Here’s What to Expect.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121126533","media":"Barrons","summary":"The core debate on Netflix stock is whether the streaming video giant can maintain its subscriber gr","content":"<p>The core debate on Netflix stock is whether the streaming video giant can maintain its subscriber growth amid growing competition from new streaming services and from other forms of entertainment as the economy begins to emerge from the Covid-19 shutdown.</p>\n<p>Investors will get some new clues on that question on Tuesday, when Netflix (ticker: NFLX)&nbsp; reports first-quarter financial results.</p>\n<p>In reporting fourth-quarter results, Netflix projected March quarter revenue of $7.1 billion, with earnings of $2.97 a share, and 6 million net new subscribers. The net-add forecast for the March quarter is down from the 15.8 million spike in subscribers driven by Covid-19 in the year-ago first quarter.</p>\n<p>The company expects operating margin in the March quarter to jump to 25%, from 16.6% a year ago and 14.4% in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>Last quarter,Netflix surprised Wall Street&nbsp;with the news that it now expects to be cash flow break-even or better moving forward—and that it has begun considering stock buybacks. Netflix had $1.9 billion in positive free cash flow in 2020, thanks to lower production costs as a result of the pandemic, compared with a $3.3 billion cash flow loss in 2019. For 2021, Netflix expects to break even on a cash flow basis. Fourth-quarter cash flow was negative $138 million.</p>\n<p>Netflix also said that with $8.2 billion in cash and an untouched $750 million credit facility, “we believe we no longer have a need to raise external financing for our day-to-day operations.” In addition, the streaming giant said it had about $16 billion in debt overall and expects to maintain $10 billion to $15 billion in gross debt over time. Netflix said it would “explore returning cash to shareholders through ongoing stock buybacks,” something it hasn’t done since 2011.</p>\n<p>The stock shot higher on that news, but has since eased back, as attention turns to the potential for slowing near-term subscriber growth. Analyst sentiment heading into earnings is mixed.</p>\n<p>Piper Sandler analyst Thomas Champion, who has an Overweight rating and $605 target price on Netflix, is bullish on the stock heading into the report. While noting that the company was a beneficiary of the pandemic, he thinks Netflix will benefit from a combination of “a strong consumer” as the economy reopens, a clamp-down on password sharing, and “a pandemic tailwind that may remain in Europe.” Champion notes that a recent Piper survey of teens found that they allocate 32% of video consumption to Netflix, versus 8% for Hulu, the second-most popular subscription video service.</p>\n<p>UBS analyst John Hodulik notes that investors have become increasingly focused on how summer seasonality might manifest this year, given a reopening economy and the potential for added churn from higher subscription prices in some markets. The stock could remain volatile in the short-to-medium term, he warns. But the analyst “continues to view Netflix as the long-term winner within streaming media and remains constructive on the fundamentals.” He keeps a Buy rating and $650 target price on Netflix shares.</p>\n<p>Raymond James analyst Andrew Marok, who has a Market Perform rating on Netflix shares, remains cautious on the stock for now.

The net-add forecast for the March quarter is down from the 15.8 million spike in subscribers driven by Covid-19 in the year-ago first quarter.\nThe company expects operating margin in the March quarter to jump to 25%, from 16.6% a year ago and 14.4% in the fourth quarter.\nLast quarter,Netflix surprised Wall Street with the news that it now expects to be cash flow break-even or better moving forward—and that it has begun considering stock buybacks. Netflix had $1.9 billion in positive free cash flow in 2020, thanks to lower production costs as a result of the pandemic, compared with a $3.3 billion cash flow loss in 2019. For 2021, Netflix expects to break even on a cash flow basis. Fourth-quarter cash flow was negative $138 million.\nNetflix also said that with $8.2 billion in cash and an untouched $750 million credit facility, “we believe we no longer have a need to raise external financing for our day-to-day operations.” In addition, the streaming giant said it had about $16 billion in debt overall and expects to maintain $10 billion to $15 billion in gross debt over time. Netflix said it would “explore returning cash to shareholders through ongoing stock buybacks,” something it hasn’t done since 2011.\nThe stock shot higher on that news, but has since eased back, as attention turns to the potential for slowing near-term subscriber growth. Analyst sentiment heading into earnings is mixed.\nPiper Sandler analyst Thomas Champion, who has an Overweight rating and $605 target price on Netflix, is bullish on the stock heading into the report. While noting that the company was a beneficiary of the pandemic, he thinks Netflix will benefit from a combination of “a strong consumer” as the economy reopens, a clamp-down on password sharing, and “a pandemic tailwind that may remain in Europe.” Champion notes that a recent Piper survey of teens found that they allocate 32% of video consumption to Netflix, versus 8% for Hulu, the second-most popular subscription video service.\nUBS analyst John Hodulik notes that investors have become increasingly focused on how summer seasonality might manifest this year, given a reopening economy and the potential for added churn from higher subscription prices in some markets. The stock could remain volatile in the short-to-medium term, he warns. But the analyst “continues to view Netflix as the long-term winner within streaming media and remains constructive on the fundamentals.” He keeps a Buy rating and $650 target price on Netflix shares.\nRaymond James analyst Andrew Marok, who has a Market Perform rating on Netflix shares, remains cautious on the stock for now. Marok continues to view Netflix as a “long-term winner in the video-on-demand space,” he writes. He does see some near-terms risks, however: the pace of subscriber additions post-pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on 2021 content releases, and scaling competition from cheaper competitive subscription services.\nFor Netflix’s June quarter, Wall Street consensus calls for revenue of $7.4 billion, earnings of $2.69 a share, and 4.4 million net subscriber additions.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NFLX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1184,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373371922,"gmtCreate":1618826418666,"gmtModify":1631893522258,"author":{"id":"3560845643561150","authorId":"3560845643561150","name":"PatSze98","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf7cf9115008ca78f334090541a6f3d","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560845643561150","authorIdStr":"3560845643561150"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All the money will go to politican pocket 🤭","listText":"All the money will go to politican pocket 🤭","text":"All the money will go to politican pocket 🤭","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/373371922","repostId":"2128862412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2128862412","kind":"news","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":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1618824410,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2128862412?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-19 17:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft to invest $1 billion in Malaysia to set up data centres - Malaysian PM","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2128862412","media":"Reuters","summary":"KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -  Microsoft Corporation will invest $1 billion over the next five years in M","content":"<p>KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -  Microsoft Corporation will invest $1 billion over the next five years in Malaysia as part of a new partnership programme with government agencies and local companies, the Southeast Asian nation's prime minister said on Monday.</p><p>The announcement on what would be the U.S. tech giant's biggest investment in Malaysia comes after the country in February gave conditional approvals for Microsoft, Google, Amazon and state telecoms firm Telekom Malaysia to build and manage hyper-scale data centres and provide cloud services.</p><p>It also comes after the country saw foreign direct investments (FDI) plunge by 68% last year, the biggest decline in Southeast Asia.</p><p>Malaysia has defended itself as an investment destination, with the finance minister recently saying it was looking at incentives to help attract more FDI.</p><p>It has said the investments from these cloud service providers will total between 12 billion ringgit and 15 billion ringgit ($2.91 billion-$3.64 billion) over the next five years.</p><p>As part of the Bersama Malaysia initiative, Microsoft will establish its first \"datacentre region\", which consists of multiple data centres, in Malaysia to manage data from various countries, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin told an event marking the launch of the programme.</p><p>\"The upcoming datacenter region will be a game-changer for Malaysia,\" Microsoft Executive Vice President Jean-Philippe Courtois said in a statement, adding it will enable the government and businesses to \"transform\" their operations.</p><p>Under the programme, Microsoft will also assist up to a million Malaysians in getting digital skills by the end of 2023.</p><p>($1 = 4.1260 ringgit)</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

XPEV.</p><p>Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:<i>Chinese Auto Sales on Fast Track - Will It Hit a Speed Bump?</i></p><p>Vehicle sales in China for the month of March soared for the 12th straight month to 2.53 million units, per the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (“CAAM”). Sales spiked 75% from the corresponding period of 2020, when the country’s vehicle demand was badly hit by coronavirus woes.</p><p>Digging Into Sales Numbers</p><p>For the first quarter of 2021, sales surged 76% year over year to top 6.48 million units. The massive jump was due to lower severity of COVID-19 impacts, which crimped showroom traffic in the comparable year-ago quarter.</p><p>In fact, automakers in China suffered their bleakest ever quarter in the January-March 2020 period. However, thanks to supportive government policies, gradual reopening of economic activities and pent-up vehicle demand, China is now at the forefront of global auto market recovery.</p><p>Deliveries of new light vehicles including sport utility vehicles, sedans and multi-purpose vehicles grew 77% to exceed 1.87 million units in March 2021. Deliveries of commercial vehicles including pickups and buses rose 68% year over year to 651,000 units. Electric vehicle sales jumped a whopping 240% year over year to 226,000 units.</p><p>New light vehicle deliveries in first-quarter 2021 climbed 75% from the comparable year-ago period to 5.08 million units. Sales of commercial vehicles and EVs spiked 77% and 280% to 1.41 million units and 515,000 units, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.</p><p>China EV Market on Fire, Competition Revs Up</p><p>Demand for new energy vehicles (NEVs) has been on the rise amid climate change concerns and favorable government policies. Importantly, the country projects electric vehicles (EVs) to account for 25% of new car sales by 2025.</p><p>Last April, the government of China announced plans to extend subsidies and tax breaks for NEVs such as electric or plug-in hybrid cars for another two years to spur sales. Buoyed by favorable government policies and improving consumer confidence and economy, China — world’s largest EV market — is seeing solid sales of zero-emission vehicles.</p><p>China-based EV makers including<b>BYD Co</b>,<b>NIO</b>,<b>Li Auto</b>and<b>XPeng</b>registered strong EV sales last month. Warren Buffett-backed BYD sold 24,218 EVs in March, representing a year-over-year jump of 97.6%.</p><p>NIO — which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) — delivered 7,257 EVs last month, skyrocketing 373% year over year. EV makers Li Auto and XPeng delivered 4,900 and 5,102 vehicles, up a whopping 238.6% and 384%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. You can see<b>the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here</b>.</p><p>Foreign carmakers including<b>Tesla</b>,<b>GM</b>and<b>Ford</b>are also registering strong sales and actively ramping up operations in the country. Per China Passenger Car Association, EV behemoth Tesla sold 35,478 China-made cars last month. The company commands a huge market share in the EV market of China, thanks to robust production from the Shanghai Gigafactory.</p><p>Overall vehicle sales by Ford and General Motors in China witnessed a year-over-year rally of 73% and 69%, respectively, for first-quarter 2021. General Motors is speeding up the development of advanced technologies in China to enable an all-electric future.</p><p>The company’s next-generation EVs (across all brands) in China will be powered by Ultium Drive. It should be noted that the Cadillac LYRIQ SUV would be the first Ultium-powered vehicle to be rolled out in China at Auto Shanghai 2021 later this month.</p><p>Importantly, Sales of Hong Guang mini-EV — under General Motors’ Wuling brand — exceeded 72,000 units in first-quarter 2021, retaining its position as the best-selling green vehicle in the country. Meanwhile, Ford is set to manufacture its electric Mustang Mach-E in China with its joint venture Changan Ford.</p><p>Amid soaring demand, competition is heating up in the China EV market. Even with the subsidies ending in 2022, the e-mobility battle in China is getting fiercer by the day with new upstarts, legacy automakers and tech titans foraying into the space.</p><p>A few days back, China’s leading smartphone maker Xiaomi announced that it is set to invest $10 billion in the development of EVs over the next 10 years. The company intends to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary with an initial investment of around $1.5 billion.</p><p>Ride-hailing platform Didi Chuxing has also launched an EV unit and collaborated with BYD to develop EVs designed for its services. Telecom equipment giant Huawei Technology also aims to launch electric cars under its brand and may roll out a couple of models this year. Search engine behemoth Baidu also announced plans to launch an electric car business in January.</p><p>Chip Deficit to Play Spoilsport</p><p>While China’s vehicle sales have rebounded quite strongly, will the recovery sustain amid the global chip crunch? Well, CAAM has already warned that the chip shortage is set to adversely impact auto production in the nation in second-quarter 2021. The agency does not expect the shortfall to ease until the fourth quarter of this year.</p><p>Although China is the largest auto market, it depends heavily on chip imports and is the largest buyer of semiconductors. Amid the chip shortfall, carmakers are scrambling to procure semiconductors, which are forcing them to undergo production cuts and idle factories. NIO shuttered operations for five days beginning Mar 29 due to microchip shortfall. Volvo Cars, owned by Geely Holdings, also halted production last month. In the absence of a quick solution to this chip problem, auto industry recovery in China may soon be losing steam.</p><p>These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic</p><p>The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.</p><p>Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies.

The company is working aggressively to grow its sales and has recently entered into several key partnerships that should help it achieve this goal. With enhanced growth prospects and a lower price, the stock's valuation has improved. Let's see if it has changed enough to make the stock a buy right now.</p><h3>Improved valuation</h3><p>In January, Plug Power stock was trading at a price-to-sales ratio of around 104. The ratio has now fallen to 51. Based on 2021 estimated sales, the ratio stands at around 37. Surely it has improved a lot from its January levels.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F621481%2Fhydrogen-fuel-cells-next-to-h2-written-with-green-leaves.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"498\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>Going by Plug Power's estimates of $1.7 billion sales in 2024, the price-to-sales ratio falls to a saner level of around 10. For a fast-growing company, that kind of ratio isn't too unusual. So <i>if</i> the company can grow its sales as it is guiding, its valuation can make some sense. It is noteworthy that the price-to-sales-ratio calculation for 2024 sales doesn't take into account potential dilution. In the last year, Plug Power's outstanding shares have increased 82%.</p><h3>Focus on growth</h3><p>Plug Power has been taking aggressive steps to grow its top line. In February the company announced its plan to build a green hydrogen production facility in New York with a production capacity of 45 metric tons per day. Plug Power also recently signed a previously announced deal whereby South Korea's SK Group will invest $1.6 billion in Plug Power in exchange for a 9.6% stake in the company. The two companies plan to jointly establish a huge fuel cell and electrolyzer production facility in South Korea. The South Korean government has set ambitious goals for promoting hydrogen use in the country, which should benefit Plug Power.</p><p>The company has also entered into partnership with automaker <b>Renault</b>. A planned joint venture with Renault will target a 30% share of the fuel-cell-powered light commercial vehicle market in Europe. That would be huge as 30% of the light vehicle market is expected to be around 500,000 vehicles by 2030.&nbsp;Plug Power has also announced a partnership with ACCONIA, a leading developer of sustainable infrastructure solutions. With an expected investment of over 2 billion euros, the joint venture will aim to capture 20% share of Spain and Portugal's green hydrogen market by 2030.</p><p>So Plug Power's 2024 sales guidance of $1.7 billion and sales growth beyond that look achievable. However, sales are just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> part of the story. Let's turn our attention to other key metrics as well as risks.</p><h3>Can Plug Power become profitable?</h3><p>With its sales target looking more realistic, the next key concern is attaining profitability. After all, the company has been growing its revenue for years. The company hopes to achieve gross margins of more than 20% by 2022 and improve beyond that. But achieving bottom-line profits looks much more difficult.</p><p>Plug Power currently derives roughly 94% of its revenue from the material handling business, which primarily supplies fuel cells for forklifts. Despite boasting a list of prominent customers, the company hasn't been profitable in this segment so far. By 2024, the company hopes to generate $750 million from the material handling segment, with the remaining nearly $1 billion coming from stationary base load power generation and fuel cell powered vehicles.</p><p>Considering that Plug Power hasn't been profitable in a segment it has been operating in for years, it might be a big challenge for it to turn the bottom line green in a new segment. Moreover, if fuel-cell-powered vehicles' growth remains subdued, it can potentially limit Plug Power's growth as well as its margins.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F621481%2Fhand-turns-a-dice-and-changes-the-expression-bev-battery-electric-vehicle-to-fcev-fuel-cell-electric-vehicle.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"320\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>Plug Power hopes to benefit significantly from governmental incentives such as LCFS (low carbon fuel standard) credits in California and similar potential credits for green hydrogen under President Biden's climate plan. Further, Plug Power is looking to get a&nbsp;$520 million&nbsp;loan from the U.S. Department of Energy under its loan guarantee program. However, as the adoption of fuel cell technology remains slow, these incentives too would likely be slower and lower than the company would like them to be.</p><p>It's important here to understand why Plug Power isn't profitable after 20 years of operation. It's not that the company is making huge capital investments that will generate income for it at some point. If that were the case, the stock's prospects would be better. It's simply that Plug Power's fuel cells cost more than customers are willing to pay. Other energy and storage options are cheaper and thus preferable. So Plug Power is growing its top line by selling products at a price that customers are willing to pay. But that is not enough to cover the company's costs.</p><p>In short, even if the company is able to make some profit at scale, the margins will likely be thin.

The company is working aggressively to grow its sales and has recently entered into several key partnerships that should help it achieve this goal. With enhanced growth prospects and a lower price, the stock's valuation has improved. Let's see if it has changed enough to make the stock a buy right now.Improved valuationIn January, Plug Power stock was trading at a price-to-sales ratio of around 104. The ratio has now fallen to 51. Based on 2021 estimated sales, the ratio stands at around 37. Surely it has improved a lot from its January levels.Image source: Getty Images.Going by Plug Power's estimates of $1.7 billion sales in 2024, the price-to-sales ratio falls to a saner level of around 10. For a fast-growing company, that kind of ratio isn't too unusual. So if the company can grow its sales as it is guiding, its valuation can make some sense. It is noteworthy that the price-to-sales-ratio calculation for 2024 sales doesn't take into account potential dilution. In the last year, Plug Power's outstanding shares have increased 82%.Focus on growthPlug Power has been taking aggressive steps to grow its top line. In February the company announced its plan to build a green hydrogen production facility in New York with a production capacity of 45 metric tons per day. Plug Power also recently signed a previously announced deal whereby South Korea's SK Group will invest $1.6 billion in Plug Power in exchange for a 9.6% stake in the company. The two companies plan to jointly establish a huge fuel cell and electrolyzer production facility in South Korea. The South Korean government has set ambitious goals for promoting hydrogen use in the country, which should benefit Plug Power.The company has also entered into partnership with automaker Renault. A planned joint venture with Renault will target a 30% share of the fuel-cell-powered light commercial vehicle market in Europe. That would be huge as 30% of the light vehicle market is expected to be around 500,000 vehicles by 2030. Plug Power has also announced a partnership with ACCONIA, a leading developer of sustainable infrastructure solutions. With an expected investment of over 2 billion euros, the joint venture will aim to capture 20% share of Spain and Portugal's green hydrogen market by 2030.So Plug Power's 2024 sales guidance of $1.7 billion and sales growth beyond that look achievable. However, sales are just one part of the story. Let's turn our attention to other key metrics as well as risks.Can Plug Power become profitable?With its sales target looking more realistic, the next key concern is attaining profitability. After all, the company has been growing its revenue for years. The company hopes to achieve gross margins of more than 20% by 2022 and improve beyond that. But achieving bottom-line profits looks much more difficult.Plug Power currently derives roughly 94% of its revenue from the material handling business, which primarily supplies fuel cells for forklifts. Despite boasting a list of prominent customers, the company hasn't been profitable in this segment so far. By 2024, the company hopes to generate $750 million from the material handling segment, with the remaining nearly $1 billion coming from stationary base load power generation and fuel cell powered vehicles.Considering that Plug Power hasn't been profitable in a segment it has been operating in for years, it might be a big challenge for it to turn the bottom line green in a new segment. Moreover, if fuel-cell-powered vehicles' growth remains subdued, it can potentially limit Plug Power's growth as well as its margins.Image source: Getty Images.Plug Power hopes to benefit significantly from governmental incentives such as LCFS (low carbon fuel standard) credits in California and similar potential credits for green hydrogen under President Biden's climate plan. Further, Plug Power is looking to get a $520 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy under its loan guarantee program. However, as the adoption of fuel cell technology remains slow, these incentives too would likely be slower and lower than the company would like them to be.It's important here to understand why Plug Power isn't profitable after 20 years of operation. It's not that the company is making huge capital investments that will generate income for it at some point. If that were the case, the stock's prospects would be better. It's simply that Plug Power's fuel cells cost more than customers are willing to pay. Other energy and storage options are cheaper and thus preferable. So Plug Power is growing its top line by selling products at a price that customers are willing to pay. But that is not enough to cover the company's costs.In short, even if the company is able to make some profit at scale, the margins will likely be thin. And this is the single biggest factor that suggests the stock shouldn't command the high valuation it currently has. That competition may hurt the company's margins is a concern only if the business makes economic sense, which it doesn't do right now. I'll wait for the company to become sustainably profitable before jumping in.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLUG":0.9,"PW":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":376,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373370682,"gmtCreate":1618826167246,"gmtModify":1634290600874,"author":{"id":"3560845643561150","authorId":"3560845643561150","name":"PatSze98","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf7cf9115008ca78f334090541a6f3d","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560845643561150","authorIdStr":"3560845643561150"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Don’t waste time","listText":"Don’t waste time","text":"Don’t waste time","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/373370682","repostId":"2128857317","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2128857317","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":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1618820938,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2128857317?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-19 16:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"'Roaring Kitty' acquires more shares in GameStop - Bloomberg","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2128857317","media":"Reuters","summary":"GameStop stock surged more than 5% in premarket trading.The man known as \"Roaring Kitty\" on social m","content":"<p>GameStop stock surged more than 5% in premarket trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d62c20c2c230a3a78bbd6e552827f09b\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>The man known as \"Roaring Kitty\" on social media, whose online posts helped spark January's trading frenzy in GameStop Corp   , exercised call options on the stock to acquire 50,000 more shares at a strike price of $12, Bloomberg reported.</p><p>Bloomberg cited a screenshot of Keith Gill's portfolio showing that he exercised 500 GameStop call options expiring Friday, when the stock closed at $154.69.</p><p>The screenshots were posted on Reddit by Gill, and his mother confirmed the posts to Bloomberg.

It's why, even though we are enjoying a beautiful spring week, Goldman notes that single stock options trading activity is elevated relative to historical levels. To wit, daily options volumes are up 70% in April, up from YTD lows of $2.4bn on 30-Mar.</p><p><b>In total, across single stocks, $544BN of options are set to expiry today, including $305BN calls.</b>As such, today’s expiry could be important for stocks with large open interest in at-the-money(ATM) options, as market makers delta-hedging their unusually large options portfolios will be active. This flow is likely to dampen volatility in some names while exacerbating stock price moves in others.</p><p>How to trade this?</p><p>As Goldman's Vishal Vivek writes, at major expirations, options traders track situations where<b>a large amount of open interest is set to expire.</b>In situations where there is a significant amount of expiring open interest in at-the-money strikes (strike prices at or very near the current stockprice), delta-hedging activity can impact the underlying stock’s trading that day. If market makers or other options traders who delta-hedge their positions are net long ATM options, expiration-related flow could have the effect of dampening stock price movements, causing the stock price to settle near the strike with large open interest. This situation is often referred to as a “pin” and can be an ideal situation fora large investor trying to enter/exit a stock position. Alternatively, if delta-hedgers are net short ATM options (have a “negative gamma” position), their hedging activity could exacerbate stock price moves.</p><p>What that means it expiration-related trades may cause trading activity to aggressively pick up for stocks with a significant amount of ATM open interest.</p><p>So to help traders looking to hop on for daytrading opportunities, here is a table identifying possible focus stocks with large ATM open interest expiring today, which is compared to the average daily volume of the underlying stocks. As Goldman puts it, \"<i>expiration-related activity is likely to have more of an impact if the open interest represents a significant percentage of the stock’s volume.\"</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0dac61cb87c2f2700d8a0e8e64324f81\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"638\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Finally, for what it's worth, this morning our friends at SpotGamma write that this has been a rather strange OPEX cycle, \"with a consistent almost mechanical bid pushing markets higher. We’ve not seen the Call Wall “breached” this many times before, but there are other aberrations that we’ve mentioned in previous notes – like net put sales. We’ve got some theories on this we are posting in a longer form piece.\"</p><p>According to SG, because implied volatility has now compressed (ie VIX at new lows) there is now more potential for “long term” volatility. Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).<b>These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX&nbsp; (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae7a60d873792b825bdda669cafa0ed3\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:</p><blockquote>When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead.

It's why, even though we are enjoying a beautiful spring week, Goldman notes that single stock options trading activity is elevated relative to historical levels. To wit, daily options volumes are up 70% in April, up from YTD lows of $2.4bn on 30-Mar.In total, across single stocks, $544BN of options are set to expiry today, including $305BN calls.As such, today’s expiry could be important for stocks with large open interest in at-the-money(ATM) options, as market makers delta-hedging their unusually large options portfolios will be active. This flow is likely to dampen volatility in some names while exacerbating stock price moves in others.How to trade this?As Goldman's Vishal Vivek writes, at major expirations, options traders track situations wherea large amount of open interest is set to expire.In situations where there is a significant amount of expiring open interest in at-the-money strikes (strike prices at or very near the current stockprice), delta-hedging activity can impact the underlying stock’s trading that day. If market makers or other options traders who delta-hedge their positions are net long ATM options, expiration-related flow could have the effect of dampening stock price movements, causing the stock price to settle near the strike with large open interest. This situation is often referred to as a “pin” and can be an ideal situation fora large investor trying to enter/exit a stock position. Alternatively, if delta-hedgers are net short ATM options (have a “negative gamma” position), their hedging activity could exacerbate stock price moves.What that means it expiration-related trades may cause trading activity to aggressively pick up for stocks with a significant amount of ATM open interest.So to help traders looking to hop on for daytrading opportunities, here is a table identifying possible focus stocks with large ATM open interest expiring today, which is compared to the average daily volume of the underlying stocks.

Munger, 97, is still active in the investing world, not only through his activities at Berkshire, but also as chairman of the <b>Daily Journal Corporation </b>(NASDAQ:DJCO).</p>\n<p>Munger bought the Daily Journal decades ago when he was still running his own investment fund, for just $2.5 million. After his fund dissolved, Munger distributed shares to his partners, but he still owns around 3.6% of the company, now valued at a whopping $455 million.</p>\n<p>One interesting feature of the Daily Journal, which historically published a legal newspaper and more recently began selling courthouse software, is that it takes cash flow from its core businesses and reinvests it into equities, mostly large U.S. banks.</p>\n<p>This week, Munger and company turned some heads when the Daily Journal disclosed a $37 million stake in Chinese e-commerce giant <b>Alibaba Group Holding</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:BABA), good for 19% of the company's equity portfolio, making it the company's third-largest position behind <b>Bank of America</b>&nbsp;and <b>Wells Fargo</b>.</p>\n<p>Is Alibaba really a Munger-style value stock? And should you follow him into the Chinese giant?</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/088bcf56b1eb756386dbb32f48ea441c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"432\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The case for Alibaba as a value stock</h2>\n<p>Alibaba's stock has languished somewhat recently despite delivering good results, so it's no wonder Munger might have thought the company a good value at today's prices. The recent controversy around founder Jack Ma and the aborted IPO for Ant Financial, of which Alibaba holds a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-third stake, has likely played a role. Antitrust concerns in China have been an added drag. Furthermore, Alibaba is facing stiff competition in the e-commerce space from <b>JD.com</b>&nbsp;as well as the explosive discount-buying upstart <b>Pinduoduo</b>.</p>\n<p>However, Buffett once quipped, \"You pay a high price for a cheery consensus.\" Amid these concerns, Alibaba trades just around 25 times trailing earnings and under 19 times this year's earnings estimates. That's much cheaper than all of the FAANG stocks in the U.S., which is surprising given Alibaba's still strong growth rates and the growing middle class in China.</p>\n<h2>But Alibaba may be even cheaper than that</h2>\n<p>As is the case with several large technology conglomerates, Munger may be looking at various parts of Alibaba's sprawling empire, and might have realized these parts add up to much more than Alibaba's current market value.</p>\n<p>For <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> thing, Alibaba has a significant amount of cash on its balance sheet, along with large stakes in private companies like Ant Group as well as publicly traded companies. As of Dec. 31, 2021, its balance sheet included $47.8 billion in cash, $22.1 billion in short-term securities, $36.8 billion in other publicly traded equity securities, and another $28.4 billion in equity method investees, such as Ant Group. Those assets add up to $135.1 billion, against just about $18 billion in short and long-term debt.</p>\n<p>So while Alibaba currently sports a market cap of $615 billion or so, it's really only about $500 billion when stripping out these net assets. That's very cheap compared with Alibaba's current operating income, which totaled $14.9 billion through the first nine months of fiscal 2021, good for nearly a $20 billion run rate.</p>\n<p>Yet even that operating income figure may underrate Alibaba's true earnings power. That's because the company is aggressively investing the large cash flows from its core e-commerce platform into other parts of its operations. In fact, Alibaba is experiencing losses in a large number of its higher-growth business, including its local consumer services business, logistics arm Cainiao, Southeast Asian e-commerce firm Lazada Group, and its cloud computing and digital entertainment businesses. Over the past nine months, these cumulative losses decreased real operating income by about $5 billion, even though these divisions likely have significant positive value.</p>\n<h2>It all adds up to a bargain, in Munger's eyes</h2>\n<p>One could say Alibaba's core e-commerce operating income was almost $20 billion for the nine months ended in December, good for an annual run rate around $26 billion. Against $500 billion in enterprise value, that's less than a 20 times EBIT multiple. And this is for a company that grew revenue 37% last quarter. That seems like a pretty good deal.</p>\n<p>One particular reason to be bullish is Alibaba's cloud computing division. Last quarter, cloud revenue was up 50%, and that division also just recorded its first quarter of positive adjusted EBITA. Most think cloud is in its relatively early stages, especially in China, so that division likely has significant value going forward that hasn't contributed anything to overall company operating profits yet.</p>\n<h2>Alibaba looks like a good deal, if you can handle the China risk</h2>\n<p>All in all, Alibaba stock looks like a great value, provided investors can handle the China risk. Of note, the SEC just adopted a rule that will require U.S.-listed Chinese companies to be audited by U.S. tax authorities, as well as disclose Communist Party affiliations.

Munger, 97, is still active in the investing world, not only through his activities at Berkshire, but also as chairman of the Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ:DJCO).\nMunger bought the Daily Journal decades ago when he was still running his own investment fund, for just $2.5 million. After his fund dissolved, Munger distributed shares to his partners, but he still owns around 3.6% of the company, now valued at a whopping $455 million.\nOne interesting feature of the Daily Journal, which historically published a legal newspaper and more recently began selling courthouse software, is that it takes cash flow from its core businesses and reinvests it into equities, mostly large U.S. banks.\nThis week, Munger and company turned some heads when the Daily Journal disclosed a $37 million stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA), good for 19% of the company's equity portfolio, making it the company's third-largest position behind Bank of America and Wells Fargo.\nIs Alibaba really a Munger-style value stock? And should you follow him into the Chinese giant?\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe case for Alibaba as a value stock\nAlibaba's stock has languished somewhat recently despite delivering good results, so it's no wonder Munger might have thought the company a good value at today's prices. The recent controversy around founder Jack Ma and the aborted IPO for Ant Financial, of which Alibaba holds a one-third stake, has likely played a role. Antitrust concerns in China have been an added drag. Furthermore, Alibaba is facing stiff competition in the e-commerce space from JD.com as well as the explosive discount-buying upstart Pinduoduo.\nHowever, Buffett once quipped, \"You pay a high price for a cheery consensus.\" Amid these concerns, Alibaba trades just around 25 times trailing earnings and under 19 times this year's earnings estimates. That's much cheaper than all of the FAANG stocks in the U.S., which is surprising given Alibaba's still strong growth rates and the growing middle class in China.\nBut Alibaba may be even cheaper than that\nAs is the case with several large technology conglomerates, Munger may be looking at various parts of Alibaba's sprawling empire, and might have realized these parts add up to much more than Alibaba's current market value.\nFor one thing, Alibaba has a significant amount of cash on its balance sheet, along with large stakes in private companies like Ant Group as well as publicly traded companies. As of Dec. 31, 2021, its balance sheet included $47.8 billion in cash, $22.1 billion in short-term securities, $36.8 billion in other publicly traded equity securities, and another $28.4 billion in equity method investees, such as Ant Group. Those assets add up to $135.1 billion, against just about $18 billion in short and long-term debt.\nSo while Alibaba currently sports a market cap of $615 billion or so, it's really only about $500 billion when stripping out these net assets. That's very cheap compared with Alibaba's current operating income, which totaled $14.9 billion through the first nine months of fiscal 2021, good for nearly a $20 billion run rate.\nYet even that operating income figure may underrate Alibaba's true earnings power. That's because the company is aggressively investing the large cash flows from its core e-commerce platform into other parts of its operations. In fact, Alibaba is experiencing losses in a large number of its higher-growth business, including its local consumer services business, logistics arm Cainiao, Southeast Asian e-commerce firm Lazada Group, and its cloud computing and digital entertainment businesses. Over the past nine months, these cumulative losses decreased real operating income by about $5 billion, even though these divisions likely have significant positive value.\nIt all adds up to a bargain, in Munger's eyes\nOne could say Alibaba's core e-commerce operating income was almost $20 billion for the nine months ended in December, good for an annual run rate around $26 billion. Against $500 billion in enterprise value, that's less than a 20 times EBIT multiple. And this is for a company that grew revenue 37% last quarter. That seems like a pretty good deal.\nOne particular reason to be bullish is Alibaba's cloud computing division. Last quarter, cloud revenue was up 50%, and that division also just recorded its first quarter of positive adjusted EBITA. Most think cloud is in its relatively early stages, especially in China, so that division likely has significant value going forward that hasn't contributed anything to overall company operating profits yet.\nAlibaba looks like a good deal, if you can handle the China risk\nAll in all, Alibaba stock looks like a great value, provided investors can handle the China risk. Of note, the SEC just adopted a rule that will require U.S.-listed Chinese companies to be audited by U.S. tax authorities, as well as disclose Communist Party affiliations. Therefore, some Chinese securities have sold off on further U.S.-China tension fears.\nHowever, Munger is a noted bull on China. He may think these headlines are more dire than the business reality. If that turns out to be true, he and the Daily Journal may have indeed gotten a bargain in Alibaba's stock.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"09988":0.9,"BABA":0.9,"BRK.A":0.9,"BRK.B":0.9,"QNETCN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343563040,"gmtCreate":1617725610580,"gmtModify":1634296869283,"author":{"id":"3560845643561150","authorId":"3560845643561150","name":"PatSze98","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf7cf9115008ca78f334090541a6f3d","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560845643561150","idStr":"3560845643561150"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Poor judgement&nbsp;","listText":"Poor judgement&nbsp;","text":"Poor judgement","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/343563040","repostId":"1101907559","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1101907559","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617672655,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1101907559?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-06 09:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Opinion: Financial crises get triggered about every 10 years — Archegos might be right on time","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1101907559","media":"marketwatch","summary":"No one, for now, can say for sure that the so-called family office’s billions in investment losses won’t spread.Financial crises are never quite the same.

During the late 1980s, nearly a third of the nation’s savings and loan associations failed, ending with a taxpayer bailout — in 2021 terms — of about $265 billion.</p>\n<p>In 1997-1998, financial crises in Asia and Russia led to the near meltdown of the largest hedge fund in the U.S. —Long-Term Capital Management(LTCM). Its reach and operating practices were such that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that when LTCM failed, “he had never seen anything in his lifetime that compared to the terror” he felt. LTCM was deemed “too big to fail,” and he engineered a bailout by 14 major U.S. financial institutions.</p>\n<p>Exactly a decade later, too much leverage by some of those very institutions, and the bursting of a U.S. real estate bubble, led to the near collapse of the U.S. financial system. Once again, big banks were deemed too big to fail and taxpayers came to the rescue.</p>\n<p>The trend? Every 10 years or so, and they all look different.&nbsp;Are we in the early stages of a new crisis now, with the blowup at the family office Archegos Capital Management LP?</p>\n<p>A family office, for the uninitiated, is a private wealth management vehicle for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what I mean by ultra-wealthy: Consulting firm EY estimates there are some 10,000 family offices globally, but manage, says a separate estimate by market research firm Campden Research, nearly $6 trillion. That $6 trillion is likely far higher now given that it’s based on 2019 data.</p>\n<p><b>Unregulated money managers</b></p>\n<p>Here’s the potential danger. Family offices generally aren’t regulated. The 1940 Investment Advisers Act says firms with 15 clients or fewer don’t have to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What this means is that trillions of dollars are in play and no one can really say who’s running the money, what it’s invested in, how much leverage is being used, and what kind of counterparty risk may exist. (Counterparty risk is the probability that one party involved in a financial transaction could default on a contractual obligation to someone else.)</p>\n<p>This appears to be the case with Archegos. The firm bet heavily on certain Chinese stocks, including e-commerce player&nbsp;Vipshop Holdings&nbsp;Ltd.VIPS,-1.19%,U.S.-listed Chinese tutoring company&nbsp;GSX Techedu&nbsp;Inc.GSX,-10.63%and U.S. media companiesViacomCBS&nbsp;Inc.VIAC,-3.90%and&nbsp;Discovery&nbsp;Inc.DISCA,-3.86%,among others.

It doesn’t appear to be. Even so, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into Archegos and its founder, Bill Hwang.</p>\n<p>One peer, Tom Lee, the research chief of Fundstrat Global Advisors, calls Hwang one of the “top 10 of the best investment minds” he knows.</p>\n<p>But federal regulators may have a lesser opinion.

Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).<b>These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX&nbsp; (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae7a60d873792b825bdda669cafa0ed3\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:</p><blockquote>When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead. As soon as markets would pause or catch a support level, that implied volatility would quickly reverse lower. <b>We often think of this analogy that if a shark stops swimming, it sinks ( partially true!). If the market stops dropping then Implied volatility sinks.</b></blockquote><p>With this, as we often talk about, lower implied volatility (ie lower VIX) signals market makers have to buy back short hedges which fuels rallies. SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.&nbsp; Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.&nbsp; Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>$544 Billion In Options Expire Today: Here's What Will Move</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;

Recall how as of late any sharp, violent drop in markets was bought so quickly (see chart below).These bursts lower coincided with record VIX spikes, but a reflective snap-back bid would bring a market recovery of equal force as the VIX  (i.e. implied volatility) reversed.And one other curious observation from SpotGamma:When implied volatility is very high, its very sensitive to market moves and also signaling that markets are expecting more large moves ahead. As soon as markets would pause or catch a support level, that implied volatility would quickly reverse lower. We often think of this analogy that if a shark stops swimming, it sinks ( partially true!). If the market stops dropping then Implied volatility sinks.With this, as we often talk about, lower implied volatility (ie lower VIX) signals market makers have to buy back short hedges which fuels rallies. SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.  Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.  Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":726,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347982296,"gmtCreate":1618456505915,"gmtModify":1634292812270,"author":{"id":"3560845643561150","authorId":"3560845643561150","name":"PatSze98","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf7cf9115008ca78f334090541a6f3d","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560845643561150","idStr":"3560845643561150"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I love cathie","listText":"I love cathie","text":"I love cathie","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/347982296","repostId":"2127074226","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2127074226","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618455604,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2127074226?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-15 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood's ARK Buys 750K Shares of Coinbase, Sells 240K Shares of Tesla","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2127074226","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"Cathie Wood's ARK Investment active ETFs added bought shares of new listing Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) ","content":"<p>Cathie Wood's ARK Investment active ETFs added bought shares of new listing Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) on Wednesday.

That forced changes to the long-telegraphed transition, leaving the party to seek a successor among its younger leaders before the next election due by 2025.</p>\n<p>Since founding father Lee Kuan Yew relinquished power some three decades ago, Singapore’s politics have been so well choreographed and predictable that they’re often joked about as dull. Local markets barely budged on Heng’s announcement earlier this month that he was stepping out of the running. Analysts have said they expect Singapore to remain politically stable.</p>\n<p>Though no clear successor to Lee was identified Friday, the finance minister selection could be a signal of who among the party’s “fourth-generation” leaders ultimately might be positioned for the top job. Heng was named finance chief in 2015 and added the&nbsp;deputy prime minister role&nbsp;to his portfolio in 2019.

On Monday the stock was printing a bullish engulfing candlestick indicating higher prices may come in the short term.\nBulls will want to see Square clear resistance at the $249 level and for bullish volume to come in and give the break continued upwards momentum for a move back toward the $260 mark.\nOn Monday a number of options traders decided to front run the anticipated move and purchased over $1.73 million worth of call contracts. The call options mostly had a strike price of $250 and one had a $260 strike. This indicates these options traders believe Square is headed towards its next resistance level.\nWhy It’s Important:When a sweep order occurs, it indicates the trader wanted to get into a position quickly and is anticipating an imminent large move in stock price. A sweeper pays the market price for the call or put option instead of placing a bid, which sweeps the order book of multiple exchanges to fill the order immediately.\nThese types of call option orders are usually made by institutions, and retail investors can find watching for sweepers useful because it indicates “smart money” has entered into a position.\nThe Square Option Trades:Below is a look at the notable options alerts, courtesy ofBenzinga Pro:\n\nAt 12:13 p.m., Monday a trader executed a call sweep near the ask of 429 Square options with a strike price of $260 expiring on Aug. 20.

SG's conclusion: this current level of lower implied volatility now gives the market more downside firepower.  Starting with a lower implied volatility “slows down” that responsive “snap-back” buying mechanism.  Additionally, gamma is higher when IV is lower so gamma flips may have more juice.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":297,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370319511,"gmtCreate":1618551175433,"gmtModify":1634292130993,"author":{"id":"3560845643561150","authorId":"3560845643561150","name":"PatSze98","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf7cf9115008ca78f334090541a6f3d","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560845643561150","idStr":"3560845643561150"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/370319511","repostId":"2127076940","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2127076940","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1618537658,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2127076940?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-16 09:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"84% Of Warren Buffett's Portfolio In 2021 Is In These 3 Categories","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2127076940","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The legendary value investor and Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett has an unmatched track r","content":"<p>The legendary value investor and Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett has an unmatched track record of market-beating returns for more than half a century.

Many see them as cheap, based on 2019 results. Others see them greatly exceeding those results due to pent-up demand.</p>\n<p>It’s a dream you can feel. Roads are crowded again. Plus, savings rates were high during the pandemic for those who had jobs they could do from home. Much of that money will be spent this year with the economic reopening.</p>\n<p>Travel companies should benefit from both efficiency and rising prices post-pandemic. But which stocks are right for you? For this article, I’ve looked at eight of the best-known names. My views on them vary. Generally, I think the companies that were strongest going in should be stronger coming out. Other companies are speculative and have already had good runs through early 2021.</p>\n<p>But I’m just the writer. You’re the decider. There should be profits coming throughout the sector, but your mileage as an investor will vary with where you decide to put your money.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Southwest Airlines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Airbnb</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ABNB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RCL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Delta Air Lines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Tripadvisor</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TRIP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>United Airlines</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>UAL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Carnival</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCL</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Southwest (LUV):&nbsp; The Strongest Airline</b></p>\n<p>The strongest airline going into the pandemic was&nbsp;<b>Southwest Airlines</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>). It’s also the strongest one&nbsp;coming out of it.</p>\n<p>But analysts know this. That’s part of why Southwest is also the most expensive airline stock. Its price of about $62 per share today is above where it was before the pandemic hit, before it suspended its 18 cent quarterly dividend.</p>\n<p>LUV stock is strong because, while it added $9 billion in long-term debt to its balance sheet during 2020, it ended the year with $13 billion in cash. It has also already begun&nbsp;calling back pilots&nbsp;for the summer flying season.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest risks in the stock before the pandemic, though, was Southwest’s dependence on&nbsp;<b>Boeing</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>) aircraft, especially the troubled 737-MAX. The company has doubled down on that this year,ordering 100 more&nbsp;of the planes. CEO Gary Kelly says he has&nbsp;complete faith&nbsp;in the aircraft, but some have already been&nbsp;grounded again&nbsp;after Boeing reported electrical problems.</p>\n<p>That said, Southwest is also changing its route structure post-pandemic, focusing on smaller vacation markets like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and&nbsp;dramatically increasing&nbsp;the number of flights to Austin, Texas. It’s this ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions that makes Southwest one of the best reopening stocks to buy for post-pandemic growth.</p>\n<p><b>Is Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?</b></p>\n<p>Before the pandemic,<b>Booking Holdings</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BKNG</u></b>), which began life as Priceline, was&nbsp;the unquestioned king&nbsp;of the travel market. However, there’s a new king in the post-pandemic era: Airbnb.</p>\n<p>Airbnb only came public in 2020, but ABNB stock rocketed out of the gate. Shares were offered&nbsp;at $68 each. However, they started trading at $146 on Dec. 10. Since then, they’re up another 21%, even after investors took profit when they briefly rose over $200 per share in February.</p>\n<p>But Airbnb may now be overvalued. Currently, it has a market capitalization of $107 billion on 2020 sales of $3.4 billion. Even if you write that year off, its selling at over 22 times its 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion.</p>\n<p>Airbnb specializes in renting out bedrooms, apartments and personal homes. That’s the promise. But as the company has grown, professionals and investors have moved in. Just 5% of owners now control&nbsp;one-third&nbsp;of all listings. Additionally, some cities are fighting Airbnb. This strict regulation,especially in tourist cities, could dramatically slow its growth.</p>\n<p>Rivals aren’t sitting on their hands, either. Booking has a comparable&nbsp;version&nbsp;of Airbnb and&nbsp;<b>Expedia</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>EXPE</u></b>) is heavily advertising its version, Vrbo. Plus, Airbnb’s new “Experiences” business, which some analysts consider to be a&nbsp;growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor&nbsp;has been doing&nbsp;for years.</p>\n<p>It’s possible that this company will keep rising as one of the reopening stocks. It’s also possible it won’t.</p>\n<p><b>Travel Gives Disney (DIS) a Second Stage of Growth</b></p>\n<p>Disney has been a&nbsp;standout during the pandemic. Shares of DIS stock are up 77% over the past one year, thanks mainly to the success of its streaming strategy. It now has&nbsp;some 137 million&nbsp;paying customers across its various streaming services like Hulu, ESPN+ and&nbsp;Disney+.</p>\n<p>Now, it’s possible that travel will add a second stage to Disney’s rocketing success. Before the pandemic, its travel and resorts business represented some 40% of the company’s revenue. Most of that was shut down in early 2020. Now, though, it’s coming back. As it does, revenue should quickly recover from the&nbsp;22% hit&nbsp;Disney suffered in 2020.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many analysts think those gains&nbsp;may already be in the stock. Shares were hit by profit-taking in&nbsp;early 2021&nbsp;and now trade below their February highs.</p>\n<p>Still, if you’re looking for long-term value, most analysts still believe in Disney as one of the reopening stocks. Of the 20 analysts following it at&nbsp;<i>Tipranks,</i>17 say&nbsp;it’s a buy.<b>Bank of America</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>) is especially optimistic, despite the shares now trading for&nbsp;about 135 times&nbsp;levered annual cash flow. It was selling at around 25 times before the pandemic hit.</p>\n<p><b>Royal Caribbean (RCL) Is the Most Investable Cruise Line</b></p>\n<p>During the latter part of the last decade, Royal Caribbean chose to grow its fleet of ships at a sustainable rate. It’s now benefitting from that strategy, becoming the most“investable”of the cruise line stocks. Right now, shares of RCL stock are up 125% for the past one year, as optimism grows for reopening stocks.</p>\n<p>Royal Caribbean owns Celebrity and Silversea cruises as well as its namesake fleet. It completed the purchase of Silversea last year, then sold Azamara, a luxury brand,to private equity. It also took a Spanish line called Pullmantur bankrupt and hopes to relaunch it later this year.</p>\n<p>While the company’s net debt rose 42% during 2020&nbsp;to $16.45 billion, the company had $4.4 billion in cash at the end of December. It’s also loaning $40 million&nbsp;to travel agents&nbsp;to get them through and hopes to return to full U.S. service&nbsp;by November. Meanwhile, pent-up demand is so great that it’s already filling ships in Singapore for“cruises to nowhere.”</p>\n<p><b>Delta (DAL) Has Yet to Regain Its Highs</b></p>\n<p>While Southwest now sells for more than it did before the pandemic, shares of Delta Air Lines&nbsp;remain&nbsp;about 20% below&nbsp;where they were. Today, DAL stock trades for almost $47.</p>\n<p>That’s because, while domestic travel is starting to return to normal and Delta&nbsp;plans on filling its middle seats&nbsp;in May, international travel remains slow. Even domestic travel is running on optimism. About 1.6 million people flew one day&nbsp;in early April. Before the pandemic, back in 2019, that number was well over 2 million on the same day.</p>\n<p>Despite the government’s turning some of its pandemic loans into grants, Delta ended 2020 with&nbsp;$33 billion in long term debt, against assets of $71 billion. Moreover, Delta had an&nbsp;adjusted loss&nbsp;of $3.55 per share for its first-quarter earnings.</p>\n<p>Once Delta has positive free cash flow again,<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Mark Hake expects the stock to&nbsp;take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>&nbsp;call it&nbsp;a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.</p>\n<p>All in all, while Delta has&nbsp;survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.</p>\n<p>All in all, while Delta has&nbsp;survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.</p>\n<p><b>Trip Advisor (TRIP) Has a Plan for the New Normal</b></p>\n<p>Tripadvisor has a plan for big profits in the post-pandemic world. Basically, it wants to become the&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) of travel.</p>\n<p>That doesn’t mean running the whole travel business. Instead, it means charging customers $99 per year for special discounts and perks on rooms. It calls this&nbsp;new program&nbsp;Tripadvisor Plus.</p>\n<p>This idea could be a win-win-win. Hotels and resorts will get loyal customers at a discount. Customers who sign up will get discounts and perks. And Tripadvisor will get cash for running the program.</p>\n<p>Right now, though, the company badly needs investors to forget 2020, when it lost $2.14 per share on revenue of just $604 million. Rather, it wants them to remember 2019, when the company made $126 million, or 91 cents per share, on&nbsp;revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.</p>\n<p>But 2020&nbsp;<i>did happen</i>— and it did substantial financial damage at that. That said, while 2021 should start off slow, results should also rise sharply once the new program’s revenues start coming in. So, if you believe in it’s new program’s pitch, TRIP stock maybe one of the better reopening stocks for you.</p>\n<p><b>Speculators Are Now Betting on United Airlines (UAL)</b></p>\n<p>Investment often reminds me of westward migration; the speculators come in first, then come the investors. Right now, UAL stock is&nbsp;benefitting from speculation.</p>\n<p>While Southwest Airlines has passed its 2020 high and Delta Air Lines&nbsp;is approaching it, United is just halfway back. Its market cap of $18 billion is less than half its 2019 revenue of&nbsp;$43 billion.</p>\n<p>The airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Analysts expect a&nbsp;first-quarter loss&nbsp;of $6.23 per share. The airline’s bond rating is also&nbsp;below investment grade&nbsp;and its most recent debt issue carried an&nbsp;interest rate&nbsp;of 4.875%. Still, speculators have been rushing in as the airline said it was probably&nbsp;cash flow positive&nbsp;in March.</p>\n<p>Going beyond speculative gains, however, will mean regaining the&nbsp;trust of employees, the government and passengers, which was not helped by an engineblowing out&nbsp;back in February.</p>\n<p>As a result, analysts are divided on United, with only about half of them saying it’s a buy on&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>. Even&nbsp;<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Louis Navellier calls this one of the reopening stocks“a poor way to make money.”</p>\n<p><b>Will Cruising Resume Soon Enough for Carnival (CCL)?</b></p>\n<p>Of all the reopening stocks on this list, CCL stock stands out as&nbsp;a cautionary tale.</p>\n<p>Before the pandemic, Carnival was buying boats with both hands, planning to add&nbsp;22 new liners&nbsp;by 2025. Basically, it was putting all of its cash flow to work.</p>\n<p>Then the music stopped. While based in Miami, Carnival has its legal home in Panama. This made it ineligible for pandemic relief. It was only thanks to the Federal Reserve’s expansion of the money supply that Carnival was able to survive. But the price was steep. One&nbsp;$4 billion bond&nbsp;carries an interest rate of 11.5%, while another $1.75 billion bond is convertible into stock, diluting shareholders.</p>\n<p>Now in April, though, shares are back to around $28 with a market cap of $32 billion after 2019 revenue of $20.8 billion. That’s still less than the&nbsp;$57 billion in assets&nbsp;it carries on the books, mainly in the form of “property and equipment” like its boats.</p>\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now believes cruising&nbsp;could resume&nbsp;this summer.

Many see them as cheap, based on 2019 results. Others see them greatly exceeding those results due to pent-up demand.\nIt’s a dream you can feel. Roads are crowded again. Plus, savings rates were high during the pandemic for those who had jobs they could do from home. Much of that money will be spent this year with the economic reopening.\nTravel companies should benefit from both efficiency and rising prices post-pandemic. But which stocks are right for you? For this article, I’ve looked at eight of the best-known names. My views on them vary. Generally, I think the companies that were strongest going in should be stronger coming out. Other companies are speculative and have already had good runs through early 2021.\nBut I’m just the writer. You’re the decider. There should be profits coming throughout the sector, but your mileage as an investor will vary with where you decide to put your money.\n\nSouthwest Airlines(NYSE:LUV)\nAirbnb(NASDAQ:ABNB)\nDisney(NYSE:DIS)\nRoyal Caribbean(NYSE:RCL)\nDelta Air Lines(NYSE:DAL)\nTripadvisor(NASDAQ:TRIP)\nUnited Airlines(NASDAQ:UAL)\nCarnival(NYSE:CCL)\n\nSouthwest (LUV):  The Strongest Airline\nThe strongest airline going into the pandemic was Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV). It’s also the strongest one coming out of it.\nBut analysts know this. That’s part of why Southwest is also the most expensive airline stock. Its price of about $62 per share today is above where it was before the pandemic hit, before it suspended its 18 cent quarterly dividend.\nLUV stock is strong because, while it added $9 billion in long-term debt to its balance sheet during 2020, it ended the year with $13 billion in cash. It has also already begun calling back pilots for the summer flying season.\nOne of the biggest risks in the stock before the pandemic, though, was Southwest’s dependence on Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft, especially the troubled 737-MAX. The company has doubled down on that this year,ordering 100 more of the planes. CEO Gary Kelly says he has complete faith in the aircraft, but some have already been grounded again after Boeing reported electrical problems.\nThat said, Southwest is also changing its route structure post-pandemic, focusing on smaller vacation markets like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and dramatically increasing the number of flights to Austin, Texas. It’s this ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions that makes Southwest one of the best reopening stocks to buy for post-pandemic growth.\nIs Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?\nBefore the pandemic,Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG), which began life as Priceline, was the unquestioned king of the travel market. However, there’s a new king in the post-pandemic era: Airbnb.\nAirbnb only came public in 2020, but ABNB stock rocketed out of the gate. Shares were offered at $68 each. However, they started trading at $146 on Dec. 10. Since then, they’re up another 21%, even after investors took profit when they briefly rose over $200 per share in February.\nBut Airbnb may now be overvalued. Currently, it has a market capitalization of $107 billion on 2020 sales of $3.4 billion. Even if you write that year off, its selling at over 22 times its 2019 revenue of $4.8 billion.\nAirbnb specializes in renting out bedrooms, apartments and personal homes. That’s the promise. But as the company has grown, professionals and investors have moved in. Just 5% of owners now control one-third of all listings. Additionally, some cities are fighting Airbnb. This strict regulation,especially in tourist cities, could dramatically slow its growth.\nRivals aren’t sitting on their hands, either. Booking has a comparable version of Airbnb and Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) is heavily advertising its version, Vrbo. Plus, Airbnb’s new “Experiences” business, which some analysts consider to be a growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor has been doing for years.\nIt’s possible that this company will keep rising as one of the reopening stocks. It’s also possible it won’t.\nTravel Gives Disney (DIS) a Second Stage of Growth\nDisney has been a standout during the pandemic. Shares of DIS stock are up 77% over the past one year, thanks mainly to the success of its streaming strategy. It now has some 137 million paying customers across its various streaming services like Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+.\nNow, it’s possible that travel will add a second stage to Disney’s rocketing success. Before the pandemic, its travel and resorts business represented some 40% of the company’s revenue. Most of that was shut down in early 2020. Now, though, it’s coming back. As it does, revenue should quickly recover from the 22% hit Disney suffered in 2020.\nUnfortunately, many analysts think those gains may already be in the stock. Shares were hit by profit-taking in early 2021 and now trade below their February highs.\nStill, if you’re looking for long-term value, most analysts still believe in Disney as one of the reopening stocks. Of the 20 analysts following it at Tipranks,17 say it’s a buy.Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is especially optimistic, despite the shares now trading for about 135 times levered annual cash flow. It was selling at around 25 times before the pandemic hit.\nRoyal Caribbean (RCL) Is the Most Investable Cruise Line\nDuring the latter part of the last decade, Royal Caribbean chose to grow its fleet of ships at a sustainable rate. It’s now benefitting from that strategy, becoming the most“investable”of the cruise line stocks. Right now, shares of RCL stock are up 125% for the past one year, as optimism grows for reopening stocks.\nRoyal Caribbean owns Celebrity and Silversea cruises as well as its namesake fleet. It completed the purchase of Silversea last year, then sold Azamara, a luxury brand,to private equity. It also took a Spanish line called Pullmantur bankrupt and hopes to relaunch it later this year.\nWhile the company’s net debt rose 42% during 2020 to $16.45 billion, the company had $4.4 billion in cash at the end of December. It’s also loaning $40 million to travel agents to get them through and hopes to return to full U.S. service by November. Meanwhile, pent-up demand is so great that it’s already filling ships in Singapore for“cruises to nowhere.”\nDelta (DAL) Has Yet to Regain Its Highs\nWhile Southwest now sells for more than it did before the pandemic, shares of Delta Air Lines remain about 20% below where they were. Today, DAL stock trades for almost $47.\nThat’s because, while domestic travel is starting to return to normal and Delta plans on filling its middle seats in May, international travel remains slow. Even domestic travel is running on optimism. About 1.6 million people flew one day in early April. Before the pandemic, back in 2019, that number was well over 2 million on the same day.\nDespite the government’s turning some of its pandemic loans into grants, Delta ended 2020 with $33 billion in long term debt, against assets of $71 billion. Moreover, Delta had an adjusted loss of $3.55 per share for its first-quarter earnings.\nOnce Delta has positive free cash flow again,InvestorPlace’s Mark Hake expects the stock to take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by Tipranks call it a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.\nAll in all, while Delta has survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.\nAll in all, while Delta has survived the pandemic, it has also mortgaged much of its future. That mortgage must be paid before I see this pick of the reopening stocks as a buy again.\nTrip Advisor (TRIP) Has a Plan for the New Normal\nTripadvisor has a plan for big profits in the post-pandemic world. Basically, it wants to become the Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) of travel.\nThat doesn’t mean running the whole travel business. Instead, it means charging customers $99 per year for special discounts and perks on rooms. It calls this new program Tripadvisor Plus.\nThis idea could be a win-win-win. Hotels and resorts will get loyal customers at a discount. Customers who sign up will get discounts and perks. And Tripadvisor will get cash for running the program.\nRight now, though, the company badly needs investors to forget 2020, when it lost $2.14 per share on revenue of just $604 million. Rather, it wants them to remember 2019, when the company made $126 million, or 91 cents per share, on revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.\nBut 2020 did happen— and it did substantial financial damage at that. That said, while 2021 should start off slow, results should also rise sharply once the new program’s revenues start coming in. So, if you believe in it’s new program’s pitch, TRIP stock maybe one of the better reopening stocks for you.\nSpeculators Are Now Betting on United Airlines (UAL)\nInvestment often reminds me of westward migration; the speculators come in first, then come the investors. Right now, UAL stock is benefitting from speculation.\nWhile Southwest Airlines has passed its 2020 high and Delta Air Lines is approaching it, United is just halfway back. Its market cap of $18 billion is less than half its 2019 revenue of $43 billion.\nThe airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Even InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier calls this one of the reopening stocks“a poor way to make money.”\nWill Cruising Resume Soon Enough for Carnival (CCL)?\nOf all the reopening stocks on this list, CCL stock stands out as a cautionary tale.\nBefore the pandemic, Carnival was buying boats with both hands, planning to add 22 new liners by 2025. Basically, it was putting all of its cash flow to work.\nThen the music stopped. While based in Miami, Carnival has its legal home in Panama. This made it ineligible for pandemic relief. It was only thanks to the Federal Reserve’s expansion of the money supply that Carnival was able to survive. But the price was steep.
