Larger-than-expected investments in the near future, an unfavorable sales mix with the introduction of new footwear products next year, and potential supply chain disruptions could be a potential drag on LULU's forward earnings.</p>\n<p>My rating for Lululemon is a Hold or Neutral. On one hand, I am positive on LULU's better-than-expected Q2 results and its long-term growth prospects. On the flip side, LULU's premium valuations and recent share price run have priced in the near-term positives for the company, while there are downside risks relating to its future earnings outlook.</p>\n<p><b>Company Description</b></p>\n<p>In its press releases, Lululemon Athletica Inc refers to itself as \"a healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training, and most other sweaty pursuits\". LULU was established in 1998, and the company's shares were listed on the Nasdaq in 2007.</p>\n<p>As of August 1, 2021, Lululemon boasted a network of 534 storesthat are located in 17 different markets. LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"</p>\n<p><b>Lululemon Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Lululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.</p>\n<p>LULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.</p>\n<p>At its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\". The company also emphasized that its \"brand is early innings across product with activities where we focus on\" and \"gaining market share across categories\".</p>\n<p>Separately, it is critical to examine if whether Lululemon's recent share price outperformance makes it less attractive as a potential investment candidate in terms of valuations.</p>\n<p><b>Peer Valuation Comparison For LULU</b></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td><b>Stock</b></td>\n <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple</b></td>\n <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple</b></td>\n <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric</b></td>\n <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric</b></td>\n <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year ROE Metric</b></td>\n <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year ROE Metric</b></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><b>Lululemon</b></td>\n <td>56.0</td>\n <td>47.1</td>\n <td>+41.6%</td>\n <td>+15.0%</td>\n <td>33.4%</td>\n <td>34.8%</td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

LULU does boast superior revenue growth prospects as compared to all of its peers, while its forecasted ROEs are higher than the majority of its peers as well. As such, Lululemon does deserve to trade at higher P/E multiples than that of its peers, but the stock's lofty valuations are not very attractive on an absolute basis if one wants to consider it as an investment candidate.</p>\n<p><b>LULU Stock Earnings</b></p>\n<p>LULU reported its Q2 2021 earnings on September 8, 2021 after trading hours, and the company's stock price jumped by +11% the next day, from $380.85 to $420.71. It is clear that the market is very satisfied with Lululemon's recent quarterly financial performance.</p>\n<p>LULU's top line expanded by +61% YoY from $903 million in Q2 2020 to $1,451 million in Q2 2021, while its non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share increased by +123% YoY from $0.74 to$1.65over the same period. Notably, Lululemon's revenue and earnings per share were+9% and +39% higher than the market consensus' forecasts, respectively based on S&P Capital IQ data. As I highlighted in the preceding section with reference to the management's comments, athleisure continues to see strong demand, and Lululemon is a key beneficiary as the leading brand in this segment, which explains the company's good quarterly financial results.</p>\n<p>Specifically, the excellent performance of Lululemon's international and e-commerce businesses in the recent quarter is noteworthy. LULU's revenue from international markets grew by +49% YoY in Q2 2021, and this was equivalent to a two-year CAGR of +43%. Lululemon highlighted at the company's Q2 earnings call that \"our international business is ahead of the four times growth (revenue target) we put out to be completed by the end of 2023.\"</p>\n<p>On the other hand, LULU's e-commerce sales still increased by+4%YoY (adjusted for foreign exchange effects) in Q2 2021, despite an exceptionally high base in Q2 2020 (+157% YoY e-commerce sales growth). This translates to a two-year e-commerce sales CAGR of approximately +66%. Lululemonrevealedthat it is implementing new initiatives to further drive the growth of its e-commerce business, which includes \"expanding our alternative payment methods, improved storytelling, more predictive search and a more seamless checkout.\"</p>\n<p>Moving ahead, Lululemon is guiding for $6.19-$6.26 billion in revenue and $7.38-$7.48 in earnings per share for full-year fiscal 2021. This is aligned with Wall Street analysts' consensus top line and bottom line of $6.233 billion and $7.48, which translate to YoY growth rates of +41.6% and +59.2%, respectively as per S&P Capital IQ data.</p>\n<p>However, there is a real risk that the company disappoints on profitability in the coming quarters.</p>\n<p>Firstly, Lululemon's future investments could be larger than expected. The company guided at its recent results call for FY 2021 SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative) \"deleverage of 10 to 30 basis points versus 2020\" and an increase in capital expenditures this year. LULU attributed this to \"our investment in MIRROR (highlighted in \"Company Description\" section) brand building\", \"MIRROR shop-in-shops\" and \"increased investment in our supply chain, digital capabilities, new store openings and renovations.\" It is not unusual for actual investments to turn out to be greater than what companies budget for.</p>\n<p>Secondly, LULU's introduction of footwear products in 2022 could be negative for the company's overall gross profit margin. At its 1Q 2021 earnings call in June 2021, Lululemon mentioned that \"we are bringing footwear next year.\" As a new product line which will begin with relatively lower volume, footwear products are likely to have lower gross profit margins than LULU's existing core products. In other words, Lululemon's sales mix could be less favorable next year, and this could translate to lower gross margins for the company as a whole.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, lock-downs in Vietnam relating to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the company's business operations. Lululemon acknowledged at its Q2 2021 results briefing that the Vietnam production disruption \"is currently impacting approximately 20% of our second half inventory\", with the country accounting for \"30% of our finished goods.\" A September 13, 2021 <i>Seeking Alpha</i> news article quoted research from <i>BTIG</i> which mentioned that there are \"supply risks in the apparel and footwear sector as the negative impact of Vietnam factory closures becomes clearer.\" LULU's current full-year guidance is based onthe assumptionthat Southern Vietnam commences its re-opening process this month, and if that does not happen, Lululemon's financial numbers in the subsequent quarters could potentially come in below expectations.</p>\n<p><b>Is LULU Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</b></p>\n<p>LULU stock is a Hold based on my analysis.</p>\n<p>I fear that Lululemon could suffer from a valuation de-rating, assuming that the company's future quarterly earnings fall short of market expectations as a result of the various factors that I highlighted in the previous section. That said, I do acknowledge that LULU is the market leader in athleisure with significantmarket share, and its medium-term growth prospects are excellent, especially for the international and e-commerce segments.

Larger-than-expected investments in the near future, an unfavorable sales mix with the introduction of new footwear products next year, and potential supply chain disruptions could be a potential drag on LULU's forward earnings.\nMy rating for Lululemon is a Hold or Neutral. On one hand, I am positive on LULU's better-than-expected Q2 results and its long-term growth prospects. On the flip side, LULU's premium valuations and recent share price run have priced in the near-term positives for the company, while there are downside risks relating to its future earnings outlook.\nCompany Description\nIn its press releases, Lululemon Athletica Inc refers to itself as \"a healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training, and most other sweaty pursuits\". LULU was established in 1998, and the company's shares were listed on the Nasdaq in 2007.\nAs of August 1, 2021, Lululemon boasted a network of 534 storesthat are located in 17 different markets. LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"\nLululemon Stock Price\nLululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.\nLULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.\nAt its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\". The company also emphasized that its \"brand is early innings across product with activities where we focus on\" and \"gaining market share across categories\".\nSeparately, it is critical to examine if whether Lululemon's recent share price outperformance makes it less attractive as a potential investment candidate in terms of valuations.\nPeer Valuation Comparison For LULU\n\n\n\nStock\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year ROE Metric\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year ROE Metric\n\n\nLululemon\n56.0\n47.1\n+41.6%\n+15.0%\n33.4%\n34.8%\n\n\nCanada Goose Holdings Inc.

LULU does boast superior revenue growth prospects as compared to all of its peers, while its forecasted ROEs are higher than the majority of its peers as well. As such, Lululemon does deserve to trade at higher P/E multiples than that of its peers, but the stock's lofty valuations are not very attractive on an absolute basis if one wants to consider it as an investment candidate.\nLULU Stock Earnings\nLULU reported its Q2 2021 earnings on September 8, 2021 after trading hours, and the company's stock price jumped by +11% the next day, from $380.85 to $420.71. It is clear that the market is very satisfied with Lululemon's recent quarterly financial performance.\nLULU's top line expanded by +61% YoY from $903 million in Q2 2020 to $1,451 million in Q2 2021, while its non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share increased by +123% YoY from $0.74 to$1.65over the same period. Notably, Lululemon's revenue and earnings per share were+9% and +39% higher than the market consensus' forecasts, respectively based on S&P Capital IQ data. As I highlighted in the preceding section with reference to the management's comments, athleisure continues to see strong demand, and Lululemon is a key beneficiary as the leading brand in this segment, which explains the company's good quarterly financial results.\nSpecifically, the excellent performance of Lululemon's international and e-commerce businesses in the recent quarter is noteworthy. LULU's revenue from international markets grew by +49% YoY in Q2 2021, and this was equivalent to a two-year CAGR of +43%. Lululemon highlighted at the company's Q2 earnings call that \"our international business is ahead of the four times growth (revenue target) we put out to be completed by the end of 2023.\"\nOn the other hand, LULU's e-commerce sales still increased by+4%YoY (adjusted for foreign exchange effects) in Q2 2021, despite an exceptionally high base in Q2 2020 (+157% YoY e-commerce sales growth). This translates to a two-year e-commerce sales CAGR of approximately +66%. Lululemonrevealedthat it is implementing new initiatives to further drive the growth of its e-commerce business, which includes \"expanding our alternative payment methods, improved storytelling, more predictive search and a more seamless checkout.\"\nMoving ahead, Lululemon is guiding for $6.19-$6.26 billion in revenue and $7.38-$7.48 in earnings per share for full-year fiscal 2021. This is aligned with Wall Street analysts' consensus top line and bottom line of $6.233 billion and $7.48, which translate to YoY growth rates of +41.6% and +59.2%, respectively as per S&P Capital IQ data.\nHowever, there is a real risk that the company disappoints on profitability in the coming quarters.\nFirstly, Lululemon's future investments could be larger than expected. The company guided at its recent results call for FY 2021 SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative) \"deleverage of 10 to 30 basis points versus 2020\" and an increase in capital expenditures this year. LULU attributed this to \"our investment in MIRROR (highlighted in \"Company Description\" section) brand building\", \"MIRROR shop-in-shops\" and \"increased investment in our supply chain, digital capabilities, new store openings and renovations.\" It is not unusual for actual investments to turn out to be greater than what companies budget for.\nSecondly, LULU's introduction of footwear products in 2022 could be negative for the company's overall gross profit margin. At its 1Q 2021 earnings call in June 2021, Lululemon mentioned that \"we are bringing footwear next year.\" As a new product line which will begin with relatively lower volume, footwear products are likely to have lower gross profit margins than LULU's existing core products. In other words, Lululemon's sales mix could be less favorable next year, and this could translate to lower gross margins for the company as a whole.\nThirdly, lock-downs in Vietnam relating to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the company's business operations. Lululemon acknowledged at its Q2 2021 results briefing that the Vietnam production disruption \"is currently impacting approximately 20% of our second half inventory\", with the country accounting for \"30% of our finished goods.\" A September 13, 2021 Seeking Alpha news article quoted research from BTIG which mentioned that there are \"supply risks in the apparel and footwear sector as the negative impact of Vietnam factory closures becomes clearer.\" LULU's current full-year guidance is based onthe assumptionthat Southern Vietnam commences its re-opening process this month, and if that does not happen, Lululemon's financial numbers in the subsequent quarters could potentially come in below expectations.\nIs LULU Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?\nLULU stock is a Hold based on my analysis.\nI fear that Lululemon could suffer from a valuation de-rating, assuming that the company's future quarterly earnings fall short of market expectations as a result of the various factors that I highlighted in the previous section. That said, I do acknowledge that LULU is the market leader in athleisure with significantmarket share, and its medium-term growth prospects are excellent, especially for the international and e-commerce segments. Considering both the positives and negatives associated with the stock, my opinion is that a Hold rating is fair for Lululemon.\nLULU's key risks are actual investments exceeding its original budget, a failure to ramp up sales of its new footwear products next year to achieve economies of scale, and prolonged lock-downs in Vietnam which bring greater-than-expected disruptions for the company.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"LULU":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2112,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":145015095,"gmtCreate":1626183073317,"gmtModify":1631890704907,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser] ","listText":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser] ","text":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/145015095","repostId":"1121575153","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2444,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154445171,"gmtCreate":1625541769993,"gmtModify":1631890704934,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[OMG] ","listText":"[OMG] ","text":"[OMG]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/154445171","repostId":"2149466331","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2022,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":158886187,"gmtCreate":1625143940849,"gmtModify":1631890704934,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser] ","listText":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser] ","text":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/158886187","repostId":"1106223449","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106223449","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625122086,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106223449?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-01 14:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The S&P 500 Notches Its Second-Best First Half Since the Dot-Com Bubble.

Don’t be surprised if the stock market keeps on rising.</p>\n<p>With June coming to an end, the S&P 500 finished the first half of 2021 with a gain of 14.4%. Since 1998, only 2019’s 17.4% first-half surge has been larger.</p>\n<p>The market got a boost from Covid-19 vaccinations, which have helped the U.S. economy reopen, while trillions of dollars of fiscal stimulus have helped shore up demand. The gains continued even as concerns about inflation have increased speculation that the Federal Reserve would be forced to take steps to slow the economy.</p>\n<p>The combination of big gains and a more hawkish Fed have raised concerns that the market has become too complacent. If inflation continues to run hot for long enough, the central bank could be forced to act more quickly than the market expects—and cause stocks to tumble. Others worry that U.S. economic growth could slow faster than investors anticipate, causing a pullback in the process.</p>\n<p>For those who take that view, there is no better time to back away from the stock market than the present. History suggests otherwise.</p>\n<p>Since 1979, the S&P 500 has gained 10% or more 14 times during the first half of the year, and the index has gone on to average a 6.3% gain over the second half of the year. What’s more, the index finished the second half of the year higher In 11 of those instances, or 79% of the time.</p>\n<p>Even the losses, when they occurred, weren’t all that bad. The S&P 500 dropped 1.9% in the second half of 1983 and 3.5% during the last six months of 1986.</p>\n<p>The one exception was the last six months of 1987 when the index fell 19% during the second half of the year. That period included Black Monday, when the S&P 500 dropped 20% in one day, still a record loss. While selling linked to so-called portfolio insurance was ultimately blamed for the size and speed of the loss, the second half of 1987 was a period of rising bond yields and high stock-market valuations, just like the first half of 2021.</p>\n<p>Still, the market has been acting like it wants to go higher, not lower. Pullbacks, a normal event in the midst of bull runs, have been mild in 2021, with the largest drops being less than 4%. “What the [S&P 500] has done throughout 2021 is pick itself up when and where it has needed to, maintaining an uptrend all along,” writes Frank Cappelleri, chief market technician at Instinet.</p>\n<p>That 6.3% average second-half rise would push the S&P 500’s full-year gain to around 23%. That would represent a “textbook [market] recovery” from a recession, says Fundstrat’s Tom Lee.</p>\n<p>For now, at least, the path of least resistance is higher.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cb229b2e05d59b9c126d464a7d771bb\" tg-width=\"958\" tg-height=\"647\"></p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>The S&P 500 Notches Its Second-Best First Half Since the Dot-Com Bubble.

Don’t be surprised if the stock market keeps on rising.\nWith June coming to an end, the S&P 500 finished the first half of 2021 with a gain of 14.4%. Since 1998, only 2019’s 17.4% first-half surge has been larger.\nThe market got a boost from Covid-19 vaccinations, which have helped the U.S. economy reopen, while trillions of dollars of fiscal stimulus have helped shore up demand. The gains continued even as concerns about inflation have increased speculation that the Federal Reserve would be forced to take steps to slow the economy.\nThe combination of big gains and a more hawkish Fed have raised concerns that the market has become too complacent. If inflation continues to run hot for long enough, the central bank could be forced to act more quickly than the market expects—and cause stocks to tumble. Others worry that U.S. economic growth could slow faster than investors anticipate, causing a pullback in the process.\nFor those who take that view, there is no better time to back away from the stock market than the present. History suggests otherwise.\nSince 1979, the S&P 500 has gained 10% or more 14 times during the first half of the year, and the index has gone on to average a 6.3% gain over the second half of the year. What’s more, the index finished the second half of the year higher In 11 of those instances, or 79% of the time.\nEven the losses, when they occurred, weren’t all that bad. The S&P 500 dropped 1.9% in the second half of 1983 and 3.5% during the last six months of 1986.\nThe one exception was the last six months of 1987 when the index fell 19% during the second half of the year. That period included Black Monday, when the S&P 500 dropped 20% in one day, still a record loss. While selling linked to so-called portfolio insurance was ultimately blamed for the size and speed of the loss, the second half of 1987 was a period of rising bond yields and high stock-market valuations, just like the first half of 2021.\nStill, the market has been acting like it wants to go higher, not lower. Pullbacks, a normal event in the midst of bull runs, have been mild in 2021, with the largest drops being less than 4%. “What the [S&P 500] has done throughout 2021 is pick itself up when and where it has needed to, maintaining an uptrend all along,” writes Frank Cappelleri, chief market technician at Instinet.\nThat 6.3% average second-half rise would push the S&P 500’s full-year gain to around 23%. That would represent a “textbook [market] recovery” from a recession, says Fundstrat’s Tom Lee.\nFor now, at least, the path of least resistance is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1179,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124430335,"gmtCreate":1624778070327,"gmtModify":1631890704931,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile] ","listText":"[Smile] ","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/124430335","repostId":"2146090006","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2146090006","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1624755315,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2146090006?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-27 08:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2146090006","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These growth and value stocks are begging to be bought by investors.","content":"<p>When Warren Buffett buys or sells a stock, Wall Street and retail investors tend to pay very close attention.

It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021.

There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.</p>\n<p>Schultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar.

That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.</p>\n<p>At the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021</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\">\n5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-27 08:55 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/26/buffett-stocks-buy-hand-over-fist-second-half-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When Warren Buffett buys or sells a stock, Wall Street and retail investors tend to pay very close attention.

According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9,"BAC":0.9,"BMY":0.9,"BRK.A":0.9,"BRK.B":0.9,"MA":0.9,"TEVA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1820,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124964272,"gmtCreate":1624720784596,"gmtModify":1631890704934,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Miser] ","listText":"[Miser] ","text":"[Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/124964272","repostId":"1116948252","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116948252","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624619800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116948252?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-25 19:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"FuboTV’s Move Into Sports Betting Stokes Investor Attention to ‘Bros’ Cable","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116948252","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"(Update: June 25, 2021 at 10:55 a.m. ET)\n\n FUBO stock is a sports-heavy cable replacement that, for ","content":"<p><i><b>(Update: June 25, 2021 at 10:55 a.m. ET)</b></i></p>\n<blockquote>\n FUBO stock is a sports-heavy cable replacement that, for now, remains independent of larger powers.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Fubo rose about 8% in morning trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84b7197427bcb20e0a913ef882385580\" tg-width=\"708\" tg-height=\"529\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>FuboTV</b> is a bros’ cable replacement service, top-heavy with sports.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64559be90b4944925627c5ad0e941dff\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Lori Butcher/ShutterStock.com</p>\n<p>It’s a cable replacement.

Companies in the industry generate $180 billion in annual revenue worldwide. When compared with other entertainment sectors, that's bigger than the film industry ($100 billion) and the sports industry ($75 billion) combined. While gaming hardware being sold by <b>Sony</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Nintendo </b>makes up a significant percentage of that revenue, the vast majority (roughly $167 billion) is related to software sales.</p><p>There are numerous software companies in this sector, many of them private. Among the highly successful public companies on the software side are names like <b>Activision</b> <b>Blizzard</b>, <b>Electronic Arts</b>, <b>Take-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> Interactive</b>, and <b>Ubisoft</b>.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA\">Two</a> video game-related investments I particularly like are <b>Sea Limited </b>(NYSE:SE) and <b>Unity Software </b>(NYSE:U). Here's why.</p><h2>1. Sea Limited is a platform company</h2><p>When Sea first began, it was a video gaming company called Garena, short for \"Gaming Arena.\" It's a virtual place to play and watch video games across southeast Asia (and now South America as well). The most famous video game the company introduced is <i>Free Fire</i>, a battle royale mobile game. It's a free game, but many addicted customers spend within the game anyway, buying additional weapons or character improvements. That's why Sea's \"free game\" brought in more than $2 billion in revenue in 2020.</p><p>As CEO Forrest Li said on a conference call, \"<i>Free Fire</i> was once again a key driver of Garena's outperformance. According to App Annie, it continues to be the highest-grossing mobile game in Latin America and Southeast Asia in the fourth quarter, as well as the full year of 2020. It has maintained the top ranking for six consecutive quarters.\"</p><p>The popularity of the game continues to astound. As Li put it, \"We're also pleased to share that <i>Free Fire</i> was once again the most downloaded mobile game in the world in 2020, according to App Annie. This is the second year in a row that <i>Free Fire</i> was ranked first globally.\"</p><p>One major difference between Sea and all its competitors is when these companies were founded. Li created Sea in 2009, which is important because it's after the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. Not surprisingly, Sea has always focused on mobile games. The major American (and French) games companies were all started back in the 20th century, and have always focused on creating games for the various hardware platforms. They have been late to the mobile revolution, and have been trying to play catch-up, mostly by acquisition.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><th>Software company</th><th>Year founded</th></tr><tr><td>Activision</td><td>1979</td></tr><tr><td>Entertainment Arts</td><td>1982</td></tr><tr><td>Ubisoft</td><td>1986</td></tr><tr><td>Blizzard</td><td>1991</td></tr><tr><td>Take-Two Interactive</td><td>1993</td></tr><tr><td>Sea Limited</td><td><b>2009</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Founding dates based on reporting from Wikipedia. (Activision and Blizzard merged in 2008.)</p><p>Sea has had a major head start in mobile games, which is its killer advantage. As Motley Fool Rulebreaker fans would say, the company was a first mover in an important, emerging industry. But what's really killing the competition is how Sea took advantage of its head start and locked in its popularity with its mobile audience, using the revenue generated to fund expansion into new revenue opportunities such as opening up an e-commerce site, Shopee, and creating a mobile payments platform, Sea Money. Now the network effect is helping to cement its position as the top internet company in Southeast Asia.</p><h2>2. Unity Software is a distributor, not a developer</h2><p>Unlike Sea and the rest of the software brigade, Unity Software does not develop any video games itself. Instead, Unity provides a suite of advanced software tools to help other companies more efficiently create video games. Unity also provides distribution for smaller studios that create fun games for our smartphones. Unity enjoys a duopoly with competitor Epic Games in that regard.</p><p>While Epic Games is best known publicly for its popular <i>Fortnite </i>game, in the industry Epic is best known for its Unreal engine, the software that competes with Unity in providing tools for game developers. While Unreal is known for its high-end computer graphics, Unity's focus has been on simpler tools that do the same thing. Because of its simplicity, Unity is generally winning on the mobile side. In the fourth quarter, Unity management reported that 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games were made on its platform. That's amazing dominance in mobile, the fastest-growing segment of the gaming industry.</p><p>As a distributor, Unity will make a lot of money in the gaming industry with much less risk than content creators face. Studios can spend millions of dollars introducing a new game and quickly go out of business if the game fails to achieve any popularity. A distributor like Unity makes its profits as the entire industry advances, earning a share of all sales from the games using its platform, whether they succeed or not.</p><p>It's the platform, in other words, that gives Unity its killer advantage. And this platform also has a powerful moat. Software developers are trained on specific tools. For a new threat to Unity to emerge, the technological advance would have to be so amazing that industry veterans would spend the time to \"go back to school\" and learn a whole new system. Right now, most software developers have a favorite between Unity and Epic's Unreal. Some are equally adept with both technologies. But few would be interested in spending months learning a third system unless they really had to do it.</p><p>What makes Unity a particularly exciting investment is that it's the leading software engine in the creation of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) games. While this is a tiny segment of the industry right now, it's expected to be massive in the next decade or two because its applications stretch beyond just gaming.

Companies in the industry generate $180 billion in annual revenue worldwide. When compared with other entertainment sectors, that's bigger than the film industry ($100 billion) and the sports industry ($75 billion) combined. While gaming hardware being sold by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo makes up a significant percentage of that revenue, the vast majority (roughly $167 billion) is related to software sales.There are numerous software companies in this sector, many of them private. Among the highly successful public companies on the software side are names like Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive, and Ubisoft.Two video game-related investments I particularly like are Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) and Unity Software (NYSE:U). Here's why.1. Sea Limited is a platform companyWhen Sea first began, it was a video gaming company called Garena, short for \"Gaming Arena.\" It's a virtual place to play and watch video games across southeast Asia (and now South America as well). The most famous video game the company introduced is Free Fire, a battle royale mobile game. It's a free game, but many addicted customers spend within the game anyway, buying additional weapons or character improvements. That's why Sea's \"free game\" brought in more than $2 billion in revenue in 2020.As CEO Forrest Li said on a conference call, \"Free Fire was once again a key driver of Garena's outperformance. According to App Annie, it continues to be the highest-grossing mobile game in Latin America and Southeast Asia in the fourth quarter, as well as the full year of 2020. It has maintained the top ranking for six consecutive quarters.\"The popularity of the game continues to astound. As Li put it, \"We're also pleased to share that Free Fire was once again the most downloaded mobile game in the world in 2020, according to App Annie. This is the second year in a row that Free Fire was ranked first globally.\"One major difference between Sea and all its competitors is when these companies were founded. Li created Sea in 2009, which is important because it's after the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. Not surprisingly, Sea has always focused on mobile games. The major American (and French) games companies were all started back in the 20th century, and have always focused on creating games for the various hardware platforms. They have been late to the mobile revolution, and have been trying to play catch-up, mostly by acquisition.Software companyYear foundedActivision1979Entertainment Arts1982Ubisoft1986Blizzard1991Take-Two Interactive1993Sea Limited2009Founding dates based on reporting from Wikipedia. (Activision and Blizzard merged in 2008.)Sea has had a major head start in mobile games, which is its killer advantage. As Motley Fool Rulebreaker fans would say, the company was a first mover in an important, emerging industry. But what's really killing the competition is how Sea took advantage of its head start and locked in its popularity with its mobile audience, using the revenue generated to fund expansion into new revenue opportunities such as opening up an e-commerce site, Shopee, and creating a mobile payments platform, Sea Money. Now the network effect is helping to cement its position as the top internet company in Southeast Asia.2. Unity Software is a distributor, not a developerUnlike Sea and the rest of the software brigade, Unity Software does not develop any video games itself. Instead, Unity provides a suite of advanced software tools to help other companies more efficiently create video games. Unity also provides distribution for smaller studios that create fun games for our smartphones. Unity enjoys a duopoly with competitor Epic Games in that regard.While Epic Games is best known publicly for its popular Fortnite game, in the industry Epic is best known for its Unreal engine, the software that competes with Unity in providing tools for game developers. While Unreal is known for its high-end computer graphics, Unity's focus has been on simpler tools that do the same thing. Because of its simplicity, Unity is generally winning on the mobile side. In the fourth quarter, Unity management reported that 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games were made on its platform. That's amazing dominance in mobile, the fastest-growing segment of the gaming industry.As a distributor, Unity will make a lot of money in the gaming industry with much less risk than content creators face. Studios can spend millions of dollars introducing a new game and quickly go out of business if the game fails to achieve any popularity. A distributor like Unity makes its profits as the entire industry advances, earning a share of all sales from the games using its platform, whether they succeed or not.It's the platform, in other words, that gives Unity its killer advantage. And this platform also has a powerful moat. Software developers are trained on specific tools. For a new threat to Unity to emerge, the technological advance would have to be so amazing that industry veterans would spend the time to \"go back to school\" and learn a whole new system. Right now, most software developers have a favorite between Unity and Epic's Unreal. Some are equally adept with both technologies. But few would be interested in spending months learning a third system unless they really had to do it.What makes Unity a particularly exciting investment is that it's the leading software engine in the creation of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) games. While this is a tiny segment of the industry right now, it's expected to be massive in the next decade or two because its applications stretch beyond just gaming. For instance, Autodesk is now using Unity's tools in the architecture vertical, and Volkswagen used Unity's software to build an online showroom for its automobiles.Investor takeawayWhile there will be many winners in the gaming industry, Sea Limited and Unity are particularly strong investments because these companies enjoy powerful network effects. Indeed, both of these companies are so strong right now that they are using their leadership roles in gaming software in order to seize market share in other industries as well. That will help these stocks reward investors for many years to come.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"SE":0.9,"U":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1671,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106434629,"gmtCreate":1620138444161,"gmtModify":1631890704945,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hold ur horses ","listText":"Hold ur horses ","text":"Hold ur horses","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/106434629","repostId":"1150215705","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150215705","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":1620135133,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150215705?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-04 21:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks decline after a solid start to May, tech shares lead losses","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150215705","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(May 4) The major averages fell on Tuesday, following a strong start to May, with technology stocks ","content":"<p>(May 4) The major averages fell on Tuesday, following a strong start to May, with technology stocks experiencing the biggest selling pressure.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 90 points.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.</p>\n<p>Although Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1077c8372814d2b8150e933b4c608005\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Even though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.</p>\n<p>But it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b18b49b2b35da2fc49e0a83b883d1c22\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY).</p>\n<p>One reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with <b>Pfizer</b>, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.</p>\n<p>Another reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b152e369d7c967dcbc926192ee888c1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.</p>\n<p>Mastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.</p>\n<p>Investors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>While there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.</p>\n<p>Schultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44a30c4dfd6886a29e22d3c6558c3e56\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bank of America</h2>\n<p>Lastly, bank stock <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.</p>\n<p>For much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.</p>\n<p>At the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021</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\">\n5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-27 08:55 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/26/buffett-stocks-buy-hand-over-fist-second-half-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When Warren Buffett buys or sells a stock, Wall Street and retail investors tend to pay very close attention.

As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nAmazon\nEven though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.\nAs most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.\nBut it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBristol Myers Squibb\nPharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY).\nOne reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with Pfizer, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.\nAnother reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nEveryone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.\nMastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.\nInvestors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nIf you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.\nWhile there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.\nSchultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nLastly, bank stock Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.\nFor much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9,"BAC":0.9,"BMY":0.9,"BRK.A":0.9,"BRK.B":0.9,"MA":0.9,"TEVA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1820,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":180931957,"gmtCreate":1623167743079,"gmtModify":1631890704941,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Promising stock to hold","listText":"Promising stock to hold","text":"Promising stock to hold","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/180931957","repostId":"1133174841","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1920,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":158886187,"gmtCreate":1625143940849,"gmtModify":1631890704934,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser] ","listText":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser] ","text":"[Miser] [Miser] [Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/158886187","repostId":"1106223449","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106223449","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625122086,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106223449?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-01 14:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The S&P 500 Notches Its Second-Best First Half Since the Dot-Com Bubble.

This public debut will be a historic moment for the crypto industry and its early proponents.</p>\n<p>The listing will also come just months after the total market value of all <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) in circulation crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time. <b>Ethereum </b>(CRYPTO:ETH), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, is also trading around record highs.</p>\n<p>Obviously, Coinbase is betting that rising demand for cryptocurrencies will make its public offering and its business model a success. Certainly, it's listing at just the right time. But for more conservative investors, Coinbase looks like a very risky bet.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de4e309a22a978f8524b579aba016cb8\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<h2>An overreliance on trading to drive profits</h2>\n<p>Coinbase stands out among other recent hypergrowth IPOs like <b>Roblox</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b> because it's already in the black. The tech company booked a net profit of $322 million in 2020, against a net loss of $30 million in 2019. Revenue surged by 139%, and operating leverage kicked in -- Coinbase grew revenue faster than its costs, which resulted in expanding margins and an improving bottom line.</p>\n<p>That's all fine and dandy, save for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> huge caveat. Coinbase generated 86% of its revenue last year from transaction fees -- mainly from cryptocurrency trading. And in 2020, trading volume shot up 142% year over year, producing a 137% rise in transaction fees. But investors should note that 2020 was a particularly great year for cryptocurrencies, during which Bitcoin's price rose fourfold from $7,184 per token to $28,972 per token.</p>\n<p>In other words, booming cryptocurrency prices can boost Coinbase's trading volumes. But the opposite also holds. In 2018, cryptocurrencies crashed -- and Bitcoin prices fell 72% from $13,850 to $3,747. That year, Coinbase's trading volume slid by more than 80%. Over the same period, the number of users making transactions on Coinbase every month fell by 67%.</p>\n<p>In sum, Coinbase's revenue is linked to cryptocurrency trading volume. Should trading activity drop in a big way, Coinbase could wind up back in the red. Though traditional exchanges like <b>CME Group</b> and <b>Intercontinental Exchange</b> are not immune to the volatility of trading activity, the latter two are way more diversified in terms of services and product offerings -- which minimizes the volatility that any single product can cause to the overall financials.</p>\n<h2>Priced for perfection</h2>\n<p>When it comes to Coinbase, there's much to get excited about. It has won the trust of retail and institutional investors alike, who have parked 12% of all cryptocurrency assets on its platform.</p>\n<p>As a leading player in its industry, Coinbase is in a sweet spot. The cryptocurrency economy has explosive growth potential, and if that potential becomes reality, the company can ride the wave while expanding its share of the market.</p>\n<p>But for investors, the chance to profit from these huge potential opportunities won't come cheap. Coinbase's direct listing could value it at $100 billion, or 77 times sales. This isn't too alarming. Recent cloud computing IPO Snowflake now trades at over 100 times sales. But it's still excessive by any measure. For perspective, <b>Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited</b> -- operator of the world's third-biggest stock market -- is valued at $76 billion.</p>\n<p>Investors might try to justify Coinbase's valuation by bringing up its impressive historical growth rates, as well as its exciting prospects. But if it fails to meet its rosy expectations, its valuation could easily collapse.

This public debut will be a historic moment for the crypto industry and its early proponents.\nThe listing will also come just months after the total market value of all Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) in circulation crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time. Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, is also trading around record highs.\nObviously, Coinbase is betting that rising demand for cryptocurrencies will make its public offering and its business model a success. Certainly, it's listing at just the right time. But for more conservative investors, Coinbase looks like a very risky bet.\nImage source: Getty Images\nAn overreliance on trading to drive profits\nCoinbase stands out among other recent hypergrowth IPOs like Roblox and Snowflake because it's already in the black. The tech company booked a net profit of $322 million in 2020, against a net loss of $30 million in 2019. Revenue surged by 139%, and operating leverage kicked in -- Coinbase grew revenue faster than its costs, which resulted in expanding margins and an improving bottom line.\nThat's all fine and dandy, save for one huge caveat. Coinbase generated 86% of its revenue last year from transaction fees -- mainly from cryptocurrency trading. And in 2020, trading volume shot up 142% year over year, producing a 137% rise in transaction fees. But investors should note that 2020 was a particularly great year for cryptocurrencies, during which Bitcoin's price rose fourfold from $7,184 per token to $28,972 per token.\nIn other words, booming cryptocurrency prices can boost Coinbase's trading volumes. But the opposite also holds. In 2018, cryptocurrencies crashed -- and Bitcoin prices fell 72% from $13,850 to $3,747. That year, Coinbase's trading volume slid by more than 80%. Over the same period, the number of users making transactions on Coinbase every month fell by 67%.\nIn sum, Coinbase's revenue is linked to cryptocurrency trading volume. Should trading activity drop in a big way, Coinbase could wind up back in the red. Though traditional exchanges like CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange are not immune to the volatility of trading activity, the latter two are way more diversified in terms of services and product offerings -- which minimizes the volatility that any single product can cause to the overall financials.\nPriced for perfection\nWhen it comes to Coinbase, there's much to get excited about. It has won the trust of retail and institutional investors alike, who have parked 12% of all cryptocurrency assets on its platform.\nAs a leading player in its industry, Coinbase is in a sweet spot. The cryptocurrency economy has explosive growth potential, and if that potential becomes reality, the company can ride the wave while expanding its share of the market.\nBut for investors, the chance to profit from these huge potential opportunities won't come cheap. Coinbase's direct listing could value it at $100 billion, or 77 times sales. This isn't too alarming. Recent cloud computing IPO Snowflake now trades at over 100 times sales. But it's still excessive by any measure. For perspective, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited -- operator of the world's third-biggest stock market -- is valued at $76 billion.\nInvestors might try to justify Coinbase's valuation by bringing up its impressive historical growth rates, as well as its exciting prospects. But if it fails to meet its rosy expectations, its valuation could easily collapse. Coinbase may also be dragged along in a tech stock crash -- corrections tend to hit pricey names the hardest.\nShould investors buy the Coinbase IPO?\nIn the long run, Coinbase looks poised to grow along with the crypto economy. But buying in at such a steep valuation carries obvious risks. Most investors would be well-advised to stay on the sidelines, watch how Coinbase performs, and -- if they are interested -- await a more attractive entry point.\nIf you're willing to take the risk of buying Coinbase the day it begins trading, it would be better to initiate with a small position, and add to it over time.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"COIN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":224,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154445171,"gmtCreate":1625541769993,"gmtModify":1631890704934,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[OMG] ","listText":"[OMG] ","text":"[OMG]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/154445171","repostId":"2149466331","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2022,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108469654,"gmtCreate":1620049645078,"gmtModify":1631890704943,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like thank you!","listText":"Please like thank you!","text":"Please like thank you!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/108469654","repostId":"1165463758","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":363,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371844293,"gmtCreate":1618928638212,"gmtModify":1634289819588,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please help to like!","listText":"Please help to like!","text":"Please help to like!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371844293","repostId":"1186349790","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":354,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345519417,"gmtCreate":1618323190139,"gmtModify":1634293714923,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes!","listText":"Yes!","text":"Yes!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/345519417","repostId":"1156590233","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156590233","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618309498,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156590233?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-13 18:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks That'll Help You Crush Inflation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156590233","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"After more than a year, arguably the stock market's most persistent concern has returned: inflation.","content":"<p>After more than a year, arguably the stock market's most persistent concern has returned: inflation.</p><p>Inflation describes the rising price of goods and services over time. A healthy economy is always going to have some degree of inflation, with consumer demand playing a role in driving prices higher.

The non-dividend-paying stocks? They returned a paltry annual average of 1.6% over the same time. Over 40 years, we're talking about a roughly 19-fold aggregate outperformance.</p><p>Ideally, income seekers want the biggest dividend possible with the least amount of risk imaginable.

Since yield is a function of payout relative to price, a company with a struggling or failing operating model could give the impression of a killer yield but ultimately trap unsuspecting income seekers.</p><h3>This high-yield trio will help investors trounce inflation</h3><p>But not all high-yield dividend stocks are created equally. The following three high-yield companies offer investors the ability to crush inflation over the long run, as well as grow their initial investment the traditional way.</p><h3>Duke Energy: 4% yield</h3><p>One of the safest ways to run circles around inflation over the long run is to buy into brand-name utility stocks. You're never going to get jaw-dropping growth with utilities, but you'll struggle to find a sector with more predictable or transparent cash flow. That's whyelectric utility stock<b>Duke Energy</b>(NYSE: DUK)can be a winner.</p><p>Duke, the second-largest utility stock by market cap in the U.S., behind only<b>NextEra Energy</b>, is following its peers' strategy and investing aggressively in green energy infrastructure. Between 2020 and 2024, it's planning to spend $60 billion on new infrastructure, nearly all of which will focus on renewable energy solutions such as wind and solar. By 2025, the company's five-year plan entailsspending $65 billion to $75 billionon renewable projects.</p><p>Although these aren't cheap investments, it's the perfect time for Duke Energy to be aggressive. Lending rates are just a stone's throw from historic lows, and the benefit of cheaper electric generation rates should allow its earnings per share to grow by as much as 7% annually. For some context here, most electric utilities grow profits annually by a low single-digit percentage.</p><p>To boot, Duke Energy's traditional utility operations (i.e., those not utilizing solar or some other renewable source) are regulated. This is a fancy way of saying that state public utility commissions regulate rate hikes. Though it's not able to pass along price increases at will, Dukeavoids potentially wild swings in wholesale pricingby having its traditional utilities regulated.</p><h3>AGNC Investment: 8.4% yield</h3><p>If you want the opportunity to earn a sustainable, monster yield that'll crush inflation, mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT)<b>AGNC Investment</b>(NASDAQ: AGNC)could be just the stock for you. You'll note that its 8.4% yield is more than four times the current trailing 12-month inflation rate of 1.7%.</p><p>Without getting into the minutiae, mortgage REITs like AGNC seek to borrow at lower short-term rates and purchase assets (mortgage-backed securities, or MBSs) with higher long-term yields. The difference between these higher long-term yields and the lower short-term borrowing rate is known as net interest margin (NIM). The wider the NIM, or the more leverage (safely) used, the more profit AGNC Investment can make.</p><p>The thing investors should realize is thatwe're in the sweet spot for mortgage REIT growth. During the early stages of an economic recovery, the yield curve usually steepens. This means long-term yields rise while short-term yields flatten out or rise at a slower pace. This disparity usually allows AGNC to purchase MBSs with higher yields while being able to borrow at a low rate. In short,AGNC's NIM heads higher.</p><p>Best of all, AGNC's portfolio isalmost exclusively packed with agency securities. This is a fancy way of saying that its MBSs are protected by the federal government in the event of a default. Though this added protection means agency securities have lower yields than non-agency assets, it also allows AGNC to safely use leverage to its advantage.</p><h3>AT&T: 6.9% yield</h3><p>A third high-yield dividend stock that'll help investors triumph over inflation is telecom giant<b>AT&T</b>(NYSE: T). With reinvestment, the 6.9% yield it's currently paying can double your money in about a decade, assuming a static share price.</p><p>Though its growth heyday is now in the past, AT&T hasa number of catalyststhat should reignite its organic growth rate and generate plenty of cash flow. For example, AT&T is a key beneficiary of 5G wireless infrastructure upgrades. It's been a decade since wireless download speeds were upgraded in a meaningful way. This suggests the company will benefit immensely from a multiyear technology upgrade cycle. Since AT&T generates a significant chunk of its wireless profit from data consumption, access to 5G is a recipe for margin expansion.</p><p>Additionally, AT&T's big push into streaming content should provide a jolt to its top and bottom lines. Following a subdued launch of HBO Max in late May, the company announced that itended 2020 with 17.2 million subscribers. Further, it expects 120 million to 150 million subscribers by 2025. If AT&T is indeed successful in courting new streaming users, it should more than offset the weakness tied to cord-cutting.</p><p>AT&T has also made strides to reduce its debt load and ensure the stability of itssuperior dividend. It's selling a minority stake in subsidiary DirecTV, has halted its share buyback program, and is looking to sell other noncore assets to lower its debt liabilities. CEO John Stankey has noted that a dividend cut isn't necessary to facilitate growth at AT&T.</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>3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks That'll Help You Crush Inflation</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\">\n3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks That'll Help You Crush Inflation\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-13 18:24 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-high-yield-dividend-stocks-thatll-help-you-crush-inflation-2021-04-13><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After more than a year, arguably the stock market's most persistent concern has returned: inflation.Inflation describes the rising price of goods and services over time.

Lending rates are just a stone's throw from historic lows, and the benefit of cheaper electric generation rates should allow its earnings per share to grow by as much as 7% annually. For some context here, most electric utilities grow profits annually by a low single-digit percentage.To boot, Duke Energy's traditional utility operations (i.e., those not utilizing solar or some other renewable source) are regulated. This is a fancy way of saying that state public utility commissions regulate rate hikes. Though it's not able to pass along price increases at will, Dukeavoids potentially wild swings in wholesale pricingby having its traditional utilities regulated.AGNC Investment: 8.4% yieldIf you want the opportunity to earn a sustainable, monster yield that'll crush inflation, mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT)AGNC Investment(NASDAQ: AGNC)could be just the stock for you. You'll note that its 8.4% yield is more than four times the current trailing 12-month inflation rate of 1.7%.Without getting into the minutiae, mortgage REITs like AGNC seek to borrow at lower short-term rates and purchase assets (mortgage-backed securities, or MBSs) with higher long-term yields. The difference between these higher long-term yields and the lower short-term borrowing rate is known as net interest margin (NIM). The wider the NIM, or the more leverage (safely) used, the more profit AGNC Investment can make.The thing investors should realize is thatwe're in the sweet spot for mortgage REIT growth. During the early stages of an economic recovery, the yield curve usually steepens. This means long-term yields rise while short-term yields flatten out or rise at a slower pace. This disparity usually allows AGNC to purchase MBSs with higher yields while being able to borrow at a low rate. In short,AGNC's NIM heads higher.Best of all, AGNC's portfolio isalmost exclusively packed with agency securities. This is a fancy way of saying that its MBSs are protected by the federal government in the event of a default. Though this added protection means agency securities have lower yields than non-agency assets, it also allows AGNC to safely use leverage to its advantage.AT&T: 6.9% yieldA third high-yield dividend stock that'll help investors triumph over inflation is telecom giantAT&T(NYSE: T). With reinvestment, the 6.9% yield it's currently paying can double your money in about a decade, assuming a static share price.Though its growth heyday is now in the past, AT&T hasa number of catalyststhat should reignite its organic growth rate and generate plenty of cash flow. For example, AT&T is a key beneficiary of 5G wireless infrastructure upgrades. It's been a decade since wireless download speeds were upgraded in a meaningful way. This suggests the company will benefit immensely from a multiyear technology upgrade cycle. Since AT&T generates a significant chunk of its wireless profit from data consumption, access to 5G is a recipe for margin expansion.Additionally, AT&T's big push into streaming content should provide a jolt to its top and bottom lines. Following a subdued launch of HBO Max in late May, the company announced that itended 2020 with 17.2 million subscribers. Further, it expects 120 million to 150 million subscribers by 2025. If AT&T is indeed successful in courting new streaming users, it should more than offset the weakness tied to cord-cutting.AT&T has also made strides to reduce its debt load and ensure the stability of itssuperior dividend. It's selling a minority stake in subsidiary DirecTV, has halted its share buyback program, and is looking to sell other noncore assets to lower its debt liabilities. CEO John Stankey has noted that a dividend cut isn't necessary to facilitate growth at AT&T.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"DUK":0.9,"REIT":0.9,"T":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348124129,"gmtCreate":1617895511861,"gmtModify":1634295876604,"author":{"id":"3577251918188197","authorId":"3577251918188197","name":"Joycelinsng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa80264c581342ecd56fa828ec7fcd0f","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577251918188197","authorIdStr":"3577251918188197"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Its dangerous buying meme stocks","listText":"Its dangerous buying meme stocks","text":"Its dangerous buying meme stocks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/348124129","repostId":"1147253336","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147253336","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617884605,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147253336?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-08 20:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Popular Meme Stocks That Aren’t Worth the Hype","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147253336","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These companies cannot justify the sharp increase in their share price.

Of course, many people have lost money as these meme stocks skyrocket and then crash and burn in quick succession.</p>\n<p>Here are four of the most popular meme stocks that aren’t worth the hype.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>BlackBerry</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Zomedica</b>(NYSEAMERICAN:<b><u>ZOM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Koss</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>KOSS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Churchill Capital IV</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCIV</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Meme Stocks to Avoid: BlackBerry (BB)</b></p>\n<p>It’s been nearly 15 years since BlackBerry was a significant technology company.</p>\n<p>The once-dominant Canadian smartphone manufacturer was knocked off its perch when <b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>APPL</u></b>) debuted the iPhone back in 2007.</p>\n<p>As a glut of other competitors entered the market, BlackBerry was forced to abandon smartphones altogether, although it still licenses its name to a small percentage of phones manufactured and sold in Asia.</p>\n<p>Today, BlackBerry has reinvented itself as an enterprise software and the Internet of Things (IoT) company. BlackBerry focuses much of its resources these days on making software for self-driving vehicles.</p>\n<p>However, the reinvention has only been mildly successful. BlackBerry continues to struggle in markets outside its native Canada and the company’s financial results continue to underwhelm investors. At the end of March, BlackBerry reported a$315-million lossfor its fiscal fourth quarter. Revenue for the quarter came in at $210 million, down from $282 million the previous year.</p>\n<p>BB stock has been a disappointment too, barely moving over the past year. However, the stock spiked 237% in January when it briefly became one of the meme stocks and targeted by r/WallStreetBets. The jump was short lived, of course, and today the stock is back down to $8.60 a share, about the same level it was at toward the end of 2020.</p>\n<p>Still, January’s sharp move higher prompted several BlackBerry executives to sell their stock in the company. Other shareholders should do the same.</p>\n<p><b>Zomedica (ZOM)</b></p>\n<p>There’s no question that people love their pets, and that love seems to have only grown stronger during the pandemic as people stayed home with their cats and dogs.</p>\n<p>Just because people love their pets doesn’t mean they should gamble on animal healthcare company Zomedica. In many ways Zomedica is a classic meme stock, the type of unproven, completely speculative bet the WallStreetBets crowd loves to champion and push higher.</p>\n<p>This accounts for why ZOM stock gained 731% between Jan. 4 and Feb. 8 of this year, rising from just $0.35 to a peak of $2.91.</p>\n<p>Make no mistake, there was nothing to justify the move upwards in ZOM stock other than irrational exuberance.</p>\n<p>Consider that Zomedica didn’t earn any revenue in 2020. Zilch. On top of that, Zomedica posted a net loss of nearly $17 million for last year.</p>\n<p>The company has all of its eggs placed in its“Truforma” platform, an animal diagnostic tool that it hopes to sell to veterinarians across the U.S.</p>\n<p>While Zomedica forecasts that the animal diagnostics market could be worth $5.4 billion by 2026, there’s no indication that it will get a large share of that market.</p>\n<p>ZOM stock is currently trading at $1.46 a share, down 50% from its February high. Buyer beware!</p>\n<p><b>Meme Stocks to Avoid: Koss (KOSS)</b></p>\n<p>Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based Koss, which designs and manufactures headphones, has had a wilder ride than most meme stocks this year.</p>\n<p>On Jan. 15, KOSS stock closed the trading day at $2.90 a share. On the 29, the stock finished trading at $64. That’s an increase of 2,107% in a two week span. At one point, the stock hit an intra-day high of $127.45 per share.</p>\n<p>By late February, Koss’ share price had crashed down to $11.90 and today the stock is worth $23.20 a share. The gigantic price moves have gotten Koss labelled as a prototypical meme stock, with critics saying that it has been pumped and dumped several times by the Reddit mob.</p>\n<p>There hasn’t been much to push KOSS stock higher beyond it being targeted on social media. Koss is a completely average company.</p>\n<p>While its headphones are functional and garner generally favourable reviews, the company struggles to compete in the space against titans such as Apple and <b>Sony</b> (NYSE:<b><u>SONY</u></b>),and Koss is far from being a household name: Beats by Dre they ain’t.</p>\n<p>In fact, Koss has been in business since 1958 and even filed for bankruptcy back in 1984. The company has always struggled to maintain market share. It has consistently been a penny stock since the mid-1980s, and there’s no reason to believe that it can maintain its current lofty valuation over the long-term.</p>\n<p><b>Churchill Capital IV (CCIV)</b></p>\n<p>Among special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC), Churchill Capital IV stands out for all the wrong reasons.</p>\n<p>Before the shell company announced the target it planned to merge with and bring public, CCIV stock rose 547% based solely on wild speculation. After cresting at a high of $64.86 on Feb. 18, the stock has come down 63% and is now stuck under $25.</p>\n<p>Ironically, the share price crashed after Churchill Capital announced on Feb. 22 that it would merge with electric vehicle maker Lucid Motors, a company that many analysts views as viable competitor to market leader <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>).</p>\n<p>The same investors who were keen to pump up CCIV stock seemed equally eager to sell once the Lucid Motors deal was formally announced.

When compared with other entertainment sectors, that's bigger than the film industry ($100 billion) and the sports industry ($75 billion) combined. While gaming hardware being sold by <b>Sony</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Nintendo </b>makes up a significant percentage of that revenue, the vast majority (roughly $167 billion) is related to software sales.</p><p>There are numerous software companies in this sector, many of them private. Among the highly successful public companies on the software side are names like <b>Activision</b> <b>Blizzard</b>, <b>Electronic Arts</b>, <b>Take-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> Interactive</b>, and <b>Ubisoft</b>.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA\">Two</a> video game-related investments I particularly like are <b>Sea Limited </b>(NYSE:SE) and <b>Unity Software </b>(NYSE:U). Here's why.</p><h2>1. Sea Limited is a platform company</h2><p>When Sea first began, it was a video gaming company called Garena, short for \"Gaming Arena.\" It's a virtual place to play and watch video games across southeast Asia (and now South America as well). The most famous video game the company introduced is <i>Free Fire</i>, a battle royale mobile game. It's a free game, but many addicted customers spend within the game anyway, buying additional weapons or character improvements. That's why Sea's \"free game\" brought in more than $2 billion in revenue in 2020.</p><p>As CEO Forrest Li said on a conference call, \"<i>Free Fire</i> was once again a key driver of Garena's outperformance. According to App Annie, it continues to be the highest-grossing mobile game in Latin America and Southeast Asia in the fourth quarter, as well as the full year of 2020. It has maintained the top ranking for six consecutive quarters.\"</p><p>The popularity of the game continues to astound. As Li put it, \"We're also pleased to share that <i>Free Fire</i> was once again the most downloaded mobile game in the world in 2020, according to App Annie. This is the second year in a row that <i>Free Fire</i> was ranked first globally.\"</p><p>One major difference between Sea and all its competitors is when these companies were founded. Li created Sea in 2009, which is important because it's after the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. Not surprisingly, Sea has always focused on mobile games. The major American (and French) games companies were all started back in the 20th century, and have always focused on creating games for the various hardware platforms. They have been late to the mobile revolution, and have been trying to play catch-up, mostly by acquisition.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><th>Software company</th><th>Year founded</th></tr><tr><td>Activision</td><td>1979</td></tr><tr><td>Entertainment Arts</td><td>1982</td></tr><tr><td>Ubisoft</td><td>1986</td></tr><tr><td>Blizzard</td><td>1991</td></tr><tr><td>Take-Two Interactive</td><td>1993</td></tr><tr><td>Sea Limited</td><td><b>2009</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Founding dates based on reporting from Wikipedia. (Activision and Blizzard merged in 2008.)</p><p>Sea has had a major head start in mobile games, which is its killer advantage. As Motley Fool Rulebreaker fans would say, the company was a first mover in an important, emerging industry. But what's really killing the competition is how Sea took advantage of its head start and locked in its popularity with its mobile audience, using the revenue generated to fund expansion into new revenue opportunities such as opening up an e-commerce site, Shopee, and creating a mobile payments platform, Sea Money. Now the network effect is helping to cement its position as the top internet company in Southeast Asia.</p><h2>2. Unity Software is a distributor, not a developer</h2><p>Unlike Sea and the rest of the software brigade, Unity Software does not develop any video games itself. Instead, Unity provides a suite of advanced software tools to help other companies more efficiently create video games. Unity also provides distribution for smaller studios that create fun games for our smartphones. Unity enjoys a duopoly with competitor Epic Games in that regard.</p><p>While Epic Games is best known publicly for its popular <i>Fortnite </i>game, in the industry Epic is best known for its Unreal engine, the software that competes with Unity in providing tools for game developers. While Unreal is known for its high-end computer graphics, Unity's focus has been on simpler tools that do the same thing. Because of its simplicity, Unity is generally winning on the mobile side. In the fourth quarter, Unity management reported that 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games were made on its platform. That's amazing dominance in mobile, the fastest-growing segment of the gaming industry.</p><p>As a distributor, Unity will make a lot of money in the gaming industry with much less risk than content creators face. Studios can spend millions of dollars introducing a new game and quickly go out of business if the game fails to achieve any popularity. A distributor like Unity makes its profits as the entire industry advances, earning a share of all sales from the games using its platform, whether they succeed or not.</p><p>It's the platform, in other words, that gives Unity its killer advantage. And this platform also has a powerful moat. Software developers are trained on specific tools. For a new threat to Unity to emerge, the technological advance would have to be so amazing that industry veterans would spend the time to \"go back to school\" and learn a whole new system. Right now, most software developers have a favorite between Unity and Epic's Unreal. Some are equally adept with both technologies. But few would be interested in spending months learning a third system unless they really had to do it.</p><p>What makes Unity a particularly exciting investment is that it's the leading software engine in the creation of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) games. While this is a tiny segment of the industry right now, it's expected to be massive in the next decade or two because its applications stretch beyond just gaming. For instance, <b>Autodesk</b> is now using Unity's tools in the architecture vertical, and <b>Volkswagen</b> used Unity's software to build an online showroom for its automobiles.</p><h2>Investor takeaway</h2><p>While there will be many winners in the gaming industry, Sea Limited and Unity are particularly strong investments because these companies enjoy powerful network effects. Indeed, both of these companies are so strong right now that they are using their leadership roles in gaming software in order to seize market share in other industries as well. That will help these stocks reward investors for many years to come.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>2 Gaming Stocks That Have a Killer Advantage</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\">\n2 Gaming Stocks That Have a Killer Advantage\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-05 20:45 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/05/2-gaming-stocks-that-have-a-killer-advantage/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The video gaming industry is probably bigger than you think it is.

Larger-than-expected investments in the near future, an unfavorable sales mix with the introduction of new footwear products next year, and potential supply chain disruptions could be a potential drag on LULU's forward earnings.</p>\n<p>My rating for Lululemon is a Hold or Neutral. On one hand, I am positive on LULU's better-than-expected Q2 results and its long-term growth prospects. On the flip side, LULU's premium valuations and recent share price run have priced in the near-term positives for the company, while there are downside risks relating to its future earnings outlook.</p>\n<p><b>Company Description</b></p>\n<p>In its press releases, Lululemon Athletica Inc refers to itself as \"a healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training, and most other sweaty pursuits\". LULU was established in 1998, and the company's shares were listed on the Nasdaq in 2007.</p>\n<p>As of August 1, 2021, Lululemon boasted a network of 534 storesthat are located in 17 different markets. LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"</p>\n<p><b>Lululemon Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Lululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.</p>\n<p>LULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.</p>\n<p>At its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\".

LULU does boast superior revenue growth prospects as compared to all of its peers, while its forecasted ROEs are higher than the majority of its peers as well. As such, Lululemon does deserve to trade at higher P/E multiples than that of its peers, but the stock's lofty valuations are not very attractive on an absolute basis if one wants to consider it as an investment candidate.</p>\n<p><b>LULU Stock Earnings</b></p>\n<p>LULU reported its Q2 2021 earnings on September 8, 2021 after trading hours, and the company's stock price jumped by +11% the next day, from $380.85 to $420.71. It is clear that the market is very satisfied with Lululemon's recent quarterly financial performance.</p>\n<p>LULU's top line expanded by +61% YoY from $903 million in Q2 2020 to $1,451 million in Q2 2021, while its non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share increased by +123% YoY from $0.74 to$1.65over the same period. Notably, Lululemon's revenue and earnings per share were+9% and +39% higher than the market consensus' forecasts, respectively based on S&P Capital IQ data. As I highlighted in the preceding section with reference to the management's comments, athleisure continues to see strong demand, and Lululemon is a key beneficiary as the leading brand in this segment, which explains the company's good quarterly financial results.</p>\n<p>Specifically, the excellent performance of Lululemon's international and e-commerce businesses in the recent quarter is noteworthy. LULU's revenue from international markets grew by +49% YoY in Q2 2021, and this was equivalent to a two-year CAGR of +43%.

This translates to a two-year e-commerce sales CAGR of approximately +66%. Lululemonrevealedthat it is implementing new initiatives to further drive the growth of its e-commerce business, which includes \"expanding our alternative payment methods, improved storytelling, more predictive search and a more seamless checkout.\"</p>\n<p>Moving ahead, Lululemon is guiding for $6.19-$6.26 billion in revenue and $7.38-$7.48 in earnings per share for full-year fiscal 2021.

The company guided at its recent results call for FY 2021 SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative) \"deleverage of 10 to 30 basis points versus 2020\" and an increase in capital expenditures this year. LULU attributed this to \"our investment in MIRROR (highlighted in \"Company Description\" section) brand building\", \"MIRROR shop-in-shops\" and \"increased investment in our supply chain, digital capabilities, new store openings and renovations.\" It is not unusual for actual investments to turn out to be greater than what companies budget for.</p>\n<p>Secondly, LULU's introduction of footwear products in 2022 could be negative for the company's overall gross profit margin. At its 1Q 2021 earnings call in June 2021, Lululemon mentioned that \"we are bringing footwear next year.\" As a new product line which will begin with relatively lower volume, footwear products are likely to have lower gross profit margins than LULU's existing core products. In other words, Lululemon's sales mix could be less favorable next year, and this could translate to lower gross margins for the company as a whole.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, lock-downs in Vietnam relating to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the company's business operations. Lululemon acknowledged at its Q2 2021 results briefing that the Vietnam production disruption \"is currently impacting approximately 20% of our second half inventory\", with the country accounting for \"30% of our finished goods.\" A September 13, 2021 <i>Seeking Alpha</i> news article quoted research from <i>BTIG</i> which mentioned that there are \"supply risks in the apparel and footwear sector as the negative impact of Vietnam factory closures becomes clearer.\" LULU's current full-year guidance is based onthe assumptionthat Southern Vietnam commences its re-opening process this month, and if that does not happen, Lululemon's financial numbers in the subsequent quarters could potentially come in below expectations.</p>\n<p><b>Is LULU Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</b></p>\n<p>LULU stock is a Hold based on my analysis.</p>\n<p>I fear that Lululemon could suffer from a valuation de-rating, assuming that the company's future quarterly earnings fall short of market expectations as a result of the various factors that I highlighted in the previous section.

Larger-than-expected investments in the near future, an unfavorable sales mix with the introduction of new footwear products next year, and potential supply chain disruptions could be a potential drag on LULU's forward earnings.\nMy rating for Lululemon is a Hold or Neutral. On one hand, I am positive on LULU's better-than-expected Q2 results and its long-term growth prospects. On the flip side, LULU's premium valuations and recent share price run have priced in the near-term positives for the company, while there are downside risks relating to its future earnings outlook.\nCompany Description\nIn its press releases, Lululemon Athletica Inc refers to itself as \"a healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training, and most other sweaty pursuits\". LULU was established in 1998, and the company's shares were listed on the Nasdaq in 2007.\nAs of August 1, 2021, Lululemon boasted a network of 534 storesthat are located in 17 different markets. LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"\nLululemon Stock Price\nLululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.\nLULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.\nAt its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\". The company also emphasized that its \"brand is early innings across product with activities where we focus on\" and \"gaining market share across categories\".\nSeparately, it is critical to examine if whether Lululemon's recent share price outperformance makes it less attractive as a potential investment candidate in terms of valuations.\nPeer Valuation Comparison For LULU\n\n\n\nStock\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year ROE Metric\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year ROE Metric\n\n\nLululemon\n56.0\n47.1\n+41.6%\n+15.0%\n33.4%\n34.8%\n\n\nCanada Goose Holdings Inc.

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): The Strongest Airline</b></p>\n<p>The strongest airline going into the pandemic was <b>Southwest Airlines</b> (NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>). It’s also the strongest one 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 calling back pilots 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 <b>Boeing</b> (NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>) 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.</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 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.</p>\n<p><b>Is Airbnb (ABNB) the New King of Travel?</b></p>\n<p>Before the pandemic,<b>Booking Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>BKNG</u></b>), 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.</p>\n<p>Airbnb 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.</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 one-third 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 version of Airbnb and <b>Expedia</b> (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 growth catalyst, is a copy of something Tripadvisor has been doing 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 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+.</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 22% hit Disney suffered in 2020.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, 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.</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 <i>Tipranks,</i>17 say it’s a buy.<b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>) 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.</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 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.”</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 remain about 20% below 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 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.</p>\n<p>Despite 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.</p>\n<p>Once Delta has positive free cash flow again,<i>InvestorPlace’s</i> Mark Hake expects the stock to take off. Most analysts don’t, however. Now, only about half the analysts tracked by <i>Tipranks</i> call it a buy, with an average price target of $56.50.</p>\n<p>All 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.</p>\n<p>All 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.</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 <b>Amazon</b> (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 new program 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 revenue of $1.56 billion. Essentially, they want a mulligan for the past year.</p>\n<p>But 2020 <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 benefitting from speculation.</p>\n<p>While 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.</p>\n<p>The airline should survive, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Analysts expect a first-quarter loss of $6.23 per share. The airline’s bond rating is also below investment grade and its most recent debt issue carried an interest rate of 4.875%. Still, speculators have been rushing in as the airline said it was probably cash flow positive in March.</p>\n<p>Going beyond speculative gains, however, will mean regaining the trust of employees, the government and passengers, which was not helped by an engineblowing out 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 <i>Tipranks</i>. Even <i>InvestorPlace’s</i> 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 a cautionary tale.</p>\n<p>Before 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.</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 $4 billion bond 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 $57 billion in assets 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 could resume this summer. That should save Carnival the company. But it still leaves precious little for shareholders of CCL stock.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>8 Travel Stocks for the Grand Reopening</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\">\n8 Travel Stocks for the Grand Reopening\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-16 11:39 GMT+8 <a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/eight-reopening-stocks-travel-stocks-grand-reopening/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Travel and other reopening stocks are rising again, but not all deserve to\nSource: Seksun Guntanid/shutterstock.com\n\n“You are now free to move about the country.”\nThis long time Southwest Airlines ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/eight-reopening-stocks-travel-stocks-grand-reopening/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"UAL":"联合大陆航空","ABNB":"爱彼迎","LUV":"西南航空","DAL":"达美航空","TRIP":"猫途鹰","CCL":"嘉年华邮轮","RCL":"皇家加勒比邮轮","DIS":"迪士尼"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/eight-reopening-stocks-travel-stocks-grand-reopening/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1151397636","content_text":"Travel and other reopening stocks are rising again, but not all deserve to\nSource: Seksun Guntanid/shutterstock.com\n\n“You are now free to move about the country.”\nThis long time Southwest Airlines slogan has become one of the great investment themes of 2021.\nEven before the pandemic was ebbing, investors had been flocking back into travel and reopening stocks. 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.

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.
