Businesses in those places can bypass national limits by agreeing to a set of security and human rights standards, US officials said Sunday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Companies will have a 120-day comment period — which is exceptionally long — to give the Trump administration time to get settled in and make changes to the rule after consulting with industry and other countries, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told reporters ahead of the release.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Raimondo stressed that the Biden administration sought to strike a balance between protecting national security and allowing trade in chips to continue. Supply chain activities and gaming chips are excluded from the new curbs, she added. And Washington will waive licensing for the sale of chips with low collective computing power, such as to universities and research institutes.</p><p>“This is very hard, and no rule is perfect,” she said. “Managing the national security risks requires delicate tradeoffs that take all of this into account.”</p><p>China’s growing technological prowess has spurred concern in the US. The move to curb the sale of AI chips used in data centers on both a country and company basis has the goal of concentrating artificial intelligence development in friendly nations and getting businesses around the world to align with American standards, Bloomberg News previously reported. The Biden team discussed the measures with its successors, and one US official said export controls have largely been a bipartisan national security priority.</p><p>Similar to the rules for importing countries, companies in the US and nearly 20 allied countries can agree to US government standards and win permission to ship to the restricted nations.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">To get that approval, they’ll have to keep the majority of their computing power in friendly territories. The approval would not extend to data centers in China, Russia, Macau and some 20 other locations for which the US has an arms embargo.

Businesses in those places can bypass national limits by agreeing to a set of security and human rights standards, US officials said Sunday.Companies will have a 120-day comment period — which is exceptionally long — to give the Trump administration time to get settled in and make changes to the rule after consulting with industry and other countries, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told reporters ahead of the release.Raimondo stressed that the Biden administration sought to strike a balance between protecting national security and allowing trade in chips to continue. Supply chain activities and gaming chips are excluded from the new curbs, she added. And Washington will waive licensing for the sale of chips with low collective computing power, such as to universities and research institutes.“This is very hard, and no rule is perfect,” she said. “Managing the national security risks requires delicate tradeoffs that take all of this into account.”China’s growing technological prowess has spurred concern in the US. The move to curb the sale of AI chips used in data centers on both a country and company basis has the goal of concentrating artificial intelligence development in friendly nations and getting businesses around the world to align with American standards, Bloomberg News previously reported. The Biden team discussed the measures with its successors, and one US official said export controls have largely been a bipartisan national security priority.Similar to the rules for importing countries, companies in the US and nearly 20 allied countries can agree to US government standards and win permission to ship to the restricted nations.To get that approval, they’ll have to keep the majority of their computing power in friendly territories. The approval would not extend to data centers in China, Russia, Macau and some 20 other locations for which the US has an arms embargo. The US has effectively banned AI chip shipments to those places.The goal of the measures, which companies such as Nvidia and Oracle Corp. have warned could be catastrophic for the US tech industry, is to ensure that the global development of AI aligns with American standards and relies on US — not Chinese — technology.Gina Raimondo“It ensures that the infrastructure for training frontier AI, the most exquisite AI systems at the frontier, happens either in America or in the jurisdictions of our closest allies, and that that capacity does not get offshored like chips and batteries and other industries that we’ve had to invest hundreds of billion dollars to bring back onshore,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters.But companies and key lawmakers have warned that the restrictions could actually drive customers toward products from Chinese companies, including the blacklisted Huawei Technologies Co., if they are unable to purchase preferred American offerings or if the associated security requirements are too onerous.Nvidia Sees ‘Overreach’The Biden administration’s rule “threatens to squander America’s hard-won technological advantage” by “attempting to rig market outcomes and stifle competition,” Ned Finkle, Nvidia’s vice president of government affairs, said in a statement.“As the first Trump administration demonstrated, America wins through innovation, competition, and by sharing our technologies with the world — not by retreating behind a wall of government overreach,” Finkle said.Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell, the top Republican and Democrat on the Commerce Committee, made that argument in a December letter to Raimondo.“Such draconian restrictions would severely hinder the sale of US technology abroad and risk driving foreign buyers to Chinese competitors like Huawei,” they wrote.In a statement last week, ahead of the rule’s official publication, Cruz said that he would consider “every tool” — including the Congressional Review Act — to protect American industry from “unnecessary overreach.” The CRA allows Congress to overturn certain rules by executive agencies.Other lawmakers — including the bipartisan leaders of the House China Select Committee — favor the Biden administration’s approach.

Although some might think that the worst for the company is behind it, we believe that any potential upside is not worth opening a position at this stage. Super Micro still faces some major risks that in our opinion make its stock uninvestable right now.</p><h2 id=\"id_1730226959\">This Has Been A Rollercoaster</h2><p>After the impressive performance in the first half of 2024, Super Micro’s stock lost all of its momentum in the second half of the year and depreciated by over 50% in the last six months. The real troubles first started in late August when a popular research firm Hindenburg published a bearish report on the company. In the report, Hindenburg accused Super Micro of failing to comply with the sanctions and export controls and highlighted various governance-related issues. The report also stated that Super Micro is engaged in <em>continued proper revenue recognition</em>. This is something that the company was already doing in the past and it resulted in the delisting of its stock from Nasdaq in 2018 and a charge by the Security and Exchange Commission in 2020.</p><p>Shortly after the report was released, the U.S. Department of Justice opened a probe against the company that is still ongoing. After that, Super Micro’s auditor Ernst & Young resigned, which spooked the market and prevented the company from releasing its earnings report on time. This has led to Nasdaq sending Super Micro a non-compliance letter, which created a new delisting risk. Following all of that, Super Micro was also removed from the Nasdaq 100 and its stock continues to trade in a distressed territory.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6722ddfb7b5165bd704a94eed7e38fbd\" alt=\"Super Micro’s performance\" title=\"Super Micro’s performance\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"259\"/><span>Super Micro’s performance</span></p><p>The good thing for Super Micro in all of this is that Nasdaq extended the reporting time for the company, which now needs to release all the missing quarterly and annual filings by February 25, 2025. If that doesn’t happen, then we’ll likely see a delisting of its shares from the exchange like it was a few years ago.</p><p>However, even if there have been no wrongdoings and Super Micro overcomes all the current legal and regulatory challenges, the upside for its shares could still be limited.</p><p>Last month, the company already released its preliminary Q1 earnings results, which showed that its revenues are expected to be between $5.9 billion and $6 billion. This is below the Wall Street consensus of $6.79 billion and also below the company’s initial guidance of between $6 billion and $7 billion. If the final report for the period comes out with the same numbers, then the disappointing sales numbers along with the inability to reach its own forecast might indicate that Super Micro’s growth opportunities are limited.</p><p>From the publicly available reports, we know that Elon Musk’s xAI firm recently started to pull orders for the AI servers from Super Micro to Dell (DELL). It appears that Nvidia (NVDA) has been doing the same thing recently, while Citi (C) named Dell and HP Enterprise (HPE) as the biggest winners in this situation. Even Super Micro’s preliminary outlook for Q2 indicates that the company is expected to generate only between $5.5 billion and $6.1 billion in revenues, below the consensus of $6.79 billion. There are also reports that Super Micro is now looking to raise additional capital, which suggests that the company might have liquidity issues as orders are being canceled. This is why the company’s upside indeed could be limited even if Super Micro overcomes all the challenges that it currently faces.</p><h2 id=\"id_4134804721\">Potential Upside Ahead?</h2><p>There are still several positive things that need to be considered. After the accounting scandal happened, Super Micro launched an internal investigation, which found no misconduct. More importantly, Super Micro agreed with the recommendation of the committee behind the investigation to replace its CFO and said that it doesn’t expect any restatement of its previous earnings reports.</p><p>Super Micro has also hired BDO USA as its new auditor to review the company’s financial data and approve all the necessary earnings reports before February 25. If the reports come out on time, then Super Micro would likely be able to avoid delisting, which could give a boost to the share price despite the disappointing performance of the business in the recent quarter.</p><p>In addition, as the AI-server market is expected to grow by 55% and be worth $252 billion next year, Super Micro might have an opportunity to improve its performance next year and exceed the expectations that were recently given by the company along with the preliminary data. This could also boost the share price next year.</p><h2 id=\"id_2218143786\">The Real Value of Super Micro Computer</h2><p>When it comes to valuing Super Micro, we used the currently available data that the company previously reported due to the lack of alternatives. This is something that investors need to keep in mind in light of the recent accounting scandal.</p><p>The tax rate in our model is 15%, which is below the current corporate tax rate in the United States. Given that under the Trump administration we could see another tax reform that lowers corporate taxes, we believe that it makes sense to use a rate that’s lower than today’s standard rate when forecasting the company’s performance for the next few years. The perpetual growth rate is 3%, which is similar to the historical GDP and inflation rate. We value Super Micro when it’s trading at $31.59 per share and the cash and long-term debt data was taken from the latest available earnings report.</p><p>The discount rate in the model is 7.89%. We arrived at that rate by calculating Super Micro’s after-tax cost of debt using mostly its TTM data, and the cost of equity. For the cost of equity calculation, we used the risk-free rate of 4.40%, beta of 1.28, and the market return rate of 7.69%. We then weighted the company’s debt and equity to arrive at our discount rate.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a987e0d40ca26fc2c7ef3eb9271b03d3\" alt=\"Super Micro Computer’s valuation model\" title=\"Super Micro Computer’s valuation model\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"181\"/><span>Super Micro Computer’s valuation model</span></p><p>In the forecast table below, our sales and EBIT assumptions are mostly similar to the overall consensus for the next couple of years. After that, we expect a gradual normalization of growth rates across the semiconductor industry to more stable levels once the chip capacity issues caused by AI-related demand are resolved. The bottom part of the forecast table mostly aligns with Super Micro’s historical performance and doesn’t have a significant impact on the FCF calculation.</p><p>With all of those assumptions, our valuation model shows that Super Micro’s enterprise value is $18.91 billion, which is close to Seeking Alpha's enterprise value estimates. We then calculated Super Micro’s equity value by adding cash to the enterprise value and subtracting the long-term debt. In our case, Super Micro’s equity value is $18.80 billion. We then dividend the company’s equity value by the number of its outstanding shares and figured out that Super Micro’s intrinsic value is $29.28 per share, which is below but also fairly close to the current market price at the time of this writing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0974837dafcedfd5e245c0d9cc5b4280\" alt=\"Super Micro Computer’s valuation model\" title=\"Super Micro Computer’s valuation model\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"228\"/><span>Super Micro Computer’s valuation model</span></p><h2 id=\"id_3934436656\">Final Thoughts</h2><p>Our valuation model clearly shows that even if all the previously reported numbers are correct and the current outlook along with the street assumptions are realistic, Super Micro’s stock is still not a good investment. As the AI hype train appears to be losing steam while the number of growth opportunities is limited, giving Super Micro a rating of SELL is the most appropriate thing to do right now.</p><p>We also think that there are much better semiconductor names on the market right now that are not in the middle of an accounting scandal. In our opinion, long-term investors should rather look for them than bet on a speculative play like Super Micro, which already lost more than half of its value in the last six months.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1728464409321","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>Super Micro Computer: The Stock That's Doomed To Fail</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSuper Micro Computer: The Stock That's Doomed To Fail\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-12-24 17:38 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4746111-super-micro-computer-the-stock-thats-doomed-to-fail><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummarySuper Micro Computer lost more than half of its value in the last six months.The company is currently in the middle of an accounting scandal that could result in the delisting of its stock from...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4746111-super-micro-computer-the-stock-thats-doomed-to-fail\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SMCI":"超微电脑"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4746111-super-micro-computer-the-stock-thats-doomed-to-fail","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1181162347","content_text":"SummarySuper Micro Computer lost more than half of its value in the last six months.The company is currently in the middle of an accounting scandal that could result in the delisting of its stock from Nasdaq.Even if Super Micro Computer overcomes all the current challenges that it faces, its upside could still be limited because of the recent poor performance of its business.The accounting scandal that began a few months ago has tarnished Super Micro Computer’s stock, which is currently trading close to its 52-week lows.

After that, Super Micro’s auditor Ernst & Young resigned, which spooked the market and prevented the company from releasing its earnings report on time. This has led to Nasdaq sending Super Micro a non-compliance letter, which created a new delisting risk. Following all of that, Super Micro was also removed from the Nasdaq 100 and its stock continues to trade in a distressed territory.Super Micro’s performanceThe good thing for Super Micro in all of this is that Nasdaq extended the reporting time for the company, which now needs to release all the missing quarterly and annual filings by February 25, 2025. If that doesn’t happen, then we’ll likely see a delisting of its shares from the exchange like it was a few years ago.However, even if there have been no wrongdoings and Super Micro overcomes all the current legal and regulatory challenges, the upside for its shares could still be limited.Last month, the company already released its preliminary Q1 earnings results, which showed that its revenues are expected to be between $5.9 billion and $6 billion. This is below the Wall Street consensus of $6.79 billion and also below the company’s initial guidance of between $6 billion and $7 billion. If the final report for the period comes out with the same numbers, then the disappointing sales numbers along with the inability to reach its own forecast might indicate that Super Micro’s growth opportunities are limited.From the publicly available reports, we know that Elon Musk’s xAI firm recently started to pull orders for the AI servers from Super Micro to Dell (DELL). It appears that Nvidia (NVDA) has been doing the same thing recently, while Citi (C) named Dell and HP Enterprise (HPE) as the biggest winners in this situation. Even Super Micro’s preliminary outlook for Q2 indicates that the company is expected to generate only between $5.5 billion and $6.1 billion in revenues, below the consensus of $6.79 billion. There are also reports that Super Micro is now looking to raise additional capital, which suggests that the company might have liquidity issues as orders are being canceled. This is why the company’s upside indeed could be limited even if Super Micro overcomes all the challenges that it currently faces.Potential Upside Ahead?There are still several positive things that need to be considered. After the accounting scandal happened, Super Micro launched an internal investigation, which found no misconduct. More importantly, Super Micro agreed with the recommendation of the committee behind the investigation to replace its CFO and said that it doesn’t expect any restatement of its previous earnings reports.Super Micro has also hired BDO USA as its new auditor to review the company’s financial data and approve all the necessary earnings reports before February 25. If the reports come out on time, then Super Micro would likely be able to avoid delisting, which could give a boost to the share price despite the disappointing performance of the business in the recent quarter.In addition, as the AI-server market is expected to grow by 55% and be worth $252 billion next year, Super Micro might have an opportunity to improve its performance next year and exceed the expectations that were recently given by the company along with the preliminary data. This could also boost the share price next year.The Real Value of Super Micro ComputerWhen it comes to valuing Super Micro, we used the currently available data that the company previously reported due to the lack of alternatives. This is something that investors need to keep in mind in light of the recent accounting scandal.The tax rate in our model is 15%, which is below the current corporate tax rate in the United States. Given that under the Trump administration we could see another tax reform that lowers corporate taxes, we believe that it makes sense to use a rate that’s lower than today’s standard rate when forecasting the company’s performance for the next few years. The perpetual growth rate is 3%, which is similar to the historical GDP and inflation rate. We value Super Micro when it’s trading at $31.59 per share and the cash and long-term debt data was taken from the latest available earnings report.The discount rate in the model is 7.89%. We arrived at that rate by calculating Super Micro’s after-tax cost of debt using mostly its TTM data, and the cost of equity. For the cost of equity calculation, we used the risk-free rate of 4.40%, beta of 1.28, and the market return rate of 7.69%. We then weighted the company’s debt and equity to arrive at our discount rate.Super Micro Computer’s valuation modelIn the forecast table below, our sales and EBIT assumptions are mostly similar to the overall consensus for the next couple of years. After that, we expect a gradual normalization of growth rates across the semiconductor industry to more stable levels once the chip capacity issues caused by AI-related demand are resolved. The bottom part of the forecast table mostly aligns with Super Micro’s historical performance and doesn’t have a significant impact on the FCF calculation.With all of those assumptions, our valuation model shows that Super Micro’s enterprise value is $18.91 billion, which is close to Seeking Alpha's enterprise value estimates. We then calculated Super Micro’s equity value by adding cash to the enterprise value and subtracting the long-term debt. In our case, Super Micro’s equity value is $18.80 billion. We then dividend the company’s equity value by the number of its outstanding shares and figured out that Super Micro’s intrinsic value is $29.28 per share, which is below but also fairly close to the current market price at the time of this writing.Super Micro Computer’s valuation modelFinal ThoughtsOur valuation model clearly shows that even if all the previously reported numbers are correct and the current outlook along with the street assumptions are realistic, Super Micro’s stock is still not a good investment. As the AI hype train appears to be losing steam while the number of growth opportunities is limited, giving Super Micro a rating of SELL is the most appropriate thing to do right now.We also think that there are much better semiconductor names on the market right now that are not in the middle of an accounting scandal. In our opinion, long-term investors should rather look for them than bet on a speculative play like Super Micro, which already lost more than half of its value in the last six months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377908085366928,"gmtCreate":1733292241335,"gmtModify":1733292907482,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"He has lost his underwear shorting SMCI , writing article to try recovering what he has lost","listText":"He has lost his underwear shorting SMCI , writing article to try recovering what he has lost","text":"He has lost his underwear shorting SMCI , writing article to try recovering what he has lost","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377908085366928","repostId":"1199304506","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199304506","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1733283900,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199304506?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-12-04 11:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Super Micro Computer: You're Gambling If You Buy This, Not Investing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199304506","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummarySMCI's recent auditor resignation, and ongoing DoJ investigation make it a highly risky investment despite a recent short-term price surge.SMCI's past issues include NASDAQ delisting, SEC fines","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 id=\"id_2210350387\">Summary</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>SMCI's recent auditor resignation, and ongoing DoJ investigation make it a highly risky investment despite a recent short-term price surge.</p></li><li><p>SMCI's past issues include NASDAQ delisting, SEC fines, which all raise serious concerns about its financial integrity.</p></li><li><p>The appointment of BDO as the new auditor offers some hope but doesn't eliminate the significant risks and unresolved issues identified by Ernst & Young.</p></li><li><p>Investing in SMCI now is more akin to gambling than smart investing due to the high level of unknowns and potential for severe negative outcomes.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d0dd59825e09cdca1d96afc5c7f9a0d1\" alt=\"SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images\" title=\"SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\"/><span>SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images</span></p><h2 id=\"id_2160079058\">Introduction</h2><p>I mostly like to talk about buying opportunities here on Seeking Alpha, but I've noted that a lot of people have been buying Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) recently, post the news that they appointed BDO as auditor.</p><p>Despite this appointment having some potential good news and a sign of hope, there's way too many unknowns and risk factors that, as investors on the outside, we just don't know the answers to.

This drop came after Ernst & Young (SMCI's auditor) resigned on October 24th.

Companies get delisted for many reasons, however the 3 main reasons are:</p><ol start=\"1\" style=\"\"><li><p>Voluntary delisting.</p></li><li><p>Falling below a certain market cap or $1.00 stock price.</p></li><li><p>Accounting issues/missed deadlines.</p></li></ol><p>Reason 3 is exactly why SMCI got delisted, and it tends to be the least common and perhaps most serious due to the internal inefficiencies. NASDAQ generally does have fairly long "grace periods" meaning SMCI failed to comply with the extended NASDAQ deadlines, something which has not happened to a company of SMCI's size in a long time.</p><h3 id=\"id_37544222\">Fine</h3><p>In 2020, SMCI paid a $17.5 million fine to the SEC for accounting violations in which they neither admitted nor denied the SEC findings. The violations were due to incorrect revenue recognition, understating expenses, and other accounting violations over a period of 3 years.</p><p>Arguably a one-off instance like this would not cause too much panic, but the continuous nature of this raises skepticism.</p><h3 id=\"id_1199563137\">Department of Justice</h3><p>On top of all this negativity, SMCI has an ongoing DoJ (Department of Justice) probe which is looking into accounting violations. DoJ probes are a big deal and are likely to have an overarching effect on the SMCI stock price even if all of all the other unknowns start to become more clear.</p><p>As I mentioned before with the Hindenburg research, we have to take their report with a pinch of salt since they are a short-seller after all. However, an investigation by the DoJ is much more serious and anything that comes up in that investigation will materially affect SMCI's future.</p><h3 id=\"id_494708400\">BDO Appointment</h3><p>The positive news after all of this is that SMCI managed to appoint BDO (the 5th largest accounting firm) after all of the above incidents, which has to be a win because it gives them hope to at least restore investor confidence, and prepare some financial statements. That's all the good news I can say about this though.</p><p>The bad news is that BDO isn't a big 4 company that SMCI would have appointed. BDO also has had poor results over recent years in terms of audit quality. To put it simply, SMCI would not have wanted to appoint an auditor outside of the Big 4. It's a shame that this is the way it is, but for a company in the S&P 500, Big 4 auditors are by far the most common. Unless there's a good reason not to appoint a Big 4 auditor, S&P 500 companies simply look a bit more questionable if they don't have a Big 4 company auditing them.</p><p>The other important thing to note is that even though SMCI has appointed a BDO, initial screening or conversations with EY (previous auditor) have not occurred. This was all disclosed in the 8-K but obviously wasn't part of the headlines. Simply what is happening is that BDO are the only company to at least consider looking at the SMCI books in the hope that everything is ok, and therefore they potentially have one of the biggest clients on the books.</p><p>In my opinion, realistically, the issues that EY found won't have been resolved and BDO will also likely find these issues, meaning they'll not sign off.</p><p>Let me take this even further. A first year audit takes a long time. It includes getting a very solid understanding of the company, the internal controls, previous period's numbers etc., etc. In my opinion, the entire process likely cannot happen before February 2025, which is when NASDAQ has granted a filing extension until.</p><p>If the BDO does manage to get all this work done, and assuming there's no issues found (unlikely in my opinion), there is still a chance of secondary reviews by regulators.</p><h2 id=\"id_4231930187\">So is SMCI a buy, sell, or hold?</h2><p>SMCI has performed well the last 3 weeks post appointment of auditor, BDO, plus a short squeeze. Whilst the share price shows some potential signs of recovery, I hope this article made it clear exactly how much risk there still is.</p><p>SMCI still has to get BDO to audit their financials by February without any findings, a potential secondary review, and also get through the DoJ investigation to essentially survive. If any of these come back with material findings, I think there's a very good chance that SMCI gets delisted, which will, of course, have material consequences for all investors.</p><p>Of course, I may be wrong here, and I may be overly worried about the legitimacy of the financials, but when there's hundreds and if not thousands of other stocks without any risk of these issues, I don't see why it's worth risking an investment into SMCI.</p><p>My overall take is that I'd give it a 50:50 chance as to whether SMCI recovers and, in my opinion, investing in them is much more gambling, rather than data driven, educated, smart investing.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1728464409321","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Companies get delisted for many reasons, however the 3 main reasons are:Voluntary delisting.Falling below a certain market cap or $1.00 stock price.Accounting issues/missed deadlines.Reason 3 is exactly why SMCI got delisted, and it tends to be the least common and perhaps most serious due to the internal inefficiencies.

DoJ probes are a big deal and are likely to have an overarching effect on the SMCI stock price even if all of all the other unknowns start to become more clear.As I mentioned before with the Hindenburg research, we have to take their report with a pinch of salt since they are a short-seller after all. However, an investigation by the DoJ is much more serious and anything that comes up in that investigation will materially affect SMCI's future.BDO AppointmentThe positive news after all of this is that SMCI managed to appoint BDO (the 5th largest accounting firm) after all of the above incidents, which has to be a win because it gives them hope to at least restore investor confidence, and prepare some financial statements. That's all the good news I can say about this though.The bad news is that BDO isn't a big 4 company that SMCI would have appointed.

Whilst the share price shows some potential signs of recovery, I hope this article made it clear exactly how much risk there still is.SMCI still has to get BDO to audit their financials by February without any findings, a potential secondary review, and also get through the DoJ investigation to essentially survive. If any of these come back with material findings, I think there's a very good chance that SMCI gets delisted, which will, of course, have material consequences for all investors.Of course, I may be wrong here, and I may be overly worried about the legitimacy of the financials, but when there's hundreds and if not thousands of other stocks without any risk of these issues, I don't see why it's worth risking an investment into SMCI.My overall take is that I'd give it a 50:50 chance as to whether SMCI recovers and, in my opinion, investing in them is much more gambling, rather than data driven, educated, smart investing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":612,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377538521997400,"gmtCreate":1733211641273,"gmtModify":1733211644873,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"He will ask President to fire the Judge","listText":"He will ask President to fire the Judge","text":"He will ask President to fire the Judge","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377538521997400","repostId":"2488693392","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2488693392","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1032215980","head_image":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4567337cbdf294b657b1fa87c5488b48"},"pubTimestamp":1733211000,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2488693392?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-12-03 15:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Is Next for Musk After Judge Rules Against Him in Tesla Pay Case?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2488693392","media":"Reuters","summary":"WILMINGTON, Delaware, Dec 2 - Tesla cannot give Elon Musk a $56 billion compensation package despite a vote in support of the CEO's pay deal by the company's shareholders, a Delaware judge ruled on Monday.Below is a look at what could come next for Tesla and its billionaire founder, who is still seeking a huge payday from the company:WHAT DOES MUSK WANT?Tesla could offer Musk the same 304 million stock options with the same $23.34 exercise price used in the 2018 plan.

In terms of sales, the market anticipates $129.1B which reflects sales growth YoY of 112%, so Nvidia is projected to continue to grow its profits at a quicker pace than its sales.</p><p>Since Nvidia's stock is presently changing hands for $136, the valuation implies a 2024 profit multiple of 46x. With profits again anticipated to grow 50% next year, the leading 2025 profit multiple decreases to 31x.</p><p><strong>Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I think that Nvidia is not necessarily cheap here with a leading profit multiple of 31x, but the semiconductor company has rarely been a real bargain.</p><p>Nvidia's stock is also considerable more expensive than Advanced Micro Devices, but AMD does not have a Blackwell chip, which, according to Nvidia, is already sold out.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/130621f85f0ca690125b7eb233fa73af\" alt=\"Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)\" title=\"Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"195\"/><span>Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)</span></p><h2 id=\"id_1380281184\">Why The Investment Thesis Might Be Wrong</h2><p>The investment thesis hinges primarily on the assumption that demand for GPUs will remain sky-high, and that companies will continue to allocate large chunks of their capital budgets to the purchase of AI-capable GPUs.</p><p>If those companies, which are mostly the biggest tech companies in the world, like Microsoft and Google, fail to achieve an adequate ROI on their investments, we could possibly see a retracement in spending on GPUs. Such a retracement could do considerable damage to Nvidia's margins and valuation.</p><h2 id=\"id_1872216251\">My Conclusion</h2><p>Nvidia's 1Q25 earnings were great on a variety of fronts, but investors seem to display some kind of fatigue, which translates into lackluster interest in the semiconductor company despite robust results.</p><p>Nvidia did well in terms of sales, gross margins and profits, and the earnings presentation painted the picture of a company that is moving forward on all fronts, particularly in data centers. Nvidia's profit growth is something that I was particularly impressed by, as its profits grew even quicker than its sales. Nvidia is seeing a deceleration of its sales growth right now, which might explain why Nvidia's stock dipped after earnings.</p><p>With that said, the long-term trajectory of Nvidia favors the company greatly and with the Blackwell GB200 AI servers shipping in the fourth quarter, I think Nvidia has a catalyst for sales and profit growth in 2025 that the market ultimately will want to reward.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1728464409321","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>Nvidia: Why I Am Doubling Down On The Drop</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNvidia: Why I Am Doubling Down On The Drop\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-11-30 11:00 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4741066-nvidia-stock-why-doubling-down-on-drop><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNvidia's 1Q25 earnings beat expectations, but investor fatigue led to a muted stock response, creating a buying opportunity for long-term investors.NVDA's sales nearly doubled YoY, driven by ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4741066-nvidia-stock-why-doubling-down-on-drop\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4741066-nvidia-stock-why-doubling-down-on-drop","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1154285819","content_text":"SummaryNvidia's 1Q25 earnings beat expectations, but investor fatigue led to a muted stock response, creating a buying opportunity for long-term investors.NVDA's sales nearly doubled YoY, driven by strong data center GPU demand, with profits growing even faster than sales.The upcoming Blackwell-themed data center GPU launch in Q4 is expected to be a significant catalyst for Nvidia's sales and profit growth in 2025.Despite a slight deceleration in sales growth, the Company's long-term prospects remain strong, supported by robust demand for AI-capable GPUs and high gross margins.BING-JHEN HONGEarnings for Nvidia Corp.

This level should provide considerable support, however, and I would consider doubling down at this price level.Moving Averages (Stockcharts.com)How Cheap Is Nvidia?The market models $2.95 per share in profits for Nvidia in 2024, which reflects 127% profit growth YoY. In terms of sales, the market anticipates $129.1B which reflects sales growth YoY of 112%, so Nvidia is projected to continue to grow its profits at a quicker pace than its sales.Since Nvidia's stock is presently changing hands for $136, the valuation implies a 2024 profit multiple of 46x. With profits again anticipated to grow 50% next year, the leading 2025 profit multiple decreases to 31x.Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is selling for profit multiples of 41x (2024) and 27x (2025) and I just explained why AMD is a gift at its present price. I think that Nvidia is not necessarily cheap here with a leading profit multiple of 31x, but the semiconductor company has rarely been a real bargain.Nvidia's stock is also considerable more expensive than Advanced Micro Devices, but AMD does not have a Blackwell chip, which, according to Nvidia, is already sold out.Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)Why The Investment Thesis Might Be WrongThe investment thesis hinges primarily on the assumption that demand for GPUs will remain sky-high, and that companies will continue to allocate large chunks of their capital budgets to the purchase of AI-capable GPUs.If those companies, which are mostly the biggest tech companies in the world, like Microsoft and Google, fail to achieve an adequate ROI on their investments, we could possibly see a retracement in spending on GPUs. Such a retracement could do considerable damage to Nvidia's margins and valuation.My ConclusionNvidia's 1Q25 earnings were great on a variety of fronts, but investors seem to display some kind of fatigue, which translates into lackluster interest in the semiconductor company despite robust results.Nvidia did well in terms of sales, gross margins and profits, and the earnings presentation painted the picture of a company that is moving forward on all fronts, particularly in data centers. Nvidia's profit growth is something that I was particularly impressed by, as its profits grew even quicker than its sales. Nvidia is seeing a deceleration of its sales growth right now, which might explain why Nvidia's stock dipped after earnings.With that said, the long-term trajectory of Nvidia favors the company greatly and with the Blackwell GB200 AI servers shipping in the fourth quarter, I think Nvidia has a catalyst for sales and profit growth in 2025 that the market ultimately will want to reward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":277,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370950969823600,"gmtCreate":1731603359102,"gmtModify":1731603364373,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That's the spirit [Strong] Fa Da Cai [Eye] ","listText":"That's the spirit [Strong] Fa Da Cai [Eye] ","text":"That's the spirit [Strong] Fa Da Cai [Eye]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370950969823600","repostId":"1165124291","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1165124291","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1731599503,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165124291?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-11-14 23:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Super Micro Computer: I Am Greedy While Others Are Fearful","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165124291","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummarySuper Micro Computer is significantly undervalued due to highly likely exaggerated fears of accounting manipulations and the reported DOJ investigation, presenting a strong buying opportunity.D","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 id=\"id_1975904538\">Summary</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Super Micro Computer is significantly undervalued due to highly likely exaggerated fears of accounting manipulations and the reported DOJ investigation, presenting a strong buying opportunity.</p></li><li><p>Despite reputational challenges, SMCI's partnerships with NVIDIA and AMD affirm its credibility and operational integrity, bolstering confidence in its financial reports.</p></li><li><p>Preliminary FQ1 2025 results show robust revenue growth and improved margins, driven by strong AI GPU platform demand, indicating solid business fundamentals.</p></li><li><p>Valuation analysis suggests a fair share price of $90, highlighting substantial upside potential from current levels, making SMCI a compelling opportunity.</p></li></ul><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e678235f3d3a4c30f6900e649543eed9\" alt=\"Supermicro headquarters in San Jose, California, USA\" title=\"Supermicro headquarters in San Jose, California, USA\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\"/><span>Supermicro headquarters in San Jose, California, USA</span></p><h2 id=\"id_392237773\">Introduction</h2><p>Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) is still dropping, and is five times cheaper than its March 2024 peak.

I might be missing something, but Nvidia and AMD appear to be companies with flawless reputations. Thus, it is highly unlikely that Jensen Huang or Lisa Su would risk their reputations by supporting collaboration with a company with questionable integrity or operational practices. There is also a separate page on Intel's website dedicated to endorse SMCI's offerings.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e915ca85bac0b07cb94d9f717e09bebb\" alt=\"SA\" title=\"SA\" tg-width=\"617\" tg-height=\"311\"/><span>SA</span></p><p></p><p>Therefore, I consider the preliminary earnings announcement as trustworthy.

The web of contracts and subsidies that bind his empire to government largess have not prevented him from inserting himself into America’s fraught politics — and, depending on the outcome, ever more deeply into the fabric of society and national security.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Billionaires, corporate titans and anyone else with financial interests on the line rarely offer their wealth and time gratis. So what is Musk after, and what potential conflicts of interest arise when someone with such broad influence throws himself into one of the most consequential elections in US history?<br/><br/>After all, the man behind Tesla Inc., X Corp., Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and a host of other companies isn’t simply campaigning for the man who might be president again. Musk may also join a potential second Trump administration.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">While the boundaries between business and politics in the US have always been malleable, for better and worse, Musk’s roles and reach raise unprecedented questions about self-dealing and the evaporation of ethical, legal and financial guidelines meant to protect the public interest and good government.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Consider Musk’s sway, built over an undeniably remarkable career. Tesla brought electric vehicles into the mainstream, forcing the legacy automobile industry to play catch-up. SpaceX made the US competitive again in the commercial rocket business. Starlink, a SpaceX subsidiary, offers a satellite-based communication network that spans the globe. X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, still shapes public opinion with a keystroke, despite its pell-mell management and transformation into a font of disinformation and muck under Musk.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/907a12919c6d10914e01479084381f09\" tg-width=\"680\" tg-height=\"383\"/></p><p>Musk’s foothold in Trump’s orbit could add direct policymaking power to his business portfolio — giving him a say on public finances and an opportunity to bring his special brand of “moving fast and breaking things” to the foundations of popular programs such as Social Security and Medicare.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk treads a well-worn path; his mix of innovation, industrial heft, penchant for racist conspiracy theories and overt eccentricities recall the likes of Henry Ford and Howard Hughes.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">What distinguishes him is the sheer scale of his contribution, encompassing not just well over $100 million of donations but also free promotion on X, and much of his own time — including high-profile appearances at Trump rallies. His spending on behalf of Trump — particularly $1 million “prize” offerings — has made him a target of law enforcement. Musk is also adding a personal touch to his influence peddling. He’s marrying his control of critical technologies to his erratic, combative persona; a combustible mix that could be supercharged by formal political power should Trump reclaim the presidency after Tuesday’s election.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk’s and Trump’s respective ascendancies could hardly be any different, with one a self-made immigrant and Silicon Valley billionaire and the other a boom-and-bust self-promoter who inherited a New York real estate fortune. There are also striking similarities that explain their bond and shared interests. Both inspire cult-like devotion that renders them seemingly immune to consequences. Each possesses colossal self-assurance and contempt for institutions and norms. They are also thoroughly transactional, not least in their willingness to set aside prior slights and seemingly irreconcilable differences that once left them at odds. Above all, they both have vested interests in the powers, protections and resources of the federal government.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk, unfazed by his lack of experience in public office, could run a new Department of Government Efficiency that would attempt to tear out $2 trillion of a roughly $6.8 trillion federal budget. Reality might intrude, however. Congress, not the president, typically establishes new federal departments. Musk’s myriad financial and political conflicts might also make it impossible for him to secure Congress’ blessing to run any agency.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">But Musk doesn’t necessarily need an agency or a title to have influence in a Trump White House. He’s almost certain to remain a powerful consiglieri should Trump win, someone with easy access who can shape legislation and the Oval Office’s agenda. His major companies would obviously benefit from his proximity to Trump, as any tour of his portfolio reveals. (Musk and his companies didn’t answer requests for comment for this column.)</p><h3 id=\"id_611757874\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Tesla wants an autonomous future</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tesla is a pioneer of an energy transition that Trump decries as a scam. Musk laid out his original “master plan” for Tesla 18 years ago: To foster a move toward a solar electric economy by mainstreaming electric vehicles. The initial breakthrough came in 2012 with the launch of the Model S, a luxury electric sedan that proved EVs could be cool and compete with traditional cars. With Musk as chief executive officer, Tesla has become the most valuable auto company in the world by far, with a market value of almost $800 billion, and the biggest seller of battery EVs worldwide. In the US, its charging network has become the de facto standard for the EV industry.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">While Musk’s vision and knack for raising capital were critical during long years of losses, so too was government help. The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office lent Tesla $465 million at a critical moment in 2010, since repaid. Above all, consumer tax credits have been crucial in reducing the upfront price for EV adopters, with President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act allowing a federal $7,500 credit to be given at the point of sale. The IRA also established generous credits for batteries and other clean technology manufactured in the US.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Even now, with Tesla making close to 2 million EVs annually and holding $20 billion of net cash on its balance sheet, an analysis published in March by Evercore ISI, an investment bank, implied about 40% of the company’s estimated operating profit<strong> </strong>this year would consist of credits enabled by the IRA. Bear that in mind when Musk lambastes government spending.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Given all this, it might seem odd for Musk to team up with a candidate promising to undo Biden’s green subsidies. But this misses an important shift in Tesla’s investment story over the past two years. Its EV sales have stalled, with analysts expecting an outright decline this year (Tesla says otherwise.) Instead, the stock price is now held aloft by Musk’s vision of autonomous “robotaxis” and humanoid robots.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f1cf0fca3bbe83ca93fc9c6596d184e5\" alt=\"Robotaxi\" title=\"Robotaxi\" tg-width=\"1236\" tg-height=\"824\"/><span>Robotaxi</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tesla has relied on the government for subsidies in its EV business. Robotaxis are a different matter. The company would prefer that the government leave that business alone.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tesla’s approach to autonomous vehicles has involved upselling advanced driver assistance features on the premise that, eventually, these will reach a level of sophistication so the vehicles can simply drive themselves. Drivers are essentially beta testing these systems on public roads, gathering millions of miles of data to train Tesla’s autonomous vehicle software — with all the risks this entails, especially given the unrealistic expectations set by product names such as Autopilot and Full Self Driving. Since Musk has set and missed repeated deadlines for the launch of autonomous Teslas, the company needs much more time. Yet a series of accidents involving vehicles using these systems, some fatal, have prompted lawsuits and a recent intensification of scrutiny by federal bodies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk’s mere proximity to any future Trump Oval Office could cause federal agencies to think twice about upsetting a presidential ally who has the potential to influence budgets and appointments. Musk could certainly use one specific government break: lifting the NHTSA cap on how many vehicles a company can deploy annually, with permission, that don’t have steering wheels and pedals. That cap stands at 2,500, but Musk aspires to produce millions of these so-called cybercabs. Raising the cap would require Congress to act, but Trump might help secure that from an obedient Republican majority.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A formal Cabinet role for Musk requiring Senate confirmation looks unlikely, not least because he would almost certainly have to resign as Tesla’s CEO and possibly dispose of his shareholdings à la Hank Paulson, who sold his Goldman Sachs Group Inc. stock when he became Treasury secretary in 2006. Resigning as CEO might be acceptable to investors given Musk’s hold over his companies and Tesla’s historically supine board, but a forced sale of his 12.8% stake would be financially catastrophic. When he dumped part of his stake in 2022 during the Twitter acquisition, Tesla’s share price dived. (The same question would arise about his holdings in companies including SpaceX and X, too, though a more acceptable alternative could be putting them all in a blind trust, as Trump did with his corporate interests during his presidency.)</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">On the other hand, while a part-time advisory or commission role would represent another distraction for Musk, investors in Tesla (and his other companies) might view it as an advantage given his potential ability to influence regulation and policy.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He could blunt attacks on EVs, for example, which still provide the vast majority of Tesla’s cash flow. John Paulson, the hedge-fund billionaire angling to run the Treasury Department in a Trump Cabinet, envisages working with Musk to dismantle IRA subsidies. In that position, Musk could potentially steer any such cuts away from EVs and toward, say, renewable energy — or, in a grim irony, the Loan Programs Office that once helped nurture Tesla and is now squarely in the sights of Republicans for cuts.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That’s easier said than done, however. There is an additional layer of protection for cleantech subsidies: The vast majority of IRA-inspired jobs and investment dollars are flowing to red districts, prompting second thoughts from GOP House members about outright repeal.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">EV subsidies would be safe in the event of a Trump loss, of course, but a Harris administration poses other risks. While a Democratic White House wouldn’t touch the IRA, it also wouldn’t restrain the agencies policing robotaxis. Perhaps the most significant difference would be that Harris’ team would be less likely to take Musk’s calls.</p><h3 id=\"id_815297160\" style=\"text-align: start;\">SpaceX rules — with or without Trump</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">SpaceX, the privately held rocket developer in which Musk is the CEO and largest shareholder, is where his empire intersects most clearly with the public interest — and national security. The company dominates space transportation, has revitalized the US aerospace industry and is indispensable to the federal government.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Its pivotal innovation was developing reusable rockets to sharply cut launch costs, born of Musk’s dream of traveling to — and eventually occupying — Mars. In 2002, he bet part of his fortune from early entrepreneurial successes, including Paypal Holdings Inc., on SpaceX, weathering several failures to finally notch his first successful launch in 2008. NASA was an early and crucial partner, providing contracts, expertise and crews.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The tide really turned in SpaceX’s favor in 2014 when NASA chose it and Boeing Co. to carry astronauts to the International Space Station, which would finally break the agency’s dependence on Russian rockets. The company retrieved its first rocket booster the next year and now boasts the world’s most flown rocket in the Falcon 9.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Although SpaceX received a smaller initial contract than Boeing, Musk’s company has taken astronauts to the space station on several missions while Boeing has yet to fulfill its contract amid well-publicized stumbles.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In 2019, SpaceX launched its first group of 60 satellites into low-Earth orbit, marking the beginning of Starlink, which now has more than 6,000 satellites that provide high-speed internet almost anywhere, including to vehicles on the move such as RVs, aircraft and ships. Designed for consumers, it has become invaluable to governments during disasters and in war zones. Musk is also launching secured satellites to create a network called Starshield that’s specifically for governments.<br/><br/>All this has made SpaceX a vital contractor to the US government, including its military and intelligence agencies, as well as to nations around the world, giving Musk unprecedented access to and leverage with officials.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Starlink has provided internet services to war-torn Ukraine, but Musk has also clashed with its government after curtailing the service to prevent an attack on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in occupied Crimea. Musk, according to a biography, was concerned that the operation would provoke a Russian nuclear strike. Meanwhile, the US Federal Emergency Management Agency has used Starlink to provide communications in areas hit by Hurricane Helene.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">There has been alarm over Musk’s polarizing machinations, including his zealous support for Trump and, more ominously, his “regular contact” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Despite all of that, the Biden administration has had to deal with him — if not always harmoniously. Expect that to continue if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A Trump White House, on the other hand, could help address the litany of complaints Musk has leveled against government agencies. He cried foul after Starlink didn’t qualify to provide service in the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program to bring high-speed internet to rural areas. He has clashed with the Federal Aviation Administration over permits for rocket launches and denounced fines over license violations as “lawfare.” SpaceX blasted the FAA in September for delaying a test launch of its Starship rocket over environmental concerns — a tactic that seemed to work when permission for the launch was then granted earlier than expected. (SpaceX wowed the world by capturing the spent first-stage booster with mechanical “chopsticks” at the launch pad.)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/21e1b9d1c4201a53f0b390caab51935e\" alt=\"Starship's Super Heavy rocket booster is caught mid-air during the fifth flight test in Texas\" title=\"Starship's Super Heavy rocket booster is caught mid-air during the fifth flight test in Texas\" tg-width=\"1918\" tg-height=\"1032\"/><span>Starship's Super Heavy rocket booster is caught mid-air during the fifth flight test in Texas</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">With Musk ensconced within a Trump administration, federal regulators might feel even less inclined to clash with SpaceX (echoing his preferred regulatory treatment of autonomous vehicles). Musk would wield outsized influence on space policy, an area of special interest to Trump, on whose watch the US Space Force was established. A Trump administration could also be expected to relax the enforcement of regulations for SpaceX in areas such as launch safety and environmental impacts, and likely increase the government’s dependency on it, ignoring the conflicts that would entail.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Beyond the domestic sphere, Trump might be tempted to use Musk and his company as a tool for foreign policy. The impact of Starlink’s technology cannot be overstated, especially outside the US. That has made some in the Biden administration nervous because of Musk’s ability to switch the service on or off at will. The Starlink kit typically costs about $600 and is easily deployable. Governments across Latin America, Africa and Asia have granted the company access. <u>Black-market sales</u> elsewhere underscore the scale of demand.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">No matter who wins the election, government dependency on SpaceX will only grow as the world gears up for a second space race. A Harris victory would temper that relationship with tension over regulations and a dose of mistrust. Under Trump, the SpaceX-government relationship would come with lower guardrails. That could have potentially worrying consequences for safety (if lax regulation ensues), competition and — most important — national security.</p><h3 id=\"id_631511288\" style=\"text-align: start;\">X is campaign central for Trump</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">If Trump wins and does indeed bring Musk inside the White House, X would essentially resemble something previously unthinkable: a US state-run social network.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The site’s transformation began in 2022 when Musk, already a power user on the platform, acquired the site for $44 billion, having briefly tried to back out of the deal. Until that point, Musk had used what was then Twitter to mostly hype his businesses — a single tweet could and did send Tesla’s stock price soaring.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk — back then, at least — was a self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist.” He had long maintained he was a neutral party who would adhere to that standard and avoid promoting any defined political agenda. He reinstated Trump’s personal account — in the interest of free speech, he said — after it had been suspended by previous Twitter leadership in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Before long, Musk’s self-described “moderate” politics began to evaporate. Soon, he was livestreaming from the US-Mexico border. He became, <u>statistically</u>, the biggest single peddler of right-wing conspiracy theories on the site. In the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump in July, he announced he would endorse the former president — which by then surprised few.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Whether this support is due to a genuine belief in Trump’s politics, or a tactic to protect his businesses, is known only to Musk himself. Either way, X has morphed into the communications wing of the Trump campaign.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/40a277847bb7d75262fbd63ad5bbc6a7\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"974\" tg-height=\"1192\"/></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk has used his platform to aggressively push the political spending efforts of his America PAC, including amplifying baseless allegations of voter fraud and dangerous exaggerations and falsehoods about immigration and its effects, as our colleagues in Bloomberg News have reported. He has livestreamed his own get-out-the-vote rallies on behalf of Trump. And, at a rate of usually dozens a day, Musk has personally shared numerous pro-Trump posts and conspiracy theories. The virality of Republican messaging on X has soared during the campaign, according to one analysis.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">This power to aggressively shape the online narrative makes Musk a crucial ally to Trump during a potential second term — and even if he loses. In the event of a Harris victory, X could become the engine room for the opposition. A dedicated X community, backed by Musk, has already been established for sharing “potential incidents” of problems at the polls, laying the groundwork for another “Stop the Steal” effort.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">X’s struggling business, deserted by many major advertisers, has much to gain from a second Trump term if he uses the site as he did during his presidency. Trump used Twitter as his primary medium for announcing policy when he was in the White House, firing Cabinet members, disparaging critics, claiming inflated crowd sizes and so on.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Trump has been less of a voice on X, since having his account reinstated, because there’s money to be made elsewhere. He holds a 57% stake in the company that owns Truth Social, a rival “free speech” platform. Those shares are currently worth about $3.5 billion — though the value is closely tethered to Trump’s electoral prospects and has fluctuated wildly. When Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. went public (ticker: DJT) investors were assured that Trump had agreed to a clause that required his posts, with some vague exceptions, be on Truth Social for six hours before appearing elsewhere. For a full year, Trump posted on X just once — his mugshot.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">As Election Day has neared, this stipulation has been largely overlooked, suggesting Trump still sees X as politically valuable. He started posting regularly there when Harris became the Democratic nominee. And he took part in a glitch-ridden livestream on the site with Musk during which the duo first floated the idea of Musk joining a Trump administration.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Trump hasn’t said what he intends to do with his various business interests if he wins (TMTG did not respond to requests for clarification). Last time around, he placed them in a blind trust controlled by his sons and his longtime chief financial officer, leading to understandable skepticism over how “blind” the trust truly was. Any change in circumstance could pave the way for his full-throated return to X, bringing some desperately needed and bankable long-term engagement to the site.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Truth Social isn’t a bona fide X competitor; its sky-high stock price, pegged to hopes of a Trump win, belies its tiny — and one-sided — user base and financial losses. X, meanwhile, would be more than happy to accommodate Trump’s worst excesses in a way that would render Truth Social’s reason for existing largely obsolete.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">One way or another, Musk could be expected to use his proximity to Trump to further his business goals for X, which include going after advertisers and nonprofits that have abandoned the platform. Musk, counterproductively, is suing some advertisers that avoid the site, accusing them of an “illegal boycott.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk’s stated goal of positioning X as an “everything” app, with a major financial services component, might also benefit from some government support. The company has disclosed it has secured money transmitter licenses in 38 US states — but not yet in the critical market of New York.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Elsewhere, Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, is on the cusp of a new funding round that would value it at a reported $40 billion (Musk has <u>said previously</u> that X would own 25% of xAI). The xAI startup is Musk’s bid to be part of the booming new sector, having parted ways with OpenAI — which he co-founded — over disagreements with that company’s CEO, Sam Altman.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk’s xAI is pitched as a viable alternative to OpenAI and competing products being developed by Anthropic and Meta Platforms Inc. It is being trained (partly) on X posts, powering the site’s AI chatbot, Grok.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk is developing an AI-training supercomputer that came online in Memphis last month. Powering these energy-hungry models is another challenge that a Trump White House could address. The administration would almost certainly loosen restrictions on emissions, making it easier for companies to use gas-fired power, and might be persuaded to pour more funding into nuclear power — all of which would be advantageous to Musk’s push.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Becoming the AI model of choice for the federal government is an opportunity worth billions of dollars. Musk’s insistence that his model is an “anti woke” AI, one that contrasts with the supposedly tainted efforts of “Silicon Valley liberals,” would be of great appeal to his potential new boss.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk’s shrewd risk-taking and market insights have seen him parlay his initial PayPal windfall into an eye-watering fortune, enabling him to reimagine entire industries and to command a level of global influence few businesspeople have ever enjoyed. Musk is both a welcome and rare catalyst for change, and a symbol of the outsized, troubling privileges and access that come with extraordinary wealth. He personifies a world in which one person, unconstrained and seemingly remorseless, can use concentrated riches and power to dominate critical sectors of society and the economy. That, in turn, allows Musk to thumb his nose at convention, civility, the truth and the rule of law. He is, in that sense, a natural partner for Trump.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Should Musk enter a Trump administration, what could curb his power — or, at a minimum, ensure that it isn’t exercised merely to serve his own needs? US institutions, including Congress, regulators and courts, would have to stand tall.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">There’s good reason for pessimism. Trump flouted ethical norms his predecessors had observed during his presidency, reveling in financial and political conflicts of interest that have tested — and may have broken — the law. He went unchecked at crucial moments by law enforcement and Congress. His post-presidential resurgence from the Jan. 6, 2021, siege at the US Capitol made it clear that the Republican Party and tens of millions of American voters didn’t care about his myriad transgressions.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Musk has watched Trump skate past many of his problems and is likely to take cues from that journey. He is already accustomed to dealing with accommodating corporate boards and loyal shareholders, so operating unchecked in a second Trump administration would come easily to him.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Government bureaucracy alone may offer a check. Musk is used to firing tens of thousands of people as he wishes and pivoting an entire company with a tweet or two. That may make him ill-suited to working through the inertia, frustration and sheer boredom of public governance and consensus-building. He wouldn’t be the first wannabe swamp-drainer to get mired in the ooze instead. Rex Tillerson, another corporate titan used to directing a slick, industry-leading machine in the form of Exxon Mobil Corp., found himself ill-prepared for the workings of the State Department and the skulduggery of the Trump White House.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Tillerson also happened to be the first Cabinet official ever to be fired on social media after reportedly describing his boss with a little too much of what Musk might term free speech. Therein may lie another potential check.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Trump loves having rich, flashy, aggressive men at his side, and Musk fits the bill. Trump doesn’t like sharing the spotlight, however, especially if his partners have the celebrity status Musk enjoys. It’s a recipe for conflict.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">After all, we now have two self-interested alpha males in a marriage of convenience who share a fascination with attention, fast money and unbridled power, even at the expense of democracy and the public interest. What could possibly go wrong?</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>Musk’s Election Bet Is Clear.

The web of contracts and subsidies that bind his empire to government largess have not prevented him from inserting himself into America’s fraught politics — and, depending on the outcome, ever more deeply into the fabric of society and national security.Billionaires, corporate titans and anyone else with financial interests on the line rarely offer their wealth and time gratis. So what is Musk after, and what potential conflicts of interest arise when someone with such broad influence throws himself into one of the most consequential elections in US history?After all, the man behind Tesla Inc., X Corp., Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and a host of other companies isn’t simply campaigning for the man who might be president again. Musk may also join a potential second Trump administration.While the boundaries between business and politics in the US have always been malleable, for better and worse, Musk’s roles and reach raise unprecedented questions about self-dealing and the evaporation of ethical, legal and financial guidelines meant to protect the public interest and good government.Consider Musk’s sway, built over an undeniably remarkable career. Tesla brought electric vehicles into the mainstream, forcing the legacy automobile industry to play catch-up. SpaceX made the US competitive again in the commercial rocket business. Starlink, a SpaceX subsidiary, offers a satellite-based communication network that spans the globe. X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, still shapes public opinion with a keystroke, despite its pell-mell management and transformation into a font of disinformation and muck under Musk.Musk’s foothold in Trump’s orbit could add direct policymaking power to his business portfolio — giving him a say on public finances and an opportunity to bring his special brand of “moving fast and breaking things” to the foundations of popular programs such as Social Security and Medicare.Musk treads a well-worn path; his mix of innovation, industrial heft, penchant for racist conspiracy theories and overt eccentricities recall the likes of Henry Ford and Howard Hughes.What distinguishes him is the sheer scale of his contribution, encompassing not just well over $100 million of donations but also free promotion on X, and much of his own time — including high-profile appearances at Trump rallies. His spending on behalf of Trump — particularly $1 million “prize” offerings — has made him a target of law enforcement. Musk is also adding a personal touch to his influence peddling. He’s marrying his control of critical technologies to his erratic, combative persona; a combustible mix that could be supercharged by formal political power should Trump reclaim the presidency after Tuesday’s election.Musk’s and Trump’s respective ascendancies could hardly be any different, with one a self-made immigrant and Silicon Valley billionaire and the other a boom-and-bust self-promoter who inherited a New York real estate fortune. There are also striking similarities that explain their bond and shared interests. Both inspire cult-like devotion that renders them seemingly immune to consequences. Each possesses colossal self-assurance and contempt for institutions and norms. They are also thoroughly transactional, not least in their willingness to set aside prior slights and seemingly irreconcilable differences that once left them at odds. Above all, they both have vested interests in the powers, protections and resources of the federal government.Musk, unfazed by his lack of experience in public office, could run a new Department of Government Efficiency that would attempt to tear out $2 trillion of a roughly $6.8 trillion federal budget. Reality might intrude, however. Congress, not the president, typically establishes new federal departments. Musk’s myriad financial and political conflicts might also make it impossible for him to secure Congress’ blessing to run any agency.But Musk doesn’t necessarily need an agency or a title to have influence in a Trump White House. He’s almost certain to remain a powerful consiglieri should Trump win, someone with easy access who can shape legislation and the Oval Office’s agenda. His major companies would obviously benefit from his proximity to Trump, as any tour of his portfolio reveals. (Musk and his companies didn’t answer requests for comment for this column.)Tesla wants an autonomous futureTesla is a pioneer of an energy transition that Trump decries as a scam. Musk laid out his original “master plan” for Tesla 18 years ago: To foster a move toward a solar electric economy by mainstreaming electric vehicles. The initial breakthrough came in 2012 with the launch of the Model S, a luxury electric sedan that proved EVs could be cool and compete with traditional cars. With Musk as chief executive officer, Tesla has become the most valuable auto company in the world by far, with a market value of almost $800 billion, and the biggest seller of battery EVs worldwide. In the US, its charging network has become the de facto standard for the EV industry.While Musk’s vision and knack for raising capital were critical during long years of losses, so too was government help. The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office lent Tesla $465 million at a critical moment in 2010, since repaid. Above all, consumer tax credits have been crucial in reducing the upfront price for EV adopters, with President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act allowing a federal $7,500 credit to be given at the point of sale. The IRA also established generous credits for batteries and other clean technology manufactured in the US.Even now, with Tesla making close to 2 million EVs annually and holding $20 billion of net cash on its balance sheet, an analysis published in March by Evercore ISI, an investment bank, implied about 40% of the company’s estimated operating profit this year would consist of credits enabled by the IRA. Bear that in mind when Musk lambastes government spending.Given all this, it might seem odd for Musk to team up with a candidate promising to undo Biden’s green subsidies. But this misses an important shift in Tesla’s investment story over the past two years. Its EV sales have stalled, with analysts expecting an outright decline this year (Tesla says otherwise.) Instead, the stock price is now held aloft by Musk’s vision of autonomous “robotaxis” and humanoid robots.RobotaxiTesla has relied on the government for subsidies in its EV business. Robotaxis are a different matter. The company would prefer that the government leave that business alone.Tesla’s approach to autonomous vehicles has involved upselling advanced driver assistance features on the premise that, eventually, these will reach a level of sophistication so the vehicles can simply drive themselves. Drivers are essentially beta testing these systems on public roads, gathering millions of miles of data to train Tesla’s autonomous vehicle software — with all the risks this entails, especially given the unrealistic expectations set by product names such as Autopilot and Full Self Driving. Since Musk has set and missed repeated deadlines for the launch of autonomous Teslas, the company needs much more time. Yet a series of accidents involving vehicles using these systems, some fatal, have prompted lawsuits and a recent intensification of scrutiny by federal bodies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.Musk’s mere proximity to any future Trump Oval Office could cause federal agencies to think twice about upsetting a presidential ally who has the potential to influence budgets and appointments. Musk could certainly use one specific government break: lifting the NHTSA cap on how many vehicles a company can deploy annually, with permission, that don’t have steering wheels and pedals. That cap stands at 2,500, but Musk aspires to produce millions of these so-called cybercabs. Raising the cap would require Congress to act, but Trump might help secure that from an obedient Republican majority.A formal Cabinet role for Musk requiring Senate confirmation looks unlikely, not least because he would almost certainly have to resign as Tesla’s CEO and possibly dispose of his shareholdings à la Hank Paulson, who sold his Goldman Sachs Group Inc. stock when he became Treasury secretary in 2006. Resigning as CEO might be acceptable to investors given Musk’s hold over his companies and Tesla’s historically supine board, but a forced sale of his 12.8% stake would be financially catastrophic. When he dumped part of his stake in 2022 during the Twitter acquisition, Tesla’s share price dived. (The same question would arise about his holdings in companies including SpaceX and X, too, though a more acceptable alternative could be putting them all in a blind trust, as Trump did with his corporate interests during his presidency.)On the other hand, while a part-time advisory or commission role would represent another distraction for Musk, investors in Tesla (and his other companies) might view it as an advantage given his potential ability to influence regulation and policy.He could blunt attacks on EVs, for example, which still provide the vast majority of Tesla’s cash flow. John Paulson, the hedge-fund billionaire angling to run the Treasury Department in a Trump Cabinet, envisages working with Musk to dismantle IRA subsidies. In that position, Musk could potentially steer any such cuts away from EVs and toward, say, renewable energy — or, in a grim irony, the Loan Programs Office that once helped nurture Tesla and is now squarely in the sights of Republicans for cuts.That’s easier said than done, however. There is an additional layer of protection for cleantech subsidies: The vast majority of IRA-inspired jobs and investment dollars are flowing to red districts, prompting second thoughts from GOP House members about outright repeal.EV subsidies would be safe in the event of a Trump loss, of course, but a Harris administration poses other risks. While a Democratic White House wouldn’t touch the IRA, it also wouldn’t restrain the agencies policing robotaxis. Perhaps the most significant difference would be that Harris’ team would be less likely to take Musk’s calls.SpaceX rules — with or without TrumpSpaceX, the privately held rocket developer in which Musk is the CEO and largest shareholder, is where his empire intersects most clearly with the public interest — and national security. The company dominates space transportation, has revitalized the US aerospace industry and is indispensable to the federal government.Its pivotal innovation was developing reusable rockets to sharply cut launch costs, born of Musk’s dream of traveling to — and eventually occupying — Mars. In 2002, he bet part of his fortune from early entrepreneurial successes, including Paypal Holdings Inc., on SpaceX, weathering several failures to finally notch his first successful launch in 2008. NASA was an early and crucial partner, providing contracts, expertise and crews.The tide really turned in SpaceX’s favor in 2014 when NASA chose it and Boeing Co. to carry astronauts to the International Space Station, which would finally break the agency’s dependence on Russian rockets. The company retrieved its first rocket booster the next year and now boasts the world’s most flown rocket in the Falcon 9.Although SpaceX received a smaller initial contract than Boeing, Musk’s company has taken astronauts to the space station on several missions while Boeing has yet to fulfill its contract amid well-publicized stumbles.In 2019, SpaceX launched its first group of 60 satellites into low-Earth orbit, marking the beginning of Starlink, which now has more than 6,000 satellites that provide high-speed internet almost anywhere, including to vehicles on the move such as RVs, aircraft and ships. Designed for consumers, it has become invaluable to governments during disasters and in war zones. Musk is also launching secured satellites to create a network called Starshield that’s specifically for governments.All this has made SpaceX a vital contractor to the US government, including its military and intelligence agencies, as well as to nations around the world, giving Musk unprecedented access to and leverage with officials.Starlink has provided internet services to war-torn Ukraine, but Musk has also clashed with its government after curtailing the service to prevent an attack on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in occupied Crimea. Musk, according to a biography, was concerned that the operation would provoke a Russian nuclear strike. Meanwhile, the US Federal Emergency Management Agency has used Starlink to provide communications in areas hit by Hurricane Helene.There has been alarm over Musk’s polarizing machinations, including his zealous support for Trump and, more ominously, his “regular contact” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Despite all of that, the Biden administration has had to deal with him — if not always harmoniously. Expect that to continue if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency.A Trump White House, on the other hand, could help address the litany of complaints Musk has leveled against government agencies. He cried foul after Starlink didn’t qualify to provide service in the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program to bring high-speed internet to rural areas. He has clashed with the Federal Aviation Administration over permits for rocket launches and denounced fines over license violations as “lawfare.” SpaceX blasted the FAA in September for delaying a test launch of its Starship rocket over environmental concerns — a tactic that seemed to work when permission for the launch was then granted earlier than expected. (SpaceX wowed the world by capturing the spent first-stage booster with mechanical “chopsticks” at the launch pad.)Starship's Super Heavy rocket booster is caught mid-air during the fifth flight test in TexasWith Musk ensconced within a Trump administration, federal regulators might feel even less inclined to clash with SpaceX (echoing his preferred regulatory treatment of autonomous vehicles). Musk would wield outsized influence on space policy, an area of special interest to Trump, on whose watch the US Space Force was established. A Trump administration could also be expected to relax the enforcement of regulations for SpaceX in areas such as launch safety and environmental impacts, and likely increase the government’s dependency on it, ignoring the conflicts that would entail.Beyond the domestic sphere, Trump might be tempted to use Musk and his company as a tool for foreign policy. The impact of Starlink’s technology cannot be overstated, especially outside the US. That has made some in the Biden administration nervous because of Musk’s ability to switch the service on or off at will. The Starlink kit typically costs about $600 and is easily deployable. Governments across Latin America, Africa and Asia have granted the company access. Black-market sales elsewhere underscore the scale of demand.No matter who wins the election, government dependency on SpaceX will only grow as the world gears up for a second space race. A Harris victory would temper that relationship with tension over regulations and a dose of mistrust. Under Trump, the SpaceX-government relationship would come with lower guardrails. That could have potentially worrying consequences for safety (if lax regulation ensues), competition and — most important — national security.X is campaign central for TrumpIf Trump wins and does indeed bring Musk inside the White House, X would essentially resemble something previously unthinkable: a US state-run social network.The site’s transformation began in 2022 when Musk, already a power user on the platform, acquired the site for $44 billion, having briefly tried to back out of the deal. Until that point, Musk had used what was then Twitter to mostly hype his businesses — a single tweet could and did send Tesla’s stock price soaring.Musk — back then, at least — was a self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist.” He had long maintained he was a neutral party who would adhere to that standard and avoid promoting any defined political agenda. He reinstated Trump’s personal account — in the interest of free speech, he said — after it had been suspended by previous Twitter leadership in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol.Before long, Musk’s self-described “moderate” politics began to evaporate. Soon, he was livestreaming from the US-Mexico border. He became, statistically, the biggest single peddler of right-wing conspiracy theories on the site. In the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump in July, he announced he would endorse the former president — which by then surprised few.Whether this support is due to a genuine belief in Trump’s politics, or a tactic to protect his businesses, is known only to Musk himself. Either way, X has morphed into the communications wing of the Trump campaign.Musk has used his platform to aggressively push the political spending efforts of his America PAC, including amplifying baseless allegations of voter fraud and dangerous exaggerations and falsehoods about immigration and its effects, as our colleagues in Bloomberg News have reported. He has livestreamed his own get-out-the-vote rallies on behalf of Trump. And, at a rate of usually dozens a day, Musk has personally shared numerous pro-Trump posts and conspiracy theories. The virality of Republican messaging on X has soared during the campaign, according to one analysis.This power to aggressively shape the online narrative makes Musk a crucial ally to Trump during a potential second term — and even if he loses. In the event of a Harris victory, X could become the engine room for the opposition. A dedicated X community, backed by Musk, has already been established for sharing “potential incidents” of problems at the polls, laying the groundwork for another “Stop the Steal” effort.X’s struggling business, deserted by many major advertisers, has much to gain from a second Trump term if he uses the site as he did during his presidency. Trump used Twitter as his primary medium for announcing policy when he was in the White House, firing Cabinet members, disparaging critics, claiming inflated crowd sizes and so on.Trump has been less of a voice on X, since having his account reinstated, because there’s money to be made elsewhere. He holds a 57% stake in the company that owns Truth Social, a rival “free speech” platform. Those shares are currently worth about $3.5 billion — though the value is closely tethered to Trump’s electoral prospects and has fluctuated wildly. When Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. went public (ticker: DJT) investors were assured that Trump had agreed to a clause that required his posts, with some vague exceptions, be on Truth Social for six hours before appearing elsewhere. For a full year, Trump posted on X just once — his mugshot.As Election Day has neared, this stipulation has been largely overlooked, suggesting Trump still sees X as politically valuable. He started posting regularly there when Harris became the Democratic nominee. And he took part in a glitch-ridden livestream on the site with Musk during which the duo first floated the idea of Musk joining a Trump administration.Trump hasn’t said what he intends to do with his various business interests if he wins (TMTG did not respond to requests for clarification). Last time around, he placed them in a blind trust controlled by his sons and his longtime chief financial officer, leading to understandable skepticism over how “blind” the trust truly was. Any change in circumstance could pave the way for his full-throated return to X, bringing some desperately needed and bankable long-term engagement to the site.Truth Social isn’t a bona fide X competitor; its sky-high stock price, pegged to hopes of a Trump win, belies its tiny — and one-sided — user base and financial losses. X, meanwhile, would be more than happy to accommodate Trump’s worst excesses in a way that would render Truth Social’s reason for existing largely obsolete.One way or another, Musk could be expected to use his proximity to Trump to further his business goals for X, which include going after advertisers and nonprofits that have abandoned the platform. Musk, counterproductively, is suing some advertisers that avoid the site, accusing them of an “illegal boycott.”Musk’s stated goal of positioning X as an “everything” app, with a major financial services component, might also benefit from some government support. The company has disclosed it has secured money transmitter licenses in 38 US states — but not yet in the critical market of New York.Elsewhere, Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, is on the cusp of a new funding round that would value it at a reported $40 billion (Musk has said previously that X would own 25% of xAI). The xAI startup is Musk’s bid to be part of the booming new sector, having parted ways with OpenAI — which he co-founded — over disagreements with that company’s CEO, Sam Altman.Musk’s xAI is pitched as a viable alternative to OpenAI and competing products being developed by Anthropic and Meta Platforms Inc. It is being trained (partly) on X posts, powering the site’s AI chatbot, Grok.Musk is developing an AI-training supercomputer that came online in Memphis last month. Powering these energy-hungry models is another challenge that a Trump White House could address. The administration would almost certainly loosen restrictions on emissions, making it easier for companies to use gas-fired power, and might be persuaded to pour more funding into nuclear power — all of which would be advantageous to Musk’s push.Becoming the AI model of choice for the federal government is an opportunity worth billions of dollars. Musk’s insistence that his model is an “anti woke” AI, one that contrasts with the supposedly tainted efforts of “Silicon Valley liberals,” would be of great appeal to his potential new boss.Musk’s shrewd risk-taking and market insights have seen him parlay his initial PayPal windfall into an eye-watering fortune, enabling him to reimagine entire industries and to command a level of global influence few businesspeople have ever enjoyed. Musk is both a welcome and rare catalyst for change, and a symbol of the outsized, troubling privileges and access that come with extraordinary wealth. He personifies a world in which one person, unconstrained and seemingly remorseless, can use concentrated riches and power to dominate critical sectors of society and the economy. That, in turn, allows Musk to thumb his nose at convention, civility, the truth and the rule of law. He is, in that sense, a natural partner for Trump.Should Musk enter a Trump administration, what could curb his power — or, at a minimum, ensure that it isn’t exercised merely to serve his own needs? US institutions, including Congress, regulators and courts, would have to stand tall.There’s good reason for pessimism. Trump flouted ethical norms his predecessors had observed during his presidency, reveling in financial and political conflicts of interest that have tested — and may have broken — the law. He went unchecked at crucial moments by law enforcement and Congress. His post-presidential resurgence from the Jan. 6, 2021, siege at the US Capitol made it clear that the Republican Party and tens of millions of American voters didn’t care about his myriad transgressions.Musk has watched Trump skate past many of his problems and is likely to take cues from that journey. He is already accustomed to dealing with accommodating corporate boards and loyal shareholders, so operating unchecked in a second Trump administration would come easily to him.Government bureaucracy alone may offer a check. Musk is used to firing tens of thousands of people as he wishes and pivoting an entire company with a tweet or two. That may make him ill-suited to working through the inertia, frustration and sheer boredom of public governance and consensus-building. He wouldn’t be the first wannabe swamp-drainer to get mired in the ooze instead. Rex Tillerson, another corporate titan used to directing a slick, industry-leading machine in the form of Exxon Mobil Corp., found himself ill-prepared for the workings of the State Department and the skulduggery of the Trump White House.Tillerson also happened to be the first Cabinet official ever to be fired on social media after reportedly describing his boss with a little too much of what Musk might term free speech. Therein may lie another potential check.Trump loves having rich, flashy, aggressive men at his side, and Musk fits the bill. Trump doesn’t like sharing the spotlight, however, especially if his partners have the celebrity status Musk enjoys. It’s a recipe for conflict.After all, we now have two self-interested alpha males in a marriage of convenience who share a fascination with attention, fast money and unbridled power, even at the expense of democracy and the public interest.

High computing power, energy efficiency, and sophisticated node technologies (such as 5nm and 3nm) are necessary for these processors. Several cloud service providers, AMD (AMD), and NVIDIA (NVDA) are among the major clients. More here.</p></li><li><p><strong>Smartphone</strong>: One of TSMC's biggest markets is smartphones, where it manufactures chipsets for mobile devices made by firms like Apple and Qualcomm. Because of TSMC's experience with cutting-edge nodes like 5nm, smartphone processors can operate at fast speeds while using little power, which is essential for mobile devices.</p></li><li><p><strong>Internet of Things (IOT)</strong>: For Internet of Things applications where low-power consumption is essential, TSMC produces energy-efficient processors. This market comprises wearables, sensors, and smart home appliances that must be durable and connected. IoT chips frequently have nodes like 22nm, 28nm, and specialist processes.</p></li><li><p><strong>Automotive</strong>: The automotive division of TSMC is primarily focused on semiconductors for in-car entertainment systems, electric vehicle (EV) power management, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Chips for automotive applications need to be strong, durable, and highly reliable. With specialized technologies like 16nm and 28nm, TSMC satisfies these expectations. It is also growing to suit the car industry's increased safety and automation needs.</p></li><li><p><strong>Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE)</strong>: For digital consumer goods where cost and performance balance are crucial, such as TVs, game consoles, and smart appliances, TSMC supplies chips. For high-volume consumer markets, this category frequently employs established technological nodes like 28nm to 65nm, striking a balance between price and capabilities.</p></li></ol><p>By focusing on these areas, TSMC can meet the various demands of the semiconductor industry while also making R&D investments to expand its capabilities for high-demand applications.</p><p>Their revenue was distributed in their latest earnings like follows:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2f83b80ceaa3be0cc298a03a653b8326\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"/></p><p>TSMC revenue by platform (investor.tsmc.com)</p><p>We will now assume growth rates for each of the segments.</p><h3 id=\"id_3306342760\">High-Performance Computing (HPC)</h3><p>Like mentioned above, this segment supplies chips for data centers, supercomputers and AI applications. The data center is expected to growth between 9.6% and 11.4% p.a. in the next several years. The AI market, on the other hand, is expected by experts to grow at rates between 20.4% and 36% p.a., with this in mind and assuming that most of this segment will grow like the AI market, a aggressive growth rate of 25% p.a. seems reasonable to assume.</p><h3 id=\"id_3194715189\">Smartphone</h3><p>The smartphone market is expected to achieve growth rates of 3.5% to 7.3% p.a. until 2029. The average of these assumptions is a CAGR of 5.4% p.a.</p><h3 id=\"id_364476125\">Internet of Things</h3><p>For the IoT segment, experts are assuming a growth rates between 11.4% and 24.3% p.a., meaning the average of 17% p.a. seems suitable for our following analysis.</p><h3 id=\"id_404837735\">Automotive</h3><p>The automotive semiconductor market has projected growth rates between 8.1% and 11.1% p.a. With this in mind, a growth rate of 9.6% seems like a good assumption for this segment.</p><h3 id=\"id_3569149873\">Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE)</h3><p>For the DCE segment, experts assume growth rates between 2.9% and 13.2% p.a., giving us an average of 8% p.a.</p><p>With weighing the different business segments according to the revenue share of the latest quarter, we get an anticipated revenue CAGR of 16.7% p.a. for the whole business of TSMC.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/8eb03fdcb7b0e2fcf5510213df6ac8a2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\"/></p><p>TSMC's Growth Prospects (own assumptions)</p><p>With this we can now anticipate different growth rates for the Bear-, Base- and Bull-Case scenario.</p><p>Bear: 13.4% p.a. / -20%</p><p>Base: 16.7% p.a.</p><p>Bull: 22% p.a. / +30%</p><h2 id=\"id_2089741151\">Discounted Cash Flow Analysis</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>EBIT Margin: </strong>Here I took the metrics of the last four years and averaged them out, to get a EBIT margin of 43.8%.</p></li><li><p><strong>Free Cash Flow: </strong>I once again took the EBIT to FCF metrics of the last few years to then average them out and use a EBIT to FCF conversion rate of 44% in the analysis.</p></li><li><p><strong>WACC: </strong>Here I used 9%, which is right around TSM's current WACC.</p></li><li><p><strong>Perpetuity Growth Rate: </strong>For the perpetuity growth rate, I used a conservative 3.5%.</p></li></ul><h3 id=\"id_2117684651\">Bear-Case</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/745c475136059bc98911b7b1359a5bb9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case I (own assumptions)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60e5aee283a53ea2ac8e637262953124\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"558\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case II (own assumptions)</p><p>Within our Bear-Case we get a fair value share price of $122, indicating that the company might be overvalued by 40%.

For reference the 5y revenue CAGR of TSM is at 20.5% and the 10y CAGR is right around 14.5%. Meaning that our assumptions are also right in the middle of historical growth rates.</p><h3 id=\"id_3385398777\">Bull-Case</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dd6db610188a041c11783746ac9b320e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case I (own assumptions)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d27334e1f63c2c2b2097c3b4eac0e8b7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"538\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case II (own assumptions)</p><p>For our Bull-Case, we get a fair value estimate of $201, which translates into a potential overvaluation of 1%. This is, however, calculated with growth rates 30% higher than the underlying market rates of TSM's customers.</p><h2 id=\"id_2954487397\">Conclusion</h2><p>Within our analysis, we get the following mis-valuation:</p><p>Bear: $122 / 40% overvaluation</p><p>Base: $148 / 27% overvaluation</p><p>Bull: $201 / 1% overvaluation</p><p>Despite being the industry leader, TSM's FCF conversion rate is pretty low, mostly as a result of its significant capital expenditures (CAPEX) and continuous technological advancements. In order to create the newest process nodes (such as 3nm, 2nm, and beyond), TSM must continuously invest billions on state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and research. Although this investment puts short-term pressure on the current free cash flow conversion, it puts TSM in a position to maintain its advantage and increase its market share as demand for cutting-edge semiconductors rises across important sectors. The current FCF conversion, however, in my opinion, currently doesn't match with the dominant market position of TSM, resulting in lower valuations in our DCF analysis.</p><p>Given that investors see TSM as a vital supplier to the data processing and artificial intelligence sectors, the market's confidence over AI-driven development has greatly increased the company's stock price. This development, paired with the CAPEX intensive research and development in the semiconductor industry, lead to an overvaluation of TSM, when looking at the generated Free Cash Flow. The valuation appears to be very concerning when considering that even anticipated growth rates 30% higher than the expected rates of TSM's target markets for the next eight years still mean no undervaluation.</p><p>As a result, even though TSM has a very bright future and ideal market position, I think that TSMC has currently run too hot due to AI "euphoria", which is why I currently rate the company a <strong>Sell</strong>. I am nevertheless waiting for a better opportunity to re-enter this very high-quality stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_3204126093\">What’s Your Perspective?

OTC:TSMWF) stock has performed phenomenally due to the current AI hype in the market, as the company is positioned to highly benefit from the continuing adaption of AI.Data by YChartsIn this article, we will look at the different business segments that TSM is currently supplying, to assume a suitable growth rate for each customer segment and eventually evaluate the company using a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and the three scenarios Bear-, Base- and Bull-Case.Growth ProspectsEvery business area that TSMC serves has different semiconductor requirements:High-Performance Computing (HPC): For the production of cutting-edge chips that power data centers, supercomputers, AI applications, and gaming platforms, TSMC's HPC sector is essential. High computing power, energy efficiency, and sophisticated node technologies (such as 5nm and 3nm) are necessary for these processors. Several cloud service providers, AMD (AMD), and NVIDIA (NVDA) are among the major clients. More here.Smartphone: One of TSMC's biggest markets is smartphones, where it manufactures chipsets for mobile devices made by firms like Apple and Qualcomm. Because of TSMC's experience with cutting-edge nodes like 5nm, smartphone processors can operate at fast speeds while using little power, which is essential for mobile devices.Internet of Things (IOT): For Internet of Things applications where low-power consumption is essential, TSMC produces energy-efficient processors. This market comprises wearables, sensors, and smart home appliances that must be durable and connected. IoT chips frequently have nodes like 22nm, 28nm, and specialist processes.Automotive: The automotive division of TSMC is primarily focused on semiconductors for in-car entertainment systems, electric vehicle (EV) power management, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Chips for automotive applications need to be strong, durable, and highly reliable. With specialized technologies like 16nm and 28nm, TSMC satisfies these expectations. It is also growing to suit the car industry's increased safety and automation needs.Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE): For digital consumer goods where cost and performance balance are crucial, such as TVs, game consoles, and smart appliances, TSMC supplies chips. For high-volume consumer markets, this category frequently employs established technological nodes like 28nm to 65nm, striking a balance between price and capabilities.By focusing on these areas, TSMC can meet the various demands of the semiconductor industry while also making R&D investments to expand its capabilities for high-demand applications.Their revenue was distributed in their latest earnings like follows:TSMC revenue by platform (investor.tsmc.com)We will now assume growth rates for each of the segments.High-Performance Computing (HPC)Like mentioned above, this segment supplies chips for data centers, supercomputers and AI applications. The data center is expected to growth between 9.6% and 11.4% p.a. in the next several years. The AI market, on the other hand, is expected by experts to grow at rates between 20.4% and 36% p.a., with this in mind and assuming that most of this segment will grow like the AI market, a aggressive growth rate of 25% p.a. seems reasonable to assume.SmartphoneThe smartphone market is expected to achieve growth rates of 3.5% to 7.3% p.a. until 2029. The average of these assumptions is a CAGR of 5.4% p.a.Internet of ThingsFor the IoT segment, experts are assuming a growth rates between 11.4% and 24.3% p.a., meaning the average of 17% p.a. seems suitable for our following analysis.AutomotiveThe automotive semiconductor market has projected growth rates between 8.1% and 11.1% p.a. With this in mind, a growth rate of 9.6% seems like a good assumption for this segment.Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE)For the DCE segment, experts assume growth rates between 2.9% and 13.2% p.a., giving us an average of 8% p.a.With weighing the different business segments according to the revenue share of the latest quarter, we get an anticipated revenue CAGR of 16.7% p.a. for the whole business of TSMC.TSMC's Growth Prospects (own assumptions)With this we can now anticipate different growth rates for the Bear-, Base- and Bull-Case scenario.Bear: 13.4% p.a. / -20%Base: 16.7% p.a.Bull: 22% p.a. / +30%Discounted Cash Flow AnalysisEBIT Margin: Here I took the metrics of the last four years and averaged them out, to get a EBIT margin of 43.8%.Free Cash Flow: I once again took the EBIT to FCF metrics of the last few years to then average them out and use a EBIT to FCF conversion rate of 44% in the analysis.WACC: Here I used 9%, which is right around TSM's current WACC.Perpetuity Growth Rate: For the perpetuity growth rate, I used a conservative 3.5%.Bear-CaseTSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case I (own assumptions)TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case II (own assumptions)Within our Bear-Case we get a fair value share price of $122, indicating that the company might be overvalued by 40%. This however, factors in growth rates lower than the markets that are supplied by TSM.Base-CaseTSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Base-Case I (own assumptions)TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Base-Case II (own assumptions)For the Base-Case, we get a fair value share price estimate of $148, indicating that the company could be overvalued by 27%. For reference the 5y revenue CAGR of TSM is at 20.5% and the 10y CAGR is right around 14.5%. Meaning that our assumptions are also right in the middle of historical growth rates.Bull-CaseTSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case I (own assumptions)TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case II (own assumptions)For our Bull-Case, we get a fair value estimate of $201, which translates into a potential overvaluation of 1%. This is, however, calculated with growth rates 30% higher than the underlying market rates of TSM's customers.ConclusionWithin our analysis, we get the following mis-valuation:Bear: $122 / 40% overvaluationBase: $148 / 27% overvaluationBull: $201 / 1% overvaluationDespite being the industry leader, TSM's FCF conversion rate is pretty low, mostly as a result of its significant capital expenditures (CAPEX) and continuous technological advancements. In order to create the newest process nodes (such as 3nm, 2nm, and beyond), TSM must continuously invest billions on state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and research. Although this investment puts short-term pressure on the current free cash flow conversion, it puts TSM in a position to maintain its advantage and increase its market share as demand for cutting-edge semiconductors rises across important sectors. The current FCF conversion, however, in my opinion, currently doesn't match with the dominant market position of TSM, resulting in lower valuations in our DCF analysis.Given that investors see TSM as a vital supplier to the data processing and artificial intelligence sectors, the market's confidence over AI-driven development has greatly increased the company's stock price. This development, paired with the CAPEX intensive research and development in the semiconductor industry, lead to an overvaluation of TSM, when looking at the generated Free Cash Flow. The valuation appears to be very concerning when considering that even anticipated growth rates 30% higher than the expected rates of TSM's target markets for the next eight years still mean no undervaluation.As a result, even though TSM has a very bright future and ideal market position, I think that TSMC has currently run too hot due to AI \"euphoria\", which is why I currently rate the company a Sell. I am nevertheless waiting for a better opportunity to re-enter this very high-quality stock.What’s Your Perspective? Let’s Discuss!Thank you for reading my analysis!

Even after this run-up, TSM remains one of my favorite picks for the simple reason that it has all the hallmarks of a business to own forever: it has a wide moat, is positioned in an essential and growing sector, and has demonstrated unparalleled operational excellence. Buy TSM and don't let go.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/45dfa7f35f6fb5652725f3d870b86336\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>With AI demand continuing to surge and stock valuations soaring, expectations were fairly high for TSMC's Q3 results: as the world's pre-eminent chip manufacturer, servicing almost all the leading semiconductor design companies, TSMC is a bellwether for the health of the tech sector and the economy at large. Even so, the company was able to surpass those lofty expectations and further fuel investor optimism over its ability to maintain its dominant market position. Let's recap the most recent earnings results.</p><p>TSMC reported quarterly revenue of $23.5 billion, up 39% YoY and 12% QoQ, EPS of $1.94, up 54% YoY and 31% QoQ, and gross margin of 57.8%, up 350 bps YoY and 450 bps QoQ. As far as core metrics go, not many companies are achieving this level of growth on a revenue base this high with a margin this lucrative. Contract manufacturing in most industries is a low-margin race to the bottom. However, TSMC is so far ahead of the competition, which is really just Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (OTCPK:SSNLF) and Intel Corporation (INTC), that it has been able to consistently achieve an outsized net profit margin, including a record-high 42.8% for Q3 2024.</p><p>On the balance sheet side, the company is in great shape as cash & equivalents have ballooned to nearly $60 billion, up 44% YoY, compared to just $28 billion in long-term debt, which is actually slightly down from Q3 2023. And while TSMC's business is highly capital intensive, the cash flows look pristine as well with $5.7 billion in free cash flow, adding to the stockpile and easily covering the $2.8 billion quarterly dividend payment.</p><p>Guidance was equally upbeat with revenue expected between $26.1 billion and $26.9 billion, up 35% YoY and 13% QoQ at the midpoint, and margins expected to be flat or see a slight increase.</p><p>When it comes to TSMC, you can usually get a finger on the pulse of management's expectations by following capital expenditures, which the company ramps up and down based on the demand profile for the coming quarters. In that vein, TSMC boosted CapEx guidance for FY2024 to be slightly above its original $30 billion estimate and projected, without specifying a number, that FY2025 CapEx will likely be higher still.</p><p>For those following the semiconductor space, this steady march higher in spending should perhaps come as no surprise. NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) is in the midst of launching its next-generation Blackwell AI chips, the demand for which CEO Jensen Huang characterized as “insane.” Apple Inc. (AAPL) is placing massive orders for capacity on TSMC's most cutting-edge node (N3) for its iPhones and Mac laptops. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is using TSMC for its various CPU and AI accelerator offerings. QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM) has booked capacity for its Snapdragon mobile chips, and even Intel contracted out its Arrow Lake processors to TSMC after ditching volume production on its 20A process node.</p><p>This who's who of semiconductor design behemoths demonstrates just how far ahead TSMC is compared to the competition: the world's largest companies fight over its capacity for their most advanced SoCs and pay top dollar for it. And while TSMC has demonstrated operational excellence, Intel and Samsung have faltered recently. After being the undisputed king of the foundry for decades, Intel flubbed its 10nm process (re-branded Intel 7), eliminating what was viewed as an insurmountable moat. For an article that chronicles this downfall contemporaneously, you can read my piece about Intel's 10nm debacle from 2019 here.</p><p>Intel has shown progress recently with a more aggressive approach to node development timelines, which, I think, has resulted in what could very well be a competitive node in 2025, dubbed 20A. However, TSMC has now established a technological lead, an operational lead, and a customer lead that won't be easily disrupted.</p><p>As for Samsung, though it remains a leader in memory chip manufacturing, logic chips have been a tougher nut to crack. After previously boasting Qualcomm as one of its major customers, Samsung was unable to sufficiently scale its 3nm process to Qualcomm's satisfaction, prompting the latter to move all major orders to TSMC. It was further reported last week that Samsung had delayed taking shipment of EUV lithography machines, which are used in the manufacturing of advanced chips, from Dutch company ASML Holding N.V. (ASML). These were originally intended for Samsung's upcoming fab in Texas, which has also seen some on-site staff from the company sent back to South Korea.</p><p>At this point, Intel and Samsung are fighting over whatever scraps are left on the table as TSMC continues to massively expand manufacturing capacity to capture as much of the market as possible. And once that market share is captured and customers are locked in, it's difficult to pry them away. Due to this significant lead, the ever-expanding demand for semiconductor manufacturing, and the operational excellence the company continues to demonstrate, I'm having a hard time thinking of a company that is more set for long-term success than TSMC.</p><p>Whether it's generative AI, smartphones, servers, or whatever the next five or ten secular trends appear to entail, TSMC is positioned to profit from whatever comes down the pipe. Yes, there is the risk that competitors will catch up and margins will fall off slightly. Or, that an economic recession will cripple end-user demand and cause major capacity utilization issues. AI could end up being massively scaled back due to a lack of applications. However, there will always be someone willing to pay a hefty sum for a contract manufacturer that can deliver on the bleeding edge, on time, and within specifications.</p><p>With how much cash TSMC is pulling in, I expect to see a steady increase in the dividend over the foreseeable future:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/632e926e32146bfceded9145c1f0dab8\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"491\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>It has already begun creeping up, but with the payout ratio falling and cash piling up on the balance sheet, I expect the company to begin returning capital to shareholders at a higher rate. In fact, one of my main criticisms would be management's current reluctance to spend cash, so I'll be keeping a watchful eye on that in the coming quarters and years.</p><p>While the valuation might be considered rich at a forward P/E of around 28, the high revenue base paired with robust growth and best-in-class margins makes the stock attractive. Beyond just next year's earnings, TSMC's market position is perhaps one of the best of any company in the market today and I intend to hold my shares for a very long time, if not forever.</p><h2 id=\"id_2443855904\">Investor Takeaway</h2><p>TSMC is the undisputed leader in a sector that will be critical for corporate and national security interests for decades to come.

Even after this run-up, TSM remains one of my favorite picks for the simple reason that it has all the hallmarks of a business to own forever: it has a wide moat, is positioned in an essential and growing sector, and has demonstrated unparalleled operational excellence. Buy TSM and don't let go.Data by YChartsWith AI demand continuing to surge and stock valuations soaring, expectations were fairly high for TSMC's Q3 results: as the world's pre-eminent chip manufacturer, servicing almost all the leading semiconductor design companies, TSMC is a bellwether for the health of the tech sector and the economy at large. Even so, the company was able to surpass those lofty expectations and further fuel investor optimism over its ability to maintain its dominant market position. Let's recap the most recent earnings results.TSMC reported quarterly revenue of $23.5 billion, up 39% YoY and 12% QoQ, EPS of $1.94, up 54% YoY and 31% QoQ, and gross margin of 57.8%, up 350 bps YoY and 450 bps QoQ. As far as core metrics go, not many companies are achieving this level of growth on a revenue base this high with a margin this lucrative. Contract manufacturing in most industries is a low-margin race to the bottom. However, TSMC is so far ahead of the competition, which is really just Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (OTCPK:SSNLF) and Intel Corporation (INTC), that it has been able to consistently achieve an outsized net profit margin, including a record-high 42.8% for Q3 2024.On the balance sheet side, the company is in great shape as cash & equivalents have ballooned to nearly $60 billion, up 44% YoY, compared to just $28 billion in long-term debt, which is actually slightly down from Q3 2023. And while TSMC's business is highly capital intensive, the cash flows look pristine as well with $5.7 billion in free cash flow, adding to the stockpile and easily covering the $2.8 billion quarterly dividend payment.Guidance was equally upbeat with revenue expected between $26.1 billion and $26.9 billion, up 35% YoY and 13% QoQ at the midpoint, and margins expected to be flat or see a slight increase.When it comes to TSMC, you can usually get a finger on the pulse of management's expectations by following capital expenditures, which the company ramps up and down based on the demand profile for the coming quarters. In that vein, TSMC boosted CapEx guidance for FY2024 to be slightly above its original $30 billion estimate and projected, without specifying a number, that FY2025 CapEx will likely be higher still.For those following the semiconductor space, this steady march higher in spending should perhaps come as no surprise. NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) is in the midst of launching its next-generation Blackwell AI chips, the demand for which CEO Jensen Huang characterized as “insane.” Apple Inc. (AAPL) is placing massive orders for capacity on TSMC's most cutting-edge node (N3) for its iPhones and Mac laptops. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is using TSMC for its various CPU and AI accelerator offerings. QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM) has booked capacity for its Snapdragon mobile chips, and even Intel contracted out its Arrow Lake processors to TSMC after ditching volume production on its 20A process node.This who's who of semiconductor design behemoths demonstrates just how far ahead TSMC is compared to the competition: the world's largest companies fight over its capacity for their most advanced SoCs and pay top dollar for it. And while TSMC has demonstrated operational excellence, Intel and Samsung have faltered recently. After being the undisputed king of the foundry for decades, Intel flubbed its 10nm process (re-branded Intel 7), eliminating what was viewed as an insurmountable moat. For an article that chronicles this downfall contemporaneously, you can read my piece about Intel's 10nm debacle from 2019 here.Intel has shown progress recently with a more aggressive approach to node development timelines, which, I think, has resulted in what could very well be a competitive node in 2025, dubbed 20A. However, TSMC has now established a technological lead, an operational lead, and a customer lead that won't be easily disrupted.As for Samsung, though it remains a leader in memory chip manufacturing, logic chips have been a tougher nut to crack. After previously boasting Qualcomm as one of its major customers, Samsung was unable to sufficiently scale its 3nm process to Qualcomm's satisfaction, prompting the latter to move all major orders to TSMC. It was further reported last week that Samsung had delayed taking shipment of EUV lithography machines, which are used in the manufacturing of advanced chips, from Dutch company ASML Holding N.V. (ASML). These were originally intended for Samsung's upcoming fab in Texas, which has also seen some on-site staff from the company sent back to South Korea.At this point, Intel and Samsung are fighting over whatever scraps are left on the table as TSMC continues to massively expand manufacturing capacity to capture as much of the market as possible. And once that market share is captured and customers are locked in, it's difficult to pry them away. Due to this significant lead, the ever-expanding demand for semiconductor manufacturing, and the operational excellence the company continues to demonstrate, I'm having a hard time thinking of a company that is more set for long-term success than TSMC.Whether it's generative AI, smartphones, servers, or whatever the next five or ten secular trends appear to entail, TSMC is positioned to profit from whatever comes down the pipe. Yes, there is the risk that competitors will catch up and margins will fall off slightly. Or, that an economic recession will cripple end-user demand and cause major capacity utilization issues. AI could end up being massively scaled back due to a lack of applications. However, there will always be someone willing to pay a hefty sum for a contract manufacturer that can deliver on the bleeding edge, on time, and within specifications.With how much cash TSMC is pulling in, I expect to see a steady increase in the dividend over the foreseeable future:Data by YChartsIt has already begun creeping up, but with the payout ratio falling and cash piling up on the balance sheet, I expect the company to begin returning capital to shareholders at a higher rate. In fact, one of my main criticisms would be management's current reluctance to spend cash, so I'll be keeping a watchful eye on that in the coming quarters and years.While the valuation might be considered rich at a forward P/E of around 28, the high revenue base paired with robust growth and best-in-class margins makes the stock attractive. Beyond just next year's earnings, TSMC's market position is perhaps one of the best of any company in the market today and I intend to hold my shares for a very long time, if not forever.Investor TakeawayTSMC is the undisputed leader in a sector that will be critical for corporate and national security interests for decades to come. The company is generating record revenue, earnings, margins, and cash flow on the back of secular trends like AI and will continue to benefit whatever the next trend may be. Operational excellence and unparalleled execution have made and will continue to make TSMC the go-to foundry of choice for the world's top tech companies.While the stock may waffle or drop in the coming years, whether due to a dip in AI demand or the specter of an economic recession or the arrival of an actual economic recession, I will use that as an opportunity to add to my position. I'm rating TSM a Strong Buy, and it's a stock I intend to own forever.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":528,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360875790336304,"gmtCreate":1729145875843,"gmtModify":1729145879854,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"He

Impax had been looking for a way in, but Nvidia “was expensive.” That is, “until it had a selloff.”</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/97ee59f46aa0ddbad37109df8339cc8d\" alt=\"Ian Simm\" title=\"Ian Simm\" tg-width=\"1997\" tg-height=\"1331\"/><span>Ian Simm</span></p><p>Nvidia’s share-price slump earlier this year resulted in a peak-to-trough decline in its market value of close to $1 trillion. Though much of that has since been recouped, Simm says he thinks the company’s current valuation of more than $3.2 trillion understates what it’s really worth.</p><p>Established in 1998, Impax has made a name for itself as a giant among asset managers focused on the transition to a more sustainable economy. Simm says that goal should be compatible with making money for his clients. But it’s been a tough sell of late.</p><p>Over the past couple of years, a spike in interest rates, an energy crisis and the ascent of the so-called Magnificent Seven of technology behemoths have turned green investing into a losing bet. Impax’s own share price is down almost 30% this year, while the S&P Global Clean Energy Index has lost more than 10%. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is up more than 20% in the same period.</p><p>Earlier this week, Impax reported results that showed gains in listed equities of £5.3 billion ($6.9 billion) for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30. Still, that was less than the £5.8 billion of net outflows that Impax suffered in the period.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/47d9ff61fa44f42ca04aa964a6520ca2\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\"/></p><p>Simm says Impax is learning from the past few years and focusing more on Big Tech, as it looks for undervalued opportunities to generate bigger returns.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Frankly, we’ve underperformed for the last couple of years in our main strategies because we’ve been more growth-at-a-reasonable-price, staying away from the momentum and hype around mega-cap tech investing,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">As Nvidia’s share price was falling in June, Impax more than tripled its stake in the company to 4.9 million shares by the end of the month from 1.4 million shares at the end of the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and confirmed by Impax.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Simm says Impax still considers Nvidia to be undervalued when taking into account how the boom in artificial intelligence is expected to drive demand for its chips.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e63409af9d4285f9000a4bc407dc8f16\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\"/></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Simm says holding Nvidia, which like other technology giants needs to consume vast stores of energy to power its growth, also makes investing sense from a climate perspective. As demand for energy continues to increase, Nvidia and other companies that develop more efficient models will be better for the environment, he says.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are beginning to roll out to customers this year, would need 3 gigawatts of power to develop OpenAI’s GPT-4 software, the company said at an event earlier this month. Ten years ago, that process would have required 5,500 gigawatts, the chipmaker said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Nvidia’s ability to deliver energy savings makes it even more valuable,” Simm said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Impax holds Nvidia in five strategies and funds. That includes its Global Opportunities portfolio, which is limited to 40 stocks and consists of companies that have a diversified business model, operate in high-growth markets and are “out of favor for whatever reason,” Simm said. Microsoft Corp. is included because Impax thinks it’s undervalued “in the context of the secular trend toward more AI,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In fact, “the whole industrial space” now looks undervalued, Simm said. That may change as a “soft landing in the US” looks increasingly likely, which is helping restore confidence, he said. The cost of capital is falling and consumer sentiment is stabilizing, so equity “is looking more attractive.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Impax had been looking for a way in, but Nvidia “was expensive.” That is, “until it had a selloff.”Ian SimmNvidia’s share-price slump earlier this year resulted in a peak-to-trough decline in its market value of close to $1 trillion. Though much of that has since been recouped, Simm says he thinks the company’s current valuation of more than $3.2 trillion understates what it’s really worth.Established in 1998, Impax has made a name for itself as a giant among asset managers focused on the transition to a more sustainable economy. Simm says that goal should be compatible with making money for his clients. But it’s been a tough sell of late.Over the past couple of years, a spike in interest rates, an energy crisis and the ascent of the so-called Magnificent Seven of technology behemoths have turned green investing into a losing bet. Impax’s own share price is down almost 30% this year, while the S&P Global Clean Energy Index has lost more than 10%. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is up more than 20% in the same period.Earlier this week, Impax reported results that showed gains in listed equities of £5.3 billion ($6.9 billion) for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30. Still, that was less than the £5.8 billion of net outflows that Impax suffered in the period.Simm says Impax is learning from the past few years and focusing more on Big Tech, as it looks for undervalued opportunities to generate bigger returns.“Frankly, we’ve underperformed for the last couple of years in our main strategies because we’ve been more growth-at-a-reasonable-price, staying away from the momentum and hype around mega-cap tech investing,” he said.As Nvidia’s share price was falling in June, Impax more than tripled its stake in the company to 4.9 million shares by the end of the month from 1.4 million shares at the end of the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and confirmed by Impax.Simm says Impax still considers Nvidia to be undervalued when taking into account how the boom in artificial intelligence is expected to drive demand for its chips.Simm says holding Nvidia, which like other technology giants needs to consume vast stores of energy to power its growth, also makes investing sense from a climate perspective. As demand for energy continues to increase, Nvidia and other companies that develop more efficient models will be better for the environment, he says.Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are beginning to roll out to customers this year, would need 3 gigawatts of power to develop OpenAI’s GPT-4 software, the company said at an event earlier this month. Ten years ago, that process would have required 5,500 gigawatts, the chipmaker said.“Nvidia’s ability to deliver energy savings makes it even more valuable,” Simm said.Impax holds Nvidia in five strategies and funds. That includes its Global Opportunities portfolio, which is limited to 40 stocks and consists of companies that have a diversified business model, operate in high-growth markets and are “out of favor for whatever reason,” Simm said. Microsoft Corp. is included because Impax thinks it’s undervalued “in the context of the secular trend toward more AI,” he said.In fact, “the whole industrial space” now looks undervalued, Simm said. That may change as a “soft landing in the US” looks increasingly likely, which is helping restore confidence, he said. The cost of capital is falling and consumer sentiment is stabilizing, so equity “is looking more attractive.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357210608128416,"gmtCreate":1728213031045,"gmtModify":1728218160717,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Analysts can all go eat shit .

The stock might seem expensive with a forward earnings multiple of 30.8. However, Nvidia's price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio based on five-year growth projections is an attractive 0.93. Palantir's forward earnings multiple is a sky-high 87 with a PEG ratio of 1.88.</p><h2 id=\"id_285544397\">Is Wall Street right about Nvidia and Palantir?</h2><p>I'm not sure if Nvidia's shares will jump another 27% and Palantir's shares will fall 25% over the next 12 months as the average analysts' price targets project. My hunch is analysts aren't super-confident about those price targets, either.</p><p>However, I do agree with the Wall Street consensus that Nvidia is a better stock to buy right now than Palantir. If the demand for AI chips slows, Nvidia could be in trouble with its premium valuation. That doesn't seem likely at this point, though. With Blackwell on the way, I expect Nvidia will keep up its winning ways.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

My hunch is analysts aren't super-confident about those price targets, either.However, I do agree with the Wall Street consensus that Nvidia is a better stock to buy right now than Palantir. If the demand for AI chips slows, Nvidia could be in trouble with its premium valuation. That doesn't seem likely at this point, though. With Blackwell on the way, I expect Nvidia will keep up its winning ways.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":479,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353484007502120,"gmtCreate":1727336694132,"gmtModify":1727343806325,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All bullshit analysts.

Micron released its fiscal Q4 result on September 25th after the market close, with a better-than-expected outlook for Q1 FY25. I am encouraged by the rapid growth in Micron's High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products and their plan for capacity expansion. I am upgrading Micron stock to a "Strong Buy" rating with a fair value of $160 per share.</p><h2 id=\"id_3410395876\">HBM Growth Continues in 2025</h2><p>Over the earnings call, Micron's management indicated that HBM consumed 1.5% of the industry's bits with a total addressable market (TAM) of $4 billion in 2023. However, in 2025, they anticipate the HBM will represent around 6% of total bits with the TAM expanding to $25 billion. As discussed in my previous coverage, Micron, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SSNGY\">Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.</a> (OTCPK:SSNLF) and SK hynix Inc. (OTCPK:HXSCF), the three major HBM suppliers, have been expanding their manufacturing capacities for HBM products. As such, I anticipate the supply constraints will slightly improve in 2025.</p><p>With the technological advancement in GPUs, more HBMs are required in graphic cards. For instance, NVIDIA Corporation's (NVDA) H200 features a total of 141 GB of HBM3e memory across six HBM3e stacks. In contrast, the H100 only has 80 GB of HBM3 memory. To achieve higher performance computing, these GPUs rely on increased HBM memories to store temporary data. As such, the rapid growth of AI and high-performance computing is driving the demand for Micron's HBM products, and I anticipate this momentum will sustain into 2025.</p><p>During the earnings call, the management said it expects to ramp their HBM3E 12-high output in early 2025 and increase the 12-high mix in their shipments throughout 2025. It is encouraging to see their management confirm that HBM will generate multiple billions of dollars of revenue in FY25, indicating a strong confidence in the end market demands.</p><p>Due to the strong growth in Compute/Networking and storage businesses, Micron delivered 93.3% revenue growth during the quarter, finishing FY24 with a 61.6% year-over-year growth.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/3fdb83a07e4b03750549a22dad6917cf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"306\"/></p><p>Micron Quarterly Earnings</p><p></p><h2 id=\"id_1990705561\">Capacity Expansion</h2><p>Another key takeaway from the quarter is their future plan for capacity expansions. The company plans to spend $8.1 billion in capital expenditure in FY25, with growth in both greenfield fab construction and HBM capex investments comprising the majority of CAPEX spending. The significant CAPEX spending underscores the strong demands for the DRAM and NAND market, driven by rapid data center and AI workloads.</p><p>Micron's competitors, including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, are also increasing capital spending for their HBM products, as discussed in my previous coverage. As such, I think Micron is making the necessary investments to meet the fast-growing demand for HBMs.</p><h2 id=\"id_4254752383\">Outlook and Valuation</h2><p>As shown in the table below, Micron is guiding for $8.7 billion plus or minus $200 million in revenue for Q1 FY25, beating the market expectations.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/56fa6000315f8df16339b08dfedd84e2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"518\"/></p><p>Micron Investor Presentation</p><p></p><p>I am considering the following factors for their near-term growth:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>As Micron's manufacturing capacity has already been committed by their customers for FY25 and FY26, their business growth will be subject to their capacity. For FY25, I estimate the company can generate more than $37 billion in revenue, representing around 50% year-over-year growth.</p></li><li><p>As AI investments are primarily coming from hyperscalers and data center service providers currently, there is a considerable runway for future growth when AI enters the inference stage. Enterprises are expected to increase their investments gradually in edge AI computing, which will contribute to the growth of Micron, in my view. As such, I anticipate Micron's revenue will grow by 30% in FY26, reflecting the increasing investments from enterprise customers.</p></li><li><p>For the normalized growth from FY27 onwards, I continue to forecast Micron will grow by 8%, aligned with the industry growth.</p></li><li><p>I lowered my margin expansion assumptions in the current model, as Micron will invest heavily in their CAPEX in the near future, which will increase their depreciation costs. The high depreciation costs will pose challenges for their margin expansion. As such, I only model 10bps annual margin expansion, primarily driven by operating leverage.</p></li><li><p>I changed the WACC to 11.2% assuming: risk-free 3.8%; beta 1.34; equity risk premium 7%; cost of debt 5%; equity balance $44 billion; debt $13 billion; tax rate 10%.</p></li></ul><p>With these assumptions, the DCF can be summarized as follows:</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/43cd89b24f248275e44fae6abfdc0279\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"260\"/></p><p>Micron DCF</p><p></p><p>Discounting all the free cash flow, the fair value is calculated to be $160 per share, according to the discounted cash flow ("DCF") model.</p><h2 id=\"id_3742124199\">Key Risks</h2><p>Thanks to the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, Micron will receive $6.1 billion from the U.S. government for their capacity expansion in New York and Idaho. Including the government support, Micron has committed to investing $100 billion in New York over the next two decades. It is a long-term and substantial commitment for Micron. With the coming Presidential election, there may be some uncertainties regarding their capacity expansion and government support in the U.S.</p><p>During the earnings call, the management indicated that their investment in Idaho and New York will not contribute to bit supply in fiscal 2025 and 2026. As such, the investments will take several years before they begin to drive revenue growth for Micron.</p><h2 id=\"id_142723668\">Conclusion</h2><p>I favor Micron's technology advantages in the HBM market, with structural growth drivers from AI and high-performance computing workloads. The potential capacity expansion will boost Micron's business growth in the future. I am upgrading Micron stock to a "Strong Buy" rating with a fair value of $160 per share.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Micron Q4: HBM Growth Continues In 2025, Upgrade To Strong Buy</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nMicron Q4: HBM Growth Continues In 2025, Upgrade To Strong Buy\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-09-26 15:32 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4723323-micron-q4-hbm-growth-continues-in-2025-upgrade-to-strong-buy><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Upgraded Micron Technology, Inc. to “Strong Buy” with a fair value of $160 per share, driven by rapid HBM3E growth and capacity expansion plans.The HBM market is expected to grow significantly, with ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4723323-micron-q4-hbm-growth-continues-in-2025-upgrade-to-strong-buy\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4723323-micron-q4-hbm-growth-continues-in-2025-upgrade-to-strong-buy","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2470246166","content_text":"Upgraded Micron Technology, Inc. to “Strong Buy” with a fair value of $160 per share, driven by rapid HBM3E growth and capacity expansion plans.The HBM market is expected to grow significantly, with Micron's HBM products projected to generate multiple billions in revenue by FY25.Micron plans $8.1 billion in CAPEX for FY25, focusing on greenfield fab construction and HBM investments to meet rising demand.Anticipate 50% revenue growth in FY25 and 30% in FY26, driven by AI and high-performance computing, despite high depreciation costs.mesh cube/iStock via Getty ImagesI reiterated my \"Buy\" rating for Micron Technology, Inc.

They were down 38% to $98 at their lowest levels during this summertime drop. Through it all, the stock—which was flat in early trading Monday, while the benchmark S&P 500 were up 0.2%—remains up just about tenfold over the past five years. </p><p>But investors should not rush for the exits: Research shows that a drop like this is normal, and even expected, for a stock like Nvidia, which has seen exponential growth in its share price.</p><p>A combination of related factors have driven shares of the artificial-intelligence leader lower. When Nvidia stock hit $135, investors took profits by selling. Emerging competition from chip makers such as Advanced Micro Devices threaten a small portion of Nvidia’s sales, making the smaller AMD maybe a more compelling buy at this point. And while AI chips are experiencing high and accelerating demand, everyone knows the growth for all chip makers will slow within the next few years. </p><p>That’s not the end of Nvidia’s storybook journey. It’s completely normal for rare stocks with explosive growth curves to experience large declines periodically. Historically, the average maximum drawdown for stocks that went up tenfold in a five-year period is 48%, according to Trivariate Research’s analysis of 84 stocks that have achieved this feat.</p><p>The worst selloff is also nothing to worry about. Of the 84 names that Trivariate identified, the largest pullback was 89% for GameStop over the course of just over three years. But that stock is an outlier; GameStop didn’t rise because of company fundamentals. In fact, its earnings have beenshrinkingand its tenfold return in early 2021 was driven bythe Reddit meme stock craze.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Nvidia is nothing like GameStop. Analysts still expect the chip company to post double-digit annual earnings growth, in percent terms, over the next several years, according to FactSet. Nvidia stock now trades at a lower multiple of near-term earnings estimates, so continued earnings growth could take the shares higher from here.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That outlook makes Nvidia more like Tesla, which went up by more than 10 times during the five years ended in May 2017. Electric-vehicle demand, like chip demand today, was exploding. Within that five-year stretch, Tesla stock’s worst drawdown was 50% over a year-and-a-half period that ended in February 2016. Since then, shares have rocketed another 20 times.

All components ended in positive territory, with shares of Nvidia Corp. $(NVDA)$ rising nearly 4%, shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. $(AMD)$ gaining 5.7% and shares of Marvell Technology Inc. $(MRVL)$ posting a 4.7% climb.The interest-rate move is just one catalyst that could drive further growth for the technology sector, according to Ives. \"The Fed and Powell kicked off its aggressive rate-cutting cycle this week, macro soft landing remains the path and tech spending on AI remains a generational spending cycle just starting to hit the shores of the tech sector,\" he wrote.Mizuho desk-based analyst Jordan Klein agreed that the latest move and commentary from the Fed \"created more confidence in a soft-landing scenario,\" which he said could be interpreted positively for cyclical sectors like semiconductors. It also set up a \"risk-on backdrop and that helps semis a lot as they have been market leaders\" for much of 2024.But there are still business challenges for many portions of the chip sector that have been dealing with negative cyclical trends.Klein took a measured view of some aspects of the Fed-fueled rally, noting that short covering may have played a role in the magnitude of Thursday's moves. Hedge funds are \"generally skeptical and cautious\" on most areas of the semiconductor sector outside of \"compute\"-focused names, he told MarketWatch.Truist analyst William Stein also highlighted that chip-sector dichotomy in a Friday report that recapped recent meetings with semiconductor and AI players.\"The companies we visited exposed to AI made one thing clear - AI demand and spending is persistent, and in some cases accelerating,\" he wrote. Companies \"noted that demand for AI compute is outpacing availability.\"But those hoping for a rebound elsewhere in the semiconductor sector may be left wanting. \"As strong as AI demand is, the long-awaited demand recovery in the diversified end market semis remains in limbo,\" Stein wrote. He met with executives at Microchip Technology Inc. $(MCHP)$ and Diodes Inc. $(DIOD)$, who indicated \"elevated inventory, a slow inventory burn through under-shipping end demand and foggy end-market visibility.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":365633565065384,"gmtCreate":1730266578566,"gmtModify":1730266642276,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"You are stupid to sell TSM if bullish about semicon .

High computing power, energy efficiency, and sophisticated node technologies (such as 5nm and 3nm) are necessary for these processors. Several cloud service providers, AMD (AMD), and NVIDIA (NVDA) are among the major clients. More here.</p></li><li><p><strong>Smartphone</strong>: One of TSMC's biggest markets is smartphones, where it manufactures chipsets for mobile devices made by firms like Apple and Qualcomm. Because of TSMC's experience with cutting-edge nodes like 5nm, smartphone processors can operate at fast speeds while using little power, which is essential for mobile devices.</p></li><li><p><strong>Internet of Things (IOT)</strong>: For Internet of Things applications where low-power consumption is essential, TSMC produces energy-efficient processors. This market comprises wearables, sensors, and smart home appliances that must be durable and connected. IoT chips frequently have nodes like 22nm, 28nm, and specialist processes.</p></li><li><p><strong>Automotive</strong>: The automotive division of TSMC is primarily focused on semiconductors for in-car entertainment systems, electric vehicle (EV) power management, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Chips for automotive applications need to be strong, durable, and highly reliable. With specialized technologies like 16nm and 28nm, TSMC satisfies these expectations. It is also growing to suit the car industry's increased safety and automation needs.</p></li><li><p><strong>Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE)</strong>: For digital consumer goods where cost and performance balance are crucial, such as TVs, game consoles, and smart appliances, TSMC supplies chips. For high-volume consumer markets, this category frequently employs established technological nodes like 28nm to 65nm, striking a balance between price and capabilities.</p></li></ol><p>By focusing on these areas, TSMC can meet the various demands of the semiconductor industry while also making R&D investments to expand its capabilities for high-demand applications.</p><p>Their revenue was distributed in their latest earnings like follows:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2f83b80ceaa3be0cc298a03a653b8326\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"/></p><p>TSMC revenue by platform (investor.tsmc.com)</p><p>We will now assume growth rates for each of the segments.</p><h3 id=\"id_3306342760\">High-Performance Computing (HPC)</h3><p>Like mentioned above, this segment supplies chips for data centers, supercomputers and AI applications. The data center is expected to growth between 9.6% and 11.4% p.a. in the next several years. The AI market, on the other hand, is expected by experts to grow at rates between 20.4% and 36% p.a., with this in mind and assuming that most of this segment will grow like the AI market, a aggressive growth rate of 25% p.a. seems reasonable to assume.</p><h3 id=\"id_3194715189\">Smartphone</h3><p>The smartphone market is expected to achieve growth rates of 3.5% to 7.3% p.a. until 2029. The average of these assumptions is a CAGR of 5.4% p.a.</p><h3 id=\"id_364476125\">Internet of Things</h3><p>For the IoT segment, experts are assuming a growth rates between 11.4% and 24.3% p.a., meaning the average of 17% p.a. seems suitable for our following analysis.</p><h3 id=\"id_404837735\">Automotive</h3><p>The automotive semiconductor market has projected growth rates between 8.1% and 11.1% p.a. With this in mind, a growth rate of 9.6% seems like a good assumption for this segment.</p><h3 id=\"id_3569149873\">Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE)</h3><p>For the DCE segment, experts assume growth rates between 2.9% and 13.2% p.a., giving us an average of 8% p.a.</p><p>With weighing the different business segments according to the revenue share of the latest quarter, we get an anticipated revenue CAGR of 16.7% p.a. for the whole business of TSMC.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/8eb03fdcb7b0e2fcf5510213df6ac8a2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\"/></p><p>TSMC's Growth Prospects (own assumptions)</p><p>With this we can now anticipate different growth rates for the Bear-, Base- and Bull-Case scenario.</p><p>Bear: 13.4% p.a. / -20%</p><p>Base: 16.7% p.a.</p><p>Bull: 22% p.a. / +30%</p><h2 id=\"id_2089741151\">Discounted Cash Flow Analysis</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>EBIT Margin: </strong>Here I took the metrics of the last four years and averaged them out, to get a EBIT margin of 43.8%.</p></li><li><p><strong>Free Cash Flow: </strong>I once again took the EBIT to FCF metrics of the last few years to then average them out and use a EBIT to FCF conversion rate of 44% in the analysis.</p></li><li><p><strong>WACC: </strong>Here I used 9%, which is right around TSM's current WACC.</p></li><li><p><strong>Perpetuity Growth Rate: </strong>For the perpetuity growth rate, I used a conservative 3.5%.</p></li></ul><h3 id=\"id_2117684651\">Bear-Case</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/745c475136059bc98911b7b1359a5bb9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case I (own assumptions)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60e5aee283a53ea2ac8e637262953124\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"558\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case II (own assumptions)</p><p>Within our Bear-Case we get a fair value share price of $122, indicating that the company might be overvalued by 40%.

For reference the 5y revenue CAGR of TSM is at 20.5% and the 10y CAGR is right around 14.5%. Meaning that our assumptions are also right in the middle of historical growth rates.</p><h3 id=\"id_3385398777\">Bull-Case</h3><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dd6db610188a041c11783746ac9b320e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case I (own assumptions)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d27334e1f63c2c2b2097c3b4eac0e8b7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"538\"/></p><p>TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case II (own assumptions)</p><p>For our Bull-Case, we get a fair value estimate of $201, which translates into a potential overvaluation of 1%. This is, however, calculated with growth rates 30% higher than the underlying market rates of TSM's customers.</p><h2 id=\"id_2954487397\">Conclusion</h2><p>Within our analysis, we get the following mis-valuation:</p><p>Bear: $122 / 40% overvaluation</p><p>Base: $148 / 27% overvaluation</p><p>Bull: $201 / 1% overvaluation</p><p>Despite being the industry leader, TSM's FCF conversion rate is pretty low, mostly as a result of its significant capital expenditures (CAPEX) and continuous technological advancements. In order to create the newest process nodes (such as 3nm, 2nm, and beyond), TSM must continuously invest billions on state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and research. Although this investment puts short-term pressure on the current free cash flow conversion, it puts TSM in a position to maintain its advantage and increase its market share as demand for cutting-edge semiconductors rises across important sectors. The current FCF conversion, however, in my opinion, currently doesn't match with the dominant market position of TSM, resulting in lower valuations in our DCF analysis.</p><p>Given that investors see TSM as a vital supplier to the data processing and artificial intelligence sectors, the market's confidence over AI-driven development has greatly increased the company's stock price. This development, paired with the CAPEX intensive research and development in the semiconductor industry, lead to an overvaluation of TSM, when looking at the generated Free Cash Flow. The valuation appears to be very concerning when considering that even anticipated growth rates 30% higher than the expected rates of TSM's target markets for the next eight years still mean no undervaluation.</p><p>As a result, even though TSM has a very bright future and ideal market position, I think that TSMC has currently run too hot due to AI "euphoria", which is why I currently rate the company a <strong>Sell</strong>. I am nevertheless waiting for a better opportunity to re-enter this very high-quality stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_3204126093\">What’s Your Perspective?

OTC:TSMWF) stock has performed phenomenally due to the current AI hype in the market, as the company is positioned to highly benefit from the continuing adaption of AI.Data by YChartsIn this article, we will look at the different business segments that TSM is currently supplying, to assume a suitable growth rate for each customer segment and eventually evaluate the company using a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and the three scenarios Bear-, Base- and Bull-Case.Growth ProspectsEvery business area that TSMC serves has different semiconductor requirements:High-Performance Computing (HPC): For the production of cutting-edge chips that power data centers, supercomputers, AI applications, and gaming platforms, TSMC's HPC sector is essential. High computing power, energy efficiency, and sophisticated node technologies (such as 5nm and 3nm) are necessary for these processors. Several cloud service providers, AMD (AMD), and NVIDIA (NVDA) are among the major clients. More here.Smartphone: One of TSMC's biggest markets is smartphones, where it manufactures chipsets for mobile devices made by firms like Apple and Qualcomm. Because of TSMC's experience with cutting-edge nodes like 5nm, smartphone processors can operate at fast speeds while using little power, which is essential for mobile devices.Internet of Things (IOT): For Internet of Things applications where low-power consumption is essential, TSMC produces energy-efficient processors. This market comprises wearables, sensors, and smart home appliances that must be durable and connected. IoT chips frequently have nodes like 22nm, 28nm, and specialist processes.Automotive: The automotive division of TSMC is primarily focused on semiconductors for in-car entertainment systems, electric vehicle (EV) power management, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Chips for automotive applications need to be strong, durable, and highly reliable. With specialized technologies like 16nm and 28nm, TSMC satisfies these expectations. It is also growing to suit the car industry's increased safety and automation needs.Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE): For digital consumer goods where cost and performance balance are crucial, such as TVs, game consoles, and smart appliances, TSMC supplies chips. For high-volume consumer markets, this category frequently employs established technological nodes like 28nm to 65nm, striking a balance between price and capabilities.By focusing on these areas, TSMC can meet the various demands of the semiconductor industry while also making R&D investments to expand its capabilities for high-demand applications.Their revenue was distributed in their latest earnings like follows:TSMC revenue by platform (investor.tsmc.com)We will now assume growth rates for each of the segments.High-Performance Computing (HPC)Like mentioned above, this segment supplies chips for data centers, supercomputers and AI applications. The data center is expected to growth between 9.6% and 11.4% p.a. in the next several years. The AI market, on the other hand, is expected by experts to grow at rates between 20.4% and 36% p.a., with this in mind and assuming that most of this segment will grow like the AI market, a aggressive growth rate of 25% p.a. seems reasonable to assume.SmartphoneThe smartphone market is expected to achieve growth rates of 3.5% to 7.3% p.a. until 2029. The average of these assumptions is a CAGR of 5.4% p.a.Internet of ThingsFor the IoT segment, experts are assuming a growth rates between 11.4% and 24.3% p.a., meaning the average of 17% p.a. seems suitable for our following analysis.AutomotiveThe automotive semiconductor market has projected growth rates between 8.1% and 11.1% p.a. With this in mind, a growth rate of 9.6% seems like a good assumption for this segment.Digital Consumer Electronics (DCE)For the DCE segment, experts assume growth rates between 2.9% and 13.2% p.a., giving us an average of 8% p.a.With weighing the different business segments according to the revenue share of the latest quarter, we get an anticipated revenue CAGR of 16.7% p.a. for the whole business of TSMC.TSMC's Growth Prospects (own assumptions)With this we can now anticipate different growth rates for the Bear-, Base- and Bull-Case scenario.Bear: 13.4% p.a. / -20%Base: 16.7% p.a.Bull: 22% p.a. / +30%Discounted Cash Flow AnalysisEBIT Margin: Here I took the metrics of the last four years and averaged them out, to get a EBIT margin of 43.8%.Free Cash Flow: I once again took the EBIT to FCF metrics of the last few years to then average them out and use a EBIT to FCF conversion rate of 44% in the analysis.WACC: Here I used 9%, which is right around TSM's current WACC.Perpetuity Growth Rate: For the perpetuity growth rate, I used a conservative 3.5%.Bear-CaseTSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case I (own assumptions)TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bear-Case II (own assumptions)Within our Bear-Case we get a fair value share price of $122, indicating that the company might be overvalued by 40%. This however, factors in growth rates lower than the markets that are supplied by TSM.Base-CaseTSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Base-Case I (own assumptions)TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Base-Case II (own assumptions)For the Base-Case, we get a fair value share price estimate of $148, indicating that the company could be overvalued by 27%. For reference the 5y revenue CAGR of TSM is at 20.5% and the 10y CAGR is right around 14.5%. Meaning that our assumptions are also right in the middle of historical growth rates.Bull-CaseTSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case I (own assumptions)TSM Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Bull-Case II (own assumptions)For our Bull-Case, we get a fair value estimate of $201, which translates into a potential overvaluation of 1%. This is, however, calculated with growth rates 30% higher than the underlying market rates of TSM's customers.ConclusionWithin our analysis, we get the following mis-valuation:Bear: $122 / 40% overvaluationBase: $148 / 27% overvaluationBull: $201 / 1% overvaluationDespite being the industry leader, TSM's FCF conversion rate is pretty low, mostly as a result of its significant capital expenditures (CAPEX) and continuous technological advancements. In order to create the newest process nodes (such as 3nm, 2nm, and beyond), TSM must continuously invest billions on state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and research. Although this investment puts short-term pressure on the current free cash flow conversion, it puts TSM in a position to maintain its advantage and increase its market share as demand for cutting-edge semiconductors rises across important sectors. The current FCF conversion, however, in my opinion, currently doesn't match with the dominant market position of TSM, resulting in lower valuations in our DCF analysis.Given that investors see TSM as a vital supplier to the data processing and artificial intelligence sectors, the market's confidence over AI-driven development has greatly increased the company's stock price. This development, paired with the CAPEX intensive research and development in the semiconductor industry, lead to an overvaluation of TSM, when looking at the generated Free Cash Flow. The valuation appears to be very concerning when considering that even anticipated growth rates 30% higher than the expected rates of TSM's target markets for the next eight years still mean no undervaluation.As a result, even though TSM has a very bright future and ideal market position, I think that TSMC has currently run too hot due to AI \"euphoria\", which is why I currently rate the company a Sell. I am nevertheless waiting for a better opportunity to re-enter this very high-quality stock.What’s Your Perspective? Let’s Discuss!Thank you for reading my analysis!

Eighteen rated the stock as a "strong buy" (or equivalent rating). A whopping 37 analysts recommended Nvidia as a "buy." The remaining five analysts viewed the stock as a "hold."</p><p>The picture wasn't quite as rosy for Palantir. Of the 18 analysts surveyed by LSEG last month, only three recommended the stock as a "strong buy." Another three analysts rated Palantir as a "buy." Six analysts recommended holding the stock. Four rated the software stock as "underperform" while two others recommended selling Palantir's shares.</p><p>Wall Street's 12-month price targets for these two stocks further highlight the gap between them. The consensus price target for Nvidia reflects an upside potential of nearly 27%. The most optimistic analyst surveyed by LSEG thinks Nvidia's shares could soar another 73% over the next 12 months.</p><p>It's a much different story for Palantir. The average 12-month price target among the analysts surveyed by LSEG is roughly 25% <em>below</em> the current share price. The most optimistic analyst predicts Palantir could rise 37%.</p><h2 id=\"id_4106512475\">Why Nvidia enjoys much more support from analysts</h2><p>Wall Street likes Nvidia more than Palantir for several reasons. The most important factor is the different perceptions about the two companies' growth prospects. To be sure, analysts believe both Nvidia and Palantir can deliver strong growth. However, Nvidia dominates its market in a more powerful way than Palantir does.</p><p>Although Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs won't begin shipping as quickly as analysts would have preferred, they still expect Blackwell to be a huge commercial winner. I suspect some on Wall Street agree with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that Blackwell will be the most successful product in the company's history.</p><p>Analysts also see Nvidia as having a broader market opportunity. Organizations in pretty much every industry and of all sizes are scrambling to develop artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, driving the demand for Nvidia's GPUs. Palantir arguably has a more limited opportunity, with more than half of its total revenue stemming from government contracts.</p><p>Nvidia's financial metrics are much stronger than Palantir's as well. In the second quarter of 2024, the company's revenue soared 122% year over year to $30 billion. By comparison, Palantir's Q2 revenue rose 27% year over year to $678 million.</p><p>Wall Street no doubt prefers Nvidia's valuation, too. The stock might seem expensive with a forward earnings multiple of 30.8. However, Nvidia's price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio based on five-year growth projections is an attractive 0.93. Palantir's forward earnings multiple is a sky-high 87 with a PEG ratio of 1.88.</p><h2 id=\"id_285544397\">Is Wall Street right about Nvidia and Palantir?</h2><p>I'm not sure if Nvidia's shares will jump another 27% and Palantir's shares will fall 25% over the next 12 months as the average analysts' price targets project. My hunch is analysts aren't super-confident about those price targets, either.</p><p>However, I do agree with the Wall Street consensus that Nvidia is a better stock to buy right now than Palantir. If the demand for AI chips slows, Nvidia could be in trouble with its premium valuation. That doesn't seem likely at this point, though. With Blackwell on the way, I expect Nvidia will keep up its winning ways.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Of course, when we invest, there's always some unknowns and risks to take, but for me here, there's just way too many unknowns, which makes it a very illogical investment.</p><h2 id=\"id_1452235947\">Background</h2><p>SMCI has been on a crazy ride throughout 2024, rising from $28 back in January all the way up to $115 in March, which equates to a 307% increase in 3 months.</p><p>It then dropped down to $18 by November 15th, erasing 85% of the total market cap. This drop came after Ernst & Young (SMCI's auditor) resigned on October 24th. Ernst & Young cited reasons including:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Lack of trust in management</p></li><li><p>Weak internal controls</p></li><li><p>Lack of board independence</p></li></ul><p>When an auditor resigns from auditing a client the size of SMCI it's never a good sign. Auditors spend hours fighting to win over the biggest clients which allows them to rake in the huge audit fees, but when they deem the risk of being associated with a listed client to be far more negative than the huge audit fees they would receive, there's likely something out of the ordinary going on.</p><h2 id=\"id_146560957\">Here's why SMCI is not worth investing into.</h2><p>If this auditor resignation was a one-off issue, then I'd be inclined to give SMCI the benefit of doubt (though I'd still remain extremely cautious), but unfortunately this negativity around SMCI is not a one-off at all.</p><p>The past 6 years has seen:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>NASDAQ delisting</p></li><li><p>$17.5 million fine to SEC</p></li><li><p>Hindenburg Research (one of the most famous short sellers)</p></li><li><p>Department of Justice probe</p></li></ul><p>I'm going to go over each one of these to explain exactly what's happened and my take on them all.</p><h3 id=\"id_2241418678\">NASDAQ delisting - 2018</h3><p>SMCI was temporarily delisted from the NASDAQ stock exchange in August 2018 due to failure to comply with NASDAQ timelines of financial reports. Companies get delisted for many reasons, however the 3 main reasons are:</p><ol start=\"1\" style=\"\"><li><p>Voluntary delisting.</p></li><li><p>Falling below a certain market cap or $1.00 stock price.</p></li><li><p>Accounting issues/missed deadlines.</p></li></ol><p>Reason 3 is exactly why SMCI got delisted, and it tends to be the least common and perhaps most serious due to the internal inefficiencies. NASDAQ generally does have fairly long "grace periods" meaning SMCI failed to comply with the extended NASDAQ deadlines, something which has not happened to a company of SMCI's size in a long time.</p><h3 id=\"id_37544222\">Fine</h3><p>In 2020, SMCI paid a $17.5 million fine to the SEC for accounting violations in which they neither admitted nor denied the SEC findings. The violations were due to incorrect revenue recognition, understating expenses, and other accounting violations over a period of 3 years.</p><p>Arguably a one-off instance like this would not cause too much panic, but the continuous nature of this raises skepticism.</p><h3 id=\"id_1199563137\">Department of Justice</h3><p>On top of all this negativity, SMCI has an ongoing DoJ (Department of Justice) probe which is looking into accounting violations. DoJ probes are a big deal and are likely to have an overarching effect on the SMCI stock price even if all of all the other unknowns start to become more clear.</p><p>As I mentioned before with the Hindenburg research, we have to take their report with a pinch of salt since they are a short-seller after all. However, an investigation by the DoJ is much more serious and anything that comes up in that investigation will materially affect SMCI's future.</p><h3 id=\"id_494708400\">BDO Appointment</h3><p>The positive news after all of this is that SMCI managed to appoint BDO (the 5th largest accounting firm) after all of the above incidents, which has to be a win because it gives them hope to at least restore investor confidence, and prepare some financial statements. That's all the good news I can say about this though.</p><p>The bad news is that BDO isn't a big 4 company that SMCI would have appointed. BDO also has had poor results over recent years in terms of audit quality. To put it simply, SMCI would not have wanted to appoint an auditor outside of the Big 4. It's a shame that this is the way it is, but for a company in the S&P 500, Big 4 auditors are by far the most common. Unless there's a good reason not to appoint a Big 4 auditor, S&P 500 companies simply look a bit more questionable if they don't have a Big 4 company auditing them.</p><p>The other important thing to note is that even though SMCI has appointed a BDO, initial screening or conversations with EY (previous auditor) have not occurred. This was all disclosed in the 8-K but obviously wasn't part of the headlines. Simply what is happening is that BDO are the only company to at least consider looking at the SMCI books in the hope that everything is ok, and therefore they potentially have one of the biggest clients on the books.</p><p>In my opinion, realistically, the issues that EY found won't have been resolved and BDO will also likely find these issues, meaning they'll not sign off.</p><p>Let me take this even further. A first year audit takes a long time. It includes getting a very solid understanding of the company, the internal controls, previous period's numbers etc., etc. In my opinion, the entire process likely cannot happen before February 2025, which is when NASDAQ has granted a filing extension until.</p><p>If the BDO does manage to get all this work done, and assuming there's no issues found (unlikely in my opinion), there is still a chance of secondary reviews by regulators.</p><h2 id=\"id_4231930187\">So is SMCI a buy, sell, or hold?</h2><p>SMCI has performed well the last 3 weeks post appointment of auditor, BDO, plus a short squeeze. Whilst the share price shows some potential signs of recovery, I hope this article made it clear exactly how much risk there still is.</p><p>SMCI still has to get BDO to audit their financials by February without any findings, a potential secondary review, and also get through the DoJ investigation to essentially survive. If any of these come back with material findings, I think there's a very good chance that SMCI gets delisted, which will, of course, have material consequences for all investors.</p><p>Of course, I may be wrong here, and I may be overly worried about the legitimacy of the financials, but when there's hundreds and if not thousands of other stocks without any risk of these issues, I don't see why it's worth risking an investment into SMCI.</p><p>My overall take is that I'd give it a 50:50 chance as to whether SMCI recovers and, in my opinion, investing in them is much more gambling, rather than data driven, educated, smart investing.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1728464409321","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Of course, when we invest, there's always some unknowns and risks to take, but for me here, there's just way too many unknowns, which makes it a very illogical investment.BackgroundSMCI has been on a crazy ride throughout 2024, rising from $28 back in January all the way up to $115 in March, which equates to a 307% increase in 3 months.It then dropped down to $18 by November 15th, erasing 85% of the total market cap. This drop came after Ernst & Young (SMCI's auditor) resigned on October 24th. Ernst & Young cited reasons including:Lack of trust in managementWeak internal controlsLack of board independenceWhen an auditor resigns from auditing a client the size of SMCI it's never a good sign. Auditors spend hours fighting to win over the biggest clients which allows them to rake in the huge audit fees, but when they deem the risk of being associated with a listed client to be far more negative than the huge audit fees they would receive, there's likely something out of the ordinary going on.Here's why SMCI is not worth investing into.If this auditor resignation was a one-off issue, then I'd be inclined to give SMCI the benefit of doubt (though I'd still remain extremely cautious), but unfortunately this negativity around SMCI is not a one-off at all.The past 6 years has seen:NASDAQ delisting$17.5 million fine to SECHindenburg Research (one of the most famous short sellers)Department of Justice probeI'm going to go over each one of these to explain exactly what's happened and my take on them all.NASDAQ delisting - 2018SMCI was temporarily delisted from the NASDAQ stock exchange in August 2018 due to failure to comply with NASDAQ timelines of financial reports. Companies get delisted for many reasons, however the 3 main reasons are:Voluntary delisting.Falling below a certain market cap or $1.00 stock price.Accounting issues/missed deadlines.Reason 3 is exactly why SMCI got delisted, and it tends to be the least common and perhaps most serious due to the internal inefficiencies. NASDAQ generally does have fairly long \"grace periods\" meaning SMCI failed to comply with the extended NASDAQ deadlines, something which has not happened to a company of SMCI's size in a long time.FineIn 2020, SMCI paid a $17.5 million fine to the SEC for accounting violations in which they neither admitted nor denied the SEC findings. The violations were due to incorrect revenue recognition, understating expenses, and other accounting violations over a period of 3 years.Arguably a one-off instance like this would not cause too much panic, but the continuous nature of this raises skepticism.Department of JusticeOn top of all this negativity, SMCI has an ongoing DoJ (Department of Justice) probe which is looking into accounting violations. DoJ probes are a big deal and are likely to have an overarching effect on the SMCI stock price even if all of all the other unknowns start to become more clear.As I mentioned before with the Hindenburg research, we have to take their report with a pinch of salt since they are a short-seller after all. However, an investigation by the DoJ is much more serious and anything that comes up in that investigation will materially affect SMCI's future.BDO AppointmentThe positive news after all of this is that SMCI managed to appoint BDO (the 5th largest accounting firm) after all of the above incidents, which has to be a win because it gives them hope to at least restore investor confidence, and prepare some financial statements. That's all the good news I can say about this though.The bad news is that BDO isn't a big 4 company that SMCI would have appointed. BDO also has had poor results over recent years in terms of audit quality. To put it simply, SMCI would not have wanted to appoint an auditor outside of the Big 4. It's a shame that this is the way it is, but for a company in the S&P 500, Big 4 auditors are by far the most common. Unless there's a good reason not to appoint a Big 4 auditor, S&P 500 companies simply look a bit more questionable if they don't have a Big 4 company auditing them.The other important thing to note is that even though SMCI has appointed a BDO, initial screening or conversations with EY (previous auditor) have not occurred. This was all disclosed in the 8-K but obviously wasn't part of the headlines. Simply what is happening is that BDO are the only company to at least consider looking at the SMCI books in the hope that everything is ok, and therefore they potentially have one of the biggest clients on the books.In my opinion, realistically, the issues that EY found won't have been resolved and BDO will also likely find these issues, meaning they'll not sign off.Let me take this even further. A first year audit takes a long time. It includes getting a very solid understanding of the company, the internal controls, previous period's numbers etc., etc. In my opinion, the entire process likely cannot happen before February 2025, which is when NASDAQ has granted a filing extension until.If the BDO does manage to get all this work done, and assuming there's no issues found (unlikely in my opinion), there is still a chance of secondary reviews by regulators.So is SMCI a buy, sell, or hold?SMCI has performed well the last 3 weeks post appointment of auditor, BDO, plus a short squeeze. Whilst the share price shows some potential signs of recovery, I hope this article made it clear exactly how much risk there still is.SMCI still has to get BDO to audit their financials by February without any findings, a potential secondary review, and also get through the DoJ investigation to essentially survive. If any of these come back with material findings, I think there's a very good chance that SMCI gets delisted, which will, of course, have material consequences for all investors.Of course, I may be wrong here, and I may be overly worried about the legitimacy of the financials, but when there's hundreds and if not thousands of other stocks without any risk of these issues, I don't see why it's worth risking an investment into SMCI.My overall take is that I'd give it a 50:50 chance as to whether SMCI recovers and, in my opinion, investing in them is much more gambling, rather than data driven, educated, smart investing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":612,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":309390670422088,"gmtCreate":1716564512705,"gmtModify":1716564920240,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"She sold Nvidia right before price rocket","listText":"She sold Nvidia right before price rocket","text":"She sold Nvidia right before price rocket","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/309390670422088","repostId":"2437082356","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2437082356","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1716549974,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2437082356?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-05-24 19:26","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Sees a Great Depression-Like Search for Safety in the Stock Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2437082356","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Something funny happened in the market on Thursday: The most eagerly awaited report of the entire earnings season, Nvidia's, more than delivered, and while the chipmaker's investors benefited, the res","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Something funny happened in the market on Thursday: The most eagerly awaited report of the entire earnings season, Nvidia's, more than delivered, and while the chipmaker's investors benefited, the rest of the market slumped.

We feel the Nasdaq 100 does very little of that right now.\"She also points to an analysis done by Goldman Sachs earlier in the year, showing that the market cap of the largest stock relative to the 75th percentile ranked one is the highest since 1932.Her main point, along with a pessimistic reading of the U.S. economy, is that once interest rates start coming down, market gains will broaden out.\"Last year the market did seem to start moving ... in that direction, so that was the beginning we think of this move, but if we're right this [Goldman market concentration] chart would suggest the move has miles to go,\" she said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":394229326393568,"gmtCreate":1737273766858,"gmtModify":1737274131559,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"One minute said it is a threat to National Security , another minute said he will save it .

While the average analyst estimate was $7.58 billion, some projections were above $8 billion. Profit will be about $1.08 a share, minus certain items, versus a projection of $1.02.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Though Micron is getting a boost from the AI computing boom, demand is still sluggish in its traditional markets, such as personal computers and smartphones. Those areas are only beginning to recover from a historic slump last year.</p><p>In the third quarter, which ended May 30, Micron’s revenue rose 82% to $6.81 billion. The Boise, Idaho-based company reported a profit of 62 cents a share, excluding certain items. That compares with estimated sales of $6.67 billion and a projected profit of 50 cents a share.</p><p>Micron sells a vital component of AI hardware — high-bandwidth memory — that works with processors from Nvidia Corp. to crunch data. The memory, known as HBM, can serve up information more quickly, helping computing systems develop and run AI models.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Micron sold $100 million of new HBM3e chips in the just-completed quarter and predicts that total sales of high-bandwidth products will rise to “several hundred million dollars” in the current period. It will then increase to multiple billions in fiscal 2025, which runs through August of that year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Ramping up production of this new memory has been a challenge. Due to the difficulty of increasing factory output — and qualifying the chips to work with computer systems — supply effectively has a “hand brake on it,” Manish Bhatia, Micron’s executive vice president of global operations, said in an interview.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In light of those constraints, the company expects pricing to steadily increase. There’s also less chance of the memory market returning to an inventory glut, an issue that has long plagued the industry.</p><p>The company is on course to spend about $8 billion on new plants and equipment in fiscal 2024. That budget will increase materially next year in support of construction at sites in Idaho and in New York state.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Idaho facility won’t contribute to supply until fiscal 2027, with the New York site coming the following year, Micron said. But the timing may depend on Micron’s analysis of supply and demand.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In a slide presentation, the company said that PC-industry unit sales remain on track to increase by a percentage in the low single digits in calendar 2024.

They control how AI models process data and generate responses and predictions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":133,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377330251894912,"gmtCreate":1733150068739,"gmtModify":1733150072982,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to fly again....","listText":"Time to fly again....","text":"Time to fly again....","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377330251894912","repostId":"2488748126","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2488748126","kind":"live","pubTimestamp":1733148669,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2488748126?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-12-02 22:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Super Micro to Name New CFO, Says No Evidence of Misconduct","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2488748126","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Super Micro Computer Inc. said an external review of its business by a special committee of its boar","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Super Micro Computer Inc. said an external review of its business by a special committee of its board and external counsel found no evidence of wrongdoing and that the company will appoint new top financial leadership.</p><p>Super Micro shares surges 16% Premarket.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4529c3ac787a5cd0f639ac27ac3fe60f\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"792\" tg-height=\"831\"/></p><p>The company is looking for a new chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, and general counsel, it said in a statement Monday.

(NASDAQ:NVDA)</strong> beat investor's expectations with respect to sales and profits, yet the market didn't really respond as favorably to the company's earnings as it used to in the past. This, in my view, could indicate some short-term fatigue with regard to Nvidia's performance, which I think sets investors up for a doubling-down opportunity.</p><p>Nvidia's sales almost doubled YoY in the last quarter, and the GPU pioneer is still seeing a substantial scaling up of profits.</p><p>Nvidia's Blackwell-themed data center GPU is poised for release in the fourth quarter, which should boost the company's sales moving forward and which could provide a much-needed catalyst for Nvidia's stock.</p><p>In my view, the recent dip is a buying opportunity for long-term investors and I think that with Blackwell sales data soon going to be available, investors will rekindle their love affair with Nvidia.</p><h2 id=\"id_2547530644\">My Rating History</h2><p>My bullish view on Nvidia was underscored by a slew of factors including strong sales growth, high gross margins as well as the potential for GPU upscaling, which is the idea that the data center of the future will include substantially more GPUs within each cluster (possibly millions). This presents the GPU pioneer with a catalyst for sales and profit growth at the GPU pioneer.</p><p>Even though Nvidia's business is slowing down a bit, the potential to add substantial sales with regard to Blackwell makes the stock a 'Buy'.</p><h2 id=\"id_1619913988\">Nvidia's 1Q25: Strong Profit Growth, Upcoming Blackwell Launch Is A Catalyst</h2><p>The primary driver of Nvidia's outperformance once again was the data center industry, which is ripping GPUs out of Nvidia's hands as soon as they become available.</p><p>The unfolding revolution in AI, sustained by billions of dollars in investments in large-language models for which Nvidia's GPUs are needed, is turning out to be sustained growth catalyst for the GPU company: In 1Q25, Nvidia's sales skyrocketed 94% YoY to $35.1 billion, a quarterly record that has never been achieved before in the company's history.</p><p>The surge in sales is related primarily to Nvidia's GPUs that are delivered to data centers. This segment produced a whopping $30.8 billion in sales in 1Q25, 88% of the total, and up 112% YoY, reflecting the fastest growth in any of Nvidia's segments. Sales in the prior quarter were up 122% whereas data center sales climbed 154% YoY in 2Q25.</p><p>Unfortunately, Nvidia's sales have thus decelerated a bit, which may be one explanatory reason why investors have not reacted as positively as they used to in prior quarters.</p><p>With that said, it is noteworthy that Nvidia's profits are growing faster than its sales: Its total sales rose 94% in 1Q25 while its profits, on a per share basis, went up 111% YoY.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2699a13e4d5c670c2564ab022359ddcb\" alt=\"Q3 Fiscal 2025 Summary (Nvidia Corp.)\" title=\"Q3 Fiscal 2025 Summary (Nvidia Corp.)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"240\"/><span>Q3 Fiscal 2025 Summary (Nvidia Corp.)</span></p><p>Nvidia's gross margins, on a GAAP level, presently amount to 75% and edged lower only slightly QoQ, by 0.5 percentage points. Margins are a key indicator of pricing strength for Nvidia, and I anticipate that the shipment ramp of Blackwell GB200 AI servers will have a positive impact on Nvidia's margins in 2025.</p><p>GPU-accelerated computing is obviously providing a big revenue upscaling opportunity for Nvidia and though the GPU company suffered a bit of a deceleration in terms of its sales growth, I am generally bullish on Nvidia's potential for Blackwell chip sales.</p><p>The U.S. data center GPU market is expanding, and this growth is both persistent and accelerating, which is where Nvidia's Blackwell chip comes in: Blackwell is set to ship in the fourth calendar quarter with sales and shipments anticipated to scale up quickly in the first calendar quarter of 2025.</p><p>I anticipate that Nvidia could distribute 2 million Blackwell chips in 2025 (about 500K per quarter) which is poised to yield billions of dollars in incremental sales.</p><p>The company's CEO said earlier this year that he expects to sell the chip to data centers for $30-40K a piece, which would equate to $60-80 billion in incremental sales that Blackwell alone could contribute to Nvidia's bank accounts next year. Some of these sales, however, replace existing H100 sales, which are Nvidia's main GPU product so far.</p><p>With that said, Nvidia is poised to see a considerable boost in its sales and profits in 2025 and though investors have been well aware of this, the company's stock price has shown a lackluster response to Nvidia's earnings. This, on the flip side, creates a buying opportunity.</p><h2 id=\"id_2176249581\">Technical Chart Situation</h2><p>Nvidia's stock hardly reacted to the company's 1Q25 earnings a week ago, which could possibly indicate higher levels of investor fatigue when it comes to semiconductor companies. Nvidia's stock, technically speaking, is in fairly neutral territory, with the Relative Strength Index showcasing a value of 43.5 which makes NVDA neither overbought nor oversold.</p><p>NVDA, most recently, fell through both the 20-day and 50-day moving average trend lines, which creates a bit of bearish pressure for the stock in the short term, and I would not be surprised to see Nvidia fall towards 111.73 which is where the 200-day moving average line presently sits. This level should provide considerable support, however, and I would consider doubling down at this price level.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f3c6929b7c518d320952fbd996a7bce6\" alt=\"Moving Averages (Stockcharts.com)\" title=\"Moving Averages (Stockcharts.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"429\"/><span>Moving Averages (Stockcharts.com)</span></p><h2 id=\"id_1673770245\">How Cheap Is Nvidia?</h2><p>The market models $2.95 per share in profits for Nvidia in 2024, which reflects 127% profit growth YoY. In terms of sales, the market anticipates $129.1B which reflects sales growth YoY of 112%, so Nvidia is projected to continue to grow its profits at a quicker pace than its sales.</p><p>Since Nvidia's stock is presently changing hands for $136, the valuation implies a 2024 profit multiple of 46x. With profits again anticipated to grow 50% next year, the leading 2025 profit multiple decreases to 31x.</p><p><strong>Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)</strong> is selling for profit multiples of 41x (2024) and 27x (2025) and I just explained why AMD is a gift at its present price. I think that Nvidia is not necessarily cheap here with a leading profit multiple of 31x, but the semiconductor company has rarely been a real bargain.</p><p>Nvidia's stock is also considerable more expensive than Advanced Micro Devices, but AMD does not have a Blackwell chip, which, according to Nvidia, is already sold out.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/130621f85f0ca690125b7eb233fa73af\" alt=\"Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)\" title=\"Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"195\"/><span>Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)</span></p><h2 id=\"id_1380281184\">Why The Investment Thesis Might Be Wrong</h2><p>The investment thesis hinges primarily on the assumption that demand for GPUs will remain sky-high, and that companies will continue to allocate large chunks of their capital budgets to the purchase of AI-capable GPUs.</p><p>If those companies, which are mostly the biggest tech companies in the world, like Microsoft and Google, fail to achieve an adequate ROI on their investments, we could possibly see a retracement in spending on GPUs.

(NASDAQ:NVDA) beat investor's expectations with respect to sales and profits, yet the market didn't really respond as favorably to the company's earnings as it used to in the past. This, in my view, could indicate some short-term fatigue with regard to Nvidia's performance, which I think sets investors up for a doubling-down opportunity.Nvidia's sales almost doubled YoY in the last quarter, and the GPU pioneer is still seeing a substantial scaling up of profits.Nvidia's Blackwell-themed data center GPU is poised for release in the fourth quarter, which should boost the company's sales moving forward and which could provide a much-needed catalyst for Nvidia's stock.In my view, the recent dip is a buying opportunity for long-term investors and I think that with Blackwell sales data soon going to be available, investors will rekindle their love affair with Nvidia.My Rating HistoryMy bullish view on Nvidia was underscored by a slew of factors including strong sales growth, high gross margins as well as the potential for GPU upscaling, which is the idea that the data center of the future will include substantially more GPUs within each cluster (possibly millions). This presents the GPU pioneer with a catalyst for sales and profit growth at the GPU pioneer.Even though Nvidia's business is slowing down a bit, the potential to add substantial sales with regard to Blackwell makes the stock a 'Buy'.Nvidia's 1Q25: Strong Profit Growth, Upcoming Blackwell Launch Is A CatalystThe primary driver of Nvidia's outperformance once again was the data center industry, which is ripping GPUs out of Nvidia's hands as soon as they become available.The unfolding revolution in AI, sustained by billions of dollars in investments in large-language models for which Nvidia's GPUs are needed, is turning out to be sustained growth catalyst for the GPU company: In 1Q25, Nvidia's sales skyrocketed 94% YoY to $35.1 billion, a quarterly record that has never been achieved before in the company's history.The surge in sales is related primarily to Nvidia's GPUs that are delivered to data centers. This segment produced a whopping $30.8 billion in sales in 1Q25, 88% of the total, and up 112% YoY, reflecting the fastest growth in any of Nvidia's segments. Sales in the prior quarter were up 122% whereas data center sales climbed 154% YoY in 2Q25.Unfortunately, Nvidia's sales have thus decelerated a bit, which may be one explanatory reason why investors have not reacted as positively as they used to in prior quarters.With that said, it is noteworthy that Nvidia's profits are growing faster than its sales: Its total sales rose 94% in 1Q25 while its profits, on a per share basis, went up 111% YoY.Q3 Fiscal 2025 Summary (Nvidia Corp.)Nvidia's gross margins, on a GAAP level, presently amount to 75% and edged lower only slightly QoQ, by 0.5 percentage points. Margins are a key indicator of pricing strength for Nvidia, and I anticipate that the shipment ramp of Blackwell GB200 AI servers will have a positive impact on Nvidia's margins in 2025.GPU-accelerated computing is obviously providing a big revenue upscaling opportunity for Nvidia and though the GPU company suffered a bit of a deceleration in terms of its sales growth, I am generally bullish on Nvidia's potential for Blackwell chip sales.The U.S. data center GPU market is expanding, and this growth is both persistent and accelerating, which is where Nvidia's Blackwell chip comes in: Blackwell is set to ship in the fourth calendar quarter with sales and shipments anticipated to scale up quickly in the first calendar quarter of 2025.I anticipate that Nvidia could distribute 2 million Blackwell chips in 2025 (about 500K per quarter) which is poised to yield billions of dollars in incremental sales.The company's CEO said earlier this year that he expects to sell the chip to data centers for $30-40K a piece, which would equate to $60-80 billion in incremental sales that Blackwell alone could contribute to Nvidia's bank accounts next year. Some of these sales, however, replace existing H100 sales, which are Nvidia's main GPU product so far.With that said, Nvidia is poised to see a considerable boost in its sales and profits in 2025 and though investors have been well aware of this, the company's stock price has shown a lackluster response to Nvidia's earnings. This, on the flip side, creates a buying opportunity.Technical Chart SituationNvidia's stock hardly reacted to the company's 1Q25 earnings a week ago, which could possibly indicate higher levels of investor fatigue when it comes to semiconductor companies. Nvidia's stock, technically speaking, is in fairly neutral territory, with the Relative Strength Index showcasing a value of 43.5 which makes NVDA neither overbought nor oversold.NVDA, most recently, fell through both the 20-day and 50-day moving average trend lines, which creates a bit of bearish pressure for the stock in the short term, and I would not be surprised to see Nvidia fall towards 111.73 which is where the 200-day moving average line presently sits. This level should provide considerable support, however, and I would consider doubling down at this price level.Moving Averages (Stockcharts.com)How Cheap Is Nvidia?The market models $2.95 per share in profits for Nvidia in 2024, which reflects 127% profit growth YoY. In terms of sales, the market anticipates $129.1B which reflects sales growth YoY of 112%, so Nvidia is projected to continue to grow its profits at a quicker pace than its sales.Since Nvidia's stock is presently changing hands for $136, the valuation implies a 2024 profit multiple of 46x. With profits again anticipated to grow 50% next year, the leading 2025 profit multiple decreases to 31x.Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is selling for profit multiples of 41x (2024) and 27x (2025) and I just explained why AMD is a gift at its present price. I think that Nvidia is not necessarily cheap here with a leading profit multiple of 31x, but the semiconductor company has rarely been a real bargain.Nvidia's stock is also considerable more expensive than Advanced Micro Devices, but AMD does not have a Blackwell chip, which, according to Nvidia, is already sold out.Earnings Estimate (Yahoo Finance)Why The Investment Thesis Might Be WrongThe investment thesis hinges primarily on the assumption that demand for GPUs will remain sky-high, and that companies will continue to allocate large chunks of their capital budgets to the purchase of AI-capable GPUs.If those companies, which are mostly the biggest tech companies in the world, like Microsoft and Google, fail to achieve an adequate ROI on their investments, we could possibly see a retracement in spending on GPUs. Such a retracement could do considerable damage to Nvidia's margins and valuation.My ConclusionNvidia's 1Q25 earnings were great on a variety of fronts, but investors seem to display some kind of fatigue, which translates into lackluster interest in the semiconductor company despite robust results.Nvidia did well in terms of sales, gross margins and profits, and the earnings presentation painted the picture of a company that is moving forward on all fronts, particularly in data centers. Nvidia's profit growth is something that I was particularly impressed by, as its profits grew even quicker than its sales. Nvidia is seeing a deceleration of its sales growth right now, which might explain why Nvidia's stock dipped after earnings.With that said, the long-term trajectory of Nvidia favors the company greatly and with the Blackwell GB200 AI servers shipping in the fourth quarter, I think Nvidia has a catalyst for sales and profit growth in 2025 that the market ultimately will want to reward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":277,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352503567298648,"gmtCreate":1727100417507,"gmtModify":1727100421355,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"When Blackwell starts shipping everyone would say : I should have bought in Q3","listText":"When Blackwell starts shipping everyone would say : I should have bought in Q3","text":"When Blackwell starts shipping everyone would say : I should have bought in Q3","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/352503567298648","repostId":"2469159203","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2469159203","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1727100000,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2469159203?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-09-23 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia Stock Is in a Slump.

Electric-vehicle demand, like chip demand today, was exploding. Within that five-year stretch, Tesla stock’s worst drawdown was 50% over a year-and-a-half period that ended in February 2016. Since then, shares have rocketed another 20 times. Yes, EV competition has emerged, but overall industry growth has still benefited Tesla. Maybe Nvidia has a similar future. Just hold on for the long-term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346585977221312,"gmtCreate":1725645045657,"gmtModify":1725645049688,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Whatever your fair value is irrelevant.

When I last covered Google with a buy rating in June, I liked the consistency of its double beats. The prospects of continued improvements in YouTube Shorts monetization and continued momentum in Google Cloud were additional pluses. On the dividend front, Google's starting payout ratio was low enough to give it a lengthy runway for future payout growth. Finally, the valuation was appealing enough to justify a buy rating.</p><p>Today, I'm upgrading Google to a strong buy rating. The company once again exceeded analysts' expectations, posting a double beat. Cloud crossed two major milestones in the second quarter and has more room for growth. Google's net cash position is monstrous.

The company's total revenue climbed 13.6% higher year-over-year to $84.7 billion in the quarter. This was thanks to a 6% growth rate in paid clicks and a 7% improvement in cost-per-click. That revenue figure exceeded the Seeking Alpha analyst consensus for the quarter by $445 million.</p><p>Growth in every aspect of the business besides the Google Network (a 5.2% decline to $7.4 billion from reduced AdMob revenue) was to credit for this topline growth.</p><p>The bulk of the growth was driven by Google Search. Google Search's revenue rose by 13.8% over the year-ago period to $48.5 billion during the second quarter. This was the result of advertiser spending growth, ad formats and delivery improvements, and mobile user adoption driving increased search queries.</p><p>YouTube ads revenue increased by 13% year-over-year to $8.7 billion in the second quarter. Increased advertising spending drove the growth of its direct-response advertising products.</p><p>Google subscriptions revenue rose by 14.4% over the year-ago period to $9.3 billion for the second quarter. Paid subscriber growth of services like YouTube TV and YouTube Music fueled this topline growth.</p><p>Lastly, Google Cloud's revenue surged 28.8% year-over-year to $10.3 billion during the second quarter. Continued adoption of the Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace offerings pushed quarterly revenue past $10 billion for the first time. Additionally, operating profit passed $1 billion for the first time per CEO Sundar Pichai's opening remarks during the Q2 2024 Earnings Call.</p><p>Google's diluted EPS soared 31.3% over the year-ago period to $1.89 in the second quarter. This came in at $0.04 ahead of Seeking Alpha's analyst consensus for the period. As a result of disciplined cost management, the company's total costs only increased by 8.6% year-over-year to $57.3 billion during the quarter.</p><p>This helped Google's net profit margin expand by over 220 basis points to 27.9% in the second quarter. That is how diluted EPS growth outpaced revenue growth for the quarter.</p><p>For 2024, the FAST Graphs analyst consensus for diluted EPS is in line with recent growth. The figure of $7.65 would represent a 31.9% growth rate over the 2023 base of $5.80.</p><p>In the years ahead, the growth outlook remains firmly in the double-digits. For 2025, diluted EPS is expected to rise by 13.1% to $8.65. In 2026, another 15.5% growth in diluted EPS to $9.99 is currently being projected.</p><p>Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler noted in his opening remarks that YouTube Shorts monetization improved again in the second quarter. Since this was just launched in the fourth quarter of last year, it's reasonable to expect that improvements will continue in the quarters ahead. That can help to drive growth for Google beyond this year.</p><p>Another factor that bodes well for the company is continued Cloud growth. As I outlined in my prior article, the majority of Gen AI startups and Gen AI unicorns are Google Cloud customers. So, startups <em>and</em> established businesses alike are turning to Google Cloud. This should only continue in the quarters ahead and be a growth tailwind for Google.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ed2415c685cb2de54b5947e0ce83861a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"610\"/></p><p>Google Q2 2024 Earnings Press Release</p><p></p><p>Turning my attention to Google's balance sheet, the company's financial health is immaculate.

That's why I continue to think that 15% to 20% annual dividend growth will be the norm for the foreseeable future.</p><p>Google hasn't made any dividend boosts official yet.

Behind Broadcom's (AVGO) 4.3% weight, it is my portfolio's second-biggest holding.This is still underweight versus the 3.7% weighting in the S&P 500. But I'm planning to boost this position further in the weeks and months ahead. The company's growth prospects remain admirable. Google's balance sheet is immensely impressive. The cherry on top is that shares are priced at a bargain valuation. That's why I'm upgrading Google to a strong buy for now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320072234557456,"gmtCreate":1719129682113,"gmtModify":1719129688068,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla will go bust","listText":"Tesla will go bust","text":"Tesla will go bust","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/320072234557456","repostId":"2445911746","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2445911746","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1719108000,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2445911746?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-06-23 10:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock: 2 Catalysts That Indicate a Turnaround","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2445911746","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has performed poorly over the past 12 months due to several factors, ranging from strong competition in the EV space to CEO Elon Musk’s distractions from the company, all exa","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tesla stock has performed poorly over the past 12 months due to several factors, ranging from strong competition in the EV space to CEO Elon Musk’s distractions from the company, all exacerbated by valuation concerns.

Musk's other companies include rocket venture SpaceX and Neuralink, which develops brain implants.</p><h2 id=\"id_2065050315\" style=\"text-align: start;\">TESLA COULD APPEAL THE RULING</h2><p>Musk and Tesla's board could appeal and try to reverse the ruling at the Delaware Supreme Court, a process that typically takes around a year.</p><p>The case, which involved the largest-ever pay deal at a U.S. public company, raises issues that have rarely been addressed by Delaware judges, adding uncertainty to an appeal.</p><p>For example, the trial court judge, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, found that Musk controlled the compensation negotiations, even though he owned only about 22% of Tesla's stock.</p><p>In addition, Tesla has acknowledged that the June vote by shareholders to ratify Musk's pay was a "novel" legal tactic and has said it was unclear how it would be treated under Delaware law.</p><h2 id=\"id_741800313\" style=\"text-align: start;\">TESLA COULD DEVISE A NEW PLAN</h2><p>Tesla's board could craft a new pay package, although that could be very expensive.</p><p>The original plan, agreed to by Musk and the company in 2018, awarded him stock options if the company hit very aggressive performance and financial targets. The stock options allowed Musk to buy Tesla stock priced at the 2018 level. The company exceeded the targets, and Tesla's stock has risen 10-fold since then, making the options incredibly valuable.</p><p>Tesla booked a cost of $2.6 billion when the 2018 plan went into effect. The company has said that a replacement plan for the same cost today would likely have to be less than 10% of the size of the 2018 plan.</p><h2 id=\"id_3385019166\" style=\"text-align: start;\">COULD TESLA JUST RESTORE THE OLD PLAN?</h2><p>Tesla could offer Musk the same 304 million stock options with the same $23.34 exercise price used in the 2018 plan. If shareholders wanted to challenge that, they would have to sue in Texas, where the company reincorporated this year, rather than the Court of Chancery in Delaware.</p><p>But the company cannot escape accounting and tax implications.</p><p>Tesla said putting the old plan back in place would require the company to take a $25 billion charge, according to securities filings.</p><p>In addition, because the stock options would be incredibly valuable from the moment they are issued, they would be treated unfavorably for tax purposes as income.

That annualized gain of about 10.7% means that a $10,000 cash outlay would be worth $76,110 right now. This is a result that any investor would be pleased with.</p><p>But there's one monster stock that turned a $10,000 initial investment 20 years ago into nearly $5.6 million today. Here's what investors need to know about this dominant industry-leading enterprise.</p><h2 id=\"id_400600341\">Looking at the past</h2><p>Without a doubt, <strong>Netflix</strong> (NFLX 0.01%) is one of the best-performing stocks in the past two decades. It's crazy to think that in 20 years, a single stock could turn early investors into multimillionaires. Investors would certainly struggle to find many businesses that have outperformed this one in recent memory.</p><p>The company first launched its streaming service in the U.S. in 2007. The management team was convinced that the internet was going to fundamentally change how consumers watched video entertainment. Netflix achieved huge success early on because it was cheaper and more convenient than traditional cable TV packages. Furthermore, it had very limited direct competition for many years, as it was a disruptive and innovative pioneer.</p><p>This resulted in tremendous growth. Between 2010 and 2020, revenue surged over 1,000%, and the subscriber base expanded tenfold. Netflix's notable success spurred an acceleration of the cord-cutting trend, as competing offerings from other media companies entered the market and gave consumers even greater choice.</p><p>According to eMarketer, less than 50% of households in the U.S. still have their cable subscription today. But that penetration rate continues declining with each passing year, partly to the benefit of a business like Netflix.</p><h2 id=\"id_165151068\">Current situation</h2><p>Netflix is no longer the scrappy upstart it was two decades ago. This company has now become a global media powerhouse with a presence in more than 190 countries. As of Sept. 30, it counts a whopping 283 million customers, a figure that continues increasing each quarter. And the business is now bringing in almost $40 billion in annual run-rate revenue.</p><p>One of the most obvious changes to Netflix's operations, and perhaps something the critics never thought would happen, is that the business is extremely profitable today. The leadership team expects to report a stellar 27% operating margin this year. What's more, free cash flow (FCF) is projected to total $6 billion to $6.5 billion this year.</p><p>The growth story isn't over, though. Netflix is finding new ways to attract members and grow its sales base. It has successfully cracked down on password-sharing accounts. And it even introduced a cheaper ad-based subscription tier, something management previously said they'd never do. This option saw its membership base grow 35% quarter over quarter.</p><p>Netflix is also leaning into new content opportunities. It started offering video games on the platform in November 2021. And it recently signed deals to show <em>WWE Raw</em> in 2025 and Christmas Day NFL games later this year.</p><h2 id=\"id_2111668935\">Is it time to buy?</h2><p>There's not a lot to dislike when taking an objective view of Netflix's fundamentals. The company is posting healthy growth, even at its current scale. And its profitability, particularly from a FCF perspective, is impressive.</p><p>But the shares look to be richly valued. They trade at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 42.7 right now. That's much higher than what the stock sold for in the middle of 2022.

That annualized gain of about 10.7% means that a $10,000 cash outlay would be worth $76,110 right now. This is a result that any investor would be pleased with.But there's one monster stock that turned a $10,000 initial investment 20 years ago into nearly $5.6 million today. Here's what investors need to know about this dominant industry-leading enterprise.Looking at the pastWithout a doubt, Netflix (NFLX 0.01%) is one of the best-performing stocks in the past two decades. It's crazy to think that in 20 years, a single stock could turn early investors into multimillionaires. Investors would certainly struggle to find many businesses that have outperformed this one in recent memory.The company first launched its streaming service in the U.S. in 2007. The management team was convinced that the internet was going to fundamentally change how consumers watched video entertainment. Netflix achieved huge success early on because it was cheaper and more convenient than traditional cable TV packages. Furthermore, it had very limited direct competition for many years, as it was a disruptive and innovative pioneer.This resulted in tremendous growth. Between 2010 and 2020, revenue surged over 1,000%, and the subscriber base expanded tenfold. Netflix's notable success spurred an acceleration of the cord-cutting trend, as competing offerings from other media companies entered the market and gave consumers even greater choice.According to eMarketer, less than 50% of households in the U.S. still have their cable subscription today. But that penetration rate continues declining with each passing year, partly to the benefit of a business like Netflix.Current situationNetflix is no longer the scrappy upstart it was two decades ago. This company has now become a global media powerhouse with a presence in more than 190 countries. As of Sept. 30, it counts a whopping 283 million customers, a figure that continues increasing each quarter. And the business is now bringing in almost $40 billion in annual run-rate revenue.One of the most obvious changes to Netflix's operations, and perhaps something the critics never thought would happen, is that the business is extremely profitable today. The leadership team expects to report a stellar 27% operating margin this year. What's more, free cash flow (FCF) is projected to total $6 billion to $6.5 billion this year.The growth story isn't over, though. Netflix is finding new ways to attract members and grow its sales base. It has successfully cracked down on password-sharing accounts. And it even introduced a cheaper ad-based subscription tier, something management previously said they'd never do. This option saw its membership base grow 35% quarter over quarter.Netflix is also leaning into new content opportunities. It started offering video games on the platform in November 2021. And it recently signed deals to show WWE Raw in 2025 and Christmas Day NFL games later this year.Is it time to buy?There's not a lot to dislike when taking an objective view of Netflix's fundamentals. The company is posting healthy growth, even at its current scale. And its profitability, particularly from a FCF perspective, is impressive.But the shares look to be richly valued. They trade at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 42.7 right now. That's much higher than what the stock sold for in the middle of 2022. And it clearly shows how much optimism the market prices in.This has been a fantastic stock to have owned in the past 10 or 20 years. However, investors shouldn't expect those monster gains to repeat themselves going forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358506692878512,"gmtCreate":1728534286971,"gmtModify":1728534290879,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"When one didn't buy, will say expensive .

The S&P 500, meanwhile, is up more than 20% in the same period.</p><p>Earlier this week, Impax reported results that showed gains in listed equities of £5.3 billion ($6.9 billion) for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30.

As demand for energy continues to increase, Nvidia and other companies that develop more efficient models will be better for the environment, he says.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are beginning to roll out to customers this year, would need 3 gigawatts of power to develop OpenAI’s GPT-4 software, the company said at an event earlier this month. Ten years ago, that process would have required 5,500 gigawatts, the chipmaker said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Nvidia’s ability to deliver energy savings makes it even more valuable,” Simm said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Impax holds Nvidia in five strategies and funds. That includes its Global Opportunities portfolio, which is limited to 40 stocks and consists of companies that have a diversified business model, operate in high-growth markets and are “out of favor for whatever reason,” Simm said. Microsoft Corp. is included because Impax thinks it’s undervalued “in the context of the secular trend toward more AI,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In fact, “the whole industrial space” now looks undervalued, Simm said. That may change as a “soft landing in the US” looks increasingly likely, which is helping restore confidence, he said. The cost of capital is falling and consumer sentiment is stabilizing, so equity “is looking more attractive.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Still, that was less than the £5.8 billion of net outflows that Impax suffered in the period.Simm says Impax is learning from the past few years and focusing more on Big Tech, as it looks for undervalued opportunities to generate bigger returns.“Frankly, we’ve underperformed for the last couple of years in our main strategies because we’ve been more growth-at-a-reasonable-price, staying away from the momentum and hype around mega-cap tech investing,” he said.As Nvidia’s share price was falling in June, Impax more than tripled its stake in the company to 4.9 million shares by the end of the month from 1.4 million shares at the end of the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and confirmed by Impax.Simm says Impax still considers Nvidia to be undervalued when taking into account how the boom in artificial intelligence is expected to drive demand for its chips.Simm says holding Nvidia, which like other technology giants needs to consume vast stores of energy to power its growth, also makes investing sense from a climate perspective. As demand for energy continues to increase, Nvidia and other companies that develop more efficient models will be better for the environment, he says.Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are beginning to roll out to customers this year, would need 3 gigawatts of power to develop OpenAI’s GPT-4 software, the company said at an event earlier this month. Ten years ago, that process would have required 5,500 gigawatts, the chipmaker said.“Nvidia’s ability to deliver energy savings makes it even more valuable,” Simm said.Impax holds Nvidia in five strategies and funds. That includes its Global Opportunities portfolio, which is limited to 40 stocks and consists of companies that have a diversified business model, operate in high-growth markets and are “out of favor for whatever reason,” Simm said. Microsoft Corp. is included because Impax thinks it’s undervalued “in the context of the secular trend toward more AI,” he said.In fact, “the whole industrial space” now looks undervalued, Simm said. That may change as a “soft landing in the US” looks increasingly likely, which is helping restore confidence, he said. The cost of capital is falling and consumer sentiment is stabilizing, so equity “is looking more attractive.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347843176866048,"gmtCreate":1725946289398,"gmtModify":1725946292788,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"If you think Nvidia is overvalued , this is even more overvalued","listText":"If you think Nvidia is overvalued , this is even more overvalued","text":"If you think Nvidia is overvalued , this is even more overvalued","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/347843176866048","repostId":"1107106093","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1107106093","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1725939515,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107106093?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-09-10 11:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir Stock Surges and Heads to the S&P 500 -- Time to Buy the AI Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107106093","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Palantir has been on a huge winning streak.

are never going to actually work right” and that they “will take up too much energy or will prove to be untrustworthy.”The chipmaker stocks have suffered some losses due to concerns about heavy -- tens of billions of dollars -- AI spending for infrastructure.Nvidia Corp. is down 4.8% today so far, after a 110% year-to-date gain. The stock is also down 9.23% from a month ago. Nvidia briefly became the world's largest company with a market cap of more than $3.3T.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325701241295120,"gmtCreate":1720541094921,"gmtModify":1720541109379,"author":{"id":"4171803256903022","authorId":"4171803256903022","name":"WealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c38f4668f8134a2f2f17efffb35d19b4","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4171803256903022","authorIdStr":"4171803256903022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Of course it would not last forever.
