While it may have yet to be EBIT profitable, the company is setting itself up to be the CPaaS leader with a top notch customer engagement platform, following its acquisition of the No.1 Customer Data Platform [CDP] in the world: Segment. Investors should understand by now that the secular tailwinds driving digitisation are not going to reverse, and therefore TWLO is in a prime position to benefit as the platform for the world on their customer engagement needs. Add on the impending deprecation of third-party cookies, companies would likely find TWLO even more important in their customer engagement efforts moving forward. At its current valuation, investors should find that TWLO may actually be valued at a discount to many of the stocks listed in the SaaS space.</p>\n<p><b>Twilio is Not your Typical SaaS Stock</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aec3449de8bbaa50dabd8b4343c41583\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>DBNER. Data source: Company filings</span></p>\n<p>Twilio’s value proposition as a CPaaS is unlike the typical SaaS company that makes the most of its revenue through recurring subscriptions, and increase or maintain their DBNER or DBNRR by cross-selling into other products or up-selling their customers by taking on more seats. TWLO’s revenue is mainly based on usage. Therefore the company makes more revenue when customers use its platform more, and make less when customers use it less. Therefore, because it’s based on usage we could easily determine the strength of its customers' usage simply by observing its DBNER trend.TWLO’s DBNER “increases when such Active Customer Accounts increase their usage of a product, extend their usage of a product to new applications or adopt a new product. Twilio’s Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate decreases when such Active Customer Accounts cease or reduce their usage of a product or when the Company lowers usage prices on a product.”</p>\n<p>Therefore, we could clearly observe from TWLO’s strong DBNER trend that its customers have been consistently increasing their net usage of its platform over the years, which actually already begun before COVID-19 hit. TWLO’s DBNER has been largely consistent as well and the company was also confident of achieving a normalized DBNER in the range of 130s moving forward.</p>\n<p>Moreover, the company has also highlighted that it continued to see increased use cases in its platform in many industries, and in particular in telehealth, which is another market that has been wrongly perceived to be only a COVID-19 phenomenon that has no sustainability. We have previously covered in a recent article on Teladoc (TDOC) on why telehealth’s rapid growth has begun well before the pandemic hit and is still very early in its growth phase as the market is expected to grow by more than 20% CAGR over the next 10 years. Therefore the secular tailwinds that are driving digitisation across many different industries would also drive increased business to TWLO as the market’s leading cloud communications and customer engagement platform.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32ecc737bf53e45f2b6a58e0d2121279\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"384\"><span>SaaS DBNER/DBNRR. Source: Atom Finance</span></p>\n<p>This is especially so when we look across the SaaS space. Investors would be hard-pressed to find many companies that boast a NRR that has been consistently above 130% like TWLO (median: 120%). Another company that also uses usage-based pricing: Snowflake (SNOW) had a NRR of 168% in the latest quarter. Investors may think that these companies that adopt usage-based pricing may suffer if their customers drop off their usage rates drastically. However, TWLO and SNOW have both proven that their platforms are so sticky and offer so much value that once you are on it, you would keep using it more and more over time, and also expand usage into new products. Therefore, this usage-based pricing model has an inherently powerful booster to the company’s topline as use-cases kept increasing, something that a typical subscription-based ARR model may not be able to replicate without a usage-based model.</p>\n<p><b>Market Truly Underestimated Segment's Acquisition</b></p>\n<p>In our opinion, we think the market really underplayed Segment’s acquisition for TWLO. First, Segment is the No.1 CDP worldwide ranked by IDC, so we think TWLO has done an amazing deal there. In fact, the company emphasized how important they thought the acquisition meant to them (emphasis by us):</p>\n<blockquote>\n We think the \n <b>industrial logic of Segment plus Twilio is just a -- it's not just a home run.It's a grand slam</b>. I think for us, having data capabilities married with communications capabilities is absolutely essential to deliver that rich customer experience.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Notwithstanding the significant dilution funded from the mostly equity deal, I think investors should understand the strategic importance of having the best-of-breed CDP in its portfolio, which is crucially important to TWLO’s underlying CPaaS offering as it now confers its customers the access to real-time analytics with a unified view across disparate systems.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7bfb70f9acdfe008ff26825a2894a4c7\" tg-width=\"879\" tg-height=\"544\"><span>Level of impact of CDP on success metrics. Data source: Advertiser Perceptions; Treasure Data</span></p>\n<p>We could observe from the above survey conducted with marketers across different industries on the profound impact of having a CDP in their marketing KPIs. The large majority of the respondents noted an improvement across all the metrics listed in this survey with a remarkably high percentage of the respondents (33% to 45%) indicating “significant improvement” in the respective categories.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b908f65bb3623fd3ba2b147e803f8e7\" tg-width=\"841\" tg-height=\"520\"><span>Benefits of CDP according to marketing technology decision makers. Data source: Advertiser Perceptions; UniFida</span></p>\n<p>In addition, 49% of the respondents also indicated that the CDP allowed them to unify data across multiple sources, which they regarded as the most important benefit. Twilio also highlighted the importance of this as it added that “consumers are no longer tied to just one form of communication, and they expect companies to pull together disparate interactions to deliver increasingly personalized content based on what they’re doing -- anytime, anywhere, and over their preferred channels.”</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebc20b41946569e8afa10fb1ef39a90f\" tg-width=\"1262\" tg-height=\"768\"><span>Measures undertaken by marketers from the U.S. to counter the impact of the deprecation of third-party cookies. Data source: Epsilon; Adweek; Phronesis Partners</span></p>\n<p>Moreover, with the impending deprecation of third-party cookies, marketers have been looking for ways to cushion the impact of this loss, and the majority of them (67.3%) have been building a CDP. CDPs primarily collects and use first-party data, which is really the most important sources of customer data as it offers the most accurate and actionable insights, and also the one that is least vulnerable to privacy regulations, a point that was also acknowledged by TWLO when asked whether TWLO saw any tailwind on privacy regulations due to its first-party data access, of which the company replied:</p>\n<blockquote>\n 100%. I think you hit the nail on that actually and effectively answered your own question. I think they're very much on the right side of this. I mean they are very, very strong data stewards. They're kind of a privacy-first company. I think even in the EU, some of the trends in geodynamics also play in their favor. And so I do think data and data regulations is a potential tailwind for them, yes.\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34f2d9eb714512b81b6ae70b957a82d4\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Share of organizations collaborating with others to share first-party data in the U.S. Data source: Winterberry Group; LiveRamp</span></p>\n<p>In order to further underscore the importance of first-party data, we could see that 64.3% of companies had collaborative arrangements to share first-party data while 16.7% had plans to do so. In a post-cookie world, I believe organizations would even need to be more proactive in its data gathering and analytics efforts, and having a CDP like Segment to help in this would be absolutely critical.</p>\n<p><b>Yes, We Know That The Company Is Still Unprofitable</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3be2871e7911997921fe11150b8d0e30\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"734\"><span>EBIT margin, SG&A margin, R&D margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>Nevertheless, investors should be reminded that TWLO has yet to turn an operating profit, even though the company has guided to a long term operating margin of 28% over time. Investors should understand that TWLO would also not be expected to turn an operating profit anytime soon as the company is still in a heavy investment mode (as seen in its high SG&A and R&D margins) as it sees a lot of opportunities to invest and also possibly acquire, where it had made a number of high profile acquisitions such as Segment, ValueFirst, Syniverse, Zipwhip among others. The company strongly emphasized this point:</p>\n<blockquote>\n But that doesn't mean that we won't be profitable, can't be profitable. I mean, we're growing at very elevated levels, certainly better than our corporate average, if you will. It's just that the rest of our business is growing really fast, right? So for it to really show up in our financials, based on our current trajectory, something else would have to slow down, which is not what we want. It's not what you want. It's not what anybody wants really, right? So I think in due course, all these things will happen.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Therefore, TWLO investors are asked to demonstrate lots of patience, give time for TWLO to grow into its profitability and allow them to continue scaling up its revenue growth first. Consensus estimates see the company continuing to grow rapidly at about 44.5% YoY for FY 21 and also above 30% YoY subsequently. TWLO has also committed to grow its revenue above 30% for the next four years, so investors need to give TWLO time to deliver the goods, and this stock is therefore not for short term investors who are looking for a 2 to 3 year horizon, or a company that is prioritizing profitability over growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1059052c9408212d41ace9bed94cdd4a\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"698\"><span>Revenue metrics.

Data source: S&P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>When we consider TWLO’s EV / FY+1 multiple of 20.6x against the SaaS median of 26.3x, it may be reasonably argued that TWLO doesn’t look expensive. It’s also important to note that TWLO is also expected to grow rapidly where we expect to see its multiple fall significantly over time (assuming its EV stays constant, which of course will unlikely to be the case if TWLO continues to deliver its high growth strategies). We are pretty sure that there are many more companies within the SaaS space that are valued at a much higher premium and yet with a slower expected revenue growth profile.</p>\n<p><b>Price Action and Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f626c7ad165f68d36e614c8163606c2f\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"838\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>We think that TWLO has a generally strong long term uptrend bias that was only interrupted once by the COVID-19 bear market over the last 3 years. The price recently found support along the 50W moving average at around $300 and the price has since gradually continued to recover from its recent slump.</p>\n<p>Although we would prefer to add more positions near the $300 support level, we don’t think the current price level is expensive either, and think that investors may consider initiating or adding on to their positions at the current price level.

While it may have yet to be EBIT profitable, the company is setting itself up to be the CPaaS leader with a top notch customer engagement platform, following its acquisition of the No.1 Customer Data Platform [CDP] in the world: Segment. Investors should understand by now that the secular tailwinds driving digitisation are not going to reverse, and therefore TWLO is in a prime position to benefit as the platform for the world on their customer engagement needs. Add on the impending deprecation of third-party cookies, companies would likely find TWLO even more important in their customer engagement efforts moving forward. At its current valuation, investors should find that TWLO may actually be valued at a discount to many of the stocks listed in the SaaS space.\nTwilio is Not your Typical SaaS Stock\nDBNER. Data source: Company filings\nTwilio’s value proposition as a CPaaS is unlike the typical SaaS company that makes the most of its revenue through recurring subscriptions, and increase or maintain their DBNER or DBNRR by cross-selling into other products or up-selling their customers by taking on more seats. TWLO’s revenue is mainly based on usage. Therefore the company makes more revenue when customers use its platform more, and make less when customers use it less. Therefore, because it’s based on usage we could easily determine the strength of its customers' usage simply by observing its DBNER trend.TWLO’s DBNER “increases when such Active Customer Accounts increase their usage of a product, extend their usage of a product to new applications or adopt a new product. Twilio’s Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate decreases when such Active Customer Accounts cease or reduce their usage of a product or when the Company lowers usage prices on a product.”\nTherefore, we could clearly observe from TWLO’s strong DBNER trend that its customers have been consistently increasing their net usage of its platform over the years, which actually already begun before COVID-19 hit. TWLO’s DBNER has been largely consistent as well and the company was also confident of achieving a normalized DBNER in the range of 130s moving forward.\nMoreover, the company has also highlighted that it continued to see increased use cases in its platform in many industries, and in particular in telehealth, which is another market that has been wrongly perceived to be only a COVID-19 phenomenon that has no sustainability. We have previously covered in a recent article on Teladoc (TDOC) on why telehealth’s rapid growth has begun well before the pandemic hit and is still very early in its growth phase as the market is expected to grow by more than 20% CAGR over the next 10 years. Therefore the secular tailwinds that are driving digitisation across many different industries would also drive increased business to TWLO as the market’s leading cloud communications and customer engagement platform.\nSaaS DBNER/DBNRR. Source: Atom Finance\nThis is especially so when we look across the SaaS space. Investors would be hard-pressed to find many companies that boast a NRR that has been consistently above 130% like TWLO (median: 120%). Another company that also uses usage-based pricing: Snowflake (SNOW) had a NRR of 168% in the latest quarter. Investors may think that these companies that adopt usage-based pricing may suffer if their customers drop off their usage rates drastically. However, TWLO and SNOW have both proven that their platforms are so sticky and offer so much value that once you are on it, you would keep using it more and more over time, and also expand usage into new products. Therefore, this usage-based pricing model has an inherently powerful booster to the company’s topline as use-cases kept increasing, something that a typical subscription-based ARR model may not be able to replicate without a usage-based model.\nMarket Truly Underestimated Segment's Acquisition\nIn our opinion, we think the market really underplayed Segment’s acquisition for TWLO. First, Segment is the No.1 CDP worldwide ranked by IDC, so we think TWLO has done an amazing deal there. In fact, the company emphasized how important they thought the acquisition meant to them (emphasis by us):\n\n We think the \n industrial logic of Segment plus Twilio is just a -- it's not just a home run.It's a grand slam. I think for us, having data capabilities married with communications capabilities is absolutely essential to deliver that rich customer experience.\n\nNotwithstanding the significant dilution funded from the mostly equity deal, I think investors should understand the strategic importance of having the best-of-breed CDP in its portfolio, which is crucially important to TWLO’s underlying CPaaS offering as it now confers its customers the access to real-time analytics with a unified view across disparate systems.\nLevel of impact of CDP on success metrics. Data source: Advertiser Perceptions; Treasure Data\nWe could observe from the above survey conducted with marketers across different industries on the profound impact of having a CDP in their marketing KPIs. The large majority of the respondents noted an improvement across all the metrics listed in this survey with a remarkably high percentage of the respondents (33% to 45%) indicating “significant improvement” in the respective categories.\nBenefits of CDP according to marketing technology decision makers. Data source: Advertiser Perceptions; UniFida\nIn addition, 49% of the respondents also indicated that the CDP allowed them to unify data across multiple sources, which they regarded as the most important benefit. Twilio also highlighted the importance of this as it added that “consumers are no longer tied to just one form of communication, and they expect companies to pull together disparate interactions to deliver increasingly personalized content based on what they’re doing -- anytime, anywhere, and over their preferred channels.”\nMeasures undertaken by marketers from the U.S. to counter the impact of the deprecation of third-party cookies. Data source: Epsilon; Adweek; Phronesis Partners\nMoreover, with the impending deprecation of third-party cookies, marketers have been looking for ways to cushion the impact of this loss, and the majority of them (67.3%) have been building a CDP. CDPs primarily collects and use first-party data, which is really the most important sources of customer data as it offers the most accurate and actionable insights, and also the one that is least vulnerable to privacy regulations, a point that was also acknowledged by TWLO when asked whether TWLO saw any tailwind on privacy regulations due to its first-party data access, of which the company replied:\n\n 100%. I think you hit the nail on that actually and effectively answered your own question. I think they're very much on the right side of this. I mean they are very, very strong data stewards. They're kind of a privacy-first company. I think even in the EU, some of the trends in geodynamics also play in their favor. And so I do think data and data regulations is a potential tailwind for them, yes.\n\nShare of organizations collaborating with others to share first-party data in the U.S. Data source: Winterberry Group; LiveRamp\nIn order to further underscore the importance of first-party data, we could see that 64.3% of companies had collaborative arrangements to share first-party data while 16.7% had plans to do so. In a post-cookie world, I believe organizations would even need to be more proactive in its data gathering and analytics efforts, and having a CDP like Segment to help in this would be absolutely critical.\nYes, We Know That The Company Is Still Unprofitable\nEBIT margin, SG&A margin, R&D margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nNevertheless, investors should be reminded that TWLO has yet to turn an operating profit, even though the company has guided to a long term operating margin of 28% over time. Investors should understand that TWLO would also not be expected to turn an operating profit anytime soon as the company is still in a heavy investment mode (as seen in its high SG&A and R&D margins) as it sees a lot of opportunities to invest and also possibly acquire, where it had made a number of high profile acquisitions such as Segment, ValueFirst, Syniverse, Zipwhip among others. The company strongly emphasized this point:\n\n But that doesn't mean that we won't be profitable, can't be profitable. I mean, we're growing at very elevated levels, certainly better than our corporate average, if you will. It's just that the rest of our business is growing really fast, right? So for it to really show up in our financials, based on our current trajectory, something else would have to slow down, which is not what we want. It's not what you want. It's not what anybody wants really, right? So I think in due course, all these things will happen.\n\nTherefore, TWLO investors are asked to demonstrate lots of patience, give time for TWLO to grow into its profitability and allow them to continue scaling up its revenue growth first. Consensus estimates see the company continuing to grow rapidly at about 44.5% YoY for FY 21 and also above 30% YoY subsequently. TWLO has also committed to grow its revenue above 30% for the next four years, so investors need to give TWLO time to deliver the goods, and this stock is therefore not for short term investors who are looking for a 2 to 3 year horizon, or a company that is prioritizing profitability over growth.\nRevenue metrics. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nValuations\nSaaS EV / 2021 Rev.\nTWLO EV / Fwd Rev. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWhen we consider TWLO’s EV / FY+1 multiple of 20.6x against the SaaS median of 26.3x, it may be reasonably argued that TWLO doesn’t look expensive. It’s also important to note that TWLO is also expected to grow rapidly where we expect to see its multiple fall significantly over time (assuming its EV stays constant, which of course will unlikely to be the case if TWLO continues to deliver its high growth strategies). We are pretty sure that there are many more companies within the SaaS space that are valued at a much higher premium and yet with a slower expected revenue growth profile.\nPrice Action and Technical Analysis\n\nWe think that TWLO has a generally strong long term uptrend bias that was only interrupted once by the COVID-19 bear market over the last 3 years. The price recently found support along the 50W moving average at around $300 and the price has since gradually continued to recover from its recent slump.\nAlthough we would prefer to add more positions near the $300 support level, we don’t think the current price level is expensive either, and think that investors may consider initiating or adding on to their positions at the current price level. They should however avoid adding near the $405 level as we believe that there should be near term resistance at that level. In addition, for investors who would prefer somewhat of a slight bargain, you may wait till the next retracement to test the 50W support again, of which a $320 level to add is also possible.\nWrapping It All Up\nTwilio is a very high growth stock that has made revenue growth its most important priority right now as it sees tremendous growth opportunities ahead. Investors are asked to give TWLO time to grow into its expected long term profitability as the company sets itself up to be the leading player in the cloud communications and customer engagement space for companies across multiple industries.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":695,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108532263,"gmtCreate":1620039664452,"gmtModify":1631890565775,"author":{"id":"3574772553430673","authorId":"3574772553430673","name":"Nickmons","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c2f756e4895fc35fdbf6ea956e949e5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574772553430673","authorIdStr":"3574772553430673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bull market dor this month..","listText":"Bull market dor this month..","text":"Bull market dor this month..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/108532263","repostId":"1150131567","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":648,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":103810089,"gmtCreate":1619765376941,"gmtModify":1631890565775,"author":{"id":"3574772553430673","authorId":"3574772553430673","name":"Nickmons","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c2f756e4895fc35fdbf6ea956e949e5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574772553430673","authorIdStr":"3574772553430673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/103810089","repostId":"1110240077","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110240077","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619764015,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1110240077?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-30 14:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"With Antitrust Case in Rear-View Mirror, Alibaba Investors Can Relax","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110240077","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"BABA stock has struggled to move up, but patience will be rewarded in time\nRemember the good old day","content":"<p>BABA stock has struggled to move up, but patience will be rewarded in time</p>\n<p>Remember the good old days of 2014 when the initial public offering (IPO) of <b>Alibaba</b> (NYSE:<b><u>BABA</u></b>) produced a darling of the markets? That was a very different time, and today there are some frustrated BABA stock holders.</p>\n<p>It hasn’t always been easy to stay the course with Alibaba. Many traders have had to learn the hard way that investing in Chinese businesses isn’t the same as owning American stocks.</p>\n<p>That’s because the Chinese government, in some ways, has an iron grip on the nation’s businesses. If you’re going to own BABA stock, you’ll definitely need to accept this and get used to it.</p>\n<p>However, if you’re willing to keep tabs on China’s tough regulatory policy enforcement – and if you continue to see value in the company that Jack Ma co-founded– then your investment in Alibaba might be worth holding on to.</p>\n<p><b>A Closer Look at BABA Stock</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, long-term BABA stock investors had to endure some lengthy, lackluster stretches of time.</p>\n<p>I’m specifically thinking of 2015 to 2016, and then again from mid-2018 to mid-2019, when the stock just went nowhere.</p>\n<p>But then, there were the times when the stock rallied sharply, rewarding patient investors. A case in point would be the rebound starting in March 2020. That run-up took the Alibaba share price from $180 to a 52-week high of $319.32 in October.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the run-up couldn’t last forever and BABA stock retreated in November and December. And so far in 2021, the buyers can’t seem to generate much enthusiasm.</p>\n<p>The stock recently was trading around $234, which is neither very high nor very low on a historic basis.</p>\n<p>One thing that’s working in the investors’ favor is the stock’s seemingly reasonable valuation. On a trailing 12-month basis, Alibaba has a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.08.</p>\n<p>In other words, BABA stock might not be running at full steam yet, but it should appeal to bargain hunters.</p>\n<p><b>Long Arm of the Law</b></p>\n<p>Trying to fight the government – any government – is a tough battle to win. In China, it’s probably impossible.</p>\n<p>Ma found this out the hard way in late 2020. While Chinese fintech firm <b>Ant Group</b> (which was founded by Ma) was preparing its IPO, Ma said that in China, banks still operate with a strong “pawnshop” mentality. (These are largely state-owned banks, by the way.)</p>\n<p>It’s not entirely clear whether that comment and/or other verbal barbs led to Ma’s disappearance for several months. Thankfully, he reappeared in January of 2021, evidently alive and healthy.</p>\n<p>Yet, the damage had already been done. Chinese authorities had pulled the plug on the Ant Group IPOin his absence, while reports surfaced of a sweeping anti-monopoly probe in China, with Alibaba being a potential target.</p>\n<p>Evidently, it’s all part of a broader governmental push to regulate China’s technology giants. And of course, few if any Chinese giants are a bigger target than Alibaba.</p>\n<p><b>This Fine Is Just Fine</b></p>\n<p>Much of the uninspiring price action in BABA stock can probably be attributed to the market holding its breath and waiting for the Chinese government to take action against Alibaba.</p>\n<p>After all, if there’s one thing that the market can’t stand, it’s uncertainty.</p>\n<p>I’m glad to report, however, that the uncertainty has cleared as Chinese authorities finally decided how to punish Alibaba.</p>\n<p>Make no mistake – they definitely made an example of Alibaba.

That was a very different time, and today there are some frustrated BABA stock holders.\nIt hasn’t always been easy to stay the course with Alibaba. Many traders have had to learn the hard way that investing in Chinese businesses isn’t the same as owning American stocks.\nThat’s because the Chinese government, in some ways, has an iron grip on the nation’s businesses. If you’re going to own BABA stock, you’ll definitely need to accept this and get used to it.\nHowever, if you’re willing to keep tabs on China’s tough regulatory policy enforcement – and if you continue to see value in the company that Jack Ma co-founded– then your investment in Alibaba might be worth holding on to.\nA Closer Look at BABA Stock\nAdmittedly, long-term BABA stock investors had to endure some lengthy, lackluster stretches of time.\nI’m specifically thinking of 2015 to 2016, and then again from mid-2018 to mid-2019, when the stock just went nowhere.\nBut then, there were the times when the stock rallied sharply, rewarding patient investors. A case in point would be the rebound starting in March 2020. That run-up took the Alibaba share price from $180 to a 52-week high of $319.32 in October.\nUnfortunately, the run-up couldn’t last forever and BABA stock retreated in November and December. And so far in 2021, the buyers can’t seem to generate much enthusiasm.\nThe stock recently was trading around $234, which is neither very high nor very low on a historic basis.\nOne thing that’s working in the investors’ favor is the stock’s seemingly reasonable valuation. On a trailing 12-month basis, Alibaba has a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.08.\nIn other words, BABA stock might not be running at full steam yet, but it should appeal to bargain hunters.\nLong Arm of the Law\nTrying to fight the government – any government – is a tough battle to win. In China, it’s probably impossible.\nMa found this out the hard way in late 2020. While Chinese fintech firm Ant Group (which was founded by Ma) was preparing its IPO, Ma said that in China, banks still operate with a strong “pawnshop” mentality. (These are largely state-owned banks, by the way.)\nIt’s not entirely clear whether that comment and/or other verbal barbs led to Ma’s disappearance for several months. Thankfully, he reappeared in January of 2021, evidently alive and healthy.\nYet, the damage had already been done. Chinese authorities had pulled the plug on the Ant Group IPOin his absence, while reports surfaced of a sweeping anti-monopoly probe in China, with Alibaba being a potential target.\nEvidently, it’s all part of a broader governmental push to regulate China’s technology giants. And of course, few if any Chinese giants are a bigger target than Alibaba.\nThis Fine Is Just Fine\nMuch of the uninspiring price action in BABA stock can probably be attributed to the market holding its breath and waiting for the Chinese government to take action against Alibaba.\nAfter all, if there’s one thing that the market can’t stand, it’s uncertainty.\nI’m glad to report, however, that the uncertainty has cleared as Chinese authorities finally decided how to punish Alibaba.\nMake no mistake – they definitely made an example of Alibaba. Specifically, the regulators hit Alibaba with a $2.8 billion fine.\nAnd with that, Alibaba pledged to “to better carry out its social responsibilities.”\nAlong with the fine having been imposed, as InvestorPlace contributor Muslim Farooque points out, Alibaba has lost its ability to strike exclusive contracts with major brands.\nOf course, none of this will pose any major threat to Alibaba. Millions of shoppers will continue to use its platform, and Alibaba will continue to generate ungodly amounts of money.\nThe Bottom Line\nMaybe $2.8 billion was a slap on the wrist, or maybe it wasn’t. I’ll leave that debate to the social media pundits.\nAs for BABA stock, I feel it’s best to remember that the market has short-term memory loss, and a short attention span.\nAnd so, the memory of this strange episode will pass and in time – probably sooner rather than later – the market will learn to love Alibaba once again.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":532,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350358505,"gmtCreate":1616162411707,"gmtModify":1631890565786,"author":{"id":"3574772553430673","authorId":"3574772553430673","name":"Nickmons","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c2f756e4895fc35fdbf6ea956e949e5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574772553430673","authorIdStr":"3574772553430673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/350358505","repostId":"1190757715","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190757715","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616161968,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1190757715?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-19 21:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"1 Stock Warren Buffett and Cathie Wood Have in Common and 1 They Should","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190757715","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It might be a surprise to find out that two investors with virtually opposite approaches -- one who ","content":"<p>It might be a surprise to find out that two investors with virtually opposite approaches -- one who invests in large, cheap, iconic companies and the other who rose to fame on the heels of her outlandishly bullish (and accurate) predictions about \"overvalued\" stocks -- would have the same company in their portfolios. Perhaps the bigger surprise is the stock you might expect them to both own that they don't. Let's take a look at the two companies in question and what these successful investors must see.</p><p><b>The surprising stock they both own</b></p><p>First, it's doubtful that Warren Buffett actually bought<b>Snowflake</b>(NYSE:SNOW), the cloud data warehouse-as-a-service company. In recent years, lieutenants Todd Combs and Ted Weschler have been making more of the investment decisions, and the $750 million in stock<b>BerkshireHathaway</b>(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)purchased before theinitial public offering (IPO)certainly doesn't match the investment style of the legendary nonagenarian. In fact, Buffett hasn't bought an IPO since<b>Ford</b> in 1956. The company does fit the style of Cathie Wood at ARK Invest, a global asset management company focused on disruptive innovation. That said, Snowflake is putting up numbers that would get any investor's attention.</p><p>The company recently reported its full fiscal year earnings, and the growth was jaw-dropping. Fourth-quarter revenue of $178 million was up 116% year over year. Topping that, remaining performance obligations, what customers have signed on to buy, was up 213% over the same point last year. The company has 77 customers that spend more than $1 million per year. That number is up from 65 just three months earlier. Management is projecting between 92% and 96% revenue growth for the current year. Snowflake posted an operating margin of negative 92%. Losing money never sounds good, but that is closer to profitability than the negative 135% for the year ending January 2020 or the negative 192% in 2019. If the company really wanted to turn a profit it could just curb its spending on sales and marketing.</p><p>It may not be a typical Buffett stock, but Snowflake definitely fits the mold of Wood's investments. The ARK founder has become synonymous with innovation, building a portfolio around futuristic themes such as genomics, space exploration, mobility-as-a-service, and the next-generation internet. It's the last theme, encompassing artificial intelligence and cloud computing, where Snowflake fits. The company's pay-as-you-consume, real-time access to data and analytical tools is a giant leap forward compared to the slow, bogged-down daily or weekly updates companies have long come to accept with managing their internal data warehouses.</p><p>Another stock in ARK's portfolio touches both the data-related and genomic revolution strategy. Based on his other holdings, it's actually surprising Buffett doesn't own it too.</p><p><b>The surprising stock they don't both own</b></p><p>The Oracle of Omaha has been buying up the stocks of pharmaceutical companies in the past year. In the third quarter of 2020 he added shares of<b>Pfizer</b>(NYSE:PFE),<b>AbbVie</b>(NYSE:ABBV),<b>Merck</b>(NYSE:MRK), and<b>BristolMyersSquibb</b>(NYSE:BMY). Every member of that group gives investors between 3% and 5% in dividends annually. Other than Bristol Myers, they all hover around a $200 billion market cap as well, and Bristol Myers is nearly as large at $136 billion. Similarly,<b>Novartis</b>(NYSE:NVS)is a $211 billion company yielding 3.8%. Perhaps the reason Buffett hasn't bought this big pharma stock is that it is a Swiss company. It turns out, Buffett favors American brands in food, cola, and apparently drugmakers.</p><p>Novartis did catch the eye of Wood, thanks to its work toward developing a leading digital and data science platform for drug discovery. Although it isn't a pure play on any of ARK's strategies, Wood considers it a deep value pick, to be held through a bull market and then sold in times of volatility to add to higher-conviction growth names that get beaten down.</p><p><b>Portfolio juxtaposition</b></p><p>It may be counterintuitive for an investor who prides himself on unemotional investing to buy into one of the hottest IPOs of last year, but once Snowflake started trading, the investment doubled almost immediately. Similarly, few would think someone famous for a $4,000 price target on<b>Tesla</b>and presentations that literally map out the future of entire industries would own a nearly 4% dividend paying pharmaceutical company with no growth. However, there is a great lesson in these examples.</p><p>Don't settle for the labels Wall Street places on companies or investors. Value and growth are just words. Investors may have tendencies that define them in the public eye, but that oversimplification may obscure the characteristics that draw their interest in an investment. Although Buffett likely didn't buy shares of Snowflake, it may have been the customer loyalty, leadership team, and consistent march toward profitability that made Combs or Weschler comfortable buying Snowflake shares. Wood may have a lot of fast-growing companies that don't make a profit, but it's the innovation that compels her to invest, not just growth rate. In the case of Novartis, innovation came in the form of a mega-cap pharmaceutical company.</p><p>Instead of focusing on the labels Wall Street slaps on a company or following Warren Buffett or Cathie Wood into the stock, try to identify the characteristics of the business that they find compelling. Try approaching the company as if you were going to inherit it, learning how dedicated customers are, where money gets spent to attract new ones, or what advantages it has over competitors.

The more we know about a company, the easier it is to figure out whether the nextsell-off is something to fear or a great opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":695,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326601968,"gmtCreate":1615622886054,"gmtModify":1703491720753,"author":{"id":"3574772553430673","authorId":"3574772553430673","name":"Nickmons","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c2f756e4895fc35fdbf6ea956e949e5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574772553430673","authorIdStr":"3574772553430673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bullish ahead Tesla bearish?","listText":"Bullish ahead Tesla bearish?","text":"Bullish ahead Tesla bearish?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/326601968","repostId":"2118912950","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":731,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":320597978,"gmtCreate":1615134535594,"gmtModify":1703484928822,"author":{"id":"3574772553430673","authorId":"3574772553430673","name":"Nickmons","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c2f756e4895fc35fdbf6ea956e949e5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574772553430673","authorIdStr":"3574772553430673"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"BeArish?","listText":"BeArish?","text":"BeArish?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/320597978","repostId":"1116031861","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116031861","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"为用户提供金融资讯、行情、数据，旨在帮助投资者理解世界，做投资决策。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"老虎资讯综合","id":"102","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1614955424,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1116031861?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-05 22:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Senseonics plunged more than 9%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116031861","media":"老虎资讯综合","summary":"(March 5) Senseonics plunged more than 9%.

AMD shifted to a fabless semiconductor business in March 2009 by spinning off its factories into a joint venture called GlobalFoundries.</p>\n<p><b>Chief Executive Lisa Su Making A Difference</b></p>\n<p>Current Chief Executive Lisa Su took the reins in October 2014. She shepherded the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company into a new era with its Ryzen PC processors and Epyc server chips in 2017.</p>\n<p>Under her supervision, AMD jumped ahead of Intel in making CPUs at smaller node sizes, giving its products an edge in speed and performance. AMD is making chips at 7-nanometer scale, while Intel has struggled to make chips at 10-nanometer scale. AMD is now developing chips at 5-nanometer scale. Circuit widths on chips are measured in nanometers, which are one-billionth of a meter.</p>\n<p>On July 23,Intel announced a six-month delayin production of its already behind-schedule 7-nanometer processors. Intel now expects to ship its first 7-nanometer processors in late 2022 or early 2023. By that time, AMD could be making 3-nanometer processors, analysts said.</p>\n<p>The situation has helped AMD take market share from Intel in PCs and servers. Those gains have buoyed AMD stock.</p>\n<p>Chip foundry <b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b>(TSM) produces AMD's chips.</p>\n<p>Su also is overseeing a potentially transformative acquisition. On Oct. 27, AMD announced an all-stock deal worth $35 billion to buy<b>Xilinx</b>(XLNX) to expand its growing data-center business. However, AMD stock fell on theXilinx acquisition news. Critics said the acquisition complicates AMD's \"clean\" investor story around market share gains in processors.</p>\n<p><b>Intel Losing Market Share To AMD</b></p>\n<p>In the fourth quarter, Intel regained market share from AMD in CPUs for desktop and notebook PCs, according to Mercury Research. That ended a three-year streak of market share gains by AMD in the PC segment on a quarter-to-quarter basis. AMD also suffered supply constraints with its contract manufacturer in the period.</p>\n<p>AMD's unit share of desktop PC processor sales was 19.3% in the fourth quarter, down from 20.1% in the third quarter. However, it was up from 18.3% in the year-earlier period.</p>\n<p>AMD's unit share of notebook PC processor sales was 19% in the December quarter, down from 20.2% in the September quarter. But it was up from 16.2% in the year-earlier period.</p>\n<p>However, AMD continued to gain share in CPUs for servers during the fourth quarter. Its server CPU market share was 7.1% in the December quarter. That compares with 6.6% in the September quarter and 4.5% in the year-earlier quarter, Mercury said.</p>\n<p><b>Advanced Micro Devices News: New PC, Gaming Chips</b></p>\n<p>On Oct. 8, AMD introduced its next-generation Ryzen processors for desktop computers. It described itsRyzen 5000 series central processing unitsas the \"fastest gaming CPUs in the world.\" The Ryzen 5000 series products are aimed at PC gamers and content creators.</p>\n<p>On Jan. 12, during a keynote speech at the virtual CES 2021 tech conference, Chief Executive Su introduced the company's newRyzen 5000 Series mobile processors. She called the chips \"the most powerful PC processors ever built for ultrathin and gaming notebooks.\" However, AMD stock fell 2% that day.</p>\n<p>The next potential catalyst for AMD stock will be March 3. On that date, AMD plans to introduce the newest addition to its Radeon RX family of high-performance graphic cards.</p>\n<p><b>AMD Fundamental Analysis</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c60b5a17f32fbcdbeaf44cd79b85591\" tg-width=\"818\" tg-height=\"418\">Late Jan. 26,AMD reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results, thanks to strong demand for PC, gaming and data center products. But AMD stock fell 6.2% the next day.</p>\n<p>AMD earned an adjusted 52 cents a share on sales of $3.24 billion in the December quarter. Analysts expected AMD earnings of 47 cents a share on sales of $3.02 billion. On a year-over-year basis, AMD earnings rose 63% while sales climbed 53%.</p>\n<p>For the current quarter, AMD expects to generate revenue of $3.2 billion, up 79% from the year-earlier period.

AMD shifted to a fabless semiconductor business in March 2009 by spinning off its factories into a joint venture called GlobalFoundries.\nChief Executive Lisa Su Making A Difference\nCurrent Chief Executive Lisa Su took the reins in October 2014. She shepherded the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company into a new era with its Ryzen PC processors and Epyc server chips in 2017.\nUnder her supervision, AMD jumped ahead of Intel in making CPUs at smaller node sizes, giving its products an edge in speed and performance. AMD is making chips at 7-nanometer scale, while Intel has struggled to make chips at 10-nanometer scale. AMD is now developing chips at 5-nanometer scale. Circuit widths on chips are measured in nanometers, which are one-billionth of a meter.\nOn July 23,Intel announced a six-month delayin production of its already behind-schedule 7-nanometer processors. Intel now expects to ship its first 7-nanometer processors in late 2022 or early 2023. By that time, AMD could be making 3-nanometer processors, analysts said.\nThe situation has helped AMD take market share from Intel in PCs and servers. Those gains have buoyed AMD stock.\nChip foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM) produces AMD's chips.\nSu also is overseeing a potentially transformative acquisition. On Oct. 27, AMD announced an all-stock deal worth $35 billion to buyXilinx(XLNX) to expand its growing data-center business. However, AMD stock fell on theXilinx acquisition news. Critics said the acquisition complicates AMD's \"clean\" investor story around market share gains in processors.\nIntel Losing Market Share To AMD\nIn the fourth quarter, Intel regained market share from AMD in CPUs for desktop and notebook PCs, according to Mercury Research. That ended a three-year streak of market share gains by AMD in the PC segment on a quarter-to-quarter basis. AMD also suffered supply constraints with its contract manufacturer in the period.\nAMD's unit share of desktop PC processor sales was 19.3% in the fourth quarter, down from 20.1% in the third quarter. However, it was up from 18.3% in the year-earlier period.\nAMD's unit share of notebook PC processor sales was 19% in the December quarter, down from 20.2% in the September quarter. But it was up from 16.2% in the year-earlier period.\nHowever, AMD continued to gain share in CPUs for servers during the fourth quarter. Its server CPU market share was 7.1% in the December quarter. That compares with 6.6% in the September quarter and 4.5% in the year-earlier quarter, Mercury said.\nAdvanced Micro Devices News: New PC, Gaming Chips\nOn Oct. 8, AMD introduced its next-generation Ryzen processors for desktop computers. It described itsRyzen 5000 series central processing unitsas the \"fastest gaming CPUs in the world.\" The Ryzen 5000 series products are aimed at PC gamers and content creators.\nOn Jan. 12, during a keynote speech at the virtual CES 2021 tech conference, Chief Executive Su introduced the company's newRyzen 5000 Series mobile processors. She called the chips \"the most powerful PC processors ever built for ultrathin and gaming notebooks.\" However, AMD stock fell 2% that day.\nThe next potential catalyst for AMD stock will be March 3. On that date, AMD plans to introduce the newest addition to its Radeon RX family of high-performance graphic cards.\nAMD Fundamental Analysis\nLate Jan. 26,AMD reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results, thanks to strong demand for PC, gaming and data center products. But AMD stock fell 6.2% the next day.\nAMD earned an adjusted 52 cents a share on sales of $3.24 billion in the December quarter. Analysts expected AMD earnings of 47 cents a share on sales of $3.02 billion. On a year-over-year basis, AMD earnings rose 63% while sales climbed 53%.\nFor the current quarter, AMD expects to generate revenue of $3.2 billion, up 79% from the year-earlier period. Wall Street analysts predicted AMD sales of $2.73 billion in the first quarter.\nFor the full year, AMD expects sales to rise 37% to $13.38 billion. Analysts had been looking for 2021 revenue of $12.24 billion.\nAt least six Wall Street analysts raised their price targets on AMD stock after the company's earnings report.\nAMD Stock Technical Analysis\nAMD stock sank to a nearly four-decade low of 1.61 a share in July 2015 before starting its epic recovery.\nOn Nov. 30, AMD stock broke out of a fourth-stage,double-bottom basewith abuy pointof 88.82, according toIBD MarketSmithcharts.
