Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said that misclassification "deprives workers of their federal labor protections, including their right to be paid their full, legally earned wages."</p><p>Uber, <b>Lyft</b>, <b>DoorDash</b>, and other gig economy companies had previously faced a similar assembly bill (AB5) in California, which they collectively countered with a ballot initiative called Proposition 22. Prop 22 was approved by the state's voters in late 2020 but subsequently ruled unconstitutional and unenforceable by a court in August 2021. Uber and its industry peers are appealing that ruling.</p><p>The new Labor Department proposal represents an escalation of that state conflict on a federal level and would reverse a Trump administration ruling, which actually made it easier for companies to reclassify their workers as independent contractors. This certainly sounds like a major headache for Uber, which could see its margins crumble if it reclassified all its drivers as employees. But is the market overreacting to the news? Let's review the bear and bull cases to decide.</p><h2>What the bears will say about Uber</h2><p>The bears will point out that even though Uber classifies its millions of drivers as independent contractors, it hasn't ever been profitable on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis.</p><table border=\"1\" width=\"576\"><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr valign=\"TOP\"><th width=\"120\"><p>Period</p></th><th width=\"96\"><p>Q2 2022</p></th><th width=\"98\"><p>Q1 2022</p></th><th width=\"92\"><p>FY 2021</p></th><th width=\"98\"><p>FY 2020</p></th></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"120\"><p>Revenue</p></td><td width=\"96\"><p>$8.07 billion</p></td><td width=\"98\"><p>$6.85 billion</p></td><td width=\"92\"><p>$17.46 billion</p></td><td width=\"98\"><p>$11.14 billion</p></td></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"120\"><p>Net Income</p></td><td width=\"96\"><p>($2.60 billion)</p></td><td width=\"98\"><p>($5.93 billion)</p></td><td width=\"92\"><p>($496 million)</p></td><td width=\"98\"><p>($6.77 billion)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: Uber.</p><p>Analysts expect Uber's revenue to rise 79% to $31.32 billion this year, but for its net loss to widen to $8.85 billion -- partly due to its investment-related losses in companies like <b>Grab</b>, <b>DiDi Global</b>, Zomato, and Aurora -- followed by a narrower loss of $321 million in 2023. But if Uber still can't break even while mainly relying on lower-cost independent contractors, what happens if it's forced to reclassify those drivers as employees?</p><p>In its latest 10-K filing, Uber says its business "would be adversely affected" if its drivers "were classified as employees, workers or quasi-employees instead of independent contractors." It also said that classification was "being challenged in courts, by legislators, and by government agencies in the United States and abroad." It was already forced to grant its U.K. drivers paid vacations, rest breaks, and a minimum wage while using the app last year -- and that ruling could spark similar rulings in other countries.</p><h2>What the bulls will say about Uber</h2><p>The bulls will point out that Uber's number of monthly active platform consumers (MAPCs), total trips, and gross bookings have all been growing rapidly since it suffered a temporary slowdown during the pandemic:</p><table border=\"1\" width=\"591\"><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr valign=\"TOP\"><th width=\"201\"><p>Period</p></th><th width=\"82\"><p>Q2 2022</p></th><th width=\"72\"><p>Q1 2022</p></th><th width=\"84\"><p>FY 2021</p></th><th width=\"80\"><p>FY 2020</p></th></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"201\"><p>MAPCs Growth</p></td><td width=\"82\"><p>21%</p></td><td width=\"72\"><p>17%</p></td><td width=\"84\"><p>27%</p></td><td width=\"80\"><p>(16%)</p></td></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"201\"><p>Trips Growth</p></td><td width=\"82\"><p>24%</p></td><td width=\"72\"><p>18%</p></td><td width=\"84\"><p>27%</p></td><td width=\"80\"><p>(27%)</p></td></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"201\"><p>Gross Bookings Growth</p></td><td width=\"82\"><p>33%</p></td><td width=\"72\"><p>35%</p></td><td width=\"84\"><p>56%</p></td><td width=\"80\"><p>(11%)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: Uber.

Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said that misclassification \"deprives workers of their federal labor protections, including their right to be paid their full, legally earned wages.\"Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and other gig economy companies had previously faced a similar assembly bill (AB5) in California, which they collectively countered with a ballot initiative called Proposition 22. Prop 22 was approved by the state's voters in late 2020 but subsequently ruled unconstitutional and unenforceable by a court in August 2021. Uber and its industry peers are appealing that ruling.The new Labor Department proposal represents an escalation of that state conflict on a federal level and would reverse a Trump administration ruling, which actually made it easier for companies to reclassify their workers as independent contractors. This certainly sounds like a major headache for Uber, which could see its margins crumble if it reclassified all its drivers as employees. But is the market overreacting to the news? Let's review the bear and bull cases to decide.What the bears will say about UberThe bears will point out that even though Uber classifies its millions of drivers as independent contractors, it hasn't ever been profitable on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis.PeriodQ2 2022Q1 2022FY 2021FY 2020Revenue$8.07 billion$6.85 billion$17.46 billion$11.14 billionNet Income($2.60 billion)($5.93 billion)($496 million)($6.77 billion)Data source: Uber.Analysts expect Uber's revenue to rise 79% to $31.32 billion this year, but for its net loss to widen to $8.85 billion -- partly due to its investment-related losses in companies like Grab, DiDi Global, Zomato, and Aurora -- followed by a narrower loss of $321 million in 2023. But if Uber still can't break even while mainly relying on lower-cost independent contractors, what happens if it's forced to reclassify those drivers as employees?In its latest 10-K filing, Uber says its business \"would be adversely affected\" if its drivers \"were classified as employees, workers or quasi-employees instead of independent contractors.\" It also said that classification was \"being challenged in courts, by legislators, and by government agencies in the United States and abroad.\" It was already forced to grant its U.K. drivers paid vacations, rest breaks, and a minimum wage while using the app last year -- and that ruling could spark similar rulings in other countries.What the bulls will say about UberThe bulls will point out that Uber's number of monthly active platform consumers (MAPCs), total trips, and gross bookings have all been growing rapidly since it suffered a temporary slowdown during the pandemic:PeriodQ2 2022Q1 2022FY 2021FY 2020MAPCs Growth21%17%27%(16%)Trips Growth24%18%27%(27%)Gross Bookings Growth33%35%56%(11%)Data source: Uber.

Analysts expect it to generate a positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.55 billion for the full year and for that figure to more than double to $3.25 billion in 2023 as it further reins in its spending.PeriodQ2 2022Q1 2022FY 2021FY 2020Adjusted EBITDA$364 million$168 million($774 million)($2.53 billion)Data source: Uber.As for the Labor Department proposal, Uber said its own drivers \"consistently and overwhelmingly\" prefer the \"unique flexibility\" of being independent contractors.

Another reason short-dated options have become so popular is risk management, said Benn Eifert, chief investment officer of the hedge-fund firm QVR Advisors, which uses complex derivatives strategies.\"Every market maker, large Wall Street bank and hedge fund like us uses short-dated options on a day-to-day basis to manage risk more precisely, \" said Mr. Eifert.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":856,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9912321960,"gmtCreate":1664759045650,"gmtModify":1676537503176,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good article","listText":"Good article","text":"Good article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9912321960","repostId":"1146116565","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":767,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9989241405,"gmtCreate":1666037740707,"gmtModify":1676537694311,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989241405","repostId":"1107586443","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":780,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989241740,"gmtCreate":1666037758781,"gmtModify":1676537694311,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989241740","repostId":"1198296248","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":915,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980594771,"gmtCreate":1665760536993,"gmtModify":1676537661347,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tq","listText":"Tq","text":"Tq","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9980594771","repostId":"1168021757","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168021757","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1665755672,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168021757?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-14 21:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Kroger Stock Falls on Albertsons Deal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168021757","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Kroger(KR) agreed to pay $34.10/share to buy rival Albertson's(ACI).Combined the companies have abou","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Kroger</b>(<b><u>KR</u></b>) agreed to pay $34.10/share to buy rival <b>Albertson's</b>(<b><u>ACI</u></b>).</li><li>Combined the companies have about 13% of the U.S. grocery market.</li><li>Albertson's opened on Oct. 14 at a 24% discount to the strike price.</li></ul><p><b>Kroger’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>KR</u></b>) stock fell about 3% in morning trade on Oct. 14 after it agreed to buy <b>Albertson’s Companies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>ACI</u></b>)for $24.6 billion.</p><p>Albertson’s was also down, but it had risen 11% on Oct. 13.</p><p>Kroger is valuing Albertson’s at $34.10/share.

A 2-year Treasury note now pays 4.3% (as of Oct. 12), a level that could induce some investors to choose bonds instead of stocks.</p><p>However, high-yield dividend stocks such as <b>AT&T</b> may still hold some appeal. Due to falling stock prices, AT&T's dividend returns significantly exceed that level. The question for income investors is whether they should take the guaranteed return of the bond or buy AT&T.</p><h2>The state of AT&T's payout</h2><p>AT&T may not seem particularly risky at first glance. It is one of only three nationwide 5G providers in the U.S. Since communication is a necessity, this lends itself to a stable business that can support a dividend, as it has for decades.</p><p>AT&T's current annual payout of $1.11 per share yields around 7.5% at current stock prices. This significantly exceeds returns paid by Treasuries and will likely induce some investors to generate passive income with this stock.</p><p>Nonetheless, this payout cost AT&T more than $5.8 billion in the first half of 2022. Unfortunately, this exceeds the free cash flow of $4.2 billion generated over the same period. AT&T reported $9.2 billion in free cash flow in the same period last year amid lower profits and rising capital expenditures.</p><p>Admittedly, the situation is likely not as dire as those numbers imply. Despite lowered free cash flow guidance, AT&T expects to generate around $14 billion in free cash flow for the year. That should cover the cost of the dividend.</p><h2>There are dividend dangers to consider</h2><p>Investors should also note that AT&T abandoned a 35-year streak of annual payout hikes in 2021. This is a mixed blessing as AT&T reduced its dividend expenses by nearly $2 billion compared with the same period in 2021. However, maintaining a 5G network is costly, and the company has spent $9.5 billion in the first half of 2022 alone on capital expenditures. Hence, any measure to cut costs should benefit shareholders.</p><p>Nonetheless, the annual payout hikes gave its dividend a measure of stability. AT&T held Dividend Aristocrat status until recently, and many income investors were likely staying in the stock for that reason. Following that cut, it has fallen by more than 30% from its 12-month high.</p><p>Aristocrat status is also significant because it brings payout hikes despite AT&T facing no legal requirement to continue the dividend. With that designation gone, the company now has more leeway to either cut the dividend again or eliminate it completely.</p><p>And a heavy debt burden makes another dividend cut possible. The company reduced its debt by divesting its underperforming DirecTV and the business now known as <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBD\">Warner Bros. Discovery</a></b>. Still, it holds about $136 billion in total debt, a level that may mean the dividend is still in danger.</p><h2>Should I choose AT&T over the Treasury?</h2><p>Investors looking for income should probably choose the Treasury note.

A 2-year Treasury note now pays 4.3% (as of Oct. 12), a level that could induce some investors to choose bonds instead of stocks.However, high-yield dividend stocks such as AT&T may still hold some appeal. Due to falling stock prices, AT&T's dividend returns significantly exceed that level. The question for income investors is whether they should take the guaranteed return of the bond or buy AT&T.The state of AT&T's payoutAT&T may not seem particularly risky at first glance. It is one of only three nationwide 5G providers in the U.S. Since communication is a necessity, this lends itself to a stable business that can support a dividend, as it has for decades.AT&T's current annual payout of $1.11 per share yields around 7.5% at current stock prices. This significantly exceeds returns paid by Treasuries and will likely induce some investors to generate passive income with this stock.Nonetheless, this payout cost AT&T more than $5.8 billion in the first half of 2022. Unfortunately, this exceeds the free cash flow of $4.2 billion generated over the same period. AT&T reported $9.2 billion in free cash flow in the same period last year amid lower profits and rising capital expenditures.Admittedly, the situation is likely not as dire as those numbers imply. Despite lowered free cash flow guidance, AT&T expects to generate around $14 billion in free cash flow for the year. That should cover the cost of the dividend.There are dividend dangers to considerInvestors should also note that AT&T abandoned a 35-year streak of annual payout hikes in 2021. This is a mixed blessing as AT&T reduced its dividend expenses by nearly $2 billion compared with the same period in 2021. However, maintaining a 5G network is costly, and the company has spent $9.5 billion in the first half of 2022 alone on capital expenditures. Hence, any measure to cut costs should benefit shareholders.Nonetheless, the annual payout hikes gave its dividend a measure of stability. AT&T held Dividend Aristocrat status until recently, and many income investors were likely staying in the stock for that reason. Following that cut, it has fallen by more than 30% from its 12-month high.Aristocrat status is also significant because it brings payout hikes despite AT&T facing no legal requirement to continue the dividend. With that designation gone, the company now has more leeway to either cut the dividend again or eliminate it completely.And a heavy debt burden makes another dividend cut possible. The company reduced its debt by divesting its underperforming DirecTV and the business now known as Warner Bros. Discovery. Still, it holds about $136 billion in total debt, a level that may mean the dividend is still in danger.Should I choose AT&T over the Treasury?Investors looking for income should probably choose the Treasury note. While AT&T currently offers a much higher cash return, income investing tends not to lend itself to risk. With AT&T's massive debt and capital expenditures, it may need to cut the dividend again so it can reduce its debt.Admittedly, it is unclear how much it would slash its payout if that were to occur, and a new payout level could still beat a bond return. However, like the last dividend cut, it may negatively impact the stock, increasing the likelihood of a negative return.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":684,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9915558906,"gmtCreate":1665088319405,"gmtModify":1676537553683,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks foe sharing","listText":"Thanks foe sharing","text":"Thanks foe sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9915558906","repostId":"2273050278","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":715,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9915671447,"gmtCreate":1665030313589,"gmtModify":1676537547237,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good article","listText":"Good article","text":"Good article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9915671447","repostId":"2273288208","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":856,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9912321960,"gmtCreate":1664759045650,"gmtModify":1676537503176,"author":{"id":"4126893166241612","authorId":"4126893166241612","name":"Cool65","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4126893166241612","authorIdStr":"4126893166241612"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good article","listText":"Good article","text":"Good article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9912321960","repostId":"1146116565","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":767,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
