Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines. As a result, and together with a sizable multi-billion dollar share repurchasing program, delivered a CAGR return of over 27.5% over the past decade.</p>\n<p>Now, as expected, this debit-to-debt transition rate is slowing as most of the developed world has already shifted to paperless, contactless and debit-less financial situations and this is seen by analyst forecasts slowing growth rates from 27% to 15% over the next 5 years. Although I do believe that the company is likely to beat these expectations by a handsome margin, it's still slightly concerning for the longer-run return prospects.</p>\n<p>Although we can have the dividend vs buyback debate all day every day, I think that there should be some consideration to a dividend hike as they currently only pay a 0.5% annual dividend yield which does not entice investors given the slowing growth rate for the longer run.</p>\n<p><b>Accumulating Growth &amp; Returning Value</b></p>\n<p>Visa has seen one of the steadiest share price appreciation environments in the entire stocks market and it has done so on behalf of the transition from debit to credit in almost all of the elements in our lives. We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.</p>\n<p>Another positive factor is&nbsp;the company's use of share repurchasing&nbsp;to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.</p>\n<p>Even so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.</p>\n<p><b>There's One More Thing</b></p>\n<p>One thing that is slightly concerning to me is&nbsp;the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been&nbsp;paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.</p>\n<p>The positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments. Moreover, although they've been investing less money and returning less interest income, they have been retiring the high-yield debt ahead of schedule and as a result, interest expense has been on the decline. It's unclear what the company's priorities will be moving forward but I do expect more of this to continue. They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.</p>\n<p><b>Slowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here</b></p>\n<p>The reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.</p>\n<p>The company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate. For the next 5 years,they currently expect a CAGR of 13.9% to EPS, significantly less than the past 5 years. Here are the figures for 2020 through 2025:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b41c1540a1a9a1f8b55455396430ced\" tg-width=\"906\" tg-height=\"214\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Even as the company has beaten expectations for most of the past decade quarterly reporting, it's unclear if this will continue as analysts project that the company's margins will improve significantly over the next few years, as evident by sales growth expectations. This doesn't make much sense to me as more competitive pressures and third-party services like cashback, advertising revenue sharing services and more will start eating at the company's sky-high margins over the next several years.</p>\n<p>For sales, analysts currently expect Visa to report a sales CAGR of 10.3% throughout the same timeframe as I mentioned earlier for EPS projections. This means that the company will increase margins as they expect EPS to grow at a higher, near 14% growth rate over the same period.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8d2373e15699c5dac4ff966da4235f97\" tg-width=\"905\" tg-height=\"214\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>I continue to believe that the company may beat sales expectations as we see stronger transition figures but I do not believe we'll be seeing much EPS beats if they continue to guide for margin expansion.

Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines. As a result, and together with a sizable multi-billion dollar share repurchasing program, delivered a CAGR return of over 27.5% over the past decade.\nNow, as expected, this debit-to-debt transition rate is slowing as most of the developed world has already shifted to paperless, contactless and debit-less financial situations and this is seen by analyst forecasts slowing growth rates from 27% to 15% over the next 5 years. Although I do believe that the company is likely to beat these expectations by a handsome margin, it's still slightly concerning for the longer-run return prospects.\nAlthough we can have the dividend vs buyback debate all day every day, I think that there should be some consideration to a dividend hike as they currently only pay a 0.5% annual dividend yield which does not entice investors given the slowing growth rate for the longer run.\nAccumulating Growth & Returning Value\nVisa has seen one of the steadiest share price appreciation environments in the entire stocks market and it has done so on behalf of the transition from debit to credit in almost all of the elements in our lives. We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.\nAnother positive factor is the company's use of share repurchasing to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.\nEven so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.\nThere's One More Thing\nOne thing that is slightly concerning to me is the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.\nThe positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments. Moreover, although they've been investing less money and returning less interest income, they have been retiring the high-yield debt ahead of schedule and as a result, interest expense has been on the decline. It's unclear what the company's priorities will be moving forward but I do expect more of this to continue. They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.\nSlowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here\nThe reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.\nThe company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate. For the next 5 years,they currently expect a CAGR of 13.9% to EPS, significantly less than the past 5 years. Here are the figures for 2020 through 2025:\n(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)\n\n\n\n\n\nEven as the company has beaten expectations for most of the past decade quarterly reporting, it's unclear if this will continue as analysts project that the company's margins will improve significantly over the next few years, as evident by sales growth expectations. This doesn't make much sense to me as more competitive pressures and third-party services like cashback, advertising revenue sharing services and more will start eating at the company's sky-high margins over the next several years.\nFor sales, analysts currently expect Visa to report a sales CAGR of 10.3% throughout the same timeframe as I mentioned earlier for EPS projections. This means that the company will increase margins as they expect EPS to grow at a higher, near 14% growth rate over the same period.\n(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)\n\n\n\n\n\nI continue to believe that the company may beat sales expectations as we see stronger transition figures but I do not believe we'll be seeing much EPS beats if they continue to guide for margin expansion. The transitions within these industries away from high-interest products to still-high-but-lower interest products are almost certain to put a small but significant damper on margin growth.\nInvestment Conclusion\nVisa has a bright future ahead and with the roughly 15% expected EPS growth rate and the additional 2.2% buyback rate, it is nearly certain to beat the overall market return rate, which has historically been just over 10%. Even so, the company growth rate is inevitably slowing, and with rising competitive pressure and third party services expenses, I believe there needs to be more to entice long term yield investors who may not be all that optimistic about the company's ability to continue and beat the market without being paid to wait.\nThe company has more than enough cash to increase its dividend yield to over 2% while continuing the same level of share repurchasing. Investing that cash has been good for the company but has not brought even close to the same level of return that hiking dividend or increasing buyback will do.\nI remain bullish on the company's long-term prospects but am waiting to see some more of a focus on shareholder value before adding to a position.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"V":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":686,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890403455,"gmtCreate":1628126443577,"gmtModify":1633753350853,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!","listText":"Wow!","text":"Wow!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/890403455","repostId":"2157748627","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":747,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807230800,"gmtCreate":1628037994300,"gmtModify":1633754196263,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/807230800","repostId":"2156209941","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2156209941","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628035381,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2156209941?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-04 08:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SoftBank Builds a $5 Billion Stake in Pharma Giant Roche","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2156209941","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Japanese firm’s stake makes it one of Roche’s top investors\nSoftBank believes Roche’s Genentech divi","content":"<ul>\n <li>Japanese firm’s stake makes it one of Roche’s&nbsp;top investors</li>\n <li>SoftBank believes Roche’s Genentech division is undervalued</li>\n</ul>\n<p>SoftBank Group Corp. has quietly built a $5 billion stake in Roche Holding AG, placing a bet on the pharmaceutical company’s strategy of using data to develop drugs, according to people familiar with the matter.</p>\n<p>The Japanese conglomerate is now <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Roche’s largest investors, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>Roche’s sales have recently been boosted by its Covid-19 testing business.

The House may then take up the measure.</p>\n<p>The bill includes $550 billion in new spending, on top of existing programs. Highlights include $73 billion for clean-energy transmission, $110 billion for roads and bridges, and $7.5 billion for electric-vehicle charging stations. Money would also be doled out for airports, water projects, broadband internet, and initiatives to combat climate-change.</p>\n<p>Passage of a bill still faces steep political hurdles.</p>\n<p>While Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) has indicated his support, the bill could be held up by Democract demands in the House to pass a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill first. That won’t be easy, especially if Democrats hope to enlist Republican Senators for $1.2 trillion in infrastructure, conditioned on passing a reconciliation bill first.</p>\n<p>Still, if a bill does keep moving forward, Wall Street analysts are likely to raise revenue estimates for 2022 and beyond, anticipating a steady trickle of money from federal, state, and local governments as projects win approval.</p>\n<p>So how to play it? Four companies that stand to benefit are&nbsp;Jacobs Engineering Group(ticker: J),Hubbell(HUBB),Insteel Industries(IIIN), and&nbsp;Union Pacific(UNP), according to Andrew Little, research analyst at exchange-traded-fund sponsor Global X.</p>\n<p>Jacobs is a construction company and the lead engineer on several major projects now underway, including a $1.2 billion reconstruction of the I-270 Corridor in Denver, he notes. Jacobs is also involved in renewable-energy projects and builds data centers.</p>\n<p>Hubbell manufactures electrical equipment for industrial clients, including products to improve building energy efficiency and power transmission, helping create “smart grids.”</p>\n<p>Insteel manufactures steel wiring used in construction projects and water utilities, including reinforcement of piping and irrigation projects.</p>\n<p>Union Pacific runs one of the largest freight-rail networks in the U.S., operating in 23 western states, and would benefit from increased volume of raw materials and industrial goods.</p>\n<p>Investors may be paying a steep premium for these stocks, though.</p>\n<p>Jacobs is up 26% this year and trades at 19 times next-12-month earnings, a 19% premium to its five-year average price/earnings multiple. If there’s upside, however, it could be in infrastructure—Jacobs’ “people and places” business generates $7 billion in annual revenue through modernizing public and private projects, partly to meet higher environmental standards, the company said on a recent earnings call.</p>\n<p>Hubbell is up 27% this year and goes for 21 times earnings, against a five-year P/E average of 18. The company would benefit from increased spending on renewable-energy infrastructure, including solar and wind components.</p>\n<p>Insteel has gained 75% this year, though it still trades at a modest 13 times earnings. The company is facing supply constraints and logistics issues, though an infrastructure bill would be a benefit, Insteel recently told analysts.</p>\n<p>Union Pacific stock is only up 5% this year and trades at 20 times earnings, above its five year P/E average of 19.</p>\n<p>Freight volume has been depressed due to supply-chain disruptions, a shortage of semiconductors, and backlogs of goods waiting to be unloaded at U.S. ports.</p>\n<p>But the railroad is expecting raw materials volume to remain robust as the economy gains momentum. And Union hiked its annual dividend in May by 10% to $1.07 a share, giving it a 2% annualized yield.</p>\n<p>Other infrastructure favorites include aggregates companies&nbsp;Vulcan Materials(VMC) and&nbsp;Martin Marietta Materials(MLM), and industrial-machinery giants&nbsp;Deere(DE) and&nbsp;Caterpillar(CAT).

The House may then take up the measure.\nThe bill includes $550 billion in new spending, on top of existing programs. Highlights include $73 billion for clean-energy transmission, $110 billion for roads and bridges, and $7.5 billion for electric-vehicle charging stations. Money would also be doled out for airports, water projects, broadband internet, and initiatives to combat climate-change.\nPassage of a bill still faces steep political hurdles.\nWhile Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) has indicated his support, the bill could be held up by Democract demands in the House to pass a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill first. That won’t be easy, especially if Democrats hope to enlist Republican Senators for $1.2 trillion in infrastructure, conditioned on passing a reconciliation bill first.\nStill, if a bill does keep moving forward, Wall Street analysts are likely to raise revenue estimates for 2022 and beyond, anticipating a steady trickle of money from federal, state, and local governments as projects win approval.\nSo how to play it? Four companies that stand to benefit are Jacobs Engineering Group(ticker: J),Hubbell(HUBB),Insteel Industries(IIIN), and Union Pacific(UNP), according to Andrew Little, research analyst at exchange-traded-fund sponsor Global X.\nJacobs is a construction company and the lead engineer on several major projects now underway, including a $1.2 billion reconstruction of the I-270 Corridor in Denver, he notes. Jacobs is also involved in renewable-energy projects and builds data centers.\nHubbell manufactures electrical equipment for industrial clients, including products to improve building energy efficiency and power transmission, helping create “smart grids.”\nInsteel manufactures steel wiring used in construction projects and water utilities, including reinforcement of piping and irrigation projects.\nUnion Pacific runs one of the largest freight-rail networks in the U.S., operating in 23 western states, and would benefit from increased volume of raw materials and industrial goods.\nInvestors may be paying a steep premium for these stocks, though.\nJacobs is up 26% this year and trades at 19 times next-12-month earnings, a 19% premium to its five-year average price/earnings multiple. If there’s upside, however, it could be in infrastructure—Jacobs’ “people and places” business generates $7 billion in annual revenue through modernizing public and private projects, partly to meet higher environmental standards, the company said on a recent earnings call.\nHubbell is up 27% this year and goes for 21 times earnings, against a five-year P/E average of 18. The company would benefit from increased spending on renewable-energy infrastructure, including solar and wind components.\nInsteel has gained 75% this year, though it still trades at a modest 13 times earnings. The company is facing supply constraints and logistics issues, though an infrastructure bill would be a benefit, Insteel recently told analysts.\nUnion Pacific stock is only up 5% this year and trades at 20 times earnings, above its five year P/E average of 19.\nFreight volume has been depressed due to supply-chain disruptions, a shortage of semiconductors, and backlogs of goods waiting to be unloaded at U.S. ports.\nBut the railroad is expecting raw materials volume to remain robust as the economy gains momentum. And Union hiked its annual dividend in May by 10% to $1.07 a share, giving it a 2% annualized yield.\nOther infrastructure favorites include aggregates companies Vulcan Materials(VMC) and Martin Marietta Materials(MLM), and industrial-machinery giants Deere(DE) and Caterpillar(CAT). In broadband, cell-tower companies such as American Tower REIT(AMT),SBA Communications(SBAC), and Crown Castle International(CCI) could benefit.\nInvestors can also gain exposure to the theme through an ETF. Top performers in clean tech this year include First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart GRID Infrastructure Index(GRID),Invesco MSCI Sustainable Future(ERTH), and First Trust Global Wind Energy(FAN).\nAsBarron’s has noted, electric-vehicle-charger component providers, including Amphenol (APH),TE Connectivity (TEL), and Sensata Technologies Holding (ST), could also be winners.\nThe iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (IFRA) includes a big slug of utilities at 44% of its asset base. The ETF has done well this year, gaining 20% against a 17% return for the S&P 500.\nThere could be more gains ahead if the infrastructure train finally leaves Union Station in Washington.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":752,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803692297,"gmtCreate":1627434855419,"gmtModify":1633765036601,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/803692297","repostId":"2154991792","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2154991792","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1627428087,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2154991792?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-28 07:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St snaps five-day up streak as caution rises before tech earnings, Fed","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2154991792","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday, ending a five-day winning streak in the t","content":"<p>NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday, ending a five-day winning streak in the three major indexes, as investors were cautious before results from top tech and internet names and Wednesday's Federal Reserve announcement.</p>\n<p>The Nasdaq led the day's declines, registering its biggest daily percentage drop since May 12, but the three indexes pared losses heading into the close and ended well off the lows of the session.</p>\n<p>Shares of Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp&nbsp;and Google parent Alphabet Inc , which all reported earnings after the bell, dropped and weighed the most on the Nasdaq and S&amp;P 500 along with Amazon.com Inc , which is expected to report results later this week.</p>\n<p>Also, electric-car maker Tesla Inc fell 2%, a day after it posted a bigger-than-expected second-quarter profit but said a global chip shortage that led to temporary factory shutdowns for the automaker remains serious.</p>\n<p>Shares of the heavily weighted tech and internet companies have run up recently and last week regained leadership in the market, putting their results even more in the spotlight.</p>\n<p>\"Expectations are so high.

Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines. As a result, and together with a sizable multi-billion dollar share repurchasing program, delivered a CAGR return of over 27.5% over the past decade.</p>\n<p>Now, as expected, this debit-to-debt transition rate is slowing as most of the developed world has already shifted to paperless, contactless and debit-less financial situations and this is seen by analyst forecasts slowing growth rates from 27% to 15% over the next 5 years. Although I do believe that the company is likely to beat these expectations by a handsome margin, it's still slightly concerning for the longer-run return prospects.</p>\n<p>Although we can have the dividend vs buyback debate all day every day, I think that there should be some consideration to a dividend hike as they currently only pay a 0.5% annual dividend yield which does not entice investors given the slowing growth rate for the longer run.</p>\n<p><b>Accumulating Growth &amp; Returning Value</b></p>\n<p>Visa has seen one of the steadiest share price appreciation environments in the entire stocks market and it has done so on behalf of the transition from debit to credit in almost all of the elements in our lives. We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.</p>\n<p>Another positive factor is&nbsp;the company's use of share repurchasing&nbsp;to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.</p>\n<p>Even so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.</p>\n<p><b>There's One More Thing</b></p>\n<p>One thing that is slightly concerning to me is&nbsp;the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been&nbsp;paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.</p>\n<p>The positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments. Moreover, although they've been investing less money and returning less interest income, they have been retiring the high-yield debt ahead of schedule and as a result, interest expense has been on the decline. It's unclear what the company's priorities will be moving forward but I do expect more of this to continue. They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.</p>\n<p><b>Slowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here</b></p>\n<p>The reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.</p>\n<p>The company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate. For the next 5 years,they currently expect a CAGR of 13.9% to EPS, significantly less than the past 5 years. Here are the figures for 2020 through 2025:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b41c1540a1a9a1f8b55455396430ced\" tg-width=\"906\" tg-height=\"214\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Even as the company has beaten expectations for most of the past decade quarterly reporting, it's unclear if this will continue as analysts project that the company's margins will improve significantly over the next few years, as evident by sales growth expectations. This doesn't make much sense to me as more competitive pressures and third-party services like cashback, advertising revenue sharing services and more will start eating at the company's sky-high margins over the next several years.</p>\n<p>For sales, analysts currently expect Visa to report a sales CAGR of 10.3% throughout the same timeframe as I mentioned earlier for EPS projections.

The transitions within these industries away from high-interest products to still-high-but-lower interest products are almost certain to put a small but significant damper on margin growth.</p>\n<p><b>Investment Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Visa has a bright future ahead and with the roughly 15% expected EPS growth rate and the additional 2.2% buyback rate, it is nearly certain to beat the overall market return rate, which has historically been just over 10%. Even so, the company growth rate is inevitably slowing, and with rising competitive pressure and third party services expenses, I believe there needs to be more to entice long term yield investors who may not be all that optimistic about the company's ability to continue and beat the market without being paid to wait.</p>\n<p>The company has more than enough cash to increase its dividend yield to over 2% while continuing the same level of share repurchasing. Investing that cash has been good for the company but has not brought even close to the same level of return that hiking dividend or increasing buyback will do.</p>\n<p>I remain bullish on the company's long-term prospects but am waiting to see some more of a focus on shareholder value before adding to a position.</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>Visa: Slowing Growth Rate, We May Need More</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\">\nVisa: Slowing Growth Rate, We May Need More\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-06 10:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4445698-visa-slowing-growth-rate-we-may-need-more><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nVisa has been superb at delivering value and growth for investors and customers for the past decade and more, with more and more of our everyday financial transactions moving digital.\nHowever...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4445698-visa-slowing-growth-rate-we-may-need-more\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"V":"Visa"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4445698-visa-slowing-growth-rate-we-may-need-more","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1186157835","content_text":"Summary\n\nVisa has been superb at delivering value and growth for investors and customers for the past decade and more, with more and more of our everyday financial transactions moving digital.\nHowever, growth rate is inevitably going to slow down and I believe the company should be hiking their dividend to entice investors to stay on the gravy train.\nI remain bullish on the company's prospects even as I believe we need to see more.\n\nminiseries/E+ via Getty Images\nVisa (V) has been the ultimate success story of wealth accumulation. Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines. As a result, and together with a sizable multi-billion dollar share repurchasing program, delivered a CAGR return of over 27.5% over the past decade.\nNow, as expected, this debit-to-debt transition rate is slowing as most of the developed world has already shifted to paperless, contactless and debit-less financial situations and this is seen by analyst forecasts slowing growth rates from 27% to 15% over the next 5 years. Although I do believe that the company is likely to beat these expectations by a handsome margin, it's still slightly concerning for the longer-run return prospects.\nAlthough we can have the dividend vs buyback debate all day every day, I think that there should be some consideration to a dividend hike as they currently only pay a 0.5% annual dividend yield which does not entice investors given the slowing growth rate for the longer run.\nAccumulating Growth & Returning Value\nVisa has seen one of the steadiest share price appreciation environments in the entire stocks market and it has done so on behalf of the transition from debit to credit in almost all of the elements in our lives. We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.\nAnother positive factor is the company's use of share repurchasing to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.\nEven so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.\nThere's One More Thing\nOne thing that is slightly concerning to me is the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.\nThe positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments. Moreover, although they've been investing less money and returning less interest income, they have been retiring the high-yield debt ahead of schedule and as a result, interest expense has been on the decline. It's unclear what the company's priorities will be moving forward but I do expect more of this to continue. They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.\nSlowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here\nThe reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.\nThe company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate. For the next 5 years,they currently expect a CAGR of 13.9% to EPS, significantly less than the past 5 years. Here are the figures for 2020 through 2025:\n(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)\n\n\n\n\n\nEven as the company has beaten expectations for most of the past decade quarterly reporting, it's unclear if this will continue as analysts project that the company's margins will improve significantly over the next few years, as evident by sales growth expectations. This doesn't make much sense to me as more competitive pressures and third-party services like cashback, advertising revenue sharing services and more will start eating at the company's sky-high margins over the next several years.\nFor sales, analysts currently expect Visa to report a sales CAGR of 10.3% throughout the same timeframe as I mentioned earlier for EPS projections.

The company’s diagnostics unit reacted swiftly to the coronavirus pandemic, but the pharmaceuticals division, where aging cancer medicines face increasing competition, has had a more difficult time.\nShares of the Basel, Switzerland-based company have risen 8.8% in the last 12 months, compared with a 14.7% gain in the MSCI World Pharma Biotech & Life Sciences index over the same period.\nThe drugmaker has a dual-class share structure with separate voting and non-voting shares. The founding families own 50.1% of the voting class, while cross-town rival Novartis AG holds one-third. It’s unclear which types of shares SoftBank holds.\nSoftBank believes Roche’s Genentech division, which focuses on data-based drug discovery and development, is highly undervalued, one of the people said, all of whom asked not to be identified because the information is private. Roche last year hired Aviv Regev, a computational and systems biologist who was a core member of the Harvard University-affiliated Broad Institute, to lead the Genetech research unit.\nRoche is also developing a new pill for Covid-19 and an Alzheimer’s disease treatment.

new form of streaming is gaining momentum -- and that's not good for the iconic content company.","content":"<p>The king of streaming services,&nbsp;<b>Netflix</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:NFLX), has been a top-performing tech stock over the past decade. Its gain of 1,266% during that period far outpaces the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s 240% return. But share prices have stalled as of late, as the stock has not moved much in the past 12 months and is down 4% in 2021.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Netflix is becoming too big -- its market cap has already exceeded $220 billion. At that scale, innovation becomes harder to achieve, while the rise of competitors makes it easier for existing subscribers to flake. However, it's not just intense competition that is causing trouble.</p>\n<p> A new practice is rapidly revolutionizing the streaming world that potentially has stock price implications. Let's look at why investors should be cautious about investing in Netflix.&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df63c30b571ad23f98676758ab77e6ea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The devil in the detail&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Netflix had a pretty amazing second quarter; its revenue went up 19.4% year over year to $7.34 billion. Simultaneously, the company's net income increased by 88% in the same period to $1.35 billion. Those are superb results, but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> metric has puzzled analysts and investors alike: the recent loss of 430,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. </p>\n<p>Some say it's due to the popularity of other streaming services like <b>Walt</b> <b>Disney</b>'s Disney+&nbsp;or <b>Amazon</b> Prime taking market share. Some observe that as venues reopen following last year's lockdowns, people want to get out of the house and travel instead of sitting and home and watching movies. Others point to features like multi-device streaming that makes getting more than one subscription redundant. But I think there is another risk factor that investors aren't seeing.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>The major risk ahead&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Over the past few years, a practice known as synchronized viewing (or screen sharing) has gained momentum. This allows individuals to stream movies or TV shows directly to their family and friends free of charge. Intellectual property laws and their enforcement are somewhat archaic -- they have not caught on to the practice, so the whole thing is a grey area. For example, a user on the popular social app Discord can stream Netflix content to as many as 50 people at the same time. These instances are commonly known as \"movie nights.\" </p>\n<p>It's obvious why the practice is bad for the stock here. Only one person in the community needs a Netflix subscription to go live with the stream -- saving others a lot of money over the long run. One could realize additional savings by streaming in standard definition instead of high definition. Moreover, the rise of 5G will only make synchronized viewing more popular. Bored after a walk on the beach at a holiday resort? Just pull up an app that allows one to watch Netflix content together with friends -- anytime, anywhere.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>There is no data on the phenomena per se as it is a fairly recent trend (but rapidly gaining in popularity). However, there are countless articles from major outlets regarding how to screen share and host virtual movie nights on services like Discord. By the way, that app has more than 150 million monthly active users and 19 million servers. Of course, the practice doesn't affect hard-line Netflix subscribers, but it does offer an enticing alternative for those who don't use it quite as often and can just \"limp in\" once a week to a stream with friends. Companies like Amazon have already caught on to the practice and have features that only allow Prime Members to join in on watch parties. But like Netflix, Amazon doesn't have the ability to prevent streams on third-party software.</p>\n<h2>What's the verdict?&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>At this point, investors are still viewing Netflix stock as one that will achieve growth over an infinite horizon. It currently trades for 8.5 times sales and 53.4 times earnings. But be warned -- the widespread adoption of synchronized viewing has made it far more economical to cancel one's Netflix subscription and just watch the same content on the friend's stream.

Its gain of 1,266% during that period far outpaces the S&P 500's 240% return. But share prices have stalled as of late, as the stock has not moved much in the past 12 months and is down 4% in 2021. \nNetflix is becoming too big -- its market cap has already exceeded $220 billion. At that scale, innovation becomes harder to achieve, while the rise of competitors makes it easier for existing subscribers to flake. However, it's not just intense competition that is causing trouble.\n A new practice is rapidly revolutionizing the streaming world that potentially has stock price implications. Let's look at why investors should be cautious about investing in Netflix. \nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe devil in the detail \nNetflix had a pretty amazing second quarter; its revenue went up 19.4% year over year to $7.34 billion. Simultaneously, the company's net income increased by 88% in the same period to $1.35 billion. Those are superb results, but one metric has puzzled analysts and investors alike: the recent loss of 430,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. \nSome say it's due to the popularity of other streaming services like Walt Disney's Disney+ or Amazon Prime taking market share. Some observe that as venues reopen following last year's lockdowns, people want to get out of the house and travel instead of sitting and home and watching movies. Others point to features like multi-device streaming that makes getting more than one subscription redundant. But I think there is another risk factor that investors aren't seeing. \nThe major risk ahead \nOver the past few years, a practice known as synchronized viewing (or screen sharing) has gained momentum. This allows individuals to stream movies or TV shows directly to their family and friends free of charge. Intellectual property laws and their enforcement are somewhat archaic -- they have not caught on to the practice, so the whole thing is a grey area. For example, a user on the popular social app Discord can stream Netflix content to as many as 50 people at the same time. These instances are commonly known as \"movie nights.\" \nIt's obvious why the practice is bad for the stock here. Only one person in the community needs a Netflix subscription to go live with the stream -- saving others a lot of money over the long run. One could realize additional savings by streaming in standard definition instead of high definition. Moreover, the rise of 5G will only make synchronized viewing more popular. Bored after a walk on the beach at a holiday resort? Just pull up an app that allows one to watch Netflix content together with friends -- anytime, anywhere. \nThere is no data on the phenomena per se as it is a fairly recent trend (but rapidly gaining in popularity). However, there are countless articles from major outlets regarding how to screen share and host virtual movie nights on services like Discord. By the way, that app has more than 150 million monthly active users and 19 million servers. Of course, the practice doesn't affect hard-line Netflix subscribers, but it does offer an enticing alternative for those who don't use it quite as often and can just \"limp in\" once a week to a stream with friends. Companies like Amazon have already caught on to the practice and have features that only allow Prime Members to join in on watch parties. But like Netflix, Amazon doesn't have the ability to prevent streams on third-party software.\nWhat's the verdict? \nAt this point, investors are still viewing Netflix stock as one that will achieve growth over an infinite horizon. It currently trades for 8.5 times sales and 53.4 times earnings. But be warned -- the widespread adoption of synchronized viewing has made it far more economical to cancel one's Netflix subscription and just watch the same content on the friend's stream. Until Netflix does something about the practice, such as lobbying politicians to update intellectual property laws (which would inevitably anger a lot of subscribers), investors should expect subscriber count in the U.S. and Canada to continue to decline or stagnate.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NFLX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":470,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806385322,"gmtCreate":1627632940066,"gmtModify":1633757587865,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/806385322","repostId":"1196132618","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196132618","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627632825,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196132618?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-30 16:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill Could Lift These Stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196132618","media":"Barrons","summary":"A $1.2 trillion infrastructure package is inching closer to the finish line now that the Senate has ","content":"<p>A $1.2 trillion infrastructure package is inching closer to the finish line now that the Senate has voted to begin debating the measure.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect the Senate to pass a bill with bipartisan support next week.
