Of the top 10 U.S. companies by market capitalization, five are technology or digital businesses and their total market value exceeds $7 trillion — a figure that has grown by 54% over the past year alone.</p><p><b>Landmark litigation is underway</b></p><p>With that territory comes major league antitrust and regulatory risk:</p><ul><li>In October, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google, alleging the internet search giant stifles competition.

So there’s really no easy scenario where these companies can just make a few changes and everybody’s happy.”</p><p>Another element accelerating the regulatory push is the recent episode involving a group of retail investors who organized themselves on an internet chat board to drive up the stock prices of GameStop, AMC Entertainment and other struggling companies. When brokerage firms and trading apps imposed trading limits, some of those retail investors lost big. In a rare bipartisan move, Republicans and Democrats have called for Congressional hearings, which are expected to begin next week.</p><p><b>European influence</b></p><p>U.S. politicians and regulators seeking to limit the power of Big Tech can look to Europe for inspiration. European authorities have been far more aggressive in their regulatory efforts, including the threat of huge fines for violating data protection rules and engaging in anticompetitive behavior.</p><p>The European Union was the first to enact major online privacy laws in the form of the General Data Protection Regulation, adopted in 2018. EU officials have since followed that up with a series of proposed regulations designed to block certain acquisitions, curb hate speech and provide more information to consumers about how their data may be used for targeted advertising.</p><p>“Many of these provisions are already being implemented by U.S.-based internet platforms because of the European regulations,” says Brad Barrett, a Capital Group analyst who covers ad supported internet companies. “Europe doesn’t have many of its own national champions in the social media industry, so it’s perhaps easier for the EU to be more aggressive in this area and for the U.S. to follow when it makes sense.”</p><p>So far, Barrett notes, the EU rules haven’t had a major impact on technology companies from a profit or revenue perspective.</p><p><b>FAANGs have proven to be unique while revolutionizing different industries</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/99c436c376ac96b803346f19a4801e2a\" tg-width=\"916\" tg-height=\"255\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Regulators face uphill battle</b></p><p>Assessing the regulatory risks of large tech companies is a complex task, Barrett explains, given that they operate in different industries with vastly different competitive profiles — everything from retail to advertising to television. That said, in his assessment, the antitrust cases against Google and Facebook aren’t strong and likely won’t result in any forced breakups.</p><p>The government is facing “an uphill battle” to win these cases, Barrett says, evidenced by the fact that some members of Congress are pushing hard for changes in antitrust law.</p><p>“That by itself is an admission that it’s difficult to find antitrust violations based on case law going back 20 to 30 years,” he adds.</p><p>Not to mention that many of the products provided by Google and Facebook are free, diminishing traditional antitrust arguments that rely on pricing power to help determine monopoly status.</p><p><b>Is regulatory risk already priced in?</b></p><p>How should investors evaluate the outlook for Big Tech, given the potential for some sort of government intervention in the years ahead? One important question to ask is: Do company valuations reflect the risk? In other words, are they “priced in” to the stocks?</p><p>Looking at the FAANG stocks as a bellwether for regulatory risk, the two companies that are currently at the center of high-profile lawsuits — Facebook and Alphabet — are trading at significantly lower price-to-earnings ratios than, for example, Amazon and Netflix. In fact, Facebook is trading just above the average P/E for the Standard &amp; Poor’s 500 Composite Index despite its rapid growth rate and strong free cash flow.</p><p><b>Valuations for some Big Tech companies don’t look excessive</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae587b4e921093599903c3764da151a9\" tg-width=\"916\" tg-height=\"457\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Last week, Facebook reported a fourth-quarter profit of $11.2 billion, a 52% increase from the same period a year ago. Alphabet, which trades at a slightly higher P/E than Facebook, reported a quarterly profit of $15.7 billion, up 40% from a year ago.</p><p>“These companies operate in large and growing markets, they have long revenue runways and they are very profitable,” explains Capital Group analyst Tracy Li, who covers internet companies. “If the regulatory risks were not present, in my view, they would be trading at higher multiples.”</p><p><b>Unlike the dot-com bubble, tech company profits are more in line with prices</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/feffc6d1ecfc93d04be5d032344eb2dd\" tg-width=\"916\" tg-height=\"547\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Breakup risk: The parts may be greater than the whole</b></p><p>In the unlikely event that one or more of these companies is forced to break up, a reasonable argument could be made that some of the spinoffs could be worth more on their own, Li notes. Indeed, sometimes the parts can be worth more than the whole.</p><p>WhatsApp, for instance, which was acquired by Facebook in 2014, currently does not make money. But as a stand-alone company, it would likely command a high valuation due to its user base of more than 2 billion people in 180 countries and the opportunity to monetize the service in the future. The same could be said for Instagram and Facebook Messenger.</p><p>“The fact that all of these businesses are under one umbrella does tend to obscure the value of each business,” Li says. “As we’ve seen with past antitrust cases, such as the breakup of AT&amp;T or Standard Oil, the results can be quite favorable to shareholders over the long run.”</p>","source":"lsy1615210994562","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>Is Big Tech in big trouble?</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\">\nIs Big Tech in big trouble?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-09 12:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.capitalgroup.com/advisor/insights/articles/big-tech-big-trouble.html><strong>Capital Group</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Is there such a thing as being too successful, too influential and just too big?

The same could be said for Instagram and Facebook Messenger.“The fact that all of these businesses are under one umbrella does tend to obscure the value of each business,” Li says. “As we’ve seen with past antitrust cases, such as the breakup of AT&T or Standard Oil, the results can be quite favorable to shareholders over the long run.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":372,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320520435,"gmtCreate":1615159984227,"gmtModify":1704778907638,"author":{"id":"3575154253401290","authorId":"3575154253401290","name":"Zwei90","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46b93e6126505a4da6890aa36b96d1a1","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3575154253401290","idStr":"3575154253401290"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy the dips","listText":"Buy the dips","text":"Buy the dips","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/320520435","repostId":"1196034072","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196034072","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614953178,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196034072?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-05 22:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is The Nio Sell-Off Overdone?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196034072","media":"Benzinga","summary":"NIO Inc.  shares have been soundly thrashed in the tech sell-off, and thequarterlyreport released ea","content":"<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">NIO Inc.</a> &nbsp;shares have been soundly thrashed in the tech sell-off, and thequarterlyreport released&nbsp;earlier this week did little to assuage sentiment.
