The investment — valued at $4.2 billion — gives Berkshire Hathaway a roughly 11.4% stake in HP.</p><p>&#34;Berkshire Hathaway is one of the world’s most respected investors and we welcome them as an investor in HP Inc,&#34; an HP spokesperson said.</p><p>Buffett&#39;s investment makes sense for several reasons.</p><p>First, HP has been humming right along under CEO Enrique Lores as his operational turnaround continues to bear fruit.</p><p>The company squashed analyst profit forecasts for its first fiscal quarter (reported in late February), powered by strong sales of commercial computers and printers. HP said commercial computer and printer sales rose 26% and 9%, respectively, from the prior year.</p><p>The strength in commercial computers and printers offset a more muted performance for consumer products. HP said consumer PC sales fell 1%, while consumer printing sales dropped 23%.</p><p>Operating profit margins expanded 70 basis points in HP&#39;s personal systems segment, but declined 160 basis points in the printing business.</p><p>HP — a prolific purchaser of its own stock under Lores — repurchased another $1.8 billion of its stock in the quarter.</p><p>The company offered up an upbeat outlook despite ongoing supply-chain constraints and a slowing PC market.</p><p>For the second fiscal quarter, HP sees EPS in a range of $1.02 to $1.08.

The investment — valued at $4.2 billion — gives Berkshire Hathaway a roughly 11.4% stake in HP.\"Berkshire Hathaway is one of the world’s most respected investors and we welcome them as an investor in HP Inc,\" an HP spokesperson said.Buffett's investment makes sense for several reasons.First, HP has been humming right along under CEO Enrique Lores as his operational turnaround continues to bear fruit.The company squashed analyst profit forecasts for its first fiscal quarter (reported in late February), powered by strong sales of commercial computers and printers. HP said commercial computer and printer sales rose 26% and 9%, respectively, from the prior year.The strength in commercial computers and printers offset a more muted performance for consumer products. HP said consumer PC sales fell 1%, while consumer printing sales dropped 23%.Operating profit margins expanded 70 basis points in HP's personal systems segment, but declined 160 basis points in the printing business.HP — a prolific purchaser of its own stock under Lores — repurchased another $1.8 billion of its stock in the quarter.The company offered up an upbeat outlook despite ongoing supply-chain constraints and a slowing PC market.For the second fiscal quarter, HP sees EPS in a range of $1.02 to $1.08. Analysts had estimated $1.02 a share. The company lifted its full year EPS outlook to $4.18 to $4.38 a share from $4.07 to $4.27 previously. Wall Street was modeling for $4.17 a share.While HP has rolled right along during the pandemic — in part also fueled by aggressive cost management that has bolstered profits — Lores has begun to put his stamp on the company's future through acquisitions.The company said in late March it would buy workplace collaboration solutions provider Poly for $3.3 billion. That comes on the heels of a 2021 acquisition of gaming peripheral maker HyperX for $425 million.Despite all of these efforts, an argument could be made that HP's stock hasn't been properly valued by investors — hence Buffett enters smelling a dislocation.HP shares only trade on a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 8.5 times. That's well below the forward PE multiple on the S&P 500 of about 18.2 times. It's also bizarrely below the 12 times rival Xerox shares fetch, in the face of less stronger performance than HP throughout the pandemic.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BRK.A":0.9,"HPQ":0.6}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":870,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010120239,"gmtCreate":1648295862475,"gmtModify":1676534326044,"author":{"id":"4109734812445390","authorId":"4109734812445390","name":"Teruteru87","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109734812445390","idStr":"4109734812445390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"PLTR is still growing, let's let the baby to grow intime😄","listText":"PLTR is still growing, let's let the baby to grow intime😄","text":"PLTR is still growing, let's let the baby to grow intime😄","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010120239","repostId":"2222598883","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":746,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032684510,"gmtCreate":1647355074458,"gmtModify":1676534219974,"author":{"id":"4109734812445390","authorId":"4109734812445390","name":"Teruteru87","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109734812445390","idStr":"4109734812445390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"We still see sales of iPhone, iPad and Mac Pro, even during these volatile period.

Its products include the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, HomePod and AirPods.The company was founded by Steven Paul Jobs, Ronald Gerald Wayne, and Stephen G. Wozniak on April 1, 1976, and is headquartered in Cupertino, California.I am bullish on AAPL stock. Q1 2022 results were very strong, and profitability remains very high, while the company’s debt is well covered by operating cash flows.Apple Business NewsThe war in Ukraine has forced many companies to withdraw their operations in Russia, or stop their exports of products taking a clear stand against the invasion of Ukraine.Apple has stopped its sales in Russia but has also limited the functionality of some of its services and removed Russian news apps. It has even disabled some functions of Apple Maps in Ukraine to avoid the tracking of Ukrainian military and citizen movements. This move should harm the sales in Russia but there is the latest good news that may severely limit this negative impact.Apple also revealed its latest products, including an affordable iPhone SE with 5G capability, a new desktop flagship computer, and a new iPad Air with M1 chip.The technology company seems to have found a way to address supply chain constraints and the ongoing global chip shortage very effectively, as this has been reflected in the latest stellar earnings report.Q1 2022 EarningsAPPL stock earnings have been getting stronger as of Q4 2020 and have a remarkable track record of beating estimates.In Q1 2022, GAAP EPS of $2.10 was a beat by $0.21, and revenue of $123.95 billion was a beat by $5.41 billion. This was an all-time revenue record up 11% year-over-year.Diluted EPS increased 25% year-over-year from $1.68 in Q1 2021 and all categories showed a year-over-year increase except for iPad sales.Net income grew to $34.63 billion an increase of nearly 20.5% compared to net income of $28.8 billion in the same quarter a year ago.Fundamentals – RisksThe main concern for Apple is its high level of debt. As per the latest quarter, it has a D/E ratio of 1.48.Other than that profitability is very strong, as gross margin, operating margin, and net margin have all expanded on a TTM basis. There is also a very strong and consistent positive free cash flow trend, as in 2021 Apple generated $92.95 billion of free cash flow; an increase of 26.7% compared to 2020.Long-term growth is also consistent and positive for the tech giant, as the 10-year average growth for revenue and net income is 12.95% and 13.83%, respectively.Apple returned nearly $27 billion to shareholders during the latest quarter.ValuationAAPL is relatively overvalued based on its P/E Ratio (25.7x) compared to the U.S. Tech industry average (13.9x) and based on its PEG Ratio (6.6x).The expected 3–5-year EPS growth of 12.5% is very positive for such a large and mature technology company.Wall Street’s TakeApple has a Strong Buy consensus based on 23 Buys and five Holds. The average Apple price target of $193.36 represents 28.3% upside potential.ConclusionApple has recently announced a series of new products that should continue to have a positive impact on its revenue growth. Profitability is excellent, the return of cash to shareholders is supportive and growth continues to be very strong.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1043,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"9000000000000601","authorId":"9000000000000601","name":"ElvisMarner","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6feca155d0db09a740c96d3ac91f0628","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"9000000000000601","idStr":"9000000000000601"},"content":"Are you still optimistic about the development of the technology industry this year?","text":"Are you still optimistic about the development of the technology industry this year?","html":"Are you still optimistic about the development of the technology industry this year?"},{"author":{"id":"4103864033944460","authorId":"4103864033944460","name":"PaperPlay","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9bd8cbd182d6cb24667a31115671409","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4103864033944460","idStr":"4103864033944460"},"content":"Since the start of smartphone era I been using ANDROID, BUT the moment I switched to iPhone, I am convinced with its product quality & ecosystem!!!","text":"Since the start of smartphone era I been using ANDROID, BUT the moment I switched to iPhone, I am convinced with its product quality & ecosystem!!!","html":"Since the start of smartphone era I been using ANDROID, BUT the moment I switched to iPhone, I am convinced with its product quality & ecosystem!!!"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9032684510,"gmtCreate":1647355074458,"gmtModify":1676534219974,"author":{"id":"4109734812445390","authorId":"4109734812445390","name":"Teruteru87","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109734812445390","idStr":"4109734812445390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"We still see sales of iPhone, iPad and Mac Pro, even during these volatile period.

Its products include the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, HomePod and AirPods.The company was founded by Steven Paul Jobs, Ronald Gerald Wayne, and Stephen G. Wozniak on April 1, 1976, and is headquartered in Cupertino, California.I am bullish on AAPL stock. Q1 2022 results were very strong, and profitability remains very high, while the company’s debt is well covered by operating cash flows.Apple Business NewsThe war in Ukraine has forced many companies to withdraw their operations in Russia, or stop their exports of products taking a clear stand against the invasion of Ukraine.Apple has stopped its sales in Russia but has also limited the functionality of some of its services and removed Russian news apps. It has even disabled some functions of Apple Maps in Ukraine to avoid the tracking of Ukrainian military and citizen movements. This move should harm the sales in Russia but there is the latest good news that may severely limit this negative impact.Apple also revealed its latest products, including an affordable iPhone SE with 5G capability, a new desktop flagship computer, and a new iPad Air with M1 chip.The technology company seems to have found a way to address supply chain constraints and the ongoing global chip shortage very effectively, as this has been reflected in the latest stellar earnings report.Q1 2022 EarningsAPPL stock earnings have been getting stronger as of Q4 2020 and have a remarkable track record of beating estimates.In Q1 2022, GAAP EPS of $2.10 was a beat by $0.21, and revenue of $123.95 billion was a beat by $5.41 billion. This was an all-time revenue record up 11% year-over-year.Diluted EPS increased 25% year-over-year from $1.68 in Q1 2021 and all categories showed a year-over-year increase except for iPad sales.Net income grew to $34.63 billion an increase of nearly 20.5% compared to net income of $28.8 billion in the same quarter a year ago.Fundamentals – RisksThe main concern for Apple is its high level of debt. As per the latest quarter, it has a D/E ratio of 1.48.Other than that profitability is very strong, as gross margin, operating margin, and net margin have all expanded on a TTM basis. There is also a very strong and consistent positive free cash flow trend, as in 2021 Apple generated $92.95 billion of free cash flow; an increase of 26.7% compared to 2020.Long-term growth is also consistent and positive for the tech giant, as the 10-year average growth for revenue and net income is 12.95% and 13.83%, respectively.Apple returned nearly $27 billion to shareholders during the latest quarter.ValuationAAPL is relatively overvalued based on its P/E Ratio (25.7x) compared to the U.S. Tech industry average (13.9x) and based on its PEG Ratio (6.6x).The expected 3–5-year EPS growth of 12.5% is very positive for such a large and mature technology company.Wall Street’s TakeApple has a Strong Buy consensus based on 23 Buys and five Holds. The average Apple price target of $193.36 represents 28.3% upside potential.ConclusionApple has recently announced a series of new products that should continue to have a positive impact on its revenue growth. Profitability is excellent, the return of cash to shareholders is supportive and growth continues to be very strong.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1043,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"9000000000000601","authorId":"9000000000000601","name":"ElvisMarner","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6feca155d0db09a740c96d3ac91f0628","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"9000000000000601","idStr":"9000000000000601"},"content":"Are you still optimistic about the development of the technology industry this year?","text":"Are you still optimistic about the development of the technology industry this year?","html":"Are you still optimistic about the development of the technology industry this year?"},{"author":{"id":"4103864033944460","authorId":"4103864033944460","name":"PaperPlay","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9bd8cbd182d6cb24667a31115671409","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4103864033944460","idStr":"4103864033944460"},"content":"Since the start of smartphone era I been using ANDROID, BUT the moment I switched to iPhone, I am convinced with its product quality & ecosystem!!!","text":"Since the start of smartphone era I been using ANDROID, BUT the moment I switched to iPhone, I am convinced with its product quality & ecosystem!!!","html":"Since the start of smartphone era I been using ANDROID, BUT the moment I switched to iPhone, I am convinced with its product quality & ecosystem!!!"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010120239,"gmtCreate":1648295862475,"gmtModify":1676534326044,"author":{"id":"4109734812445390","authorId":"4109734812445390","name":"Teruteru87","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109734812445390","idStr":"4109734812445390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"PLTR is still growing, let's let the baby to grow intime😄","listText":"PLTR is still growing, let's let the baby to grow intime😄","text":"PLTR is still growing, let's let the baby to grow intime😄","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010120239","repostId":"2222598883","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":746,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9012510822,"gmtCreate":1649349423874,"gmtModify":1676534496522,"author":{"id":"4109734812445390","authorId":"4109734812445390","name":"Teruteru87","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109734812445390","idStr":"4109734812445390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Long term investment purposes.

A number of the streamers have already dived into this space, and it is expected to remain a lucrative field for some time to come.Apple is no exception. While it entered the fray late, in typical Apple fashion it made its presence felt.A few months ago, it signed a deal with MLB for a new Friday Night baseball double-header packages that brought games exclusively to Apple TV+. It was presumed to be the first step in a larger play, and this week those presumptions were proven correct.Apple has swooped in and signed the rights to Major League Soccer (MLS) in a new 10-year deal slated to kick off early next year. The package includes ALL the MLS games and promises to be a one-stop-shop for soccer fans.There's a lot to unpack there because it's big news on a variety of levels.At the basic level, it adds soccer to the Apple TV family of content, which paired with baseball continues to see it expand into a market where consumers have interest. With an Apple TV+ subscription bundled into the deal, it also helps (once-again) juice its subscriber count.And then there is the larger level, that as usual with Apple, will have far-reaching effects.The MLS deal is not your typical content play.
