As a result, I think that there are definitely some blue-chip stocks to sell.Among the sectors likely to be hit hard are housing, some retailers, the PC space, cable TV companies and consumer electronics. With the Federal Reserve rapidly raising interest rates, the housing sector has taken a big hit, and it’s likely to tumble further in the months ahead as the central bank continues to raise rates, albeit at a slower pace. As a result, retailers whose fortunes are tied to the housing space probably won’t perform very well for the foreseeable future.Meanwhile, American consumers are spending much more money than usual on experiences, transportation and food, leaving many of them with little money to spend on discretionary products. That phenomenon is going to hurt many retailers, PC makers, companies that sell consumer electronics products, and firms that make money from cable TV.Disney (DIS)With American consumers embracing experiences, Disney’s(NYSE:DIS) American parks should do OK. However, I do still think that the company’s decision to take a controversial stance on legislation in Florida could hurt attendance at its American theme parks.Meanwhile, nearly all of its other businesses are likely to struggle. The company’s biggest profit generator is ESPN, whose revenue is based on the number of Americans who subscribe to cable. With experiences and transportation taking up much higher percentages of middle class budgets. more consumers than ever are likely to ditch cable this year.Speaking of streaming, Disney’s streaming channels are still losing money and Wall Street has fallen out of love with money-losing streaming businesses. Turning to the conglomerate’s movie business, the poor reception that its recentLightyearflickreceivedcould hurt the sales of its new movies for at least the next year or two.Finally, the likely recession in Europe and lockdowns in China will undermine the attendance at its parks in those regions.Put it all together, and DIS stock, which has tumbled 37% so far this year, probably has much further to fall.Target (TGT)Target’s(NYSE:TGT) sweet spot, in terms of customers, is upper working-class and lower middle class consumers who enjoy shopping at stores, buying discretionary products, see discounts and want better service and quality than Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and the dollar stores offer.Unfortunately for Target and TGT stock, those are exactly the consumers who are most likely to sharply reduce their discretionary spending in the current environment. Also hurting Target is the company’s failure to anticipate the “goods-to-experiences” shift. That oversight caused the company’s inventories to hit sky-high levels.As a result of that situation, the retailer will likely have to take large write downs and undermine its margins with large discounts.Add that to the sharp spending cuts by the company’s core customers  — a trend that’s likely to continue for some time — and Target’s outlook is quite poor in the near term and medium term.Williams-Sonoma (WSM)With existing home sales and building permits already sinking meaningfully, the demand for Williams-Sonoma’s (NYSE:WSM) home products, including outdoor and indoor furniture, is likely to decline further going forward. And as the Fed’s interest-rate hikes continue, the drop in the demand for housing and William-Sonoma’s offerings are likely to sink further.On June 16, Morgan Stanley identified the company as one of the “most challenged retailers,” along with RH(NYSE:RH), which recently cut its full-year guidance.“High ticket durables, which were arguably overconsumed during COVID, face the most significant reversionary risk, and we view Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and RH (RH) as the most at risk on this front,” Morgan Stanley warned.In accordance with my view, Morgan Stanley believes that Williams-Sonoma will probably be hurt by reduced demand for goods by consumers.Toll Brothers (TOL)Last month, Wells Fargo warned that,“Given the unprecedented rise in interest rates YTD, housing market softness is hitting faster than many anticipated.”As a result, the firm cut its rating on Toll Brothers(NYSE:TOL) to “equal weight” from “overweight.” Supporting Wells Fargo’s caution on homebuilders, Seeking Alpha noted that “[h]ousing starts, building permits … [slid]more than expected in May.”Indeed, U.S. housing starts plunged 14.4% in May, compared with April, while building permits dropped 7% month-over-month. Meanwhile, Redfin(NASDAQ:RDFN) reported that in May, the number of home closings tumbled 8.5% versus the same period a year earlier.While TOL stock technically trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of just 4.3x, there’s a very good chance that analysts’ average 2023 earnings-per-share estimate, upon which the ratio is based, is actually way too high.That’s because, if the company reaches the mean 2022 EPS estimate of $10.23 and the average 2023 EPS estimate of $11.27, its EPS will have increased by roughly 10% in 2023. In light of the Fed rate hikes and the slowing of the housing market, that scenario is extremely unlikely to materialize.Apple (AAPL)Taken together, iPhones and Macsaccounted for 73%of Apple’s(NASDAQ:AAPL) revenue in its quarter that ended in March. With many consumers shifting more of their budgets to experiences and transportation, there will be much less money left for purchasing new cell phones and PCs. Moreover, many consumers bought new smartphones and PCs during the pandemic, when they were focused on surfing the internet and working from home. Those individuals will not be in the market for new hardware anytime soon.As evidence of the lack of strong demand for iPhones, consider that on May 26, Reuters, citing Bloomberg, reported that “Apple Inc … plans to keep iPhone production for 2022 roughly flat at about 220 million units.” Supply issues, along with “cooling demand,” were cited as the key reasons for Apple’s decision.On the PC front, Gartner stated on June 30 that “Consumer PC demand is on pace to decline 13.1% in 2022 and will plummet much faster than business PC demand, which is expected to decline 7.2% year over year.”Despite its 18% slide this year, AAPL stock is still trading at a forwardP/E ratio of 23x and a trailing price-sales ratio of 6.4x. Those are fairly high multiples for a company whose sales and operating-profits are unlikely to grow much, if at all, this year.Dell Technologies (DELL)Obviously, Dell Technologies(NYSE:DELL), which focuses on making PCs, is going to take a sizeable hit from the drop of PC sales forecast by Gartner.Also worth noting is that, on July 5, research firm Evercore cut its rating on another PC developer, HP(NYSE:HPQ), to “in-line” from “outperform.” The firm now expects annual PC sales to sink to 300 million, versus its previous outlook of 325 million to 330 million. Evercore thinks that an easing of supply challenges going forward will be negative for PC makers. The firm cut its price target on HPQ stock to $36 from $43.Another company calling out a weaker outlook for PCsrecently was chip maker Micron(NASDAQ:MU). The firm issued a negative assessment of the space recently, citing the weakness of PCs and smartphones. Put all of these elements together and investors should expect Dell to experience weakness moving forward as well.Comcast (CMCSA)Not surprisingly, streaming’s market share hit a record level in May, according to Nielsen. Meanwhile, cable’s share stumbled a little from 36.8% in April to 36.5% in May. That trend should continue and intensify as consumers spend more money on experiences and transportation and less money on home entertainment.There are two other trends that should also negatively affect Comcast(NASDAQ:CMCSA) and CMCSA stock. First, with the work-from-home trend proving to be stickier than many believed and some businesses looking to save money, many offices could be closed, cutting into the company’s vital revenue and profits from its internet service provider business.Secondly, Snap’s (NYSE:SNAP) weak results indicate that some businesses are cutting the amount they spend on brand-recognition advertising. As a result, Comcast’s TV ad revenue could take significant hits in the coming quarter.Notably, the company’s shares have dropped about 10% since June 8, and I believe that analysts’ average EPS estimates, which call for significant increases this year and next year, are likely to drop sharply.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"DELL":0.9,"CMCSA":0.9,"WSM":0.9,"TGT":0.9,"TOL":0.9,"AAPL":0.9,"DIS":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074151429,"gmtCreate":1658322884561,"gmtModify":1676536140449,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Slowing down on 🍎?&nbsp;","listText":"Slowing down on 🍎?&nbsp;","text":"Slowing down on 🍎?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074151429","repostId":"1174897666","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174897666","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1658283668,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174897666?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-20 10:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AAPL Stock Alert: Apple Rocks Tech Stocks With Hiring Warning","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174897666","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Recent reports claim Apple(AAPL) is slowing down its hiring and spending through 2023.AAPL stock joi","content":"<div>\n<p>Recent reports claim Apple(AAPL) is slowing down its hiring and spending through 2023.AAPL stock joins an array of tech companies tightening operations in anticipation of an impending recession.Apple ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/07/aapl-stock-alert-apple-rocks-tech-stocks-with-hiring-warning/\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Tech stocks across the board are up today on the news about AAPL stock.The iPhone maker is reportedly bracing for a wider economic slowdown next year. With inflation and interest rates continuing to rise, a number of major tech operators have begun to prepare for a potential recession. Companies like Meta Platforms(NASDAQ: META), Alphabet(NASDAQ: GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Microsoft(NADSAQ: MSFT) have stated they would limit hiring ahead of growing recession rumors.Apple may be acting in response to International Business Machines’(NYSE: IBM) recent earnings call. The tech company lowered its free cash flow outlook this year to reflect suspending operations in Russia. Otherwise, IBM had a relatively successful quarter, benchmarked by strong sales growth. CEO Arvind Krishna told Barron’s IBM maintains its long-term outlook of $35 billion in free cash flow through 2024.Despite the contractionary news, Apple and friends are doing pretty well today. AAPL stock is up 2.67%, as the S&P 500 and tech-centric Nasdaq eye 2.76% and 3.11% jumps, respectively. Meanwhile, Meta and Alphabet stocks are up more than 4% today.What else is going on with Apple lately?AAPL Stock Climbs on Hiring Slowdown, Keyboard SettlementAdding to the slate of Apple news, the tech giant recently agreed to pay $50 million to settle a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled customers. The lawsuit claims Apple knowingly concealed the fact that its MacBook laptop keyboards were prone to error, costing its customers millions in repair fees. Apple filed the preliminary settlement Monday night in San Jose, California and denied any wrongdoing. The filing is still pending a judge’s approval.As per the suit, Apple MacBooks sold between 2015 and 2019 in seven U.S. states suffer from sometimes debilitating keyboard failures. The keyboards frequently become difficult to operate with just small amounts of dust or debris. This results in sticky or otherwise unresponsive keys for many customers.As per the settlement, customers who fall under the suit are entitled to payouts between roughly $50 and $395, depending on how many times they replaced keyboards or keycaps.Despite the string of bad press, Apple is enjoying a strong day in the market following Monday’s 2.1% loss.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2409,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074151307,"gmtCreate":1658322816210,"gmtModify":1676536140441,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Intel losing steam to others?&nbsp;","listText":"Intel losing steam to others?&nbsp;","text":"Intel losing steam to others?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074151307","repostId":"2252174241","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2252174241","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1658300985,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2252174241?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-20 15:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Semiconductor Stock: Intel vs. Micron","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2252174241","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Which chipmaking giant is the better all-around investment?","content":"<div>\n<p>Intel and Micron Technology are two of the most important chipmakers in the world.

Intel is the largest producer of x86 CPUs for PCs and data centers, and Micron is one of the top suppliers of DRAM and NAND memory chips.However, investors dumped both stocks this year amid the broader sell-off across the semiconductor sector. Intel shed about a quarter of its value as Micron's stock lost roughly a third of its value. Should investors bet on either of these beaten-down chip stocks as a turnaround play?Image source: Getty Images.The differences between Intel and MicronIntel and Micron both manufacture their own chips. Intel still leads the PC and data center CPU markets, but its first-party foundries have fallen behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, the world's largest contract chipmaker, in the process race to develop smaller, denser, and more power-efficient chips. As a result, its fabless rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which outsources its manufacturing to TSMC, now produces more power-efficient chips than Intel.Micron isn't the world's largest producer of DRAM or NAND chips. That title belongs to the South Korean tech giant Samsung. However, Micron's 1α (1-alpha) DRAM chips and 176-layer NAND chips for data centers are still the most advanced memory chips in their respective markets.Intel also sells NAND memory chips, but it's in the process of selling that smaller business division to the South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix. That entire sale, which will occur in phases, is expected to close in March 2025. Until that happens, Intel will exclude its NAND business from its non-GAAP (adjusted) revenues and profits.Intel and Micron both operate in cyclical markets. However, Intel's core PC and data center CPU markets are arguably more stable than Micron's DRAM and NAND markets, which are prone to cyclical shortages, supply gluts, and price swings.Intel faces existential challengesIntel's non-GAAP revenue increased 8% in 2020, then grew 2% to $74.7 billion in 2021. Its growth decelerated as the PC and data center markets cooled off in a post-lockdown market, and it continued to struggle to hold AMD at bay across the laptop, desktop, and server markets.As Intel struggled with those headwinds, its non-GAAP gross margin declined from 60.1% in 2019 to 57.7% in 2021. Its earnings per share (EPS) grew just 9% in 2020 and 7% in 2021.Under its former CEO Bob Swan, Intel briefly considered becoming a fabless chipmaker like AMD. Swan's successor, Pat Gelsinger, swiftly abandoned that idea when he took over in early 2021 and doubled down on the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities to catch up to TSMC instead.However, Intel's capital expenditures target of $27 billion for 2022 is still much lower than TSMC's estimated capex of about $40 billion this year, so it will likely need to rely heavily on government subsidies -- such as the CHIPS Act in the U.S. -- to close that funding gap. Analysts expect its revenue to stay flat this year and for its earnings to decline 37% as it grapples with those challenges.Micron faces a cyclical slowdownMicron's revenue surged 29% in fiscal 2021, which ended last September, and rose 24% year over year to $24.1 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. That growth was driven by robust demand for new memory chips across the PC, data center, cloud, auto, and industry 4.0 markets.However, Micron expects its revenue to decline 13% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2022 as the PC and smartphone markets cool off. That forecast implies its revenue will only rise about 13% for the full year. For fiscal 2023, analysts expect its revenue to decline 7% to $29.1 billion.Micron and its peers are curbing their production to avoid causing a severe supply glut (like the one which sank the market in 2019 and 2020), but it will be tough to avoid a hard landing as the market's appetite for new chips wanes.Micron's non-GAAP gross margin jumped from 31.3% in fiscal 2020 to 39.7% in fiscal 2021, then expanded to 47.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Its non-GAAP EPS also soared 114% in fiscal 2021, and analysts anticipate another 41% growth in fiscal 2022 as it closes out its current growth cycle. But next year, they're bracing for a 25% decline as it exhausts its pricing power.Micron would also benefit from the passage of the CHIPS Act and other government support measures, but it remains a technological leader and isn't starved for subsidies like Intel.Both stocks look cheap, but only one is a value playIntel trades at 11 times forward earnings, while Micron has an even lower forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9. Intel pays a forward dividend yield of 3.8%, but it might need to reduce that payout to fund its ambitious manufacturing plans. Micron pays a much lower forward yield of 0.8%.Both stocks are cheap -- but Intel's existential challenges make it a weaker play than Micron, which merely faces a cyclical slowdown. Therefore, I believe Micron remains a much better buy than Intel.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"INTC":1,"MU":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2258,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074153767,"gmtCreate":1658322743559,"gmtModify":1676536140433,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go&nbsp;🍎 !","listText":"Go&nbsp;🍎 !","text":"Go 🍎 !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074153767","repostId":"1131552255","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131552255","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1658318267,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1131552255?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-20 19:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s China Shipments Surged in June After Lockdowns Lifted","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131552255","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Foreign brands accounted for entirety of rebound in demandDomestic phone makers have underwhelmed ex","content":"<div>\n<p>Foreign brands accounted for entirety of rebound in demandDomestic phone makers have underwhelmed expectations this yearApple iPhonesPhotographer: Feline Lim/Getty ImagescApple Inc.’s iPhone shipments...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-20/apple-s-china-shipments-surged-in-june-after-lockdowns-lifted?srnd=technology-vp\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Samsung no longer commands a significant share of the country’s smartphone market whereas Apple is the fourth-largest player, suggesting the bulk of the rebound in demand was for iPhones. The US company will provide details on its Chinese business when it reports earnings later this month.Chinese smartphone makers have struggled to stir excitement for their handsets this year, hurt by rising costs and souring consumer sentiment. Sony Group Corp. warned at the start of the year that its sales of premium phone camera sensors to Chinese customers came in lower than expected and device shipments have matched that downward trend. Research firm Canalyssaidthis week that all the Chinese smartphone powerhouses saw declines in their global second-quarter shipments.This past June saw 24.5 million mobile phones shipped by domestic firms, down from 24.6 million the prior year. International companies, on the other hand, went from 1.1 million units to 3.5 million, figures from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology showed. The data includes feature phones.The rekindled consumer interest comes after the lifting of Covid lockdowns in major hubs Shanghai and Beijing, and may have gotten a boost from the annual “618” sales and discounts event hosted by online retailers like Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and JD.com Inc.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2404,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074153372,"gmtCreate":1658322668696,"gmtModify":1676536140433,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy call on 🍎?

width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Netflix Media Centre</span></p><p>As an investor that has a more than 70% concentration of my portfolio in technology stocks, this year hasn’t been all roses and sunshine for me.</p><p>Just a few weeks ago, the S&amp;P 500 Index entered a bear market after closing more than 22% below its all time high of 4,818.62 on 4 January 2022.</p><p>From the Russia-Ukraine war and COVID-related lockdowns in China that disrupted supply chains to the biggest interest rate hike since 1994, the blows just keep landing.</p><p>The worst mistake any investor can make is to sell their shares in panic when nothing is fundamentally wrong with the business.</p><p>We will now take a closer look at five technology companies within my portfolio.</p><p><b>Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM)</b></p><p>Zoom Video Communications, or Zoom, is a secure and reliable video communications platform that became a verb during the peak of the pandemic due to its popularity.</p><p>Its share price has fallen a long way since the all time high of US$588.84 on 19 October 2020.</p><p>As of 12th July, Zoom’s share price has fallen 41% year to date.</p><p>In its fiscal first quarter 2023 (1Q2023), revenue rose by 12% year on year to US$1.1 billion.</p><p>Zoom has seen momentum in Enterprise customers’ growth, with Enterprise revenue rising by 31% year on year to US$560 million during the quarter.</p><p>A closely-watched metric is Enterprise customers as it indicates the company’s efforts on growing the customer segment that contributes the bulk of its revenue.</p><p>The total number of Enterprise customers that contributed more than US$100,000 in annual billings grew 46% year on year to 2,916.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07192b5a5136e154860d452b0e26ccb2\" tg-width=\"532\" tg-height=\"906\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Zoom, 1Q2023 earnings deck, &gt;US$100k customers breakdown</span></p><p>For the coming quarters, a key aspect to watch will be how Zoom sells through other product offerings such as Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Phone, Zoom Whiteboard, and Zoom IQ for sales teams.</p><p><b>Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA)</b></p><p>Tesla is one of the world’s largest all-electric vehicle companies through the sale of cars, pickup trucks in the United States, China, and other countries around the world.</p><p>Differing from most of the other automotive manufacturers that sell through franchised dealerships, Tesla sells its cars direct to consumers.</p><p>This prevents any potential conflicts of interests which may arise as Tesla owns the showrooms and customers deal only with its staff.</p><p>Tesla also sells directly through the internet to consumers where a Tesla can be customised online.</p><p>In 1Q2022, Tesla reported an 81% year on year growth in total revenue to US$18.7 billion, and net income rose more than seven-fold to US$3.3 billion.</p><p>This growth was largely attributable to increased vehicle deliveries, which grew 68% year on year to 310,048 in 1Q2022.</p><p>Tesla also cited increased average selling price as one of the factors contributing to the increased revenue seen, which suggests to me they have strong pricing power.</p><p>On 2 July, Tesla released its 2Q2022’s vehicle production and delivery numbers of (Production: 258,580, Deliveries: 254,695), which caused a temporary sell off as investors started to compare it with the production and delivery numbers seen in 1Q2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07136f60994c0e93ada5ea9ed5fa0426\" tg-width=\"1018\" tg-height=\"632\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Tesla, 1Q2022 update, 2Q2022 production and delivery update</span></p><p>Although it seems that there is a 17.9% decline in vehicle delivery numbers between 1Q2022 and 2Q2022, investors should note that the delivery numbers are still 26.5% higher than that of 2Q2021.</p><p>With its commitment to achieve 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries, and seeing what increased delivery numbers mean for its revenue and net income, I remain a patient investor in Tesla.</p><p>Tesla’s full set of 2Q2022 numbers will be announced on 20th July, after the US market closes.</p><p><b>Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX)</b></p><p>Netflix is one of the world’s largest streaming media and entertainment services companies, with 222 million paid memberships in over 190 countries.</p><p>Netflix surged to dominance similarly during the COVID-19 period when most countries were on lockdown.</p><p>Over the years, it has consistently produced great content that hooked viewers, with popular TV series Stranger Things, Squid Game and Money Heist etc.</p><p>With the current bear market and tech sell off that we witnessed not too long ago, the stock has also fallen 70.8% year to date (12 July 2022’s closing price).</p><p>Netflix’s 1Q2022 revenue rose 9.8% year on year to US$7.9 billion, while net income for the same period declined 6.8% year on year to US$1.6 billion.</p><p>In its 1Q2022 earnings call, Netflix reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers compared with its previous quarter and mentioned that it is guiding for a two million loss in subscribers for its second quarter.</p><p>Although the market didn’t react well to this news, there is justification for this guidance and the plans that Netflix has laid out seemed fair.</p><p>Netflix is looking to introduce more controls to prevent password sharing outside the household.</p><p>More than 100 million households are piggy backing on other paid subscribers</p><p>These free loaders are active users as well, so it is reasonable for Netflix to levy an introductory charge on this base of customers.</p><p>Such a move, if successful, could open up an additional revenue stream for the streaming giant.</p><p>To combat the fierce competition from the likes of <b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE: DIS) and <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ: AMZN), Netflix is looking to offer lower-cost plans with advertising.</p><p>This is a win-win model that would not only attract and retain budget-constrained subscribers, but also introduce new revenue streams for the company.</p><p><b>DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU)</b></p><p>DocuSign is an e-signature platform provider that enables organisations to automate, sign, and manage agreements electronically across practically any smart device.</p><p>It is the world’s number one e-signature solution with a strong base of 1.24 million customers.</p><p>For its 1Q2023 ended 30 April 2022, DocuSign reported revenue growth of 25% year on year to US$589 million.</p><p>Gross margin was 81%, with operating margin 17% for 1Q2023.</p><p>Alongside these strong margins, DocuSign also commands a high net dollar retention rate of 114%.</p><p>DocuSign spooked the market when it announced weak guidance for 2Q2023’s billings, between the range of US$599 million to US$609 million.</p><p>The market felt that this forecasted increase, even at the top end of its range, was only 2.3% higher than 2Q2022’s US$595.4 million.</p><p>That said, looking at the explosive growth in its total customer base, which has a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% from FY2013 to 1Q2023, monetisation opportunities are still plenty for DocuSign.</p><p>In addition, its strength in gaining enterprise customers that spend more than US$300,000 a year, also saw a CAGR of 44% from FY2013 to 886 in 1Q2023.</p><p

Here is a mid-year review of my five largest tech stocks.Source: Netflix Media CentreAs an investor that has a more than 70% concentration of my portfolio in technology stocks, this year hasn’t been all roses and sunshine for me.Just a few weeks ago, the S&P 500 Index entered a bear market after closing more than 22% below its all time high of 4,818.62 on 4 January 2022.From the Russia-Ukraine war and COVID-related lockdowns in China that disrupted supply chains to the biggest interest rate hike since 1994, the blows just keep landing.The worst mistake any investor can make is to sell their shares in panic when nothing is fundamentally wrong with the business.We will now take a closer look at five technology companies within my portfolio.Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM)Zoom Video Communications, or Zoom, is a secure and reliable video communications platform that became a verb during the peak of the pandemic due to its popularity.Its share price has fallen a long way since the all time high of US$588.84 on 19 October 2020.As of 12th July, Zoom’s share price has fallen 41% year to date.In its fiscal first quarter 2023 (1Q2023), revenue rose by 12% year on year to US$1.1 billion.Zoom has seen momentum in Enterprise customers’ growth, with Enterprise revenue rising by 31% year on year to US$560 million during the quarter.A closely-watched metric is Enterprise customers as it indicates the company’s efforts on growing the customer segment that contributes the bulk of its revenue.The total number of Enterprise customers that contributed more than US$100,000 in annual billings grew 46% year on year to 2,916.Source: Zoom, 1Q2023 earnings deck, >US$100k customers breakdownFor the coming quarters, a key aspect to watch will be how Zoom sells through other product offerings such as Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Phone, Zoom Whiteboard, and Zoom IQ for sales teams.Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA)Tesla is one of the world’s largest all-electric vehicle companies through the sale of cars, pickup trucks in the United States, China, and other countries around the world.Differing from most of the other automotive manufacturers that sell through franchised dealerships, Tesla sells its cars direct to consumers.This prevents any potential conflicts of interests which may arise as Tesla owns the showrooms and customers deal only with its staff.Tesla also sells directly through the internet to consumers where a Tesla can be customised online.In 1Q2022, Tesla reported an 81% year on year growth in total revenue to US$18.7 billion, and net income rose more than seven-fold to US$3.3 billion.This growth was largely attributable to increased vehicle deliveries, which grew 68% year on year to 310,048 in 1Q2022.Tesla also cited increased average selling price as one of the factors contributing to the increased revenue seen, which suggests to me they have strong pricing power.On 2 July, Tesla released its 2Q2022’s vehicle production and delivery numbers of (Production: 258,580, Deliveries: 254,695), which caused a temporary sell off as investors started to compare it with the production and delivery numbers seen in 1Q2022.Source: Tesla, 1Q2022 update, 2Q2022 production and delivery updateAlthough it seems that there is a 17.9% decline in vehicle delivery numbers between 1Q2022 and 2Q2022, investors should note that the delivery numbers are still 26.5% higher than that of 2Q2021.With its commitment to achieve 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries, and seeing what increased delivery numbers mean for its revenue and net income, I remain a patient investor in Tesla.Tesla’s full set of 2Q2022 numbers will be announced on 20th July, after the US market closes.Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX)Netflix is one of the world’s largest streaming media and entertainment services companies, with 222 million paid memberships in over 190 countries.Netflix surged to dominance similarly during the COVID-19 period when most countries were on lockdown.Over the years, it has consistently produced great content that hooked viewers, with popular TV series Stranger Things, Squid Game and Money Heist etc.With the current bear market and tech sell off that we witnessed not too long ago, the stock has also fallen 70.8% year to date (12 July 2022’s closing price).Netflix’s 1Q2022 revenue rose 9.8% year on year to US$7.9 billion, while net income for the same period declined 6.8% year on year to US$1.6 billion.In its 1Q2022 earnings call, Netflix reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers compared with its previous quarter and mentioned that it is guiding for a two million loss in subscribers for its second quarter.Although the market didn’t react well to this news, there is justification for this guidance and the plans that Netflix has laid out seemed fair.Netflix is looking to introduce more controls to prevent password sharing outside the household.More than 100 million households are piggy backing on other paid subscribersThese free loaders are active users as well, so it is reasonable for Netflix to levy an introductory charge on this base of customers.Such a move, if successful, could open up an additional revenue stream for the streaming giant.To combat the fierce competition from the likes of Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Netflix is looking to offer lower-cost plans with advertising.This is a win-win model that would not only attract and retain budget-constrained subscribers, but also introduce new revenue streams for the company.DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU)DocuSign is an e-signature platform provider that enables organisations to automate, sign, and manage agreements electronically across practically any smart device.It is the world’s number one e-signature solution with a strong base of 1.24 million customers.For its 1Q2023 ended 30 April 2022, DocuSign reported revenue growth of 25% year on year to US$589 million.Gross margin was 81%, with operating margin 17% for 1Q2023.Alongside these strong margins, DocuSign also commands a high net dollar retention rate of 114%.DocuSign spooked the market when it announced weak guidance for 2Q2023’s billings, between the range of US$599 million to US$609 million.The market felt that this forecasted increase, even at the top end of its range, was only 2.3% higher than 2Q2022’s US$595.4 million.That said, looking at the explosive growth in its total customer base, which has a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% from FY2013 to 1Q2023, monetisation opportunities are still plenty for DocuSign.In addition, its strength in gaining enterprise customers that spend more than US$300,000 a year, also saw a CAGR of 44% from FY2013 to 886 in 1Q2023.Source: DocuSign, 1Q2023 earnings release, customer base breakdownLast but not least, the strategic partnership that DocuSign announced with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MFST), which will see integration of cross products, means there will be extra momentum that will come from the Enterprise segment.Apple (NASDAQ: APPL)Apple is a company that needs no further introduction. It changed the entire era of smartphones and is now one of the most valuable brands in the world.It is also the largest contributor to the S&P 500 index.Apple has a strong base of loyal customers and has, over years, created a strong and interlinked ecosystem of products and services on the back of the success of the iPhone.In its 2Q2022 earnings, we saw how Apple outperformed analysts’ expectations by reporting revenue of US$97.3 billion, above the US$94 billion that was forecasted.As the COVID-related supply chain woes in China ease, Apple will benefit from the effect in the next few quarters.As an investor, Apple’s main draw is the ability to innovate and cross sell its other services and products together directly to a strong and loyal customer base.Although word on the street is pointing at Apple’s possible release of a virtual reality headset, what is certain is that when Apple launches it, this will likely be tied in with services revenue.Services Revenue was Apple’s fastest growing segment as of 2Q2022 (+17% year on year), with revenue of US$19.8 billion.Final ThoughtsAlthough most of the stocks above did fall from a high, a closer look at each stock provides assurance that the business behind each company is doing fine.It is hard not to feel affected when the same stocks were registering more than 100% gains, but as a long term investor, I’m in for the long term, and I’ll likely strategically add on to these positions whenever there’s a chance.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"DOCU":0.9,"AAPL":0.9,"NFLX":0.9,"ZM":0.9,"TSLA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":816,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076443373,"gmtCreate":1657896287192,"gmtModify":1676536078745,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very insightful 🙌","listText":"Very insightful 🙌","text":"Very insightful 🙌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076443373","repostId":"1174191896","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174191896","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657776259,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174191896?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-14 13:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Vs. Google: There's A Clear Winner","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174191896","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryApple and Google are both wide moat stocks with high margins and strong growth.They are simil","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Apple and Google are both wide moat stocks with high margins and strong growth.</li><li>They are similar in many ways, but Google is currently cheaper.</li><li>On the other hand, Apple has higher brand loyalty.</li><li>In this article, I analyze Apple and Google side by side to see which is better.</li></ul><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOG\">Alphabet</a> are two of America’s biggest tech giants. One has a fanatical fan base andextreme brand loyalty, the other is themostubiquitous companyin the world. There’s a strong case to be made for owning both of them, and this author, at least, does.</p><p>However, it is worth exploring which of these two stocks is the better buy. First, it’s valuable as an intellectual exercise. Second, it can help you with position sizing. It’s easy enough to say “Apple and Google are both great companies,” it’s a different matter entirely to say how they should be weighted in your portfolio.</p><p>You can always just buy AAPL and GOOG via the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QQQ\">Invesco QQQ Trust</a>, and enjoy both stocks at their market cap weightings. However, Google has historicallyhad stronger growththanApple, and if that continues, then those who overweight GOOG today will be rewarded.</p><p>So, between Apple and Google, which is the better buy?</p><p>There are many different opinions on this. Warren Buffett owns Apple but not Google, which implies he likes the former better. However, Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that GOOG was a great stock that he and Buffett had “missed.” Li Lu, another top value investor, holds Google in addition to Apple.</p><p>As for me personally, I have Google at a higher portfolio weighting than Apple. I think they’re both great companies, but Google was much cheaper than Apple when I started buying the two stocks, despite having better growth. Google’s earnings growth is technically negative due to it owning a stock portfolio during a bear market, but its free cash flow growth is better than Apple’s. I think that Google will outgrow Apple for the foreseeable future, so I see its stock as a somewhat better buy.</p><h3>Competitive Landscape</h3><p>When comparing Apple and Google, we need to look at the competitive landscape they operate in. Both companies are giants in the tech sector, and they offer similar products, including:</p><ul><ul><li></li><li>Smartphone operating systems.</li><li></li><li>App stores.</li><li></li><li>Hardware.</li></ul></ul><p>Generally speaking, Apple is ahead of Google on hardware, but Google is ahead of Apple on software. In 2021, Apple sold240 million iPhones, Google’s Pixel 6 reportedly didn’t sell wellthat year. However, Google’s software has acombined 4.3 billion users, while Apple has1.65 billiontotal users. So, Google software has more reach than Apple’s combined hardware/software ecosystem does. Additionally, Android has about 75% of the smartphone market worldwide, while IOS has 25%.</p><p>The matter is more complicated when we look at revenue. Apple and Google both take revenue cuts from developers on their app stores, and the Apple app store generates way more sales than the Google Play store. In the first quarter, the app store did $21.8 billion in sales, while the play store did $10.7 billion. Android has more installs than IOS, but IOS users, who trend wealthier than average, are more willing to spend money on apps compared to Android users.</p><p>A few other items of note about the competition between Apple and Google:</p><ul><ul><li></li><li>Apple has an ecosystem of apps and hardware which integrate with each other, helping the company collect more revenue per customer.</li><li></li><li>Google also has apps that can work across different devices to create an ecosystem, but because Google software runs mostly on third party hardware, Google doesn’t achieve the full sweep of sales that Apple does (hardware + app downloads + services).</li><li></li><li>Apple and Google also compete in smart watches, a market where Apple has the greatest share out of all manufacturers.</li></ul></ul><p>In addition to the competition between Apple and Google, there are also areas where the two are aligned. Chiefly, in advertising. Google pays Apple$15 billion a yearto be the default IOS search engine. So, both Apple and Google make money off of the success of Google’s advertising platforms. This gives the two companies an edge compared to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a>, which is currently losing$10 billion a yearin revenue to Apple’srecent privacy changes.</p><h3>Comparative Valuation</h3><p>When we look at Apple and Google side by side, we can see clearly that they are both incredibly well positioned in the tech industry. It’s very difficult to say which of the two is better positioned. They both control mobile platforms, which make them less vulnerable to competitors than Meta, <b>Snap</b>(SNAP) and others. As for the comparison between Apple and Google: that’s less clear, because their structural advantages are very similar.</p><p>In order to break the tie between Apple and Google, then, we’ll have to do a comparative valuation. Assuming both companies are equally entrenched in the market, then the one that’s cheaper relative to intrinsic value is the better buy.</p><p>First though, we need to look at both companies’ trailing 12-month (“TTM”) financials side by side.</p><h3>Financials</h3><p>In the table below, I have presented some TTM financials for Apple and Google, courtesy of Seeking Alpha Quant:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df6ddfcce9f1672db46d9aecca3ff169\" tg-width=\"848\" tg-height=\"566\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Using the table above, some key ratios for the two companies can be calculated as follows:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d405e8d59435b7e246742a416c516de\" tg-width=\"823\" tg-height=\"338\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>As you can see, Apple takes the cake on 2 out of 3 profitability ratios, but Google has better debt to equity and current ratios. These data seem to suggest that Apple is more profitable, while Google has the better balance sheet. We can confirm my profitability analysis by looking at Seeking Alpha Quant&#39;s ratios:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46f7e66ffa0a24e70076b788d7c34db9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"914\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ded8e928d6a71cc356992117037ba88\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"947\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>GOOG profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)</span></p><p>The numbers from Seeking Alpha Quant differ from mine slightly, but basically agree that Apple and Google have similar profitability ratios. Apple has a vastly superior return on equity, though--near&#39;s five times Google&#39;s. Given the closeness of all the metrics apart from ROE and ROA, those can serve as tie breakers, giving Apple the win on profitability.</p><p>The balance sheet comparison isn&#39;t close. Apple&#39;s debt to equity ratio is 30 times higher than Google&#39;s, while its current ratio is only a third of Google&#39;s. These data suggest that Google is more liquid, and more solvent, than Apple. Below I&#39;ve compiled some third-party ratios by MacroTrends, which agree with my analysis that Google has fewer liabilities relative to assets, both long term and current, compared to Apple.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a908a9a1fd9294691b9169408a1b189\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"83\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The tables above clearly show that Google&#39;s liquidity ratios are higher than Apple&#39;s, and its debt ratios lower--this suggests higher liquidity and solvency.</p><h3>Valuation</h3><p>Armed with Apple and Google&#39;s financials, we can now move on to valuation. So far, our comparison basically favors Google: it has a much better balance sheet than Apple does. But which stock is a better value?</p><p>According to Seeking Alpha Quant, some key valuation metrics for Apple and Google include:</p><p>For a more forward-looking valuation, we can do a DCF model. Assuming an 8% discount rate, a 0% perpetual growth rate, and using 5-year historical FCF growth rates for both stocks, my DCF model yielded these fair values:</p><ul><li>Google: $2,702.</li><li>Apple: $171.</li></ul><p>Both get valuations above their current prices, but Google&#39;s upside (20%) is higher than Apple&#39;s (17.9%).</p><p>When we factor in both multiples and discounted cash flows, there’s no question:</p><p><i>Google wins on valuation.</i></p><p>All of the multiples are much lower for Google than for Apple, and Google&#39;s fair value is higher. Additionally, Google has much higher historical revenue growth than Apple does. In the last 12 months, Googlegrew revenue at 37%, Apple atonly 18.6%. In the most recent quarter, Google reported an earnings decline, whereas Apple’s earnings grew. However, Google’s earnings decline was mainly due to having stocks on its balance sheet. GAAP accounting rules require companies to count stock price fluctuations as part of earnings, which results in losses when stocks go down. It does not, however, reflect operating performance: Google’soperating cash flowgrew 9% in Q1.</p><p>Conclusion: Google is the Better Long-Term Value</p><p>Having considered competitive, financial and valuation factors, I conclude that Google is a better value than Apple at today’s prices. To recap the results of each section of my analysis:</p><ul><li><p>Competitive position: tie.</p></li><li><p>Profitability: slight win by Apple.</p></li><li><p>Balance sheet: huge win by Google.</p></li><li><p>Valuation: huge win by Google.</p></li><li><p>Growth: small win by Google.</p></li></ul><p>Out of the five factors I’ve looked at, Google wins on three, Apple wins on one, and one is a tie. The former stock has more things going for it than the latter does. For this reason, I have Google overweighted in my portfolio relative to Apple.</p><h3>Risks and Challenges</h3><p>While my analysis shows that Google has more advantages over Apple than vice versa, I am heavily relying on quantifiable factors here. There’s a plausible case to be made that Apple beats Google on “soft” factors, such as marketing and branding. Everybody knows AAPL has a great brand - how much is it worth exactly? It’s hard to say. Brand recognition gives companies pricing power, and Apple has a lot more of that than Google does. It is possible that, over time, Apple’s brand power will prevail over Google’s ubiquity. There is no way to fit that possibility into a quantitative model, but it exists.</p><p>There’s also the possibility of short-term volatility in Google after this month’s earnings release. Both Apple and Google are releasing earnings in a few weeks, and Google is vulnerable due to its equity investments. When equities decline in price, their “losses” take a bite out of earnings for companies that hold them. This factor will work against Google in the upcoming release, as itholds positionsin struggling stocks like <b>UiPath</b>(PATH).</p><p>There are also risks to investors choosing to go long both of these stocks.

One has a fanatical fan base andextreme brand loyalty, the other is themostubiquitous companyin the world. There’s a strong case to be made for owning both of them, and this author, at least, does.However, it is worth exploring which of these two stocks is the better buy. First, it’s valuable as an intellectual exercise. Second, it can help you with position sizing. It’s easy enough to say “Apple and Google are both great companies,” it’s a different matter entirely to say how they should be weighted in your portfolio.You can always just buy AAPL and GOOG via the Invesco QQQ Trust, and enjoy both stocks at their market cap weightings. However, Google has historicallyhad stronger growththanApple, and if that continues, then those who overweight GOOG today will be rewarded.So, between Apple and Google, which is the better buy?There are many different opinions on this. Warren Buffett owns Apple but not Google, which implies he likes the former better. However, Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that GOOG was a great stock that he and Buffett had “missed.” Li Lu, another top value investor, holds Google in addition to Apple.As for me personally, I have Google at a higher portfolio weighting than Apple. I think they’re both great companies, but Google was much cheaper than Apple when I started buying the two stocks, despite having better growth. Google’s earnings growth is technically negative due to it owning a stock portfolio during a bear market, but its free cash flow growth is better than Apple’s. I think that Google will outgrow Apple for the foreseeable future, so I see its stock as a somewhat better buy.Competitive LandscapeWhen comparing Apple and Google, we need to look at the competitive landscape they operate in. Both companies are giants in the tech sector, and they offer similar products, including:Smartphone operating systems.App stores.Hardware.Generally speaking, Apple is ahead of Google on hardware, but Google is ahead of Apple on software. In 2021, Apple sold240 million iPhones, Google’s Pixel 6 reportedly didn’t sell wellthat year. However, Google’s software has acombined 4.3 billion users, while Apple has1.65 billiontotal users. So, Google software has more reach than Apple’s combined hardware/software ecosystem does. Additionally, Android has about 75% of the smartphone market worldwide, while IOS has 25%.The matter is more complicated when we look at revenue. Apple and Google both take revenue cuts from developers on their app stores, and the Apple app store generates way more sales than the Google Play store. In the first quarter, the app store did $21.8 billion in sales, while the play store did $10.7 billion. Android has more installs than IOS, but IOS users, who trend wealthier than average, are more willing to spend money on apps compared to Android users.A few other items of note about the competition between Apple and Google:Apple has an ecosystem of apps and hardware which integrate with each other, helping the company collect more revenue per customer.Google also has apps that can work across different devices to create an ecosystem, but because Google software runs mostly on third party hardware, Google doesn’t achieve the full sweep of sales that Apple does (hardware + app downloads + services).Apple and Google also compete in smart watches, a market where Apple has the greatest share out of all manufacturers.In addition to the competition between Apple and Google, there are also areas where the two are aligned. Chiefly, in advertising. Google pays Apple$15 billion a yearto be the default IOS search engine. So, both Apple and Google make money off of the success of Google’s advertising platforms. This gives the two companies an edge compared to Meta Platforms, which is currently losing$10 billion a yearin revenue to Apple’srecent privacy changes.Comparative ValuationWhen we look at Apple and Google side by side, we can see clearly that they are both incredibly well positioned in the tech industry. It’s very difficult to say which of the two is better positioned. They both control mobile platforms, which make them less vulnerable to competitors than Meta, Snap(SNAP) and others. As for the comparison between Apple and Google: that’s less clear, because their structural advantages are very similar.In order to break the tie between Apple and Google, then, we’ll have to do a comparative valuation. Assuming both companies are equally entrenched in the market, then the one that’s cheaper relative to intrinsic value is the better buy.First though, we need to look at both companies’ trailing 12-month (“TTM”) financials side by side.FinancialsIn the table below, I have presented some TTM financials for Apple and Google, courtesy of Seeking Alpha Quant:Using the table above, some key ratios for the two companies can be calculated as follows:As you can see, Apple takes the cake on 2 out of 3 profitability ratios, but Google has better debt to equity and current ratios. These data seem to suggest that Apple is more profitable, while Google has the better balance sheet. We can confirm my profitability analysis by looking at Seeking Alpha Quant's ratios:AAPL profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)GOOG profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)The numbers from Seeking Alpha Quant differ from mine slightly, but basically agree that Apple and Google have similar profitability ratios. Apple has a vastly superior return on equity, though--near's five times Google's. Given the closeness of all the metrics apart from ROE and ROA, those can serve as tie breakers, giving Apple the win on profitability.The balance sheet comparison isn't close. Apple's debt to equity ratio is 30 times higher than Google's, while its current ratio is only a third of Google's. These data suggest that Google is more liquid, and more solvent, than Apple. Below I've compiled some third-party ratios by MacroTrends, which agree with my analysis that Google has fewer liabilities relative to assets, both long term and current, compared to Apple.The tables above clearly show that Google's liquidity ratios are higher than Apple's, and its debt ratios lower--this suggests higher liquidity and solvency.ValuationArmed with Apple and Google's financials, we can now move on to valuation. So far, our comparison basically favors Google: it has a much better balance sheet than Apple does. But which stock is a better value?According to Seeking Alpha Quant, some key valuation metrics for Apple and Google include:For a more forward-looking valuation, we can do a DCF model. Assuming an 8% discount rate, a 0% perpetual growth rate, and using 5-year historical FCF growth rates for both stocks, my DCF model yielded these fair values:Google: $2,702.Apple: $171.Both get valuations above their current prices, but Google's upside (20%) is higher than Apple's (17.9%).When we factor in both multiples and discounted cash flows, there’s no question:Google wins on valuation.All of the multiples are much lower for Google than for Apple, and Google's fair value is higher. Additionally, Google has much higher historical revenue growth than Apple does. In the last 12 months, Googlegrew revenue at 37%, Apple atonly 18.6%. In the most recent quarter, Google reported an earnings decline, whereas Apple’s earnings grew. However, Google’s earnings decline was mainly due to having stocks on its balance sheet. GAAP accounting rules require companies to count stock price fluctuations as part of earnings, which results in losses when stocks go down. It does not, however, reflect operating performance: Google’soperating cash flowgrew 9% in Q1.Conclusion: Google is the Better Long-Term ValueHaving considered competitive, financial and valuation factors, I conclude that Google is a better value than Apple at today’s prices. To recap the results of each section of my analysis:Competitive position: tie.Profitability: slight win by Apple.Balance sheet: huge win by Google.Valuation: huge win by Google.Growth: small win by Google.Out of the five factors I’ve looked at, Google wins on three, Apple wins on one, and one is a tie. The former stock has more things going for it than the latter does. For this reason, I have Google overweighted in my portfolio relative to Apple.Risks and ChallengesWhile my analysis shows that Google has more advantages over Apple than vice versa, I am heavily relying on quantifiable factors here. There’s a plausible case to be made that Apple beats Google on “soft” factors, such as marketing and branding. Everybody knows AAPL has a great brand - how much is it worth exactly? It’s hard to say. Brand recognition gives companies pricing power, and Apple has a lot more of that than Google does. It is possible that, over time, Apple’s brand power will prevail over Google’s ubiquity. There is no way to fit that possibility into a quantitative model, but it exists.There’s also the possibility of short-term volatility in Google after this month’s earnings release. Both Apple and Google are releasing earnings in a few weeks, and Google is vulnerable due to its equity investments. When equities decline in price, their “losses” take a bite out of earnings for companies that hold them. This factor will work against Google in the upcoming release, as itholds positionsin struggling stocks like UiPath(PATH).There are also risks to investors choosing to go long both of these stocks. The Federal Reserve israising interest ratesthis year, and rate hikes aren’t usually good for tech stocks. The higher the risk-free rate, the less valuable future growth is. High interest rates generally make value stocks more appealing than growth stocks, and neither Google nor Apple is really in ‘value’ territory just yet.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GOOGL":0.9,"GOOG":0.9,"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":523,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076449529,"gmtCreate":1657896269861,"gmtModify":1676536078744,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Insightful 👍","listText":"Insightful 👍","text":"Insightful 👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076449529","repostId":"1174191896","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174191896","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657776259,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174191896?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-14 13:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Vs.

One has a fanatical fan base andextreme brand loyalty, the other is themostubiquitous companyin the world. There’s a strong case to be made for owning both of them, and this author, at least, does.However, it is worth exploring which of these two stocks is the better buy. First, it’s valuable as an intellectual exercise. Second, it can help you with position sizing. It’s easy enough to say “Apple and Google are both great companies,” it’s a different matter entirely to say how they should be weighted in your portfolio.You can always just buy AAPL and GOOG via the Invesco QQQ Trust, and enjoy both stocks at their market cap weightings. However, Google has historicallyhad stronger growththanApple, and if that continues, then those who overweight GOOG today will be rewarded.So, between Apple and Google, which is the better buy?There are many different opinions on this. Warren Buffett owns Apple but not Google, which implies he likes the former better. However, Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that GOOG was a great stock that he and Buffett had “missed.” Li Lu, another top value investor, holds Google in addition to Apple.As for me personally, I have Google at a higher portfolio weighting than Apple. I think they’re both great companies, but Google was much cheaper than Apple when I started buying the two stocks, despite having better growth. Google’s earnings growth is technically negative due to it owning a stock portfolio during a bear market, but its free cash flow growth is better than Apple’s. I think that Google will outgrow Apple for the foreseeable future, so I see its stock as a somewhat better buy.Competitive LandscapeWhen comparing Apple and Google, we need to look at the competitive landscape they operate in. Both companies are giants in the tech sector, and they offer similar products, including:Smartphone operating systems.App stores.Hardware.Generally speaking, Apple is ahead of Google on hardware, but Google is ahead of Apple on software. In 2021, Apple sold240 million iPhones, Google’s Pixel 6 reportedly didn’t sell wellthat year. However, Google’s software has acombined 4.3 billion users, while Apple has1.65 billiontotal users. So, Google software has more reach than Apple’s combined hardware/software ecosystem does. Additionally, Android has about 75% of the smartphone market worldwide, while IOS has 25%.The matter is more complicated when we look at revenue. Apple and Google both take revenue cuts from developers on their app stores, and the Apple app store generates way more sales than the Google Play store. In the first quarter, the app store did $21.8 billion in sales, while the play store did $10.7 billion. Android has more installs than IOS, but IOS users, who trend wealthier than average, are more willing to spend money on apps compared to Android users.A few other items of note about the competition between Apple and Google:Apple has an ecosystem of apps and hardware which integrate with each other, helping the company collect more revenue per customer.Google also has apps that can work across different devices to create an ecosystem, but because Google software runs mostly on third party hardware, Google doesn’t achieve the full sweep of sales that Apple does (hardware + app downloads + services).Apple and Google also compete in smart watches, a market where Apple has the greatest share out of all manufacturers.In addition to the competition between Apple and Google, there are also areas where the two are aligned. Chiefly, in advertising. Google pays Apple$15 billion a yearto be the default IOS search engine. So, both Apple and Google make money off of the success of Google’s advertising platforms. This gives the two companies an edge compared to Meta Platforms, which is currently losing$10 billion a yearin revenue to Apple’srecent privacy changes.Comparative ValuationWhen we look at Apple and Google side by side, we can see clearly that they are both incredibly well positioned in the tech industry. It’s very difficult to say which of the two is better positioned. They both control mobile platforms, which make them less vulnerable to competitors than Meta, Snap(SNAP) and others. As for the comparison between Apple and Google: that’s less clear, because their structural advantages are very similar.In order to break the tie between Apple and Google, then, we’ll have to do a comparative valuation. Assuming both companies are equally entrenched in the market, then the one that’s cheaper relative to intrinsic value is the better buy.First though, we need to look at both companies’ trailing 12-month (“TTM”) financials side by side.FinancialsIn the table below, I have presented some TTM financials for Apple and Google, courtesy of Seeking Alpha Quant:Using the table above, some key ratios for the two companies can be calculated as follows:As you can see, Apple takes the cake on 2 out of 3 profitability ratios, but Google has better debt to equity and current ratios. These data seem to suggest that Apple is more profitable, while Google has the better balance sheet. We can confirm my profitability analysis by looking at Seeking Alpha Quant's ratios:AAPL profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)GOOG profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)The numbers from Seeking Alpha Quant differ from mine slightly, but basically agree that Apple and Google have similar profitability ratios. Apple has a vastly superior return on equity, though--near's five times Google's. Given the closeness of all the metrics apart from ROE and ROA, those can serve as tie breakers, giving Apple the win on profitability.The balance sheet comparison isn't close. Apple's debt to equity ratio is 30 times higher than Google's, while its current ratio is only a third of Google's. These data suggest that Google is more liquid, and more solvent, than Apple. Below I've compiled some third-party ratios by MacroTrends, which agree with my analysis that Google has fewer liabilities relative to assets, both long term and current, compared to Apple.The tables above clearly show that Google's liquidity ratios are higher than Apple's, and its debt ratios lower--this suggests higher liquidity and solvency.ValuationArmed with Apple and Google's financials, we can now move on to valuation. So far, our comparison basically favors Google: it has a much better balance sheet than Apple does. But which stock is a better value?According to Seeking Alpha Quant, some key valuation metrics for Apple and Google include:For a more forward-looking valuation, we can do a DCF model. Assuming an 8% discount rate, a 0% perpetual growth rate, and using 5-year historical FCF growth rates for both stocks, my DCF model yielded these fair values:Google: $2,702.Apple: $171.Both get valuations above their current prices, but Google's upside (20%) is higher than Apple's (17.9%).When we factor in both multiples and discounted cash flows, there’s no question:Google wins on valuation.All of the multiples are much lower for Google than for Apple, and Google's fair value is higher. Additionally, Google has much higher historical revenue growth than Apple does. In the last 12 months, Googlegrew revenue at 37%, Apple atonly 18.6%. In the most recent quarter, Google reported an earnings decline, whereas Apple’s earnings grew. However, Google’s earnings decline was mainly due to having stocks on its balance sheet. GAAP accounting rules require companies to count stock price fluctuations as part of earnings, which results in losses when stocks go down. It does not, however, reflect operating performance: Google’soperating cash flowgrew 9% in Q1.Conclusion: Google is the Better Long-Term ValueHaving considered competitive, financial and valuation factors, I conclude that Google is a better value than Apple at today’s prices. To recap the results of each section of my analysis:Competitive position: tie.Profitability: slight win by Apple.Balance sheet: huge win by Google.Valuation: huge win by Google.Growth: small win by Google.Out of the five factors I’ve looked at, Google wins on three, Apple wins on one, and one is a tie. The former stock has more things going for it than the latter does. For this reason, I have Google overweighted in my portfolio relative to Apple.Risks and ChallengesWhile my analysis shows that Google has more advantages over Apple than vice versa, I am heavily relying on quantifiable factors here. There’s a plausible case to be made that Apple beats Google on “soft” factors, such as marketing and branding. Everybody knows AAPL has a great brand - how much is it worth exactly? It’s hard to say. Brand recognition gives companies pricing power, and Apple has a lot more of that than Google does. It is possible that, over time, Apple’s brand power will prevail over Google’s ubiquity. There is no way to fit that possibility into a quantitative model, but it exists.There’s also the possibility of short-term volatility in Google after this month’s earnings release. Both Apple and Google are releasing earnings in a few weeks, and Google is vulnerable due to its equity investments. When equities decline in price, their “losses” take a bite out of earnings for companies that hold them. This factor will work against Google in the upcoming release, as itholds positionsin struggling stocks like UiPath(PATH).There are also risks to investors choosing to go long both of these stocks. The Federal Reserve israising interest ratesthis year, and rate hikes aren’t usually good for tech stocks. The higher the risk-free rate, the less valuable future growth is. High interest rates generally make value stocks more appealing than growth stocks, and neither Google nor Apple is really in ‘value’ territory just yet.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GOOGL":0.9,"GOOG":0.9,"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":780,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076454763,"gmtCreate":1657895844753,"gmtModify":1676536078675,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>↖️","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>↖️","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$↖️","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a8d1cde875da0b0d395cb68f854af14","width":"960","height":"3552"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076454763","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":682,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045860467,"gmtCreate":1656596718359,"gmtModify":1676535859986,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just enter.

We posited in our previous update in May that AAPL could bottom soon, given the extent of the last sell-off. Notably, it formed a validated bear trap (significant rejection of selling momentum), corroborating its May bottom.</p><p>However, another June sell-off soon took out its May lows, which invalidated its bear trap. As a result, we revisited our price action thesis and realized we had been wrong on AAPL stock. We revised our rating to Buy too early in 2022, as AAPL formed a double top bull trap (significant rejection of buying momentum) at the end of March.</p><p>Therefore, instead of turning cautious due to its double top, we kept our Buy rating and executed poorly. Consequently, we are reminded again by the market never to ignore the presence of double tops, as they often portend early warning signals to significant trend reversals.</p><p>Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows. However, we are not convinced that the digestion from its double top has been completed. Also, our reverse cash flow model indicates that AAPL could underperform the market even at the current levels.</p><p>Accordingly, we believe revising our rating from Buy to Hold is appropriate.</p><h2>AAPL - Trend Has Turned Decisively Bearish</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38a3910949c6058150395b757a3503a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AAPL price chart (monthly) (TradingView)</p><p>Despite the steep sell-off from its March double top, AAPL is still in a long-term uptrend. Therefore, we believe some long-term AAPL investors remain unperturbed.</p><p>However, we urge caution as AAPL&#39;s surge from its COVID bottom was too fast, helping the stock outperform the market significantly over the past two years. However, such a massive surge is unsustainable unless the company can continue delivering on massive earnings or free cash flow growth from highly challenging comps.</p><p>Furthermore, AAPL&#39;s price action looks extended. As a result, we believe that the digestion from the double top has not been completed, with steeper sell-offs moving forward.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a076eb75f450583b6ab364ebde40ad8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AAPL price chart (weekly) (TradingView)</p><p>Moving into its weekly chart, we can glean the double top at the end of March. Even though AAPL staged a validated bear trap in May as expected, it has already been invalidated by June&#39;s sell-off. Investors are reminded to accord higher precedence to double top price action. Initial bear traps following a double top are usually unreliable.</p><p>Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows, but its momentum has already turned decisively bearish. Therefore, AAPL&#39;s bias continues to the downside if it cannot retake its near-term resistance convincingly.</p><p>Therefore, we will be watching its price action closely. Investors should be prepared for a steep sell-off if it fails its near-term resistance re-test and forms a bull trap.</p><h2>Apple Could Significantly Underperform The Market</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41ba9d7cfac4a1b1c26f3d4535b442fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Apple revenue change % and GAAP EPS change % consensus estimates (S&amp;P Cap IQ)</p><p>Apple still deserves plaudits for its impressive EPS growth, as seen above.

Moreover, its EPS growth is projected to slow considerably as it laps increasingly challenging comps. Hence, unless Apple can deliver something massive that can move the needle (Apple car?), it&#39;s challenging to expect Apple to outperform the market moving forward.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55cbe4a98a878e9069e764c8bfc38786\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Apple EBIT margins % and FCF margins % consensus estimates (S&amp;P Cap IQ)</p><p>Notwithstanding, Apple is a massive cash flow machine, converting most of its EBIT profitability into free cash flow (FCF), as seen above.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. We posited in our previous update in May that AAPL could bottom soon, given the extent of the last sell-off. Notably, it formed a validated bear trap (significant rejection of selling momentum), corroborating its May bottom.However, another June sell-off soon took out its May lows, which invalidated its bear trap. As a result, we revisited our price action thesis and realized we had been wrong on AAPL stock. We revised our rating to Buy too early in 2022, as AAPL formed a double top bull trap (significant rejection of buying momentum) at the end of March.Therefore, instead of turning cautious due to its double top, we kept our Buy rating and executed poorly. Consequently, we are reminded again by the market never to ignore the presence of double tops, as they often portend early warning signals to significant trend reversals.Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows. However, we are not convinced that the digestion from its double top has been completed. Also, our reverse cash flow model indicates that AAPL could underperform the market even at the current levels.Accordingly, we believe revising our rating from Buy to Hold is appropriate.AAPL - Trend Has Turned Decisively BearishAAPL price chart (monthly) (TradingView)Despite the steep sell-off from its March double top, AAPL is still in a long-term uptrend. Therefore, we believe some long-term AAPL investors remain unperturbed.However, we urge caution as AAPL's surge from its COVID bottom was too fast, helping the stock outperform the market significantly over the past two years. However, such a massive surge is unsustainable unless the company can continue delivering on massive earnings or free cash flow growth from highly challenging comps.Furthermore, AAPL's price action looks extended. As a result, we believe that the digestion from the double top has not been completed, with steeper sell-offs moving forward.AAPL price chart (weekly) (TradingView)Moving into its weekly chart, we can glean the double top at the end of March. Even though AAPL staged a validated bear trap in May as expected, it has already been invalidated by June's sell-off. Investors are reminded to accord higher precedence to double top price action. Initial bear traps following a double top are usually unreliable.Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows, but its momentum has already turned decisively bearish. Therefore, AAPL's bias continues to the downside if it cannot retake its near-term resistance convincingly.Therefore, we will be watching its price action closely. Investors should be prepared for a steep sell-off if it fails its near-term resistance re-test and forms a bull trap.Apple Could Significantly Underperform The MarketApple revenue change % and GAAP EPS change % consensus estimates (S&P Cap IQ)Apple still deserves plaudits for its impressive EPS growth, as seen above. Despite tepid revenue growth metrics, it has consistently posted more robust EPS growth, supported by its stock repurchase programs.Notwithstanding, Apple's revenue growth is expected to moderate significantly over the next few years. Moreover, its EPS growth is projected to slow considerably as it laps increasingly challenging comps. Hence, unless Apple can deliver something massive that can move the needle (Apple car?), it's challenging to expect Apple to outperform the market moving forward.Apple EBIT margins % and FCF margins % consensus estimates (S&P Cap IQ)Notwithstanding, Apple is a massive cash flow machine, converting most of its EBIT profitability into free cash flow (FCF), as seen above. As a result, it's expected to continue underpinning its robust FCF margins despite the slowdown in revenue growth.StockAAPLAssumed entry level$129Hurdle rate (CAGR)22.98%Projection throughCQ4'26Required FCF yield in CQ4'267.14%Assumed TTM FCF margin in CQ4'2627%Implied TTM revenue by CQ4'26$1.4TAAPL reverse cash flow valuation model. Data source: S&P Cap IQ, authorAAPL has outperformed the Invesco QQQ Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF (QQQ) over the past five to ten years. It delivered a 5Y total return CAGR of 31.84% (Vs. QQQ's 15.99%). It also posted a 10Y total return CAGR of 22.98% (Vs. QQQ's 17.52%).Therefore, to make sense of whether the market expects AAPL to outperform moving ahead, we used an assumed entry price of $129 (near-term support). We also applied a hurdle rate of 22.98% (equivalent to its 10Y average performance) and used the 10Y mean of its FCF yield of 7.14%.As a result, we require Apple to post revenue of $1.4T by CQ4'26, which is \"impossible,\" based on the current consensus estimates. Hence, we believe the market is likely pricing in further weakness in AAPL as it could significantly underperform the market.Investors should note that AAPL traded at FCF yields as high as 11.8% over the past ten years. So, its current FCF yield of 4.64% is nowhere near those levels.Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?We revise our rating on AAPL from Buy to Hold. While AAPL could maintain its near-term support and hold its June lows, we are convinced it could underperform the market.Therefore, it's better to reallocate capital to other well-beaten down tech stocks that could outperform, given the prolonged bear market in growth stocks.Also, our price action analysis indicates that AAPL has moved decisively into a bearish bias. Therefore, the market could use its current consolidation to distribute the stock further before setting up another bull trap to force a steeper sell-off.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":872,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042431714,"gmtCreate":1656511599538,"gmtModify":1676535842804,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>Hello.&nbsp;Wake up&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>Hello.&nbsp;Wake up&nbsp;","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$Hello.

Supply chain issues, increased money supply, and low interest rates have fueled inflation, and the worry is that it will be hard to stop.As investors, one of the best ways to combat inflation is investing in companies that have the pricing power to pass additional costs on to customers, or that may even see inflation as a tailwind. I think Apple, MGM Resorts International, and Verizon Communications all have a lot going for them in an inflationary environment.Apple's pricing powerCompanies are going to react to inflation pressure in different ways. Some will reduce spending to lower input costs (restaurants), others will need to eat the added cost because they're in a competitive market (hotels), and others will be able to pass additional costs on to the customers because they have pricing power. Apple is certainly able to pass costs on to customers because it has a fairly affluent user base and a high price point already. It also has long-term supply contracts that could keep some inflation costs at bay.The way I think about Apple, the biggest risk is that consumers put off purchases because of higher prices. But Apple has already seen refresh cycles get longer, and there's a limit to how long people will wait to get a new smartphone, especially in the company's affluent target market for new devices. On top of pricing power, Apple has $192.7 billion in cash and investments on its balance sheet. High inflation has led to rising interest rates, which mean better returns on that cash. Apple has the balance sheet to withstand the current turmoil and will be able to pass cost increases on to customers, and that's why it's a great stock to own in an inflationary environment. MGM Resorts may love higher pricesMGM Resorts may be a hidden inflation play because of its high operating leverage. The company spent tens of billions of dollars building or acquiring the casinos it operates on the Las Vegas Strip and around the world, but then it sold most of the underlying real estate to Vici Properties (NYSE: VICI) when interest rates were much lower than they are today, reducing interest rate risk.Today, the business doesn't have many expansion opportunities because gambling has become saturated in the places where it's legal, so the outlays are limited.This combination of selling assets when rates were low and having few expansion plans is actually an advantage in an inflationary environment, because any price increases for hotel rooms, food, and gambling will be very high-margin. Look at the image below to see that MGM's gross margin is relatively high at nearly 50%, but operating margins are lower (in the high single digits) because of relatively high operating expenses. This is because operating costs include items like rent and marketing costs. If the price of hotel rooms, food, and other items goes up, we could see margins rise because of this operating leverage.MGM Gross Profit Margin (Quarterly) data by YChartsThe downside risk is that MGM will likely be more affected by a recession than Apple or Verizon because a trip to Las Vegas is a discretionary expense. So far, that reduction in revenue hasn't hit MGM hard, but it's a risk to the business that's worth acknowledging because it could offset some of the advantages MGM has in an inflationary environment.Verizon has become a consumer stapleVerizon may have pricing power in the cellular market, but that's not why it's a great inflation stock. Its advantage is that the spending it did to buy spectrum and build a 5G network, not to mention the debt to fund those expansions, is in the past. And the company has just $13.1 billion in debt maturing in the next year and some debt extending all the way out to 2061.VZ Total Long Term Debt (Quarterly) data by YChartsSo as inflation increases, the cash margin that Verizon generates should rise, assuming it raises prices even slightly. This could lead to a steady increase in the bottom line, and given rising interest rates, Verizon may even use some cash flow to pay down debt.Telecommunications stocks aren't normally put in the consumer staples category, but given how reliant modern consumers are on smartphones, I think it's about as stable a business as there is today. Inflation may lead to higher prices for service, but that'll help Verizon's bottom line as well.Inflation could be a tailwind for some companiesInflation may not generally be helpful for business or the economy, but for Apple, MGM Resorts, and Verizon it isn't the headwind it will be for some. If the economy doesn't decline sharply, inflation may even be a tailwind for the bottom line. That's why these are companies I would recommend buying if you're worried about inflation getting even worse.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9,"VZ":0.9,"MGM":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":604,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042439281,"gmtCreate":1656511379143,"gmtModify":1676535842750,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tread&nbsp;water 💧&nbsp;","listText":"Tread&nbsp;water 💧&nbsp;","text":"Tread water 💧","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9042439281","repostId":"1132870652","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132870652","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1656499487,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1132870652?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-29 18:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stock Futures Edge Down Ahead of Central-Banker Panel","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132870652","media":"Wall Street Journal","summary":"U.S. stock futures ticked lower ahead of a panel of major central bank officials that is expected to","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stock futures ticked lower ahead of a panel of major central bank officials that is expected to provide insight into their views on the economy, inflation and the path of monetary policy.</p><p>Futures tied to the S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2% after the broad-market index closed down 2%on Tuesday.

The benchmarks all started the session with strong gains, but disappointing consumer confidence data halted those advances and sent stocks tumbling.“As long as the sell-off is orderly,” the Fed is “not concerned with the level of stock prices,” Guggenheim Partners’ Global CIO Scott Minerd told CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime” on Tuesday. “The bottom line is until we see some amount of panic here or something that gets the central bankers concerned, they are just ‘hellbent’ to get inflation under control.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":524,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":147221528,"gmtCreate":1626360294364,"gmtModify":1703758705355,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$Amazon.com(AMZN)$</a>Retreat from the new high&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$Amazon.com(AMZN)$</a>Retreat from the new high&nbsp;","text":"$Amazon.com(AMZN)$Retreat from the new high","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb45bf054c0d87c9db01bdb8a7d4d149","width":"750","height":"1068"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/147221528","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":472,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576119828469182","authorId":"3576119828469182","name":"Bentyl88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/147cb440ad985e6266c4f10d41de0862","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3576119828469182","idStr":"3576119828469182"},"content":"CaNt seem to Hold above 3700","text":"CaNt seem to Hold above 3700","html":"CaNt seem to Hold above 3700"}],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895080626,"gmtCreate":1628694187465,"gmtModify":1676529824790,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Careful for PRC shares.

(NIO) is one of China's leading EV players, and has, through an attractive brand and its unique BaaS offering, attracted a lot of interest from consumers and investors. Today, however, the company is still way smaller than Tesla (TSLA), which is currently leading the global EV market. NIO is focused on its home market right now, which was true when Tesla was a smaller company as well, but NIO will try to grab market share in overseas markets as well. Shares are pricing in a lot of growth already, but if NIO can replicate Tesla's success, that could be more than justified.</p>\n<p><b>NIO And TSLA Stock Prices</b></p>\n<p>Both companies have benefitted from growing interest in EVs during 2020, a trend that saw share prices of most EV pureplays rise rapidly. The combination of growing market share for EVs, accommodating policies such as subsidies for EV purchases, and massive monetary stimulus let shares of NIO and TSLA rise rapidly. NIO is up 245% over the last year, while TSLA is up 101% over the same time. Both companies are currently trading below their all-time highs, however, which were hit in early 2021 before market sentiment for EV pureplays cooled to some degree.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ff5ce865807df85283775d2293b41af\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Taking a quick look at analyst price targets, we see that Tesla is trading almost perfectly in line with the consensus, whereas NIO trades about 30% below the analyst target. If the analyst community is right, then NIO is a substantially better investment right here, as Tesla is not expected to see its shares rise meaningfully over the next year, whereas NIO has significant upside to the analyst price target.</p>\n<p><b>Is NIO Similar To Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that question depends on what you focus on. There are similarities between the two companies, but there are also differences. One could thus say that, in some ways, the two are similar, but in others, they are not. Let's look at a couple of things:</p>\n<p><b>Business Model</b></p>\n<p>Both companies are focused on the EV space, although Tesla has, over the years, been building out a couple of other businesses as well, such as energy storage. Most of Tesla's revenues are generated through selling electric vehicles, which is also how NIO operates. Both companies are focused on the premium segment of EVs, selling higher-priced vehicles that compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Both companies offer a small range of different vehicles, in Tesla's case those are the well-known S, X, 3, and Y, whereas NIO offers a sedan (ET7), and three SUVs (EC6, ES6, ES8). Despite the fact that NIO is a way smaller company today, the model lineups of the two companies do thus not differ too much.</p>\n<p>Both companies offer some type of charging infrastructure to their customers, in Tesla's case, that's the Supercharger network, where Tesla owners can charge their cars with up to 250kW, depending on what version of Supercharger is installed. NIO is following a different approach, offering a battery-as-a-service solution to its customers. NIO owners can get their battery switched out to a fully-charged battery at NIO's stations, a process that takes a couple of minutes and is thus significantly quicker compared to the regular EV charging offered by Tesla and other EV players. BaaS thus has advantages when it comes to the time it takes for a charge/swap, but it should be noted that Tesla's Superchargers are way more common around the world compared to NIO's battery-swapping stations. Rolling out that feature in additional markets will require large capital expenditures, but NIO's offering is a unique selling point compared to what all other EV players, including Tesla, are offering. It remains to be seen whether that will ultimately pay off, but this could become a major advantage for NIO as competition in the EV space is heating up.</p>\n<p><b>Size, growth, and valuation</b></p>\n<p>The two companies differ significantly in size, both when it comes to revenues and vehicle sales, as well as when it comes to the market value of the two companies. NIO has delivered22,000 vehicles in Q2, up 112% year over year, for an annual pace of around 90,000 vehicles. Tesla, meanwhile, has delivered 201,000 vehicles during Q2, up from 103,000 vehicles delivered during Q2 2020. This is strong growth on a year-over-year basis, although slightly below 100%, and thus below the growth rate that NIO is generating for now.</p>\n<p>Tesla delivers around 9x as many vehicles compared to NIO per quarter, when we look at the market capitalizations of the two companies, we see that the ratio is almost exactly the same, as Tesla's market cap of $640 billion is ~9x as high as that of NIO, at $72 billion. At similar growth rates, that would make perfect sense, but it looks like NIO might be the better deal for now, as it trades at a comparable valuation while generating better growth. This will be especially true in the coming quarters, where Tesla's growth is expected to slow down:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a986ea65130206f99961a46ce6cfed55\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is forecasted to grow its revenue from $49 billion in 2021 to $83 billion in 2023, for an annual growth rate of 30%. NIO, meanwhile, is expected to see its revenue explode upwards from $5.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2021 and 2023, for an annual growth rate of 54%. NIO is thus expected to grow way faster than Tesla over the next two years, on a relative basis. This shouldn't be a surprise, to be honest, as the law of large numbers dictates that maintaining massive growth rates becomes increasingly hard for a company the bigger it gets, and Tesla seems to have hit that point by now -- adding 50%+ a year to its top line will not be possible forever. This isn't even necessarily Tesla's fault, in fact, many high-quality growth companies have experienced the same. But investors should still consider this important fact -- Tesla's growth in coming years will be less exciting compared to what we have seen in the past, and peers, such as NIO, are growing faster.</p>\n<p>The same holds true when we take a longer-term view. Revenue estimates for 2025 rest at$22.6 billionfor NIO, up another 80% from the 2023 estimate, and up 320% from what analysts are forecasting for 2021. Tesla, meanwhile, is forecasted to generate revenues of $122.5 billion in 2025 -- a large number, but up by a comparatively weak 48% from 2023, and up by a total of 150% versus 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, NIO will thus 4x its revenue, while Tesla will 2.5x its revenue in the same time span -- a meaningful difference that should, all else equal, allow for a premium valuation for NIO, in the same way Tesla deserves a premium valuation versus legacy players such as Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY).</p>\n<p>Looking at revenue estimates for 2025 relative to how the two companies are valued today, we see that NIO trades at 3.2x 2025 sales, while the 2025 sales multiple for Tesla is 5.2. For a long-term oriented investor, NIO thus seems like the better value today, thanks to the fact that it is trading at a significantly lower sales multiple when we take a look into the future. This does not necessarily mean that NIO is cheap, however, as even a 3.2x 2025 sales multiple is relatively high compared to how legacy auto companies are valued. NIO is looking less expensive than Tesla, however, even if its shares are not cheap on an absolute basis.</p>\n<p><b>Can NIO Be Worth As Much As Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that depends on what time frame you are looking at. Today, NIO is significantly smaller than Tesla and thus rightfully trades at a way smaller market cap. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee that Tesla's shares are a great example of how an EV company should be valued -- it is, at least, possible that its shares are significantly&nbsp;overpriced&nbsp;today, I personally believe that as well (Note that some will argue that shares are&nbsp;underpriced, which is also among the possibilities, although I do not hold that belief personally).</p>\n<p>When we do, for a moment, assume that Tesla is correctly valued today and that EV companies do deserve a market cap in the $600 billion range when they sell about 800,000 vehicles a year, then NIO could eventually hit that as well, although not in the near term. NIO will sell about 90,000 vehicles this year, and that amount should grow to about 400,000 in 2025. If NIO were to grow its sales by 15% a year beyond that point, it could sell around 800,000 cars in 2030, or 9 years from now. If one wants to assume faster growth, the 800,000 vehicles a year line could also be crossed before 2030, e.g. in 2028 or 2029. If we do go with 2030 for now, then NIO could, at a similar deliveries-to-market capitalization ratio to Tesla, be valued at $600+ billion in 2030. In other words, NIO could be worth as much as Tesla (today) in nine years, when we assume that current growth projections are realistic and that a Tesla-like valuation is appropriate. Those are two major ifs, of course, and especially the second point is far from certain, I believe. I personally would not be too surprised to see Tesla's valuation compress, and thus NIO could trade well below the $600 billion market cap level in 2030, even if it continues to grow meaningfully. It is also possible that NIO's growth disappoints and that current projections are too bullish, although I think that NIO is well-positioned for growth thanks to its unique BaaS model and its strong brand that is especially well-recognized in its home market.</p>\n<p>It should also be noted that Tesla's market cap in 2030 could be very different from $600 billion, thus even in case NIO hits that level, it is not at all guaranteed that the two companies will have a similar market cap. Tesla might be valued at a way higher valuation by then, e.g. if the ARK model is right (something I personally think is unlikely). To answer the above question, one could thus say that NIO might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, like Tesla, in 8-10 years, but that is not at all guaranteed. And even if that were to happen, Tesla might be worth significantly more by then.</p>\n<p><b>Is NIO A Good Stock To Buy Or Sell Now?</b></p>\n<p>When considering NIO as an investment, it doesn't really matter all that much whether it will become as large or highly valued as Tesla eventually. Instead, investors should ask themselves what total returns they can expect over the next couple of years, and whether those expected returns are high enough relative to the risks in NIO's business model. Regarding those risks, one should mention the fact that the company isn't profitable yet, which means that NIO is dependent on cash on its balance sheet for growth investments. On top of that, competition in the EV space is growing, and market share battles could pressure margins in coming years, although NIO seems relatively well-positioned thanks to its battery-swapping, which is, I believe, a strong USP. Last but not least, the company's dependence on its home market China is a potential risk that should be kept in mind, although it should also be noted that, for now, it seems like the Chinese government is very accommodating to Chinese EV companies.</p>\n<p>One could argue that valuations across the whole EV industry are too high, relative to how legacy auto companies are valued. Even those legacy players with attractive EV offerings such as Volkswagen or Ford trade at huge discounts compared to EV pureplays. But if one wants to invest in an EV pureplay, NIO doesn't seem like a bad choice. The company combines a strong brand, a unique BaaS offering, high growth rates, and shares trade at a discount compared to how the EV king Tesla is valued. At a little above 3x 2025 revenue, NIO does not seem overly expensive relative to other EV pureplays, although this still represents a premium versus legacy players, of course. If NIO manages to execute well and continues to roll out new models that are well-received by consumers, its shares could have significant upside potential in the long run. If EV stocks ever become an out-of-favor investment, NIO stock also could have considerable downside, however, this thus is not a low-risk pick. Depending on your risk tolerance, NIO could still be of value if you want a high-growth EV pureplay.</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>Will NIO Stock Follow Tesla's Footsteps?

(NIO) is one of China's leading EV players, and has, through an attractive brand and its unique BaaS offering, attracted a lot of interest from consumers and investors. Today, however, the company is still way smaller than Tesla (TSLA), which is currently leading the global EV market. NIO is focused on its home market right now, which was true when Tesla was a smaller company as well, but NIO will try to grab market share in overseas markets as well. Shares are pricing in a lot of growth already, but if NIO can replicate Tesla's success, that could be more than justified.\nNIO And TSLA Stock Prices\nBoth companies have benefitted from growing interest in EVs during 2020, a trend that saw share prices of most EV pureplays rise rapidly. The combination of growing market share for EVs, accommodating policies such as subsidies for EV purchases, and massive monetary stimulus let shares of NIO and TSLA rise rapidly. NIO is up 245% over the last year, while TSLA is up 101% over the same time. Both companies are currently trading below their all-time highs, however, which were hit in early 2021 before market sentiment for EV pureplays cooled to some degree.\nData by YCharts\nTaking a quick look at analyst price targets, we see that Tesla is trading almost perfectly in line with the consensus, whereas NIO trades about 30% below the analyst target. If the analyst community is right, then NIO is a substantially better investment right here, as Tesla is not expected to see its shares rise meaningfully over the next year, whereas NIO has significant upside to the analyst price target.\nIs NIO Similar To Tesla?\nThe answer to that question depends on what you focus on. There are similarities between the two companies, but there are also differences. One could thus say that, in some ways, the two are similar, but in others, they are not. Let's look at a couple of things:\nBusiness Model\nBoth companies are focused on the EV space, although Tesla has, over the years, been building out a couple of other businesses as well, such as energy storage. Most of Tesla's revenues are generated through selling electric vehicles, which is also how NIO operates. Both companies are focused on the premium segment of EVs, selling higher-priced vehicles that compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Both companies offer a small range of different vehicles, in Tesla's case those are the well-known S, X, 3, and Y, whereas NIO offers a sedan (ET7), and three SUVs (EC6, ES6, ES8). Despite the fact that NIO is a way smaller company today, the model lineups of the two companies do thus not differ too much.\nBoth companies offer some type of charging infrastructure to their customers, in Tesla's case, that's the Supercharger network, where Tesla owners can charge their cars with up to 250kW, depending on what version of Supercharger is installed.

BaaS thus has advantages when it comes to the time it takes for a charge/swap, but it should be noted that Tesla's Superchargers are way more common around the world compared to NIO's battery-swapping stations. Rolling out that feature in additional markets will require large capital expenditures, but NIO's offering is a unique selling point compared to what all other EV players, including Tesla, are offering. It remains to be seen whether that will ultimately pay off, but this could become a major advantage for NIO as competition in the EV space is heating up.\nSize, growth, and valuation\nThe two companies differ significantly in size, both when it comes to revenues and vehicle sales, as well as when it comes to the market value of the two companies. NIO has delivered22,000 vehicles in Q2, up 112% year over year, for an annual pace of around 90,000 vehicles. Tesla, meanwhile, has delivered 201,000 vehicles during Q2, up from 103,000 vehicles delivered during Q2 2020. This is strong growth on a year-over-year basis, although slightly below 100%, and thus below the growth rate that NIO is generating for now.\nTesla delivers around 9x as many vehicles compared to NIO per quarter, when we look at the market capitalizations of the two companies, we see that the ratio is almost exactly the same, as Tesla's market cap of $640 billion is ~9x as high as that of NIO, at $72 billion. At similar growth rates, that would make perfect sense, but it looks like NIO might be the better deal for now, as it trades at a comparable valuation while generating better growth. This will be especially true in the coming quarters, where Tesla's growth is expected to slow down:\nData by YCharts\nTesla is forecasted to grow its revenue from $49 billion in 2021 to $83 billion in 2023, for an annual growth rate of 30%. NIO, meanwhile, is expected to see its revenue explode upwards from $5.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2021 and 2023, for an annual growth rate of 54%. NIO is thus expected to grow way faster than Tesla over the next two years, on a relative basis. This shouldn't be a surprise, to be honest, as the law of large numbers dictates that maintaining massive growth rates becomes increasingly hard for a company the bigger it gets, and Tesla seems to have hit that point by now -- adding 50%+ a year to its top line will not be possible forever. This isn't even necessarily Tesla's fault, in fact, many high-quality growth companies have experienced the same. But investors should still consider this important fact -- Tesla's growth in coming years will be less exciting compared to what we have seen in the past, and peers, such as NIO, are growing faster.\nThe same holds true when we take a longer-term view. Revenue estimates for 2025 rest at$22.6 billionfor NIO, up another 80% from the 2023 estimate, and up 320% from what analysts are forecasting for 2021. Tesla, meanwhile, is forecasted to generate revenues of $122.5 billion in 2025 -- a large number, but up by a comparatively weak 48% from 2023, and up by a total of 150% versus 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, NIO will thus 4x its revenue, while Tesla will 2.5x its revenue in the same time span -- a meaningful difference that should, all else equal, allow for a premium valuation for NIO, in the same way Tesla deserves a premium valuation versus legacy players such as Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY).\nLooking at revenue estimates for 2025 relative to how the two companies are valued today, we see that NIO trades at 3.2x 2025 sales, while the 2025 sales multiple for Tesla is 5.2. For a long-term oriented investor, NIO thus seems like the better value today, thanks to the fact that it is trading at a significantly lower sales multiple when we take a look into the future. This does not necessarily mean that NIO is cheap, however, as even a 3.2x 2025 sales multiple is relatively high compared to how legacy auto companies are valued. NIO is looking less expensive than Tesla, however, even if its shares are not cheap on an absolute basis.\nCan NIO Be Worth As Much As Tesla?\nThe answer to that depends on what time frame you are looking at. Today, NIO is significantly smaller than Tesla and thus rightfully trades at a way smaller market cap. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee that Tesla's shares are a great example of how an EV company should be valued -- it is, at least, possible that its shares are significantly overpriced today, I personally believe that as well (Note that some will argue that shares are underpriced, which is also among the possibilities, although I do not hold that belief personally).\nWhen we do, for a moment, assume that Tesla is correctly valued today and that EV companies do deserve a market cap in the $600 billion range when they sell about 800,000 vehicles a year, then NIO could eventually hit that as well, although not in the near term. NIO will sell about 90,000 vehicles this year, and that amount should grow to about 400,000 in 2025. If NIO were to grow its sales by 15% a year beyond that point, it could sell around 800,000 cars in 2030, or 9 years from now. If one wants to assume faster growth, the 800,000 vehicles a year line could also be crossed before 2030, e.g. in 2028 or 2029. If we do go with 2030 for now, then NIO could, at a similar deliveries-to-market capitalization ratio to Tesla, be valued at $600+ billion in 2030. In other words, NIO could be worth as much as Tesla (today) in nine years, when we assume that current growth projections are realistic and that a Tesla-like valuation is appropriate. Those are two major ifs, of course, and especially the second point is far from certain, I believe. I personally would not be too surprised to see Tesla's valuation compress, and thus NIO could trade well below the $600 billion market cap level in 2030, even if it continues to grow meaningfully. It is also possible that NIO's growth disappoints and that current projections are too bullish, although I think that NIO is well-positioned for growth thanks to its unique BaaS model and its strong brand that is especially well-recognized in its home market.\nIt should also be noted that Tesla's market cap in 2030 could be very different from $600 billion, thus even in case NIO hits that level, it is not at all guaranteed that the two companies will have a similar market cap. Tesla might be valued at a way higher valuation by then, e.g. if the ARK model is right (something I personally think is unlikely). To answer the above question, one could thus say that NIO might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, like Tesla, in 8-10 years, but that is not at all guaranteed. And even if that were to happen, Tesla might be worth significantly more by then.\nIs NIO A Good Stock To Buy Or Sell Now?\nWhen considering NIO as an investment, it doesn't really matter all that much whether it will become as large or highly valued as Tesla eventually. Instead, investors should ask themselves what total returns they can expect over the next couple of years, and whether those expected returns are high enough relative to the risks in NIO's business model. Regarding those risks, one should mention the fact that the company isn't profitable yet, which means that NIO is dependent on cash on its balance sheet for growth investments. On top of that, competition in the EV space is growing, and market share battles could pressure margins in coming years, although NIO seems relatively well-positioned thanks to its battery-swapping, which is, I believe, a strong USP. Last but not least, the company's dependence on its home market China is a potential risk that should be kept in mind, although it should also be noted that, for now, it seems like the Chinese government is very accommodating to Chinese EV companies.\nOne could argue that valuations across the whole EV industry are too high, relative to how legacy auto companies are valued. Even those legacy players with attractive EV offerings such as Volkswagen or Ford trade at huge discounts compared to EV pureplays. But if one wants to invest in an EV pureplay, NIO doesn't seem like a bad choice. The company combines a strong brand, a unique BaaS offering, high growth rates, and shares trade at a discount compared to how the EV king Tesla is valued. At a little above 3x 2025 revenue, NIO does not seem overly expensive relative to other EV pureplays, although this still represents a premium versus legacy players, of course. If NIO manages to execute well and continues to roll out new models that are well-received by consumers, its shares could have significant upside potential in the long run. If EV stocks ever become an out-of-favor investment, NIO stock also could have considerable downside, however, this thus is not a low-risk pick. Depending on your risk tolerance, NIO could still be of value if you want a high-growth EV pureplay.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSLA":0.9,"NIO":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":530,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3557997848207595","authorId":"3557997848207595","name":"Sorrie2u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6d66e86226a74e66bc2d0be7a148e734","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3557997848207595","idStr":"3557997848207595"},"content":"nope way off","text":"nope way off","html":"nope way off"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143682116,"gmtCreate":1625791807735,"gmtModify":1703748570634,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time for Pfizer to pick up !","listText":"Time for Pfizer to pick up !","text":"Time for Pfizer to pick up !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/143682116","repostId":"1141664359","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890881687,"gmtCreate":1628091716449,"gmtModify":1703501157081,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Hi baba!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Hi baba!","text":"$Alibaba(BABA)$Hi baba!","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/924fbceb1c0a5b4c26a7f2d77572949e","width":"750","height":"1068"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890881687","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":614,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9087855240,"gmtCreate":1650989835098,"gmtModify":1676534829210,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple sales 🥹","listText":"Apple sales 🥹","text":"Apple sales 🥹","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9087855240","repostId":"2230510690","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2230510690","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650977251,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2230510690?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-26 20:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2230510690","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These stocks have fallen sharply this year but offer compelling long-term prospects.","content":"<div>\n<p>Year to date, the S&P 500 has fallen by more than 11% as stock traders weigh multiple concerns, including potential slowing economies in the U.S. and elsewhere, elevated gas prices, and rising ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/26/3-top-stocks-to-buy-during-a-sell-off/\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The down market is creating opportunities in some sectors as good companies are being dragged down along with stocks that deserve to be trading lower.That's the case with three companies we will discuss in this article which have seen their stock prices drop by 9% to 25% since the start of 2022. Let's take a closer look at these stocks to understand why now might just be an opportune time to buy.Image source: Getty Images.1. AppleApple is one of the companies caught up in the broader tech stock sell off, with its stock down by almost 10% so far this year. The stock has also been affected by reports of supply chain issues, but this should prove temporary. After all, people still clamor for Apple's products.In its fiscal 2022 first quarter (ended Dec. 25, 2021), revenue grew by 11.2% to $123.9 billion. Due to chip shortages and manufacturing issues, this growth rate was lower than in previous quarters, including 28.8% year-over-year growth reported in the previous quarter. Although it's troubling to lose sales, these issues have nothing to do with slowing demand. In fact, demand was so strong that Apple couldn't meet it.Meanwhile, Apple regularly updates its iPhone, coming out with a version 13 lineup last year, and consumers rushed out to buy it. In its latest fiscal year, which ended on Sept. 25, 2021, iPhone sales rose by 39.3% to $192 billion. And Apple has an exciting future with new products, including a potentially self-driving car, coming down the pike. We will find out more about its performance when Apple reports Q2 earnings on Thursday, April 28.2. AmazonAmazon's share price has dropped by 13.7% so far in 2022. While there have been concerns raised about its near-term retail performance, it will undoubtedly rebound as the company continues to focus on value and fast delivery.In 2021, sales rose by 21.7% to $469.8 billion. But growth slowed later in the year, with a top-line increase of 9.4% in the fourth quarter. Management expects 4.5% to 9.5% sales growth in the first quarter, excluding foreign exchange translations. It anticipates operating income, not counting an accounting change, to fall by 38% to $5.5 billion at the midpoint of management's guidance.Like other retailers, Amazon continues to confront supply chain issues and higher costs. These issues should prove to be temporary. Management has also offset some of the elevated expenses by raising the price of its very popular Prime subscription. Subscribers will be asked this year to start paying $139 a year, a $20 boost in the annual cost. The higher price will help to offset the cost of added content Amazon gained with its acquisition of MGM Studios.Amazon has become far more than an online marketplace. Its Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a dominant 32% share of the cloud-computing market. As companies clamor for data, this has become a fast-growing, high-margin business. Last year, AWS' sales grew by 37.1% to $62.2 billion, driving operating income 37% higher to $18.5 billion. Its 29.8% margin dwarfs the North American and international divisions' typical single-digit operating margin.Aside from AWS, Amazon also generates an impressive amount of sales from advertising. In the fourth quarter, ad revenue grew by 33% year over year to $9.7 billion.Amazon will report fiscal 2022 first-quarter earnings on April 28.3. Lowe'sLowe's stock is off to a rough start in 2022, down nearly 24%. Investors appear to be concerned that the red-hot housing market could cool as interest rates increase, which could affect Lowe's sales. But long-term investors should view this as an opportunity.In fiscal 2021 (which ended Jan. 28), same-store sales (comps) increased by 6.9%, and operating margin expanded by 1.8 percentage points to 12.6%. For Fiscal 2022, management said it expects flattish comps, although it anticipates operating margin to expand to the 12.8% to 13% range.That's not too disappointing considering fiscal 2021 was a banner year. But demand doesn't fall off a cliff just because the housing market slows down, and Lowe's results will undoubtedly rebound when the cycle turns. For instance, during the Great Recession that ran from 2007 to 2009, comps fell by between 5% and 7%. However, the following year, sales rebounded with comps increasing by 1.3%. Lowe's will next report earnings on May 17.Meanwhile, Lowe's investors can collect the reliable and ever-increasing dividends the company generates, even if results temporarily falter. Lowe's is a Dividend King, raising annual dividend payments for 59 straight years. That includes some tough economic periods. It seems like a good bet that the board of directors will see fit to increase dividends again this year. Lowe's stock has a 1.6% dividend yield.Investor takeawayWhile blindly buying certain stocks merely because they're down isn't a wise strategy, the stock for Apple, Amazon, and Lowe's each offer compelling long-term prospects. Their issues will prove a temporary bump in the road, making their recent price drops a good buying opportunity.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9,"LOW":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":858,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812524764,"gmtCreate":1630595917758,"gmtModify":1676530352849,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Everything bubble.

You can scarcely find an individual who has not used at least one of Apple's products. Further, Apple customers show a high degree of loyalty to the brand, often staying within the Apple ecosystem for several years or more. A good deal of Apple's sales now come from repeat customers or those who are upgrading to newer versions of the iPhone, iPad, or Mac computers. And product success has led to share price appreciation.The company's stock has been up over 700% in the last decade alone. That phenomenal success has investors curious if they should buy Apple stock right now. To answer that question, let's dig into the company's prospects and valuation to determine if long-term investors should buy right now.Image source: Getty Images.Apple's products and services are used by over one billion people worldwideAny discussion about Apple's stock cannot ignore the iPhone. The flagship product accounted for over 50% of the company's overall revenue in its most recent quarter ended Dec. 25, 2021. The iPhone will likely continue to have a meaningful impact over several years: In the fourth quarter of 2021, the iPhone commanded a 23.4% share in the global smartphone market, its largest portion since the product's launch. Competitor Samsung is Apple's closest smartphone competitor, holding 19% of the market.Therein lies another advantage: With one billion people using the iPhone, Apple has ample opportunity to market its services. Net sales of Apple's services grew from $15.7 billion in fourth quarter 2020 to nearly $20 billion in the same period of 2021. Sales of services are more profitable than that of products because Apple need not recreate a service for each new customer. Instead, Apple pays to create a service once, and each new customer that joins brings incremental revenue, delivering a significant contribution profit to the bottom line.Over the last decade, Apple's products and services have worked together to deliver impressive revenue and profit growth. Revenue has increased from $157 billion in 2012 to $366 billion in 2021. Similarly, operating profit has risen from $55 billion to $109 billion.What about Apple's stock price?There is little debate that Apple is an impressive business. Its products and services are coveted by customers worldwide, and it has demonstrated an ability to innovate, create new products, and update existing ones. The next question to ask regards valuation: Is Apple's stock too expensive?Apple and Microsoft price to earnings and price to free cash flow: Data by Ycharts.Apple's price-to-earnings and price-to-free-cash-flow ratios are both 29, which falls on the pricier side compared to the company's historical average. However, when viewed next to rival Microsoft, Apple is trading at a discount.Overall, it's safe to say that Apple's stock is not cheap, but no one can fault an investor willing to pay a premium price for a quality business. For those investors, Apple stock could be a buy right now. For the value-conscious investor, it may be prudent to wait for a pullback in the price before accumulating shares.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":772,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9036998027,"gmtCreate":1646958820016,"gmtModify":1676534181467,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's time&nbsp;","listText":"It's time&nbsp;","text":"It's time","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9036998027","repostId":"2218123147","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":916,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":819235281,"gmtCreate":1630071812743,"gmtModify":1676530216515,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4088157638983690","idStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$</a>After a long wait, finally !
