fromBank of Americahave picked stocks set to get a boost as economies in the U.S. and Europe recover from the coronavirus pandemic.“We highlight stock opportunities in both regions poised to benefit against the current backdrop (stronger relative ... US growth and rising inflation), as well as beneficiaries of the faster-than-expected re-opening in Europe,” the bank’s analysts wrote in a note published Wednesday.The bank added stocks to its “Best Ideas List,” some of which it said were set for a particularly strong bounce and positive growth. “The companies range from airlines to online fashion retail to healthcare supplies and insurance,” the analysts, led by Jill Carey Hall, wrote.BofA’s “best” stock picks include:Luxury and retailLuxury online fashion retailerFarfetchis a pick for the bank, which said it is “a good way to gain exposure to North America and especially the U.S., which is the group’s single largest country exposure.” It comes as the bank noted a sharp rise in demand for luxury goods in March. The bank also picked ecommerce retailerAsosand duty-free operatorDufry.FoodBofA likes salmon supplierAtlantic Sapphireas it is building a large-scale land-based farm in Miami — making it the first local producer for the U.S. market. This is likely to make it “the most cost effective and sustainable salmon supplier” in the country. The bank also pickedAAK, a Swedish specialist producer of fats and oils, which it said is tapping into a U.S. trend for plant-based foods as well as a rise in chocolate consumption.Airlines and aerospaceBritish Airways-ownerIAGis a pick for BofA as it “could see a strong swing in both sentiment and earnings momentum as the economy opens up.” Europe is set to be the most popular travel destination for Americans once travel restrictions are lifted, according to a survey the bank carried out in March, which is set to benefit the airline stock. German aircraft engine manufacturerMTU Aero Enginesis also a pick.Metals and manufacturingGerman steel and engineering firmThyssenkruppis set to benefit from a V-shaped recovery after the coronavirus pandemic, BofA’s analysts said. “There are discussions about a potential lifting of US tariffs on European metals. If this happens, we’d expect to see European steel prices bid up,” they wrote.Spirax Sarco, a British firm that makes steam management systems, is also a pick for its mix of direct and distributor sales, and could see “particularly strong” growth this year. French semiconductor materials manufacturerSoitecis also on the bank’s list for its 5G smartphone tech.The Bank of America research note was focused on small and mid-caps in each region, and the analysts noted they were now overweight on small caps in both Europe and the U.S.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BAC":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1927,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119052248,"gmtCreate":1622510160884,"gmtModify":1634100985540,"author":{"id":"3573968909611636","authorId":"3573968909611636","name":"Xelaky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ce175486aadac22fde893a36c54b79a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573968909611636","authorIdStr":"3573968909611636"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/119052248","repostId":"1196805095","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1837,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":132495773,"gmtCreate":1622105080892,"gmtModify":1634183809635,"author":{"id":"3573968909611636","authorId":"3573968909611636","name":"Xelaky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ce175486aadac22fde893a36c54b79a","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573968909611636","authorIdStr":"3573968909611636"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/132495773","repostId":"1150713912","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150713912","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1622016404,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150713912?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-26 16:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Li Auto EPS beats by $0.01, beats on revenue","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150713912","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(May 26) Li Auto Inc.

The increase in revenue from vehicle sales over the first quarter of 2020 was mainly attributable to the increase in vehicle deliveries with the continuous expansion of our sales network.

The bank also picked ecommerce retailerAsosand duty-free operatorDufry.FoodBofA likes salmon supplierAtlantic Sapphireas it is building a large-scale land-based farm in Miami — making it the first local producer for the U.S. market. This is likely to make it “the most cost effective and sustainable salmon supplier” in the country. The bank also pickedAAK, a Swedish specialist producer of fats and oils, which it said is tapping into a U.S. trend for plant-based foods as well as a rise in chocolate consumption.Airlines and aerospaceBritish Airways-ownerIAGis a pick for BofA as it “could see a strong swing in both sentiment and earnings momentum as the economy opens up.” Europe is set to be the most popular travel destination for Americans once travel restrictions are lifted, according to a survey the bank carried out in March, which is set to benefit the airline stock. German aircraft engine manufacturerMTU Aero Enginesis also a pick.Metals and manufacturingGerman steel and engineering firmThyssenkruppis set to benefit from a V-shaped recovery after the coronavirus pandemic, BofA’s analysts said. “There are discussions about a potential lifting of US tariffs on European metals. If this happens, we’d expect to see European steel prices bid up,” they wrote.Spirax Sarco, a British firm that makes steam management systems, is also a pick for its mix of direct and distributor sales, and could see “particularly strong” growth this year.

The increase in revenue from vehicle sales over the first quarter of 2020 was mainly attributable to the increase in vehicle deliveries with the continuous expansion of our sales network. The decrease in revenue from vehicle sales from the fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly attributable to the decrease in vehicle deliveries, which were affected by seasonal factors related to the Chinese New Year holiday as well as the localized COVID-19 outbreaks in the northern China in February 2021.</li><li><b>Other sales and services</b>were RMB111.5 million (US$17.0 million) in the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 951.9% from RMB10.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 and an increase of 25.0% from RMB89.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue from other sales and services over the first and fourth quarter of 2020 was mainly attributable to increased sales of charging stalls, accessories and services in line with higher accumulated vehicle sales.</li></ul><p><b>Cost of Sales and Gross Margin</b></p><ul><li><b>Cost of sales</b>was RMB2.96 billion (US$451.6 million) in the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 277.6% from RMB783.4 million in the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 13.5% from RMB3.42 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020.</li><li><b>Gross profit</b>was RMB616.7 million (US$94.1 million) in the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 802.9% from RMB 68.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 14.9% from RMB724.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.</li><li><b>Vehicle margin</b>was 16.9% in the first quarter of 2021, compared with 8.4% in the first quarter of 2020 and 17.1% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in vehicle margin over the first quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to lower material cost and lower unit manufacturing overhead cost derived from the increased production volume.
