 4.5 miles per kilowatt-hour (mi/kWh) of stored energy, which is higher than the Tesla Model S, Jaguar I-Pace, Porsche Taycan, and other competitors. Lucid management believes that battery efficiency is the key differentiating factor, not just higher horsepower and range. With the Lucid Air Dream Edition and Grand Touring, it has outdone the competition in both efficiency ratings and performance -- albeit for a high price tag.</p>\n<p>Rivian supporters would argue that not only does Rivian have a nice head start in the lifestyle EV pickup truck market, but it's also going to be a relatively insulated market because seasoned automakers like Ford and GM are only challenging the standard pickup truck market (for now). By comparison, Lucid plans to roll out lower prices trims of its sedan that would have to compete against expensive but much more \"affordable\" luxury sedan leaders. In doing so, it plans to lower the horsepower and range of its cars, which would bridge the gap between its advantages and the competition. However, what gives Lucid the edge over Rivian is that it has proven it can go toe-to-toe with the best in the business, hit its targets, and has plans to&nbsp;grow quickly in 2022 and beyond.</p>\n<p>Given that the growth trajectory is mapped out, Lucid has a clear path toward even greater success. However, investors should be aware that Lucid stock is likely to remain extremely volatile as the company works toward scaling production.</p>\n<p><b>EVs are here to stay</b></p>\n<p>What we all agree on is that electric vehicles are here to stay. They're now competitive with fossil fuel vehicles in range, costs are coming down, and the innovative companies making EVs are enabling autonomy as well. The entire EV space has huge potential; we just think GM, ChargePoint, and Lucid are better buys than Rivian at today's price.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Rivian Soars On IPO, But These 3 EV Stocks Are Better Buys 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\">\nRivian Soars On IPO, But These 3 EV Stocks Are Better Buys Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-11-14 09:27 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/11/13/rivian-soars-on-ipo-but-these-3-stocks/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Rivian Automotive(NASDAQ:RIVN)has hit the market with a bang, trading more than 30% over its IPO price and now sporting a market cap near $100 billion.

That is the billion (or trillion) dollar question. Before we delve","content":"<p>What happens when the Fed tapers? That is the billion (or trillion) dollar question. Before we delve into the possible outcome(s) though, we must first understand what tapering means.</p>\n<p>In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the Federal Reserve&nbsp;slashed interest rates to zero in March 2020&nbsp;to help bolster growth. It also began its $120 billion in monthly asset purchases, a program known as quantitative easing (QE) that has roughly doubled the Fed’s balance sheet to about $8.5 trillion since the start of the pandemic.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d66984161d481448082b5856b1c7465c\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"800\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cfe5a1c43965ba4fe7c492c026c915b8\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"800\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System</span></p>\n<p>QE helps by reducing long-term interest rates, thereby encouraging borrowing to help spur spending, and in turn, the economy. In doing so, the Fed essentially reduces the available supply of these bonds in the open market, forcing investors who want to own them to drive up prices. Driving up bond prices has the effect of lowering interest rates, which lowers the borrowing costs of households on their mortgages, or the costs of corporations to borrow by issuing debt.</p>\n<p>As the Fed eases the pace and pares back the amount of these purchases, tapering begins with the ultimate goal of sending interest rates back to “normal.” Tapering can impact long-term interest rates, as this typically sends a signal to the markets that the Fed is shifting to a less accommodative policy stance in the future. The key is to understand that tapering does not mean the Fed stops purchasing assets, but it just reduces the pace of its balance sheet expansion. This is different than tightening, which means the Fed will no longer add assets to its balance sheet and will instead reduce the assets it holds by selling them — with&nbsp;large companies recently&nbsp;including&nbsp;<b>Caterpillar Inc.</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Home Depot</b>&nbsp;taking advantage of to issue new bonds.</p>\n<p>Aside from interest rates, tapering could have an impact on the U.S. dollar. The trajectory of the U.S. dollar is important for investors as it impacts everything from commodity prices to corporate earnings. Higher yields make dollar-denominated assets more attractive to income seeking investors. Tapering is typically bullish for the dollar as it means a move toward tighter monetary policy. Since currencies normally appreciate when their domestic short-term rates rise, as the Fed continues to signal imminent tightening, markets are pricing in higher rates. This offers support to the dollar amid an already choppy risk environment that is a positive for the safe haven dollar. As mentioned above, if the Fed will be buying fewer debt assets, there would be fewer dollars in circulation.</p>\n<p>The market is anticipating the beginning of the taper process could begin sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, possibly as soon as November. In addition, half of the Fed vice presidents project interest rates rising at some point in 2022. Fed Chairman Powell is anticipating the taper process could end around the middle of next year, as long as the recovery remains on track. The Central Bank has insisted that they expect to keep the funds rate near zero until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with their projections of maximum employment. We are nowhere near pre-pandemic unemployment levels (with 8.4 million unemployed persons in the U.S. now versus 5.7 million in February 2020).

We have shortages and supply line issues that hamper production and profitability. All of this will pass.</p>\n<p>What is the problem? Our government is dysfunctional, and we need leadership, especially now, to handle the myriad of domestic and foreign issues facing all of us. We will muddle through and finally get a much-needed traditional infrastructure bill and possibly a scaled-down $2 trillion social spending bill along with lower-than-expected punitive tax increases, this year but 2022 could be a great year, not just a very good year, if only we worked together.</p>\n<p>We have not altered our view that S&amp;P earnings could exceed $220/share in 2022 and $235/share in 2023 as operating margins hit nearly 14% in 2023, up from 11.5% in 2019. Why? Corporations have learned to do more with less during the pandemic; shortages and supply line issues will ease, and substantial increases in technology spending will go a long way, offsetting higher labor costs while improving operations/efficiencies on all levels. Powell will be right that higher inflationary pressures will be transitory, but it may take longer to normalize. We will continue to have accommodative fiscal and monetary policies in 2022. Not a bad market scenario, so use corrections as opportunities to add to your positions. So, as I've said before, invest, don't trade.</p>\n<p>Economies are reaccelerating as the number of Delta cases and death have peaked. Domestic cases have declined 23% and deaths 13% over the 14 days and 17% and 14%, respectively, globally. More than 6.43 billion doses have been administered globally across 184 countries at a daily rate of 28.7 million doses per day. In the U.S., 398 million doses have been given so far at an elevated rate of 931,983 doses per day.</p>\n<p>We still see over 75% of the global population vaccinated within six months and herd immunity sooner. Pfizer(NYSE:PFE)filed Thursday with the FDA its vaccine for children ages 5-11, bringing shots for all school-age children closer, which will boost the economy as parents can return to work. We expect that both Pfizer and Merck's(NYSE:MRK)filings with the FDA will be approved well before year-end. All good news!</p>\n<p>The Fed is itching to start tapering, ending its extraordinary monetary support, which is no longer needed as the economy is on firm footing, and it appears that the Delta variant is subsiding. Unfortunately, Powell and the Fed have been called out for oversight over board members' trading. Two governors have already resigned, and we expect one more may leave shortly. Tapering will probably begin before year-end if the next employment report improves from September and be finished by the third quarter of 2022.</p>\n<p>Again, tapering is NOT tightening, and we do not expect the Fed to start hiking the funds' rate until early 2023. The \"real\" funds' rate will be negative for some time which is NOT tightening at all. By the way, we disagree with Elizabeth Warren's criticism of Chairman Powell and hope that he is renominated next year. The bottom line is that the Fed will remain your friend for at least another 18 months. Don't fight the Fed!</p>\n<p>We are so frustrated by what is happening in D.C. It is all about politics, no surprise, and not about doing what is best for this country. Why do we always have to go to the brink before action is taken? That is precisely what happened this week when the Republicans caved and offered a two-month short-term debt limit extension letting the Dems off the hook from going the route of reconciliation. It passed Thursday night. Daily negotiations continue for the massive social infrastructure program. It will be much smaller than initially proposed, closer to $2 trillion rather than $3.5 trillion. We expect the individual and corporate tax increases to be much more reasonable than initially proposed, which is a clear positive for the economy and financial markets.</p>\n<p>The domestic economy is recovering from the Delta variant, which penalized growth during the summer months. The areas hit most over the summer; travel, dining, and leisure are coming back strongly, as evidenced by the recovery in the high-frequency data.</p>\n<p>Other recent data points include: initial jobless claims fell more than expected to 326,000; the index of consumer sentiment rose in September to 72.9, current economic conditions increased to 80.1, and consumer expectations rose to 68.1; the September Manufacturing PMI increased to 61.1, new orders to 66.7, employment up to 50.1, supplier deliveries to 73.4 and prices index increased to 81.2; the services index grew for the 15th month hitting 60.1, new orders at 63.2, employment at 53.7 and supplier deliveries at 69.6; new orders for manufactured goods increased 1.2% while shipments rose 0.1% and unfilled orders increased 1.0%; and the trade deficit widened to $73.3 billion as imports increased more rapidly than exports due to the strength of the domestic economy.</p>\n<p>Growth and profitability would be even more robust if not for shortages and supply line issues. But that will turn around in 2022 and be a big plus. The September employment data was disappointing with only 194,000 jobs created. The private sector did better adding 317,000 jobs while the public sector lost 123,000 jobs. Interestingly the unemployment rate fell to 4.8% which is the Fed's year-end target as the participation rate declined to 61.6. Hourly earnings rose 0.6% and are up 4.3% in the year through August. The Fed will most likely wait to see the next employment report before beginning tapering.</p>\n<p>The Eurozone economy has finally exceeded pre-covid levels, with most of the 20 indices that we monitor accelerating in recent weeks as cases/deaths have declined meaningfully. Shortages and supply line issues have hampered production while increasing inflationary pressures and won't ease until mid-2022. Energy costs are a real problem and may penalize growth next year. Unfortunately, OPEC opted against a big output boost lifting production by only 400,000 barrels/day, which will not be enough to limit further price increases, especially if we have a cold winter. And natural gas prices have gone through the roof, which will crimp consumer spending and hurt corporate operating margins.</p>\n<p>The global economy is improving as the number of covid cases, and deaths have peaked. Growth would even be more robust if not for shortages and supply line issues, but that will reverse as we move through 2022.</p>\n<p>Investment Conclusions</p>\n<p>Thursday, there was a massive sigh of relief when Congress agreed to extend the debt limit two months, ending the stalemate. We expect the Dems to coalesce around a roughly $2 trillion social infrastructure bill that will permit passage of the much-needed $1 trillion traditional infrastructure bill. What is a government? Fiscal policy will remain stimulative for years to come.</p>\n<p>Then we have a monetary policy. We expect the Fed to remain accommodative for a few more years. We do expect tapering to begin before year-end if the November employment report improves from the last one, but we do&nbsp;<b>not</b>&nbsp;see a rate hike until 2023, and even then, the \"real\" funds' rate will be negative, which is not restrictive at all.</p>\n<p>Shortages and supply line issues have played havoc on production and profitability for many industries/companies around the world in 2021, but this will reverse as we move through 2022, creating opportunities for investors willing to look over the valley.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that we could have a great year in 2022 if our government could get its act together. The key remains keeping the coronavirus out of the picture, so we must vaccinate all the unvaccinated.</p>\n<p>While we have not seen many changes in our portfolio over the last few months, we have concentrated on the producers that will benefit from a robust global economy and tech companies benefitting from the digitalization boom. We recently added some financials and energy companies as we expect the yield curve to steepen more than previously anticipated. Higher energy prices are immediately ahead as demand outstrips supply. Next year, the big story will be the significant increase in dividends and buybacks well above the historical trend.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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>2022 Could Be A Great Year</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\">\n2022 Could Be A Great Year\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-10 09:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4459137-2022-could-be-a-great-year><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nEconomies are reaccelerating as the number of Delta cases and death have peaked.\nWe could have a great year in 2022 if our government could get its act together.\nWe have concentrated on the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4459137-2022-could-be-a-great-year\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".DJI":"道琼斯",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4459137-2022-could-be-a-great-year","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1194780749","content_text":"Summary\n\nEconomies are reaccelerating as the number of Delta cases and death have peaked.\nWe could have a great year in 2022 if our government could get its act together.\nWe have concentrated on the producers that will benefit from a robust global economy and tech companies benefitting from the digitalization boom.\n\nEven though we are rapidly putting the delta variant in the rear-view mirror, financial markets are struggling due to a lack of leadership in D.C.

Not a bad market scenario, so use corrections as opportunities to add to your positions. So, as I've said before, invest, don't trade.\nEconomies are reaccelerating as the number of Delta cases and death have peaked. Domestic cases have declined 23% and deaths 13% over the 14 days and 17% and 14%, respectively, globally. More than 6.43 billion doses have been administered globally across 184 countries at a daily rate of 28.7 million doses per day. In the U.S., 398 million doses have been given so far at an elevated rate of 931,983 doses per day.\nWe still see over 75% of the global population vaccinated within six months and herd immunity sooner. Pfizer(NYSE:PFE)filed Thursday with the FDA its vaccine for children ages 5-11, bringing shots for all school-age children closer, which will boost the economy as parents can return to work. We expect that both Pfizer and Merck's(NYSE:MRK)filings with the FDA will be approved well before year-end. All good news!\nThe Fed is itching to start tapering, ending its extraordinary monetary support, which is no longer needed as the economy is on firm footing, and it appears that the Delta variant is subsiding. Unfortunately, Powell and the Fed have been called out for oversight over board members' trading. Two governors have already resigned, and we expect one more may leave shortly. Tapering will probably begin before year-end if the next employment report improves from September and be finished by the third quarter of 2022.\nAgain, tapering is NOT tightening, and we do not expect the Fed to start hiking the funds' rate until early 2023. The \"real\" funds' rate will be negative for some time which is NOT tightening at all. By the way, we disagree with Elizabeth Warren's criticism of Chairman Powell and hope that he is renominated next year. The bottom line is that the Fed will remain your friend for at least another 18 months. Don't fight the Fed!\nWe are so frustrated by what is happening in D.C. It is all about politics, no surprise, and not about doing what is best for this country. Why do we always have to go to the brink before action is taken? That is precisely what happened this week when the Republicans caved and offered a two-month short-term debt limit extension letting the Dems off the hook from going the route of reconciliation. It passed Thursday night. Daily negotiations continue for the massive social infrastructure program. It will be much smaller than initially proposed, closer to $2 trillion rather than $3.5 trillion. We expect the individual and corporate tax increases to be much more reasonable than initially proposed, which is a clear positive for the economy and financial markets.\nThe domestic economy is recovering from the Delta variant, which penalized growth during the summer months. The areas hit most over the summer; travel, dining, and leisure are coming back strongly, as evidenced by the recovery in the high-frequency data.\nOther recent data points include: initial jobless claims fell more than expected to 326,000; the index of consumer sentiment rose in September to 72.9, current economic conditions increased to 80.1, and consumer expectations rose to 68.1; the September Manufacturing PMI increased to 61.1, new orders to 66.7, employment up to 50.1, supplier deliveries to 73.4 and prices index increased to 81.2; the services index grew for the 15th month hitting 60.1, new orders at 63.2, employment at 53.7 and supplier deliveries at 69.6; new orders for manufactured goods increased 1.2% while shipments rose 0.1% and unfilled orders increased 1.0%; and the trade deficit widened to $73.3 billion as imports increased more rapidly than exports due to the strength of the domestic economy.\nGrowth and profitability would be even more robust if not for shortages and supply line issues. But that will turn around in 2022 and be a big plus. The September employment data was disappointing with only 194,000 jobs created. The private sector did better adding 317,000 jobs while the public sector lost 123,000 jobs. Interestingly the unemployment rate fell to 4.8% which is the Fed's year-end target as the participation rate declined to 61.6. Hourly earnings rose 0.6% and are up 4.3% in the year through August. The Fed will most likely wait to see the next employment report before beginning tapering.\nThe Eurozone economy has finally exceeded pre-covid levels, with most of the 20 indices that we monitor accelerating in recent weeks as cases/deaths have declined meaningfully. Shortages and supply line issues have hampered production while increasing inflationary pressures and won't ease until mid-2022. Energy costs are a real problem and may penalize growth next year. Unfortunately, OPEC opted against a big output boost lifting production by only 400,000 barrels/day, which will not be enough to limit further price increases, especially if we have a cold winter. And natural gas prices have gone through the roof, which will crimp consumer spending and hurt corporate operating margins.\nThe global economy is improving as the number of covid cases, and deaths have peaked. Growth would even be more robust if not for shortages and supply line issues, but that will reverse as we move through 2022.\nInvestment Conclusions\nThursday, there was a massive sigh of relief when Congress agreed to extend the debt limit two months, ending the stalemate. We expect the Dems to coalesce around a roughly $2 trillion social infrastructure bill that will permit passage of the much-needed $1 trillion traditional infrastructure bill. What is a government? Fiscal policy will remain stimulative for years to come.\nThen we have a monetary policy. We expect the Fed to remain accommodative for a few more years. We do expect tapering to begin before year-end if the November employment report improves from the last one, but we do not see a rate hike until 2023, and even then, the \"real\" funds' rate will be negative, which is not restrictive at all.\nShortages and supply line issues have played havoc on production and profitability for many industries/companies around the world in 2021, but this will reverse as we move through 2022, creating opportunities for investors willing to look over the valley.\nThe bottom line is that we could have a great year in 2022 if our government could get its act together. The key remains keeping the coronavirus out of the picture, so we must vaccinate all the unvaccinated.\nWhile we have not seen many changes in our portfolio over the last few months, we have concentrated on the producers that will benefit from a robust global economy and tech companies benefitting from the digitalization boom. We recently added some financials and energy companies as we expect the yield curve to steepen more than previously anticipated. Higher energy prices are immediately ahead as demand outstrips supply. Next year, the big story will be the significant increase in dividends and buybacks well above the historical trend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":820006223,"gmtCreate":1633320661807,"gmtModify":1633320663377,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Whatever decision they make, it will reverberate around the world.&nbsp;","listText":"Whatever decision they make, it will reverberate around the world.&nbsp;","text":"Whatever decision they make, it will reverberate around the world.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820006223","repostId":"2172313961","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2172313961","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1633304749,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2172313961?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-04 07:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Biden's agenda facing test this week as Pelosi, moderate Democrats in standoff","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2172313961","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"House speaker plans meeting with her fellow Democrats at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Monday\nCan the Democratic","content":"<p>House speaker plans meeting with her fellow Democrats at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Monday</p>\n<p>Can the Democratic-run U.S. House move along the party's big spending plans?</p>\n<p>The House is back in Washington, D.C., on Monday, returning from an August break earlier than originally planned in order to consider measures already passed by the Democratic-run Senate and touted by President Joe Biden.</p>\n<p>The Senate voted 69-30 in favor of a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill on Aug. 10, and it then had a procedural vote a day later for a $3.5 trillion package targeting social spending, climate change and other Democratic priorities that was approved 50-49, along party lines.</p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat, plans a procedural vote on Monday that would set up future passage of both measures, as she works to corral nine moderate Democratic representatives who want the $1 trillion infrastructure bill to get approved before the larger package.

For Microsoft, the pandemic throttled the growth of its enterprise-facing software businesses as large companies shut down. However, it partly offset that slowdown with the expansion of its cloud, Surface, and Xbox gaming businesses as more people worked remotely and stayed at home.</p>\n<p>But for Amazon, the pandemic boosted its online sales while generating strong demand for its cloud-based services. Its expenses surged as it spent billions of dollars on COVID-19 safety measures, but its soaring revenue easily offset that temporary pressure on its operating margins.</p>\n<p>Microsoft should generate more stable growth in a post-pandemic market than Amazon because its growth wasn't pulled forward too much.

Kulkarni said these ideas \"have a very low likelihood of occurrence, but we wouldn't assign a zero probability\" chance of then happening.\nThe \"HILP\" predictions Kulkarni has for 2022 include \"consumers [will] return to brick and mortar stores and millennials and Gen Z start watching TV.\" Kulkarni said this could result from Covid-19 vaccinations reaching mass-population levels and reaching an end to the pandemic.\nKulkarni said Facebook's(NASDAQ:FB)Meta could launch its own cryptocurrency that could start displacing several traditional fiat currencies, and that mega cap tech companies will manage to not pay any fines to U.S. or European regulators regarding legal cases currently in the works.\n\"We have stopped counting the number of lawsuits facing Big Tech,\" Kulkarni said. \"However, there is fairly limited consensus in the ideas or bills presented to date, and Congress has been focused on the pandemic and infrastructure bill for 2021.\n\nKulkarni's other Black Swan predictions are:\nSPAC IPOs will outperform traditional IPOs and direct stock listings.\nUber(NYSE:UBER)launches its own robotaxi service in several U.S. cities.\nTwitter(NYSE:TWTR)and Pinterest(NYSE:PINS)are acquired and are no longer independent public companies.\nDoorDash(NYSE:DASH)acquires Instacart for between $40B-50B and spurs a new round of grocery delivery wars.\nApple(NASDAQ:AAPL)reaches $10B in annual revenue run rate from advertising due to changes in its iOS ad policies.\nGoogle's(NASDAQ:GOOG)YouTube get in position to go public.\nSnap(NYSE:SNAP)and TikTok (BDNCE) look to capitalize on their younger audiences by acquiring movie or gaming studios so they can boost their original video content offerings.\nAs a \"bonus\" prediction, Kulkarni forecasts that as the pandemic ends, more people will go back to working out at gyms and neighborhood parks, and this will result in difficulty in forecasting sales for the likes of Peloton(NASDAQ:PTON). The home-exercise technology company also had its sails trimmed on Thursday when analysts at Citi cut their price target on Peloton's (PTON) stock to $38 a share on expectations of higher expenses and falling demand for Peloton (PTON) products next year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":765,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698174758,"gmtCreate":1640328856622,"gmtModify":1640329331131,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Final hurrah before bringing for Christmas weekend&nbsp;","listText":"Final hurrah before bringing for Christmas weekend&nbsp;","text":"Final hurrah before bringing for Christmas weekend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698174758","repostId":"2193078140","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2193078140","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":1640299360,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2193078140?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-24 06:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 hits record close as Omicron fears ebb","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2193078140","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Major indexes climb for 3rd straight session\n* Merck's at-home COVID-19 pill gets U.S. approval\n* ","content":"<p>* Major indexes climb for 3rd straight session</p>\n<p>* Merck's at-home COVID-19 pill gets U.S. approval</p>\n<p>* Weekly jobless claims unchanged at 205,000</p>\n<p>* Consumer spending increases 0.6% in November</p>\n<p>* Indexes up: Dow 0.55%, S&amp;P 0.62%, Nasdaq 0.85%</p>\n<p>Dec 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes posted solid gains for a third straight session on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 marking a record-high close, as encouraging developments gave investors more ease about the economic impact of the Omicron coronavirus variant.</p>\n<p>Stocks ended the holiday-shortened week on a positive note, lifting sentiment heading into Christmas.

There are a host of variations based on that model now, but still, those scores have certain weaknesses -- primarily because there are plenty of people who have poor credit histories or no credit history at all, but who would nonetheless be good credit risks. Fully 80% of Americans have never defaulted on a loan payment, yet fewer than half of Americans have prime credit -- meaning that as much as 30% of the populace are potentially good people to lend money to, but might get rejected by banks making their decisions solely by looking at credit scores.</p>\n<p>Upstart looks at a much bigger picture -- everything from employment history to how applicants interact with the loan application -- and takes all of this data into account, determining each consumer's creditworthiness with impressive accuracy. An internal study by Upstart showed that all other things being equal, Upstart's evaluations led to 75% fewer defaults than when relying on traditional models.</p>\n<p>Even better, the more loan decisions it makes, the more accurate Upstart's AI should get. Each borrower it recommends lending to will either pay off their loan or default. If they default, the model will learn that customers with similar traits might also be less likely to pay off loans. That steady aggregation of new data could help it adjust its decision-making and decrease its default rate as time goes on.</p>\n<p>With Upstart, the process to get a loan is becoming much easier. The company approves an average of 27% more loans than banks do using their traditional model, while applicants get on average a 16% lower interest rate. The decision process is also quick for the customer: Upstart's AI has gotten so good that it has been able to automatically approve 71% of its applications with minimal fraud risk. Among its accepted loan applications in 2020's fourth quarter, only 0.4% later proved to be fraudulent.</p>\n<h2>Innovation is leading to success</h2>\n<p>Reinventing the loan approval process has resulted in strong financial success for Upstart. The company gave its thumbs-up to 24% of the loan applications it saw in Q2 2021, reaching a transaction volume of 287,000 loans. And loan volume increased by 69% from the first quarter.</p>\n<p>Related to the increase in loan volume, Upstart's Q2 revenue grew by 1,000% year over year, and by 60% sequentially, to $194 million. Its contribution profit -- a metric similar to gross margin -- was 50% of total revenue in Q2, up from 46% in Q1 2021.</p>\n<p>Despite being a small company in terms of revenue, Upstart is profitable. Its net income for Q2 was $37 million, an improvement from its net loss of $6 million in the prior-year quarter. The company also produced free cash flow of $134 million in the first half of 2021 -- representing a free cash flow margin of 44%.</p>\n<p>It won't be surprising to see this strong growth continue. In addition to the network effects it benefits from, lending is an enormous market. Management sees a market opportunity of $635 billion in auto loan origination and an $84 billion opportunity in personal loans. It's just beginning to tap into the vehicle loan market with its recently launched Upstart Auto Retail product -- an outgrowth of the company's April acquisition of Prodigy, a provider of cloud-based software for auto sales.</p>\n<h2>Lenders are flocking to Upstart</h2>\n<p>Lenders are moving to Upstart's platform fast -- four banks have partnered with it since its Q2 report. Its customer concentration was high at the beginning of 2021, with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> lender accounting for 67% of its loan volume in 2020. That client only represented 60% of Upstart's loan volume in the first half, however. With the addition of these new banks since it reported Q2 earnings, its concentration figure will likely continue to decline.</p>\n<p>The stock is trading at 133 times free cash flow and 64 times sales. However, Upstart has been doing everything right so far in 2021: It has decreased its client concentration, expanded into a big new market, and rapidly grown its business.
