Nike’s management said its fiscal 1Q sales would have been higher than reported, if not for supply-chain issues.\nWhile it is unclear how to gauge when this headwind will be resolved, as several parts of the world continue in a reduced capacity or lockdown, this is a pressure that is extended into the upcoming quarter.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9,"NKE":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1596,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":861532446,"gmtCreate":1632521353985,"gmtModify":1632714048144,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/861532446","repostId":"1114004721","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114004721","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":1632496493,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1114004721?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-24 23:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"IPO opening reminder: Clearwater Analytics opens for trading at $23.8, up about 32% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114004721","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 24) Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. opens for trading at $23.8, up about 32% from IPO pric","content":"<p>(Sept 24)&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CWAN\">Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc.</a></b> opens for trading at $23.8, up about 32% from IPO price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/076505c7b70dbe2ad6cfcae8c44f52cb\" tg-width=\"902\" tg-height=\"557\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Company &amp; Technology</b></p>\n<p>Boise, Idaho-based Clearwater was founded to develop a SaaS platform to simplify investment accounting and analysis for asset managers, insurance companies and large corporations.</p>\n<p>Management is headed by Chief Executive Officer Sandeep Sahai, who has been with the firm since September 2016 and was previously CEO of Solmark, an investment partnership.</p>\n<p>The company’s primary offerings include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>Investment accounting and reporting</p></li>\n <li><p>Performance measurement</p></li>\n <li><p>Compliance monitoring</p></li>\n <li><p>Risk analysis</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Clearwater has received at least $421 million in notes payable in equity investment from investors including Welsh Carson, Permira, Warburg Pincus and Dragoneer.</p>\n<p><b>Customer Acquisition</b></p>\n<p>The firm pursues client relationships with asset managers, insurance companies and large corporations via a direct sales and marketing force that is focused on the United States.</p>\n<p>CWAN also has international clients and will seek to expand its international presence post-IPO.</p>\n<p>Clearwater handles data on over $5.6 trillion in assets between more than 1,000 clients.</p>\n<p>Sales and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have varied as revenues have increased, as the figures below indicate:</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Sales and Marketing</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Expenses vs. Revenue</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Period</p></td>\n   <td><p>Percentage</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Six Mos.

This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe primary risk to the firm now is that it is essentially a one-product company, so its revenue base is heavily concentrated.\nAs for valuation, compared to partial competitor Bio-Rad Laboratories, the IPO is reasonably valued on a revenue multiple, although Cue is growing at a much higher rate of growth from a much lower revenue base, so the comparison is strained at best.\nGiven Cue’s growth trajectory, profitability and reasonable IPO valuation, the IPO is worth consideration.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"HLTH":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1648,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":863730273,"gmtCreate":1632434386692,"gmtModify":1632728277502,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/863730273","repostId":"2169667599","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1406,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863730804,"gmtCreate":1632434368108,"gmtModify":1632728283503,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/863730804","repostId":"1162776746","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1307,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863730377,"gmtCreate":1632434346599,"gmtModify":1632728286505,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/863730377","repostId":"1148130438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148130438","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":1632412797,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1148130438?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-23 23:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sterling Check opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148130438","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 23) Sterling Check Corp. opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price.\nCompany & Te","content":"<p>(Sept 23)&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STER\">Sterling Check Corp.</a> opens for trading at $27.1, up about 18% from IPO price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc3f51dd719989f02bf56c538ce17c72\" tg-width=\"904\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>Company &amp;

A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.\nPer the firm’s most recent regulatory filing, it plans to use the net proceeds as follows:\n\n We currently intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay approximately $100.0 million outstanding under our Term loan. We intend to use the remainder, if any, of the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes.\n\nManagement’s presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nRegarding outstanding legal proceedings, management said the firm is not a party to any legal proceedings that it believes would be material to its operations or financial condition.\nListed bookrunners of the IPO are Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and other investment banks.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of the firm’s relevant capitalization and valuation metrics at IPO, excluding the effects of underwriter options:\n\n\n\n\nMeasure [TTM]\nAmount\n\n\nMarket Capitalization at IPO\n$1,973,227,914\n\n\nEnterprise Value\n$2,401,254,914\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n3.62\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n4.41\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n122.06\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n-$0.08\n\n\nFloat To Outstanding Shares Ratio\n15.20%\n\n\nProposed IPO Midpoint Price per Share\n$21.00\n\n\nNet Free Cash Flow\n$44,998,000\n\n\nFree Cash Flow Yield Per Share\n2.28%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n43.64%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(Source)\nAs a reference, a potential public comparable would be First Advantage(NASDAQ:FA); shown below is a comparison of their primary valuation metrics:\n\n\n\n\nMetric\nFirst Advantage\nSterling Check\nVariance\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n5.76\n3.62\n-37.1%\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n6.53\n4.41\n-32.5%\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n23.41\n122.06\n421.4%\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n$0.04\n-$0.08\n-293.0%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n19.2%\n43.64%\n127.89%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(S-1/AandSeeking Alpha)\nCommentary\nSTER is going public to obtain investment to pay down some of its debt and for its corporate expansion initiatives.\nThe firm’s financials show rebounding topline revenue growth, uneven gross profit growth, a swing to operating profit and net income and growing cash flow from operations in 2021.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, was an impressive $45 million.\nSelling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue have trended lower as revenue has varied and its Selling, G&A efficiency rate rebounded to 1.3x in the most recent six-month reporting period.\nThe market opportunity for providing background checks and related services is large and expected to grow at a moderate CAGR Of 5.5% in the coming years, although the continued transition to a decentralized workforce may increase demand a bit above this estimate.\nGoldman Sachs is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 37.3% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe general business cycle - when companies hire fewer workers during down economic periods, demand for the company’s services will decline.\nWhile Sterling is not immune to the ups and downs of the business cycle and potential future pandemic variant effects on economic activity, the firm has rebounded impressively and appears positioned to compete in a growing market.\nAs for valuation, compared to First Advantage, which went public earlier in 2021 and performed since its debut, STER appears reasonably valued on a revenue multiple basis as the firm is growing revenue at a faster rate. STER is nearing EPS breakeven.\nGiven the company’s strong rebound after the 2020 pandemic period and reasonable IPO valuation, the IPO is worth a close look.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"STER":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1072,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863730997,"gmtCreate":1632434336619,"gmtModify":1632728289506,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/863730997","repostId":"1150145468","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150145468","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

in March 202","content":"<p>Financial markets are suddenly turbulent again.</p>\n<p>Following a brief but devastating crash in March 2020, stocks and other investments had glided ever higher and touched new records, seemingly impervious to an endless stream of bad news about COVID and a historic wave of unemployment during the pandemic fueled recession. If you checked your 401(1) or your Robinhood account during that time, many investors saw a bigger net balance.</p>\n<p>That is, until this month.</p>\n<p>Global financial markets have wavered in recent weeks, slumping across the board Monday in what was one of the worst days of the year. An array of concerns about the global economy converged to drag down stocks, and some Wall Street experts worry it may upend Wall Street’s streak of gains.</p>\n<p>At one point on Monday, the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average dropped by as many as 972 points before closing down 614 points. Investors worried about the pace of global growth, possible damage to markets from indebted real-estate developers in China and fears about Federal Reserve policies that could emerge from the central bank's meeting this week.</p>\n<p>So does this mean trouble for your nest egg? Don’t freak out just yet, experts say.</p>\n<p>Here's what the stock market is signaling about the rest of the year.</p>\n<p><b>What's caused stock market volatility?</b></p>\n<p>While there are whispers of a Lehman Brothers-like crisis brewing overseas, most financial experts said those troubles appear contained.</p>\n<p>Those fears are part of a series of factors that have weighed on investors in recent weeks, putting the S&amp;P 500 -- the benchmark used for most mutual funds -- on track for its first monthly decline since January. Cryptocurrencies also came under further pressure Monday, with bitcoin, the world’s most popular digital currency, slumping by more than 7%.</p>\n<p>Worries about debt-engorged Chinese property developers — and the damage they could do to investors worldwide if they default — have rippled across global markets. Those concerns have centered on Evergrande, one of China’s biggest real estate developers, which looks like it may be unable to repay its debts.</p>\n<p>The fear is that Evergrande could collapse, causing a chain reaction through the Chinese property-development industry that spills over into the broader financial system, similar to how the failure of Lehman Brothers inflamed the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession.

If you checked your 401(1) or your Robinhood account during that time, many investors saw a bigger net balance.\nThat is, until this month.\nGlobal financial markets have wavered in recent weeks, slumping across the board Monday in what was one of the worst days of the year. An array of concerns about the global economy converged to drag down stocks, and some Wall Street experts worry it may upend Wall Street’s streak of gains.\nAt one point on Monday, the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average dropped by as many as 972 points before closing down 614 points. Investors worried about the pace of global growth, possible damage to markets from indebted real-estate developers in China and fears about Federal Reserve policies that could emerge from the central bank's meeting this week.\nSo does this mean trouble for your nest egg? Don’t freak out just yet, experts say.\nHere's what the stock market is signaling about the rest of the year.\nWhat's caused stock market volatility?\nWhile there are whispers of a Lehman Brothers-like crisis brewing overseas, most financial experts said those troubles appear contained.\nThose fears are part of a series of factors that have weighed on investors in recent weeks, putting the S&P 500 -- the benchmark used for most mutual funds -- on track for its first monthly decline since January. Cryptocurrencies also came under further pressure Monday, with bitcoin, the world’s most popular digital currency, slumping by more than 7%.\nWorries about debt-engorged Chinese property developers — and the damage they could do to investors worldwide if they default — have rippled across global markets. Those concerns have centered on Evergrande, one of China’s biggest real estate developers, which looks like it may be unable to repay its debts.\nThe fear is that Evergrande could collapse, causing a chain reaction through the Chinese property-development industry that spills over into the broader financial system, similar to how the failure of Lehman Brothers inflamed the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession. Those Chinese property companies have been big drivers of that nation's economy, which is the world’s second-largest.\nBut analysts expect China’s government to prevent such a scenario, avoiding a Lehman-type moment, they said. For example, China’s short-term debt markets, also known as money markets, aren’t showing any worrisome signs of broader problems, according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. In a note to clients, he said these markets tend to be the canary in the coal mine and that the fallout appears to be fairly contained as of now.\n“Short-term funding markets are acting just fine in China thus far,\" Detrick wrote. \"Remember, it was the money markets in the U.S. that first started to show cracks in the system in early 2008, well before the wheels fell off.”\nInvestors are also concerned that the Fed, which is due to deliver its latest economic and interest rate policy update on Wednesday, may signal Wednesday that it’s planning to pull back some of the support measures it provided markets and the economy.\nA potential rise in interest rates has implications for the stock market and could make shares of companies with relatively high prices less attractive. Those types of stocks tend to be technology companies that are priced typically for growth and not for a steady return of dividends like consumer staples, utilities and real estate companies.\nIn addition to Fed fears, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to weigh on the global economy. Congress also faces a looming deadline at the end of the month before the government may shut down.\nDespite concerns that Americans may reign in their spending following supply shortages and a flare-up of COVID-19 infections fueled by the delta variant, purchasing power has remained strong. That could help mitigate expectations for a slowdown in economic growth in the third quarter, as consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economy activity.\nU.S. retail sales unexpectedly rose 0.7% in August, the Commerce Department said last week, helped by back-to-school shopping and additional stimulus through child tax credit payments from the IRS. Sales up 15.1% from the same period a year ago.\nConsumer confidence has remained strong following a jump in personal income, which has helped the savings rate remain elevated. Last month, a separate report from the Commerce Department showed that incomes outpaced spending in July, with the personal savings rate climbing to 9.6%, up from 8.8% in June.\nStocks face bumpy road after record run, but are poised to march higher\nThe U.S. stock market has remained resilient despite concerns about the economic effects of the spread of the delta coronavirus variant and worries about how the Fed will react to rising inflation.

Republicans and Democrats have undergone bipartisan, bicameral negotiations for weeks to keep the government open and provide emergency aid. This bill reflects those urgent priorities,” Shelby&nbsp;said in a statement.\n</blockquote>\n<p><i>Sen.

However, the bill now faces a tough hurdle in the Senate, where Republicans have said they would mount a filibuster.</p>\n<p>Speaking to&nbsp;reporters at a press conference on Tuesday,&nbsp;McConnell reiterated that&nbsp;Republicans were willing to support&nbsp;a short-term government funding bill if it included funding support for the Iron Dome, as well as&nbsp;assistance for Louisiana,&nbsp;which has been left debilitated by&nbsp;hurricane Ida in recent weeks.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “We’re prepared to support a continuing resolution with assistance for Louisiana, with additional funds to replenish Iron Dome,” McConnell said, reported The Hill.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n “What we’re not prepared to do is to relieve the Democratic president, Democratic House, Democratic Senate from their governing obligation to address the debt ceiling,” he added.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Congress must pass a funding plan by Sept. 30 to avert a government shutdown or U.S. default.&nbsp;The extra time will allow lawmakers to negotiate on the budget for the coming year.</p>\n<p><b>The current debt ceiling has already been breached, with debt at $28.78 trillion.

Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) on Sept. 21 offered a competing short-term government funding bill, just as House Democratspassed a stopgap measure that also suspends thedebt limit until after the 2022 election.\nThe bill from McConnell and Shelby does not include a debt ceiling suspension,as Republicans have urged Democrats—the majority party—to raise the $28.4 trillion debt ceiling themselves through reconciliation, a special parliamentary procedure that would expedite the passage of a budgetary measure through the Senate.\n[ZH: The introduction of the bill likely increases the probability of no Senate deal, and for now, the market is tending to agree as debt ceiling anxiety has not eased at all]\nThrough reconciliation, Democrats would be able to bypass the need for 60 votes to approve legislation, and instead rely on a simple majority in the Senate. But Democrats have resisted doing that so far, saying the vote to raise the debt limit should be a bipartisan one.\n\n “I am pleased to introduce a package with Leader McConnell that would extend government funding, provide much-needed disaster relief, and deliver targeted Afghan assistance. Republicans and Democrats have undergone bipartisan, bicameral negotiations for weeks to keep the government open and provide emergency aid. This bill reflects those urgent priorities,” Shelby said in a statement.\n\nSen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) walks through the basement of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, on Aug. 10, 2021. (Samuel Corum/Getty Images)\n\n“Importantly, our legislation includes funding for the Iron Dome, making good on our commitment to a historic and significant ally, and removes the Democrats’ ill-conceived language on the debt limit. Members on both sides of the aisle can support this measure, and I urge them to do so with haste,” he added.\n\nSimilar to the Democrats’ bill, the legislation from McConnell and Shelby would also keep the government funded through Dec. 3.\nIt also includes resources for disaster aid and assistance for Afghan allies, as well as funding for the Iron Dome, Israel’s defense system. The Republicans senators said the funding for the Iron Dome would “bolster Israel’s defense capacity and protect against Hamas attacks.”\nOn Tuesday, House Democrats removed $1 billion in funding for the Dome from their bill, amid accusations of human rights abuses within the Israel’s military and its treatment towards Palestinians.\nAn Israeli soldier lies on the ground as missiles are fired from an Iron Dome anti-missile station near the city of Beer Sheva, Israel on Nov. 15, 2012. (Ilia Yefimovich/Getty Images)\nThe latest GOP legislation comes after The House of Representatives voted late Tuesday to pass a bill that would avert a government shutdown or U.S. default, fund it through Dec. 3 and suspend the debt limit through Dec. 16, 2022.\nThe 220–211 vote in the Democrat-majority chamber was on party lines. However, the bill now faces a tough hurdle in the Senate, where Republicans have said they would mount a filibuster.\nSpeaking to reporters at a press conference on Tuesday, McConnell reiterated that Republicans were willing to support a short-term government funding bill if it included funding support for the Iron Dome, as well as assistance for Louisiana, which has been left debilitated by hurricane Ida in recent weeks.\n\n “We’re prepared to support a continuing resolution with assistance for Louisiana, with additional funds to replenish Iron Dome,” McConnell said, reported The Hill.\n\n\n “What we’re not prepared to do is to relieve the Democratic president, Democratic House, Democratic Senate from their governing obligation to address the debt ceiling,” he added.\n\nCongress must pass a funding plan by Sept. 30 to avert a government shutdown or U.S. default. The extra time will allow lawmakers to negotiate on the budget for the coming year.\nThe current debt ceiling has already been breached, with debt at $28.78 trillion. It is being temporarily financed through the Treasury Department’s “extraordinary measures,” which it expects will be exhausted by October.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":789,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869498464,"gmtCreate":1632313920058,"gmtModify":1632801331266,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/869498464","repostId":"2169324976","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":454,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869498235,"gmtCreate":1632313907227,"gmtModify":1632465530425,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583140590641923","authorIdStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/869498235","repostId":"1146187405","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":514,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":188527320,"gmtCreate":1623456030860,"gmtModify":1634033046356,"author":{"id":"3583140590641923","authorId":"3583140590641923","name":"Andrew210782","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e065afa93f953171dd0eb9aaebbe93b","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583140590641923","idStr":"3583140590641923"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like

However, we think what's important for investors to note is that the Street revised its estimates meaningfully upwards from CY26 to reflect the strong demand that SPCE highlighted during its recent earnings call, which we think demonstrates the company's confidence in a strong revenue runway for the long term, which we would discuss in detail in the subsequent sections.</p>\n<p><b>Private Commercial Full Revenue Service is Expected from Q3'CY22</b></p>\n<p>SPCE has since lost about 33% of its value since its earnings release on Aug 5, which we think is largely attributed to the near term headwinds resulting from its \"delay\" on commercial service launch as a result of proposed critical enhancements to VSS Unity and the mothership VMS Eve to increase their turnaround time between flights and maintenance significantly.</p>\n<p>As a result of the enhancements that would take place after the completion of Unity 23 revenue-generating flight with the Italian Air Force, the company expects to commence its private commercial full revenue service only from late Q3'CY22, which we think may have taken investors aback as while the market expected full commercial service to begin in 2022, they did not expect it to be as late as Q3.</p>\n<p>However, we think the market has once again chosen to focus on the uncertainty resulting from the near-term revenue service delay and ignore the importance of the enhancements that are expected to improve VMS Eve's turnaround time so significantly that Virgin Galactic emphasized:</p>\n<blockquote>\n These enhancements\n <i>could potentially allow Eve to fly 100 flights between major maintenance inspections</i>. This is up from the current interval of 10 flights between major inspections today. This will be an incredibly important success factor during the early commercial service period while we are in process of manufacturing additional motherships.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In addition, the company also highlighted that with the enhancements, the company is also \"targeting a reduced turnaround flight between Unity flights of 4 to 5 weeks, and that's down from what has at best, been 7 to 8 weeks for VSS Unity.\"</p>\n<p>The Street and the market were certainly disappointed with the announcement, as analysts cut near-term forecasts and downgraded ratings, and Morgan Stanley also emphasized: \"During this heavy maintenance period, Virgin Galactic will not be able to conduct any space flights until summer of 2022.\"</p>\n<p>Sure, no flights. We are certainly not concerned, as the company reiterated the significance of these enhancements:</p>\n<blockquote>\n These are reasonably robust modifications to Eve. But the reason we are taking the additional scope and the additional time for this enhancement period of Eve is because the flight rate that we will derive from Eve following this enhancement period is we plan to build that to effect. It's almost 10x greater between major inspections and what we've been doing now. That will give us an ability to fly Eve much more frequently, and\n <i>that's really important to our initial group of future astronauts as well as the people that we're going to be signing up starting today</i>.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p>If investors could clearly glean the language used by the company in the above sentence, the company is clearly doing it because they are expecting such a robust demand for its space flight services that we think may have exceeded what the company had initially planned for. So while the recent launch event with Sir Richard Branson was largely seen as a major PR coup, it certainly allowed the company to measure the response from interested customers, and the company has clearly indicated that they see such robust demand that they needed to open up a priority list as soon as possible as CEO Michael Colglazier articulated:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Leveraging the substantial demand we have seen to our website, I am pleased to announce that we will soon open a priority list for future space travelers who wish to be next in line.

Registration for this list will soon be made available on our website...We have an enormous amount of confidence in the total addressable market that's been kind of shown from the response to [Sir Richard Branson's] Unity 22. So we won't be absorbing all of it, but we do think we can make a major step forward here.\n</blockquote>\n<p>We are not sure what the market and other investors think. Still, the company needs to find a way to cope with the demand from what's obviously a heavily supply-constrained situation. The next best thing they would do in the near term is to make the necessary modifications to VMS Eve and VSS Unity to ensure these highly valued potential customers don't go knocking on the door of Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin (BORGN).</p>\n<p><b>Are There Really So Many Customers Who Couldn't Wait to Get On Board VSS Unity?</b></p>\n<p>Yes, it's pretty incredible to think that the company is expecting so many customers who couldn't wait to get on board. Lisa Rich, the Managing Partner at the venture capital firm Hemisphere Ventures, articulated: \"...I've met so many Virgin [Galactic] ticket&nbsp;holders over the years. And by the way, every one of them has told me that the $250,000 they've spent waiting has paid for itself 10 times over because of the experiences that they have shared over the years.\"</p>\n<p>Investors should clearly understand that the community of 600 future astronauts that have committed to Virgin Galactic's flight services formed a tight-knit group over the years as the company emphasized: \"I think one thing that probably [is] not well known outside of the existing future astronaut is one of the secret weapons of Virgin Galactic is our astronaut office. This is a group of people who have brought together these 600 people into a true community.\"</p>\n<p>The company emphasized that these customers really value the journey towards realizing the flight experience as these customers consider it a \"life-transitional journey.\" They see so much value in what Virgin Galactic is doing that the company emphasized that their customers consider joining the community that the company brought together is \"[a] top, top of mind [priority] and very powerful.\"</p>\n<p>Importantly, the company also highlighted that they have opened up ticket sales to their 1000-strong \"Spacefarer\" community who has signed up through the company's \"One Small Step\" program, with a price starting from $450K per seat, that's way higher than the $200K to $250K per seat that the initial 600 future astronauts signed up for.</p>\n<p>Virgin Galactic believes that these future astronauts are going to be the \"sales ambassadors\" for the company because of the experience of the strong and tight-knit astronaut community that the company has painstakingly built up: \"...And so I think you can think about lifetime value in several ways. One of them is as people move through being a future astronaut graduate into the astronaut community, I think they're going to come back, and I think it will just be very natural in how people will share the experience<b><i>.</i></b>And I think them sharing the experience will not only let people say how wonderful it was, but it will also bring normalcy to the concept of human spaceflight. So this group of people as we bring them in, the lifetime value is all-around demand and continuing to increase the total addressable market as they go out there and share what they've done.\"</p>\n<p><b>Strong Demand Justifies Rapid Scaling Up To Achieve Strong Operating Leverage</b></p>\n<p>Astute investors would clearly have recognized that if the company relied on just the fleet of VSS Unity or VSS Imagine to dominate the market for suborbital space tourism, it would have been largely insufficient.</p>\n<p>Based on the company's guidance and the Street's estimates, working through the company's initial community of 600 future astronauts would take a few years at least without the modifications to VMS Eve.</p>\n<p>The initial cadence (before modifications) for 2022 is a maximum of 10 revenue flights comprising 60 passengers in total. Moving on to 2023, the company could also only fly a maximum of 24 to 36 flights annually, which would allow them to fly a maximum of 144 to 216 astronauts. Thus, it may be at least another 2 years until 2025 before Virgin Galactic could start to work through the order book from the 1000 Spacefarer community, and we think by then, at least some of them would have gone over to Blue Origin. Therefore, the initial cadence really doesn't work, especially with the company preparing to draw up its priority list soon for the interest generated from the Unity 22 PR campaign, and they need to work through the 1,600 future astronauts fast, which in the near term would be solved by Eve's modifications since it allows SPCE to fly 10x more in between major inspections.</p>\n<p>However, the company still thinks that would still be insufficient to cater to the level of demand that they have been experiencing. As a result, they announced that they would be building their next-gen Delta class vehicles \"that are capable of turning on a 1-week interval.\" This class of ships is expected to form the majority of the company's future capacity over time.</p>\n<p>Part of the reason that the company needed to raise the&nbsp;$500M equity&nbsp;offering recently is that they are ready to start developing and build the Delta class vehicles that would be highly instrumental towards meeting their long term capacity and cadence, that VSS Unity and VSS Imagine would never be able to meet sufficiently.</p>\n<p>Crucially, the company highlighted that by ramping production and capacity through the Delta class, they would be able to achieve significant operating leverage as Virgin Galactic emphasized: \"...And that's why we're so focused on getting the Delta class with next generation of mothership. That's where we really get efficiency. That's where we get scale. That's where you'll really see the flow-through come because we'll have a fixed cost basis that is easy for us to communicate and easy for us to contribute the trade for efficiency down the road.\"</p>\n<p><b>Competing Against Blue Origin</b></p>\n<p>We think operating leverage will be the name of the game here, and Virgin Galactic clearly recognizes that it would be vital for the company to operate at a sufficient scale justified by its demand drivers to compete strongly against Blue Origin.</p>\n<p>While we don't think Blue Origin's main game is in suborbital space tourism, as Jeff Bezos also highlighted previously that: \"The architecture&nbsp;and the technology we have chosen is complete overkill for a suborbital tourism mission.”</p>\n<p>We think Blue Origin's main market certainly goes beyond suborbital space tourism that Morgan Stanley highlighted that \"Mr. Bezos’ company is seeking business in a space market that will triple in size to more than $1 trillion in annual sales by 2040, assuming rapid technological developments enable routine moon landings, asteroid mining and space tourism.\"</p>\n<p>Therefore, while Blue Origin focuses on building up its Space colonies' vision over the long term, we think they would most certainly be able to ramp their production quickly and gain significant operating leverage. The key is how those advantages translate to its suborbital space tourism segment in the near term would be key to determine Virgin Galactic's leadership.</p>\n<p>One thing is for sure. Both companies expect the price for the suborbital space tourism tickets to come down substantially over time as production scales up and technologies improve. Thus, the key for Virgin Galactic's leadership and survival in this market is to gain operating leverage as quickly as possible to build up those advantages while Blue Origin has its plate full with its various projects across the entire spectrum.</p>\n<p>Virgin Galactic wants to make suborbital space tourism much more accessible, and the key to achieving that is to drive prices down through operating leverage achieved by ramping up production. As a result, we think the company's Delta class plans are highly pivotal to Virgin Galactic's leadership against Blue Origin and highly encourage investors to keep their eyes closely focused on these plans.</p>\n<p><b>Free Cash Flow Forecast &amp; Valuations</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/48be5e8da375fdc72591e31b96a223f4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>EBITDA margin forecast &amp; CapEx margin forecast.

That's where you'll really see the flow-through come because we'll have a fixed cost basis that is easy for us to communicate and easy for us to contribute the trade for efficiency down the road.\"\nCompeting Against Blue Origin\nWe think operating leverage will be the name of the game here, and Virgin Galactic clearly recognizes that it would be vital for the company to operate at a sufficient scale justified by its demand drivers to compete strongly against Blue Origin.\nWhile we don't think Blue Origin's main game is in suborbital space tourism, as Jeff Bezos also highlighted previously that: \"The architecture and the technology we have chosen is complete overkill for a suborbital tourism mission.”\nWe think Blue Origin's main market certainly goes beyond suborbital space tourism that Morgan Stanley highlighted that \"Mr. Bezos’ company is seeking business in a space market that will triple in size to more than $1 trillion in annual sales by 2040, assuming rapid technological developments enable routine moon landings, asteroid mining and space tourism.\"\nTherefore, while Blue Origin focuses on building up its Space colonies' vision over the long term, we think they would most certainly be able to ramp their production quickly and gain significant operating leverage. The key is how those advantages translate to its suborbital space tourism segment in the near term would be key to determine Virgin Galactic's leadership.\nOne thing is for sure. Both companies expect the price for the suborbital space tourism tickets to come down substantially over time as production scales up and technologies improve. Thus, the key for Virgin Galactic's leadership and survival in this market is to gain operating leverage as quickly as possible to build up those advantages while Blue Origin has its plate full with its various projects across the entire spectrum.\nVirgin Galactic wants to make suborbital space tourism much more accessible, and the key to achieving that is to drive prices down through operating leverage achieved by ramping up production. As a result, we think the company's Delta class plans are highly pivotal to Virgin Galactic's leadership against Blue Origin and highly encourage investors to keep their eyes closely focused on these plans.\nFree Cash Flow Forecast & Valuations\nEBITDA margin forecast & CapEx margin forecast. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nEV / Fwd EBITDA trend. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nDespite the delay in launching full revenue service to Q3'22, the Street's estimates expect the company to be FCF profitable from the end of FY24. We think that's important as it demonstrates the long-term cash flow potential for the company's business in this market, where only BORGN and SPCE are the clear leaders right now.\nHowever, the valuations still look expensive at 18.5x by the end of 2030, 36% above its aerospace and defense peers comp set mean of 13.61x.\nStreet's mean price target. Source: TIKR\nThe Street is also not too optimistic, as the mean target price of $35.55 is a mere 13.5% above the last closing price, as analysts focused on SPCE's near term \"headwind\" of moving its revenue service to Q3'CY22, which we think is highly important to its long term competitive advantage.\nWhile we are really excited about the company's long-term prospects, as well as its ambition to bring suborbital space tourism to the world, we are not so sure about Virgin Galactic's expensively-looking valuation.\nSPCE Stock Price Action and Trend Analysis\nSource: TradingView\nWhile we don't think SPCE would be a suitable stock for long-term investors given its expensive valuation, we think position traders may still find an opportunity lurking around the horizon with this stock.\nSPCE is strongly supported along its 50-week moving average dynamic support level that has held strongly since 2020, including the recent false break to the downside (bear trap) it saw in May. Therefore, position traders keen to trade this stock may find an opportunity once the price action resolves itself in the next couple of weeks, we hope.\nIn summary, we assign a neutral rating to SPCE for long-term investors.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"SPCE":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":282,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
