(NYSE:PLTR) is taking over the world, and you're worried about one earnings announcement? Instead of posting a small profit of three cents per share, Palantir reported a loss of one cent per share. Many investors did not take the news well, and Palantir ended Monday's session down by about 14%. Additionally, Palantir dropped by another 8% by late Tuesday's session.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/577c4de0e0341969c2876744fe70f1e8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>PLTR(StockCharts.com)</p><p>Moreover, Palantir's stock is still down by about 80% from its ATH, floating around its IPO price from almost two years ago. However, Palantir is a high-growth company with a highly long growth runway. Furthermore, Palantir demonstrates substantial profitability potential and should become increasingly profitable with time. Also, as a Palantir investor, I am more focused on the 250% YoY increase in the U.S. commercial customer count rather than the one-cent loss.</p><p>Palantir is a rapidly growing monopolistic-style company that has the potential to take over the world. No, not literally, but Palantir's software products and services are being adopted by more and more agencies and companies in the U.S. and globally. Therefore, Palantir should continue expanding operations, growing revenues, and increasing profits as the company advances. This dynamic should lead to increased demand for the company's shares, and Palantir's stock price should appreciate considerably in the coming years.</p><p>Palantir is a monopolistic, high-growth company with a remarkably long growth runway and massive profitability potential. Moreover, Palantir has a significant competitive advantage - the U.S. government. U.S. government agencies prefer Palantir, and for a good reason. Before Palantir's solutions, agency databases were "siloed," forcing users to search specific databases individually. Now, everything is linked together using Palantir. For example, thanks to Palantir, the FBI can access critical data from a police department without going through miles of red tape.</p><p>There is some mystery about what Palantir does and what makes the company unique. In essence, Palantir's software combines various operational elements, making them work seamlessly and safely. Palantir could also be viewed as the master of data, and critical information, a remarkably profitable business in this age. Many market participants are too busy "counting pennies" rather than concentrating on the future.</p><p>I've said that Palantir does not need to be profitable now because specific companies (like Palantir) can increase profitability when their growth potential begins running out. For now, it does not matter if Palantir makes a modest profit or reports a slight loss in the greater scheme of things. It is enough that Palantir demonstrates the potential for significant profitability down the line. For now, Palantir should continue focusing on growing customer count, increasing revenues, hiring and retaining top talent, and providing the best products and services in its industry.</p><p>Furthermore, Palantir has worked closely with numerous government agencies for years, adding to the perception that Palantir is the most trustworthy company in its space. Thus, we see the continuous growth and increased interest in Palantir's solutions from commercial clients. Around this time last year, Palantir only had 39 corporate clients in the U.S.; now, that number is 119. In addition, Palantir's products are very sticky and have high switching costs. Therefore, once on Palantir's software, a company should become a long-term consumer of Palantir's products and services.</p><p><b>Q2 - Better Than The Initial Reaction</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e72499fcab454a0ee054156978ddb2c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Statement of operations(Investors.palantir.com)</p><p>We continue seeing robust revenue growth while the cost of revenue declines. YoY revenues jumped by 26%, but the cost of revenue increased by only 12%. Gross profit came in at $370.8 million, surging by 30% YoY. Therefore, we see Palantir becoming increasingly profitable with scale. This trend of higher profitability is constructive and should continue, becoming more pronounced as the company continues expanding operations and revenues in future years.</p><p>Additionally, we see a positive trend of lower operating expenses. Sales and marketing grew slightly, R&D declined, and SG&A expenses were roughly flat YoY. In general, operating costs fell by 4% YoY. Additionally, stock-based compensation continues declining, dropping by more than 30%YoY. The adjusted operating margin came in at 23%. The adjusted gross margin came in at approximately 80.8% for the quarter, demonstrating remarkable profitability and massive earnings potential.</p><p><b>Q2 - Remarkable Highlights</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba28d5bb7d058c85b3d9b0b35cd2f2cd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Q2 highlights(Investors.palantir.com)</p><p>We saw robust YoY revenue growth, with an ever higher 45% growth rate in the U.S. Palantir's commercial business is performing excellently, growing revenues by 46%, with outperformance in the U.S., increasing revenues by a whopping 120% in that crucial market. Moreover, the U.S. commercial customer count exploded by 250% YoY, illustrating incredible demand for Palantir's products and services and implying significant future growth and widespread adoption for Palantir.</p><p><b>Palantir Could Achieve Widespread Adoption</b></p><p>Karp, Palantir's CEO, said that Palantir remains focused on the long term, and so should you if you're a Palantir shareholder.</p><blockquote>"We are working towards a future where all large institutions in the United States and its allies abroad are running significant segments of their operations, if not their operations as a whole, on Palantir." - Alex Karp.</blockquote><p>We must consider that Palantir is in the very early stages of its operations, growth, and profitability. Yet, the company offers the top products and services in its space. If it did not, Palantir probably wouldn't be the contractor of choice for the U.S. government, including the DOD, CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies. Moreover, Palantir probably wouldn't be seeing such spectacular growth in the corporate space if its competitors had the upper hand. Furthermore, we see that Palantir has significant competitive advantages. Thus, we can conclude that Palantir could achieve widespread adoption in the corporate world. Suppose Alex Karp is right and large government, civil, and corporate institutions of the U.S. and its allies run significant portions of their operations on Palantir. In that case, the sky is the limit, and Palantir's stock price should advance significantly in the coming years.</p><p>Here's what Palantir's financials could look like in the future:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Year</b></td><td><b>2022</b></td><td><b>2023</b></td><td><b>2024</b></td><td><b>2025</b></td><td><b>2026</b></td><td><b>2027</b></td></tr><tr><td>Revenue $</td><td>2b</td><td>2.6b</td><td>3.4b</td><td>4.4b</td><td>5.7b</td><td>7.3b</td></tr><tr><td>Revenue growth</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>28%</td><td>25%</td></tr><tr><td>Forward P/S ratio</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>9</td><td>8</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>Price</td><td>$9</td><td>$14</td><td>$21</td><td>$27</td><td>$32</td><td>$40</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Financial Prophet</p><p>Palantir is trading around seven times forward sales estimates, and the P/S multiple could expand as the company advances. Palantir has a log growth runway, and the company's revenue growth could be around 30% in the coming years. In comparison, Nvidia (NVDA) has slower growth projections, and the stock trades at about 14 times next year's sales estimates. Valuations of ten times sales and higher are widespread in the hardware and software industries.</p><p>Even Microsoft (MSFT), a mature software company, trades at approximately nine times forward sales, more expensive than Palantir. Therefore, we see that Palantir is relatively cheap and could experience multiple expansion as the company advances in future years. Thus, as Palantir continues increasing revenues and improving profitability, its stock could reach the $40 - 50 range within several years.</p><p><b>Risks To Palantir</b></p><p>Despite my bullish outlook for Palantir, market participants should consider several potential risks associated with this investment. While the growth story is strong at Palantir, shares are not cheap by traditional metrics. Furthermore, the company's earnings are still minimal and may not increase as much as I envision. Moreover, if the company's growth picture were to turn less bullish, the stock could head in the wrong direction. For instance, if Palantir lost favor with the government or had a data breach, the stock could experience a notable decline.

(NYSE:PLTR) is taking over the world, and you're worried about one earnings announcement? Instead of posting a small profit of three cents per share, Palantir reported a loss of one cent per share. Many investors did not take the news well, and Palantir ended Monday's session down by about 14%. Additionally, Palantir dropped by another 8% by late Tuesday's session.PLTR(StockCharts.com)Moreover, Palantir's stock is still down by about 80% from its ATH, floating around its IPO price from almost two years ago. However, Palantir is a high-growth company with a highly long growth runway. Furthermore, Palantir demonstrates substantial profitability potential and should become increasingly profitable with time. Also, as a Palantir investor, I am more focused on the 250% YoY increase in the U.S. commercial customer count rather than the one-cent loss.Palantir is a rapidly growing monopolistic-style company that has the potential to take over the world. No, not literally, but Palantir's software products and services are being adopted by more and more agencies and companies in the U.S. and globally. Therefore, Palantir should continue expanding operations, growing revenues, and increasing profits as the company advances. This dynamic should lead to increased demand for the company's shares, and Palantir's stock price should appreciate considerably in the coming years.Palantir is a monopolistic, high-growth company with a remarkably long growth runway and massive profitability potential. Moreover, Palantir has a significant competitive advantage - the U.S. government. U.S. government agencies prefer Palantir, and for a good reason. Before Palantir's solutions, agency databases were \"siloed,\" forcing users to search specific databases individually. Now, everything is linked together using Palantir. For example, thanks to Palantir, the FBI can access critical data from a police department without going through miles of red tape.There is some mystery about what Palantir does and what makes the company unique. In essence, Palantir's software combines various operational elements, making them work seamlessly and safely. Palantir could also be viewed as the master of data, and critical information, a remarkably profitable business in this age. Many market participants are too busy \"counting pennies\" rather than concentrating on the future.I've said that Palantir does not need to be profitable now because specific companies (like Palantir) can increase profitability when their growth potential begins running out. For now, it does not matter if Palantir makes a modest profit or reports a slight loss in the greater scheme of things. It is enough that Palantir demonstrates the potential for significant profitability down the line. For now, Palantir should continue focusing on growing customer count, increasing revenues, hiring and retaining top talent, and providing the best products and services in its industry.Furthermore, Palantir has worked closely with numerous government agencies for years, adding to the perception that Palantir is the most trustworthy company in its space. Thus, we see the continuous growth and increased interest in Palantir's solutions from commercial clients. Around this time last year, Palantir only had 39 corporate clients in the U.S.; now, that number is 119. In addition, Palantir's products are very sticky and have high switching costs. Therefore, once on Palantir's software, a company should become a long-term consumer of Palantir's products and services.Q2 - Better Than The Initial ReactionStatement of operations(Investors.palantir.com)We continue seeing robust revenue growth while the cost of revenue declines. YoY revenues jumped by 26%, but the cost of revenue increased by only 12%. Gross profit came in at $370.8 million, surging by 30% YoY. Therefore, we see Palantir becoming increasingly profitable with scale. This trend of higher profitability is constructive and should continue, becoming more pronounced as the company continues expanding operations and revenues in future years.Additionally, we see a positive trend of lower operating expenses. Sales and marketing grew slightly, R&D declined, and SG&A expenses were roughly flat YoY. In general, operating costs fell by 4% YoY. Additionally, stock-based compensation continues declining, dropping by more than 30%YoY. The adjusted operating margin came in at 23%. The adjusted gross margin came in at approximately 80.8% for the quarter, demonstrating remarkable profitability and massive earnings potential.Q2 - Remarkable HighlightsQ2 highlights(Investors.palantir.com)We saw robust YoY revenue growth, with an ever higher 45% growth rate in the U.S. Palantir's commercial business is performing excellently, growing revenues by 46%, with outperformance in the U.S., increasing revenues by a whopping 120% in that crucial market. Moreover, the U.S. commercial customer count exploded by 250% YoY, illustrating incredible demand for Palantir's products and services and implying significant future growth and widespread adoption for Palantir.Palantir Could Achieve Widespread AdoptionKarp, Palantir's CEO, said that Palantir remains focused on the long term, and so should you if you're a Palantir shareholder.\"We are working towards a future where all large institutions in the United States and its allies abroad are running significant segments of their operations, if not their operations as a whole, on Palantir.\" - Alex Karp.We must consider that Palantir is in the very early stages of its operations, growth, and profitability. Yet, the company offers the top products and services in its space. If it did not, Palantir probably wouldn't be the contractor of choice for the U.S. government, including the DOD, CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies. Moreover, Palantir probably wouldn't be seeing such spectacular growth in the corporate space if its competitors had the upper hand. Furthermore, we see that Palantir has significant competitive advantages. Thus, we can conclude that Palantir could achieve widespread adoption in the corporate world. Suppose Alex Karp is right and large government, civil, and corporate institutions of the U.S. and its allies run significant portions of their operations on Palantir. In that case, the sky is the limit, and Palantir's stock price should advance significantly in the coming years.Here's what Palantir's financials could look like in the future:Year202220232024202520262027Revenue $2b2.6b3.4b4.4b5.7b7.3bRevenue growth30%30%30%30%28%25%Forward P/S ratio789988Price$9$14$21$27$32$40Source: The Financial ProphetPalantir is trading around seven times forward sales estimates, and the P/S multiple could expand as the company advances. Palantir has a log growth runway, and the company's revenue growth could be around 30% in the coming years. In comparison, Nvidia (NVDA) has slower growth projections, and the stock trades at about 14 times next year's sales estimates. Valuations of ten times sales and higher are widespread in the hardware and software industries.Even Microsoft (MSFT), a mature software company, trades at approximately nine times forward sales, more expensive than Palantir. Therefore, we see that Palantir is relatively cheap and could experience multiple expansion as the company advances in future years. Thus, as Palantir continues increasing revenues and improving profitability, its stock could reach the $40 - 50 range within several years.Risks To PalantirDespite my bullish outlook for Palantir, market participants should consider several potential risks associated with this investment. While the growth story is strong at Palantir, shares are not cheap by traditional metrics. Furthermore, the company's earnings are still minimal and may not increase as much as I envision. Moreover, if the company's growth picture were to turn less bullish, the stock could head in the wrong direction. For instance, if Palantir lost favor with the government or had a data breach, the stock could experience a notable decline.

Let's discuss how.</p><p><b>What is a covered call?</b></p><p>A covered call is when you <b>sell</b> <i>someone else</i> the right to purchase shares of a stock that <i>you already own</i> (hence "covered"), at a specified price (strike price), at any time on or before a specified date (expiration date). The payment you receive in exchange is called a premium, which you keep regardless of whether the call is exercised.</p><p>As a result, covered calls can help generate income in a flat or mildly uptrending market. If the price of the underlying stock rises above the call option's strike price, the covered call buyer can exercise their right to purchase the stock, and you would relinquish any gains on the underlying stock above the strike price. However, the premium you received offsets some of the risk of foregone profits—as well as some of the risk of a small decline.</p><p>In fact, the best-case-scenario for this strategy would be the stock price rising slightly, giving you both a modest gain from stock price appreciation and some premium income from the call.</p><p><b>When do you use a covered call?</b></p><p>Investors typically write covered calls when they have a neutral to slightly bullish sentiment on the underlying stock. In many cases, the best time to sell covered calls is either at the same time you establish a long equity position (known as a "buy/write"), or once the equity position has already begun to move in your favor.</p><p>When establishing a covered call position, most investors sell options with a strike price that is at-the-money (or ATM, meaning the option’s strike price is the same as the stock's current market price) or slightly out-of-the-money (or OTM, meaning the strike price is above the stock’s current market price). If you write an OTM or ATM covered call and the stock remains flat or declines in value, you’re hoping the option eventually expire worthless, and you get to keep the premium you received without further obligation.</p><p>If the stock price rises above the option's strike price, it’s likely your stock will be called away (assigned) at the strike price, either prior to or at expiration. This is usually a good thing. If you sold ATM or OTM calls, the trade will generally be profitable. In fact, your profit will usually exceed what you would have earned if you had simply bought the stock and then sold it at the appreciated price, as you would receive both the proceeds from the sale of the stock at the strike price and the option premium.</p><p>That said, if the stock rises significantly, leaving the options deep in-the-money (or ITM, meaning the stock's market price is above the option’s strike price), the stock investment on its own would have been better.</p><p>Here's a hypothetical example of a covered call trade. Let's assume you:</p><ul><li>Buy 1,000 shares of XYZ stock @ $72 per share</li><li>Sell 10 XYZ Apr 75 calls @ $2.00 (Note that each standard call or put generally represents 100 shares of the underlying stock, thus, the 1,000 shares "cover" the 10 calls sold).</li></ul><p>The two points provided by the covered call create some immediate downside protection because you wouldn't experience a loss on the position unless the stock you bought for $72 a share dropped below $70. Another way to think of it is that even if the stock price dropped to zero, you would still have $2,000 from the 10 covered calls you sold (that is: $2 x 10 covered calls x the option multiplier of 100).</p><p>The trade-off is that you would effectively cap your potential profit if the share price rose significantly above the strike price. For this trade, that would mean a maximum profit of $5,000, representing the sum of your capital gain from the stock appreciating up to the $75 strike price and your premium from the covered call (that is: $3 x 1,000 shares of stock + $2 x 10 options contracts x 100 options multiplier). In that sense, this trade would make sense only if you thought it unlikely the price of XYZ would exceed $77 by the April expiration (representing the sum of your $72 purchase price and your max profit of $5,000). If XYZ did increase above $77, it would have been more profitable not to have written the covered call.</p><p>As you can see in the profit and loss chart below:</p><ul><li>The breakeven price is $70.</li><li>The profit is capped at $5,000 for all prices above $75.</li><li>Losses will be incurred below $70; down to zero.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c288f9964e4489d40f7cb103dd2e7238\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"378\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration.</span></p><p><b>What is a covered put?</b></p><p>Covered puts work essentially the same way as covered calls, except that you're writing an option against a short position, meaning a stock you've borrowed and then sold on the open market. Whereas writing a covered call involves selling someone else the right to buy a stock you own, selling covered puts against a short equity position creates an obligation for you to buy the stock back at the strike price of the put option.</p><p>This strategy typically makes sense when you have a neutral to slightly bearish sentiment.</p><p>As with covered calls, you can sell covered puts either when you establish the position (called a "sell/write"), or once the short equity position has already begun to move in your favor.</p><p>Here's an example of a covered put trade. Let's assume you:</p><ul><li>Sell short 1000 shares of XYZ @ 72</li><li>Sell 10 XYZ Apr 70 puts @ 2</li></ul><p>In the chart below, you'll see that:</p><ul><li>The breakeven price is $74.</li><li>The profit is capped at $4,000 for all prices below 70, i.e.: $2 x 1,000 [shares of stock] + $2 x 10 [options contracts] x 100 [options multiplier]</li><li>Losses will be incurred above $74.</li></ul><p>You would want to employ this strategy only if you thought the price of XYZ wouldn't fall below $70 by the April expiration. If XYZ did fall below $70, the short stock trade alone would be more profitable. Losses are potentially unlimited if the stock price continued to increase, but they would always be $2,000 less than the stock trade alone.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79dcc9c0e2f28eb658cca60354cd5a74\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"373\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration.</span></p><p><b>Risk managed, not eliminated</b></p><p>While covered calls and covered puts can reduce risk somewhat, they cannot eliminate it entirely. With that in mind, here are a few cautionary points about these strategies:</p><ul><li><b>Profits.</b> Covered options usually limit your profit potential if a stock moves substantially in your favor. Anytime you sell a covered option, you have established a minimum buying price (covered put) or maximum selling price (covered call) for your stock. Any stock movement beyond that established price creates no additional profit for you.</li><li><b>Losses.</b> Losses are reduced only by the amount of premium you received on the initial sale of the option. In addition, it’s rarely a good idea to sell a covered option if your stock position has already moved significantly against you. Doing so could cause you to establish a closing price that ensures a loss. So, before you sell, ask yourself, "Would I be happy if I had to close out my stock position at the strike price on this option?"

Let's discuss how.What is a covered call?A covered call is when you sell someone else the right to purchase shares of a stock that you already own (hence \"covered\"), at a specified price (strike price), at any time on or before a specified date (expiration date). The payment you receive in exchange is called a premium, which you keep regardless of whether the call is exercised.As a result, covered calls can help generate income in a flat or mildly uptrending market. If the price of the underlying stock rises above the call option's strike price, the covered call buyer can exercise their right to purchase the stock, and you would relinquish any gains on the underlying stock above the strike price. However, the premium you received offsets some of the risk of foregone profits—as well as some of the risk of a small decline.In fact, the best-case-scenario for this strategy would be the stock price rising slightly, giving you both a modest gain from stock price appreciation and some premium income from the call.When do you use a covered call?Investors typically write covered calls when they have a neutral to slightly bullish sentiment on the underlying stock. In many cases, the best time to sell covered calls is either at the same time you establish a long equity position (known as a \"buy/write\"), or once the equity position has already begun to move in your favor.When establishing a covered call position, most investors sell options with a strike price that is at-the-money (or ATM, meaning the option’s strike price is the same as the stock's current market price) or slightly out-of-the-money (or OTM, meaning the strike price is above the stock’s current market price). If you write an OTM or ATM covered call and the stock remains flat or declines in value, you’re hoping the option eventually expire worthless, and you get to keep the premium you received without further obligation.If the stock price rises above the option's strike price, it’s likely your stock will be called away (assigned) at the strike price, either prior to or at expiration. This is usually a good thing. If you sold ATM or OTM calls, the trade will generally be profitable. In fact, your profit will usually exceed what you would have earned if you had simply bought the stock and then sold it at the appreciated price, as you would receive both the proceeds from the sale of the stock at the strike price and the option premium.That said, if the stock rises significantly, leaving the options deep in-the-money (or ITM, meaning the stock's market price is above the option’s strike price), the stock investment on its own would have been better.Here's a hypothetical example of a covered call trade. Let's assume you:Buy 1,000 shares of XYZ stock @ $72 per shareSell 10 XYZ Apr 75 calls @ $2.00 (Note that each standard call or put generally represents 100 shares of the underlying stock, thus, the 1,000 shares \"cover\" the 10 calls sold).The two points provided by the covered call create some immediate downside protection because you wouldn't experience a loss on the position unless the stock you bought for $72 a share dropped below $70. Another way to think of it is that even if the stock price dropped to zero, you would still have $2,000 from the 10 covered calls you sold (that is: $2 x 10 covered calls x the option multiplier of 100).The trade-off is that you would effectively cap your potential profit if the share price rose significantly above the strike price. For this trade, that would mean a maximum profit of $5,000, representing the sum of your capital gain from the stock appreciating up to the $75 strike price and your premium from the covered call (that is: $3 x 1,000 shares of stock + $2 x 10 options contracts x 100 options multiplier). In that sense, this trade would make sense only if you thought it unlikely the price of XYZ would exceed $77 by the April expiration (representing the sum of your $72 purchase price and your max profit of $5,000). If XYZ did increase above $77, it would have been more profitable not to have written the covered call.As you can see in the profit and loss chart below:The breakeven price is $70.The profit is capped at $5,000 for all prices above $75.Losses will be incurred below $70; down to zero.Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration.What is a covered put?Covered puts work essentially the same way as covered calls, except that you're writing an option against a short position, meaning a stock you've borrowed and then sold on the open market. Whereas writing a covered call involves selling someone else the right to buy a stock you own, selling covered puts against a short equity position creates an obligation for you to buy the stock back at the strike price of the put option.This strategy typically makes sense when you have a neutral to slightly bearish sentiment.As with covered calls, you can sell covered puts either when you establish the position (called a \"sell/write\"), or once the short equity position has already begun to move in your favor.Here's an example of a covered put trade. Let's assume you:Sell short 1000 shares of XYZ @ 72Sell 10 XYZ Apr 70 puts @ 2In the chart below, you'll see that:The breakeven price is $74.The profit is capped at $4,000 for all prices below 70, i.e.: $2 x 1,000 [shares of stock] + $2 x 10 [options contracts] x 100 [options multiplier]Losses will be incurred above $74.You would want to employ this strategy only if you thought the price of XYZ wouldn't fall below $70 by the April expiration. If XYZ did fall below $70, the short stock trade alone would be more profitable. Losses are potentially unlimited if the stock price continued to increase, but they would always be $2,000 less than the stock trade alone.Note: Chart depicts strategy at expiration.Risk managed, not eliminatedWhile covered calls and covered puts can reduce risk somewhat, they cannot eliminate it entirely. With that in mind, here are a few cautionary points about these strategies:Profits. Covered options usually limit your profit potential if a stock moves substantially in your favor. Anytime you sell a covered option, you have established a minimum buying price (covered put) or maximum selling price (covered call) for your stock. Any stock movement beyond that established price creates no additional profit for you.Losses. Losses are reduced only by the amount of premium you received on the initial sale of the option. In addition, it’s rarely a good idea to sell a covered option if your stock position has already moved significantly against you. Doing so could cause you to establish a closing price that ensures a loss. So, before you sell, ask yourself, \"Would I be happy if I had to close out my stock position at the strike price on this option?\" If you can answer \"yes,\" you’ll probably be okay.Holding until expiration. While our examples assume that you hold the covered position until expiration, you can usually close out a covered option at any time by buying it to close at the current market price. Regardless of whether the equity part of your strategy is profitable, waiting until expiration will maximize your return on an out-of-the-money option; however, you are not required to do so.Assignment. A significant change in the price of the underlying stock prior to expiration could result in an early assignment, and if your short option is in-the-money, you could be assigned at any time. Covered calls written against dividend paying stocks are especially vulnerable to early assignment.Corporate events. When companies merge, spin off, split, pay special dividends, etc., their options can become very complicated.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":866,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9901885292,"gmtCreate":1659161085416,"gmtModify":1676536267574,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582520228861009","authorIdStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope that H2 will really recover.","listText":"Hope that H2 will really recover.","text":"Hope that H2 will really recover.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9901885292","repostId":"1167462110","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":930,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9071630981,"gmtCreate":1657517070444,"gmtModify":1676536018969,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582520228861009","authorIdStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope there won't be another prolonged lock down...","listText":"Hope there won't be another prolonged lock down...","text":"Hope there won't be another prolonged lock down...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071630981","repostId":"1152771990","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1152771990","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1657516312,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1152771990?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-07-11 13:11","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Falls 6%, Nio Sheds 4%: What's Weighing On Hong Kong Stocks Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1152771990","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese companies were trading lower in Hong Kong on Monday, with major tech s","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese companies were trading lower in Hong Kong on Monday, with major tech stocks like <b>Alibaba Group Holdings</b>,<b>Tencent </b>,<b>Baidu</b>, and <b>JD.com Inc</b> slipping between 3% and 6%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ec73d8f6c17e6c8d9b3b401c2315726\" tg-width=\"406\" tg-height=\"722\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>In the electric vehicle segment, <b>Xpeng Inc</b>,<b>Li Auto Inc</b>, and <b>Nio Inc</b> cracked more than 4% during the afternoon hours.</p><p>Shares of these Chinese companies ended mixed on U.S. bourses on Friday.</p><p><b>Global Markets Recap:</b> At press time, the benchmark Hang Seng Index traded 2.84% lower, following cues from Asian peers.</p><p>Elsewhere, Shanghai's <b>SSE Composite Index</b> was down 1.36%, Australia’s <b>ASX 200</b> shed 0.94%, while Japan’s <b>Nikkei 225</b> was a percent higher.</p><p><b>Macro Factors:</b> Shanghai health officials said on Sunday said the city reported its first case from a new Omicron subvariant, triggering new rounds of mass testing and targeted lockdowns.</p><p>Meanwhile, all commercial and industrial businesses in Macau will be shut for at least a week from Monday as the authorities of China's special administrative region race to curb the surge of COVID-19 infections in the world's biggest gambling hub, Reuters reported.</p><p>According to SCMP, <b>Sean Darby</b>, global equity strategist at <b>Jefferies</b>, in a note published on Monday, said, “China is still a long way from a genuine recovery.”</p><p>“In contrast to the rest of the world, the Chinese consumer is not rebelling against the high cost of living but the inconvenience of the social restrictions and testing when Covid infections burst.”</p><p><b>Company In News:</b> China’s <b>State Administration for Market Regulation</b> (SAMR) on Sunday imposed fines on technology giants Alibaba and Tencent alongside other firms for failing to comply with anti-monopoly rules on the disclosure of transactions.

Between China’s tech ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Alibaba Group Holding</b> (NYSE:BABA) stock has seen its fair share of challenges. Between China’s tech crackdown, a COVID-19 outbreak, and declining retail spending, there have been many curve balls thrown BABA’s way. However, the company is doing better than many people think it is. Although earnings are declining, revenue is still growing – albeit at a slower pace than in the past – and the company is working on many new projects like chips and cloud computing. Chips and cloud services were big winners for companies like <b>Apple</b> (AAPL) and <b>Amazon</b> (AMZN), so there is reason for optimism toward Alibaba’s future trajectory.</p><p>Speaking of Amazon, that stock is a useful case study when it comes to understanding Alibaba. The two businesses have a lot in common, including:</p><ul><li>Core eCommerce operations.</li><li>Cloud computing operations.</li><li>High market share in the countries that are their “home bases.”</li></ul><p>These qualities make Amazon comparable to Alibaba. The two companies aren’t identical – Alibaba relies on third party vendors much more than Amazon does, and China is a very different market than America. But there are enough similarities that we could describe the two companies as being in the same sector.</p><p>There’s another trait that Amazon and Alibaba have in common:</p><p>Their stock market performance. BABA’s price trend in 2021/2022 is very similar to Amazon’s trend in 2000-2002. In both cases, the shares fell by high double digit percentages while revenue grew. When you’ve got a company whose stock price is declining while sales grow, you’re looking at an investment with the potential for future appreciation. Indeed, that happened with Amazon starting in 2002. That year, the company’s stock fell while its losses got smaller, paving the way for future growth. In BABA’s case, the higher revenue growth is not translating to earnings growth – a declining stock portfolio, investments in subsidiaries, and higher taxes are taking a bite out of fundamentals. On the flipside, BABA (unlike 2002 Amazon) has positive earnings already, so it can support its stock price through future buybacks. Taken as a whole, these factors suggest that BABA is set for a rally much like the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> Amazon experienced after its 2002 crash.</p><h2>Competitive Landscape</h2><p>One thing that Alibaba has in common with Amazon, especially 2002-era Amazon, is its competitive position. Alibaba has one very large competitor, <b>JD.com </b>(JD), and a host of smaller ones. This is similar to the situation Amazon faced in 2002, when <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EBAY\">eBay</a></b> (EBAY) was king of the eCommerce castle. In the long run, Amazon prevailed over eBay, and there are reasons to think that Alibaba will prevail over JD, too.</p><p>One of those reasons relates to profitability. JD is a retailer that holds and sells inventory directly, Alibaba is mainly a platform for third party retailers. Amazon is a mix of both.</p><p>Alibaba’s “third party seller” model results in high margins because it does not require holding inventory. BABA has fulfillment centers, which cost significant sums of money, but not on the level of holding inventory. Alibaba’s model incurs minimal host, mainly marketing and maintaining web infrastructure. JD’s, by contrast, incurs high costs. So BABA will likely earn more profit than JD if the two companies’ revenue levels are comparable. Indeed, their revenue is pretty comparable: JD actually had about $20 billion more of it than BABA did in the trailing 12 month period. However, BABA had far more profit. That’s largely because of Alibaba’s low cost business model.</p><p>Of course, JD’s growing sales are a threat to Alibaba. Just because JD earns less profit doesn’t mean it won’t cut in on Alibaba’s action. However, Alibaba’s higher margins give it more opportunities to invest in its business. Over the last decade, Alibaba has built a cloud business, bought several companies, and launched a partially-owned payments platform. These kinds of things would be hard to pull off with JD’s margins. So, between JD and BABA, the latter is better positioned to grow into an Amazon-style conglomerate.</p><h2>Alibaba’s Financials: the Amazon Comparison is Clear</h2><p>Alibaba’s recent stock performance has been similar to Amazon’s in 2000-2002. Its financials are also similar to Amazon’s at that time period, only far better. In the most recent 12 month period, BABA delivered:</p><ul><li><p>$134.5 billion in revenue.</p></li><li><p>$49 billion in gross profit.</p></li><li><p>$14.9 billion in operating income (“EBIT”).</p></li><li><p>$9.8 billion in net income.</p></li><li><p>$9 billion in levered free cash flow.</p></li></ul><p>These figures give us a 7.2% net margin and a 36.5% gross margin. The net margin might not look that impressive but this is going off of GAAP earnings, which are affected by the performance of BABA’s stock portfolio. Substituting cash from operations for net income and we get a 16.3% CFO margin. Alibaba’s margins have fallen somewhat since the company’s record breaking 2020/2021 fiscal year, but they should start to climb again. A lot of the decline in BABA’s margins has been due to its stock portfolio declining in value. Chinese stocks are in a bullish trend this quarter; if they end the quarter in the green, then we could see BABA’s margins improve.</p><p>This is similar to where Amazon was in 2002. Its stock price was declining, its revenue was rising, and its equity investments were going down. It was not profitable in 2002, so Alibaba compares favourably on that front. However, AMZN’s net loss was shrinking that year whereas BABA’s earnings are declining, so “2002 Amazon” wins on growth.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>Having explored Alibaba’s financial performance, we can turn to its valuation. I’ll leave the Amazon comparison alone for this section because Amazon is nothing like Alibaba when it comes to valuation.</p><p>One of the most appealing things about Alibaba stock today is its price. The company is very cheap relative to its underlying assets, earnings and cash flows, and will look even cheaper if earnings growth resumes later this year.</p><p>According to Seeking Alpha Quant, BABA trades at the following multiples:</p><ul><li><p>Adjusted P/E: 12.</p></li><li><p>GAAP P/E: 28.</p></li><li><p>EV/EBITDA: 11.3.</p></li><li><p>Price/sales: 1.98.</p></li><li><p>Price/operating cash flow: 11.7.</p></li></ul><p>These multiples suggest that BABA is cheap. Certainly, they’re much lower than the multiples you’ll find on U.S. tech stocks of similar size. Doing a discounted cash flow analysis on BABA yields a similar result: even with conservative growth assumptions, the stock ends up being worth more than its current stock price implies.</p><p>In the trailing 12 month period, Alibaba grew revenue at 18%. In the two recent quarters, it grew closer to 10%. For the sake of conservatism, we’ll use the lower end of BABA’s recent quarterly growth as our revenue assumption.</p><p>Now let’s look at costs. In 2021, BABA’s COGS was $64 billion and operating expenses were $28 billion, for a total of $93 billion in cash costs. These combined costs grew by 28% to $119 billion in 2022. That would suggest that Alibaba’s costs are growing much faster than revenue. However, if we zero in on the most recent quarter, we see the cost growth slowing down compared to earlier in the year. COGS for Q4 came in at $21.9 billion and operating cost at $7.6 billion–down from $7.8 billion in the prior year quarter. Overall, COGS + operating costs combined grew at 10% for the quarter. We know that Alibaba is actively working at reducing costs right now, so I will again forecast based on the quarter rather than the year. The result of these assumptions is 10% growth in both revenue and costs. I will ignore interest expense in my model because BABA’s “interest income” includes stock market fluctuations, which are impossible to predict. I will use 25% as the tax rate because BABA recently lost its tax credits and, as a result, now pays China’s standard 25% tax. These assumptions yield the following model:</p><table><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td></td><td><p>2022 (BASE YEAR)</p></td><td><p>2023</p></td><td><p>2024</p></td><td><p>2025</p></td><td><p>2026</p></td><td><p>2027</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Revenue per share</p></td><td><p>$50</p></td><td><p>$55</p></td><td><p>$60.5</p></td><td><p>$66.55</p></td><td><p>$73.2</p></td><td><p>$80.52</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Costs per share</p></td><td><p>$44.35</p></td><td><p>$48.78</p></td><td><p>$53.66</p></td><td><p>$59</p></td><td><p>$64.93</p></td><td><p>$71.42</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EBIT per share</p></td><td><p>$5.65</p></td><td><p>$6.22</p></td><td><p>$6.84</p></td><td><p>$7.55</p></td><td><p>$8.27</p></td><td><p>$9.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tax</p></td><td><p>$0.62</p></td><td><p>$1.55</p></td><td><p>$1.71</p></td><td><p>$1.89</p></td><td><p>$2.07</p></td><td><p>$2.28</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EPS</p></td><td><p>$5.03</p></td><td><p>$4.665</p></td><td><p>$5.13</p></td><td><p>$5.66</p></td><td><p>$6.2</p></td><td><p>$6.82</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>As you can see, earnings dip briefly in 2023, mainly due to the fact that 2022 hadn’t yet seen four full quarters with higher tax rates. In 2024, earnings resume a modest upward trajectory.</p><p>The end result is a pretty underwhelming 6.2% CAGR growth rate in earnings, which stems from our conservative assumptions. Actual growth could be stronger, but we’ll use what we’ve got. If we discount the cash flows above at the 3% 10 year treasury yield, we get:</p><table><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td></td><td><p>2023</p></td><td><p>2024</p></td><td><p>2025</p></td><td><p>2026</p></td><td><p>2027</p></td><td><p>TOTAL</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EPS</p></td><td><p>$4.665</p></td><td><p>$5.13</p></td><td><p>$5.66</p></td><td><p>$6.2</p></td><td><p>$6.82</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(1 + r)^N</p></td><td><p>1.03</p></td><td><p>1.0609</p></td><td><p>1.093</p></td><td><p>1.125</p></td><td><p>1.159</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Discounted EPS</p></td><td><p>$4.52</p></td><td><p>$4.83</p></td><td><p>$5.17</p></td><td><p>$5.51</p></td><td><p>$5.88</p></td><td><p>$25.91</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>So we’ve got $25.91 worth of discounted cash flows in five years. If we assume that BABA produces no growth after that, then the terminal value is $227. So, we have a total present value of $253 – even when we assume extremely slow growth!</p><h2>Risks and Challenges</h2><p>As we’ve seen, Alibaba stock is undervalued based on both multiples and discounted cash flows. If the company just grows modestly in the next five years, its stock will come to be worth more than it is today. However, there are many risks and challenges for investors to watch out for, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>Political risk.</b> Alibaba is subject to two forms of political risk: domestic political risk (e.g. a renewed tech crackdown), and international political risk (e.g. tensions between China and the U.S.). Right now, China is easing up on the tech crackdown, which is part of why Chinese stocks are rallying, but you can never discount the possibility that the government will go back into crackdown mode later. Likewise, there is always the possibility that tensions between the U.S. and China.</p></li><li><p><b>Revenue deceleration.</b> Alibaba’s revenue growth decelerated significantly in the past year. Its five year CAGR revenue growth rate is 40%, the TTM growth rate is only 18%. So BABA’s growth is definitely slowing. If it slows down more, then perhaps BABA won’t hit the 10% revenue growth my model assumed, and it will be worth less than what my model estimated.</p></li><li><p><b>COVID outbreaks.</b> China is still committed to a “COVID zero” model, meaning that it is willing to bring in pretty strict lockdowns for only modest numbers of COVID cases. This fact contributed to China’s recent 11% decline in retail spending. If we see more lockdowns, then BABA’s sales growth could slow down considerably, contributing to revenue deceleration.</p></li></ul><p>The risks above are very real. Nevertheless, Alibaba stock is cheap enough to make the risk worth assuming. Even assuming very little growth, the stock’s future earnings have a present value of about $250. That’s considerable upside to today’s prices. If growth accelerates, then we could see a true Amazon-style multi-decade rally taking us to dizzying highs.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Looks Like Amazon In 2002</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAlibaba Looks Like Amazon In 2002\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-10 09:56 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517331-alibaba-looks-like-amazon-2002><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) stock has seen its fair share of challenges.

Between China’s tech crackdown, a COVID-19 outbreak, and declining retail spending, there have been many curve balls thrown BABA’s way. However, the company is doing better than many people think it is. Although earnings are declining, revenue is still growing – albeit at a slower pace than in the past – and the company is working on many new projects like chips and cloud computing. Chips and cloud services were big winners for companies like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN), so there is reason for optimism toward Alibaba’s future trajectory.Speaking of Amazon, that stock is a useful case study when it comes to understanding Alibaba. The two businesses have a lot in common, including:Core eCommerce operations.Cloud computing operations.High market share in the countries that are their “home bases.”These qualities make Amazon comparable to Alibaba. The two companies aren’t identical – Alibaba relies on third party vendors much more than Amazon does, and China is a very different market than America. But there are enough similarities that we could describe the two companies as being in the same sector.There’s another trait that Amazon and Alibaba have in common:Their stock market performance. BABA’s price trend in 2021/2022 is very similar to Amazon’s trend in 2000-2002. In both cases, the shares fell by high double digit percentages while revenue grew. When you’ve got a company whose stock price is declining while sales grow, you’re looking at an investment with the potential for future appreciation. Indeed, that happened with Amazon starting in 2002. That year, the company’s stock fell while its losses got smaller, paving the way for future growth. In BABA’s case, the higher revenue growth is not translating to earnings growth – a declining stock portfolio, investments in subsidiaries, and higher taxes are taking a bite out of fundamentals. On the flipside, BABA (unlike 2002 Amazon) has positive earnings already, so it can support its stock price through future buybacks. Taken as a whole, these factors suggest that BABA is set for a rally much like the one Amazon experienced after its 2002 crash.Competitive LandscapeOne thing that Alibaba has in common with Amazon, especially 2002-era Amazon, is its competitive position. Alibaba has one very large competitor, JD.com (JD), and a host of smaller ones. This is similar to the situation Amazon faced in 2002, when eBay (EBAY) was king of the eCommerce castle. In the long run, Amazon prevailed over eBay, and there are reasons to think that Alibaba will prevail over JD, too.One of those reasons relates to profitability. JD is a retailer that holds and sells inventory directly, Alibaba is mainly a platform for third party retailers. Amazon is a mix of both.Alibaba’s “third party seller” model results in high margins because it does not require holding inventory. BABA has fulfillment centers, which cost significant sums of money, but not on the level of holding inventory. Alibaba’s model incurs minimal host, mainly marketing and maintaining web infrastructure. JD’s, by contrast, incurs high costs. So BABA will likely earn more profit than JD if the two companies’ revenue levels are comparable. Indeed, their revenue is pretty comparable: JD actually had about $20 billion more of it than BABA did in the trailing 12 month period. However, BABA had far more profit. That’s largely because of Alibaba’s low cost business model.Of course, JD’s growing sales are a threat to Alibaba. Just because JD earns less profit doesn’t mean it won’t cut in on Alibaba’s action. However, Alibaba’s higher margins give it more opportunities to invest in its business. Over the last decade, Alibaba has built a cloud business, bought several companies, and launched a partially-owned payments platform. These kinds of things would be hard to pull off with JD’s margins. So, between JD and BABA, the latter is better positioned to grow into an Amazon-style conglomerate.Alibaba’s Financials: the Amazon Comparison is ClearAlibaba’s recent stock performance has been similar to Amazon’s in 2000-2002. Its financials are also similar to Amazon’s at that time period, only far better. In the most recent 12 month period, BABA delivered:$134.5 billion in revenue.$49 billion in gross profit.$14.9 billion in operating income (“EBIT”).$9.8 billion in net income.$9 billion in levered free cash flow.These figures give us a 7.2% net margin and a 36.5% gross margin. The net margin might not look that impressive but this is going off of GAAP earnings, which are affected by the performance of BABA’s stock portfolio. Substituting cash from operations for net income and we get a 16.3% CFO margin. Alibaba’s margins have fallen somewhat since the company’s record breaking 2020/2021 fiscal year, but they should start to climb again. A lot of the decline in BABA’s margins has been due to its stock portfolio declining in value. Chinese stocks are in a bullish trend this quarter; if they end the quarter in the green, then we could see BABA’s margins improve.This is similar to where Amazon was in 2002. Its stock price was declining, its revenue was rising, and its equity investments were going down. It was not profitable in 2002, so Alibaba compares favourably on that front. However, AMZN’s net loss was shrinking that year whereas BABA’s earnings are declining, so “2002 Amazon” wins on growth.ValuationHaving explored Alibaba’s financial performance, we can turn to its valuation. I’ll leave the Amazon comparison alone for this section because Amazon is nothing like Alibaba when it comes to valuation.One of the most appealing things about Alibaba stock today is its price. The company is very cheap relative to its underlying assets, earnings and cash flows, and will look even cheaper if earnings growth resumes later this year.According to Seeking Alpha Quant, BABA trades at the following multiples:Adjusted P/E: 12.GAAP P/E: 28.EV/EBITDA: 11.3.Price/sales: 1.98.Price/operating cash flow: 11.7.These multiples suggest that BABA is cheap. Certainly, they’re much lower than the multiples you’ll find on U.S. tech stocks of similar size. Doing a discounted cash flow analysis on BABA yields a similar result: even with conservative growth assumptions, the stock ends up being worth more than its current stock price implies.In the trailing 12 month period, Alibaba grew revenue at 18%. In the two recent quarters, it grew closer to 10%. For the sake of conservatism, we’ll use the lower end of BABA’s recent quarterly growth as our revenue assumption.Now let’s look at costs. In 2021, BABA’s COGS was $64 billion and operating expenses were $28 billion, for a total of $93 billion in cash costs. These combined costs grew by 28% to $119 billion in 2022. That would suggest that Alibaba’s costs are growing much faster than revenue. However, if we zero in on the most recent quarter, we see the cost growth slowing down compared to earlier in the year. COGS for Q4 came in at $21.9 billion and operating cost at $7.6 billion–down from $7.8 billion in the prior year quarter. Overall, COGS + operating costs combined grew at 10% for the quarter. We know that Alibaba is actively working at reducing costs right now, so I will again forecast based on the quarter rather than the year. The result of these assumptions is 10% growth in both revenue and costs. I will ignore interest expense in my model because BABA’s “interest income” includes stock market fluctuations, which are impossible to predict. I will use 25% as the tax rate because BABA recently lost its tax credits and, as a result, now pays China’s standard 25% tax. These assumptions yield the following model:2022 (BASE YEAR)20232024202520262027Revenue per share$50$55$60.5$66.55$73.2$80.52Costs per share$44.35$48.78$53.66$59$64.93$71.42EBIT per share$5.65$6.22$6.84$7.55$8.27$9.1Tax$0.62$1.55$1.71$1.89$2.07$2.28EPS$5.03$4.665$5.13$5.66$6.2$6.82As you can see, earnings dip briefly in 2023, mainly due to the fact that 2022 hadn’t yet seen four full quarters with higher tax rates. In 2024, earnings resume a modest upward trajectory.The end result is a pretty underwhelming 6.2% CAGR growth rate in earnings, which stems from our conservative assumptions. Actual growth could be stronger, but we’ll use what we’ve got. If we discount the cash flows above at the 3% 10 year treasury yield, we get:20232024202520262027TOTALEPS$4.665$5.13$5.66$6.2$6.82N/A(1 + r)^N1.031.06091.0931.1251.159N/ADiscounted EPS$4.52$4.83$5.17$5.51$5.88$25.91So we’ve got $25.91 worth of discounted cash flows in five years. If we assume that BABA produces no growth after that, then the terminal value is $227. So, we have a total present value of $253 – even when we assume extremely slow growth!Risks and ChallengesAs we’ve seen, Alibaba stock is undervalued based on both multiples and discounted cash flows. If the company just grows modestly in the next five years, its stock will come to be worth more than it is today. However, there are many risks and challenges for investors to watch out for, including:Political risk. Alibaba is subject to two forms of political risk: domestic political risk (e.g. a renewed tech crackdown), and international political risk (e.g. tensions between China and the U.S.). Right now, China is easing up on the tech crackdown, which is part of why Chinese stocks are rallying, but you can never discount the possibility that the government will go back into crackdown mode later. Likewise, there is always the possibility that tensions between the U.S. and China.Revenue deceleration. Alibaba’s revenue growth decelerated significantly in the past year. Its five year CAGR revenue growth rate is 40%, the TTM growth rate is only 18%. So BABA’s growth is definitely slowing. If it slows down more, then perhaps BABA won’t hit the 10% revenue growth my model assumed, and it will be worth less than what my model estimated.COVID outbreaks. China is still committed to a “COVID zero” model, meaning that it is willing to bring in pretty strict lockdowns for only modest numbers of COVID cases. This fact contributed to China’s recent 11% decline in retail spending. If we see more lockdowns, then BABA’s sales growth could slow down considerably, contributing to revenue deceleration.The risks above are very real. Nevertheless, Alibaba stock is cheap enough to make the risk worth assuming. Even assuming very little growth, the stock’s future earnings have a present value of about $250. That’s considerable upside to today’s prices. If growth accelerates, then we could see a true Amazon-style multi-decade rally taking us to dizzying highs.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":655,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9053410233,"gmtCreate":1654569086922,"gmtModify":1676535471046,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582520228861009","authorIdStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree that it is a good buying opportunity.

I looked into the recent quarter and was pleasantly surprised that there were signs of improvement and that the worst is likely over for Alibaba.</p><h2>Investment thesis</h2><p>I have written two deep dive articles into Alibaba that you can read further to learn more about the business as well as the regulatory risks of the company. My investment thesis remains as I continue to see Alibaba as currently <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the better risk/reward opportunities out there due to the following factors:</p><p>1. China commerce: One of the most valuable assets Alibaba has is its huge consumer base of 1 billion users and spends $1,300 annually, which can bring about further monetization or help scale its other newer platforms.</p><p>2. International commerce: This business is a low hanging fruit for Alibaba as it has a replicable strategy and strong moat, as well as logistics capabilities to compete with international e-commerce brands in international markets.</p><p>3. Cloud: Alibaba will likely remain the leader in a fast growing cloud market in China and continue to look out for international markets to grow in. Furthermore, its in-house production of chips and development of OS could bring about further cost efficiencies and better products while reducing reliance on third party suppliers.</p><p>4. Investing for growth in the future: Alibaba is reinvesting its incremental profits into its strategic businesses which, in my view, is necessary to ensure Alibaba is able to compete and win competitors. Also, Alibaba is continuing its mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire new businesses to capture future opportunities or bring value to existing businesses.</p><h2>Cloud computing achieves scale and positive adjusted EBITDA margins</h2><p>For the cloud computing segment, it reported revenues of Rmb19 billion in 4Q22, which representing 12% growth year on year. This was compared to the prior quarter's growth of 20% year-on-year and prior year's growth of 38% year-on-year. The slowdown is due to weakness in certain sectors, slowing economic activities, and the company's strategic focus on higher quality revenues.</p><p>In particular, the weakness came from the internet industries like online education and entertainment. According to management, the cloud computing revenue growth would have been 15% year-on-year if the revenues from its top customer in the internet industry, Bytedance were excluded. According to management, Bytedance apparently stopped using Alibaba's overseas cloud services for its international business due to requirements that are non-product related.</p><p>As a result of weakness in the internet sector, the revenue contribution from non-internet industries increased to 52% as several sectors like telecommunications, retailing and financials reported strong growth to offset the weakness in the internet industry.</p><p>On the margins front, the cloud computing segment posted positive 1% adjusted EBITDA margins in 4Q22, compared to -2% adjusted EBITDA margins one year ago. This was attributable to the gradual improvement in economies of scale for the business, as well as better loss control for Dingtalk. Management also expects that margins for the cloud computing business to continue to improve in FY2023 as top line growth continues. In my view, the margins profile of Alibaba's cloud computing segment is at a pivotal moment for the business as it transitions towards positive adjusted EBITDA margins with improving economies of scale.</p><p>I think that is is also encouraging to see that management continues to see the long term potential in the cloud industry and Alibaba's cloud segment despite the near term blip. Management believes that the cloud industry can grow 2 to 3 times in the long run to reach Rmb1 trillion in the next few years. This comes as the cloud plays a key role for the development of the economy and for digital transformation. With that, the focus for Alibaba on the cloud computing sector is crucial, and management believe that Alibaba needs to cater to the differing needs of different sectors to be able to leverage on this huge opportunity in the long run. In my view, the other positive is that this will continue to drive top line growth and with the cloud revenues of the entire company already exceeding Rmb100 billion in the last fiscal year, this translates to huge economies of scale and potential for cost reduction and efficiency improvement that will further drive upside to cloud computing margins in the near term.</p><h2>China Commerce</h2><p>Revenues from the China Commerce segment grew 7% year on year to RMB 136 billion. There was a low teens year-on-year decline in GMV in April and management sees that there are signs of improvement in May. The total FY2022 GMV in China Commerce grew by 2% year on year.</p><p>Alibaba continued to grow on the user front. China commerce Annual Active Consumers (AAC) reached 903million, up 21 million users from the previous quarter and up 89 million users from a year ago. Notably, of these increases, 70% are from less-developed areas. This is in line with Alibaba's push toward rural and less developed customers to grow its customer base.</p><p>Specifically, we are seeing growth in Taobao Deals and Taocaicai. Taobao Deals AACs grew to more than 300 million, adding 20 million users in the quarter while paid orders on Taobao Deals grew 35% year on year in the current quarter. In addition, Taocaicai, Alibaba's community market place catered to lower tier cities and rural areas continued to grow AACs to more than 90 million and more than 50% of these were first time fresh produce buyers on Alibaba. Also, Taocaicai GMV continued to expand in the last quarter due to improving average order values.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a5116cae604fa82f39a0a9a4cc54255\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"347\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Alibaba recorded robust user growth compared to peers (QuestMobile; Goldman)</p><p>While there were low single-digit declines in Taobao and Small online physical goods GMV, the customer management revenues (CMR) remained stable year on year. This was due to some offset by positive growth in advertising revenues.</p><p>EBITDA declined RMB 7 billion to Rmb 32 billion, representing an EBITDA margin of 23%. This decline in EBITDA margins was due to the drag from Taocaicai and Taobao Deals as management invests in these relatively higher growths and newer businesses. In addition, Sun Art reported an RMB 1.4 billion loss, most of it due to an asset impairment provision.</p><p>Management remains committed to improving efficiency and narrowing losses for Taobao Deals. Furthermore, management has been more disciplined in investment pace for Taocaicai to reduce its impact on margins to the group. It has done so by choosing certain target cities where it aims to improve order density and thus focus on establishing regional warehouses and infrastructure in these cities. Thus, the focus will be more on high-quality growth for the Taocaicai business.</p><p>In addition, in my view, the combined losses from both Taobao Deals and Taocaicai has likely peaked in December 2021 and saw sequential declines in losses in the current quarter. I think we will continue to expect the combined losses to decline as management continued to focus on higher-quality growth for China's commerce segment.</p><h2>International Commerce</h2><p>Revenues from international commerce grew by 7% year on year as AACs grew by 4 million compared to the prior quarter, and 64 million when compared to the prior year. There was a growth of 32% and 48% year on year respectively for Lazada and Trendyol while AliExpress saw a decline in order volume. This was due to the changes in EU's VAT rules and supply chain/logistics disruptions due to Russia-Ukraine conflict, as highlighted by management. International commerce segment's adjusted EBITDA margin remained stable at -18% as the company continues to spend on marketing and promotions to increase user engagement and acquisition.</p><p>International commerce remains to be one of Alibaba's key growth drivers to tap on less mature e-commerce markets outside of China. While there could be near term competition from other e-commerce companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Shopee, which is owned by Sea Limited (SE), Alibaba's international commerce can still ride the wave of increasing e-commerce penetration in these markets and post higher long term average growth rates than in the mature China Commerce segment.</p><h3>Local Consumer Services</h3><p>As for the local consumer services segment, revenues grew to Rmb 10 billion, up 29% year on year. Ele.me, Alibaba's online food delivery platform, continued to show improvement in unit economics and is reaching near break-even due to improvements in the delivery cost per order as well as the company reducing spend on user acquisitions.</p><p>As Ele.me continues to scale, its unit economics improvement, as well as the cost reductions made by management will continue to contribute to bottom-line growth for the Group.</p><h2>Stringent cost control and improving regulatory environment</h2><p>Management continues to be committed to add value by assessing the areas of its business where there can be further improvement in efficiencies and to reduce costs to make the entire cost structure of the business more nimble and lean. Some of these control in costs includes stringent control over sales and marketing expenses. This, in my view, is positive for Alibaba as the near term may prove challenging with top-line slowing, and management's efforts to provide long term shareholder value through cost efficiencies will be appreciated by the market.</p><p>The regulatory landscape also seems to be improving, adding to the signs that the worst could be over for Alibaba. In the recent State Council meeting, the government is rolling out supportive measures, some of which are beneficial to Alibaba's business, including stimulating consumption and the commitment to the recovery of supply chains. Also, management commented that the government shared a clear message to the market to encourage the healthy development of platform economies and that management is fully compliant with all the regulatory requirements and continues to watch for any new development in policies on the anti-trust front. I think this shows that the government is sending a message that it will not clamp down too much on platform companies, but rather continues to see the benefits of the healthy development of platform companies for the economy.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>I have previously shared my financial model for Alibaba and derived a target price based on its sum of the parts valuation. I forecasted the financials and used a DCF model for most of its businesses except Cainiao, local services and its associates/investments since these businesses are mostly either private or have limited public information. I used rather conservative forecasts, in my view and also applied a holding company discount of 25%, with other assumptions listed in the table below. Based on the SOTP valuation, I have derived a target price of $164 for Alibaba, representing an upside potential of 76% from current levels.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59dd22bdbd3f84c78b77c121135b860d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Alibaba target price based on SOTP (Author generated)</p><p>Based on relative valuation, Alibaba now trades at 12x and 9x 2023F and 2024F P/E respectively, while average earnings growth over the 2-year period is expected to be 15%, implying a PEG of 0.8x.</p><h2>Risks</h2><h3>Competition</h3><p>While Alibaba might be the largest player in China, there are risks that competition could threaten Alibaba's market share in both China and in overseas markets. In China, it has to compete against prominent rivals like JD.com (JD) and Pinduoduo (PDD) in a rather mature e-commerce market. As for its international commerce segment, they face competition from international players like Amazon and Shopee, as highlighted earlier. Competitive pressure from both local and international players could slow GMV and user growth for Alibaba compared to expectations.</p><h3>Regulatory and political risks</h3><p>Alibaba is one of the worst-hit companies hit by the regulatory crackdown. However, I am of the view that we have seen the worst of the regulatory crackdown and the government is signalling easing of regulatory pressures, which I think are necessary for the government to improve its economy amidst its zero-covid policy. As such, the worst is likely over for Alibaba as most of the regulatory pressures have eased and we could start seeing better times for the company.</p><h3>Execution in investments</h3><p>Alibaba management has renewed focus on investing in key strategic areas in its business as mentioned earlier. However, this will come down to execution as Alibaba seeks to gain share in these areas. If execution were to be weak, ideal results of the heavy investments may not materialize.</p><h3>Cloud risks</h3><p>There is risk that Alibaba's cloud revenue growth could slow down given that there is competition from Huawei, Tencent and China Telecom. If Alibaba is unable to maintain market leadership in cloud, this could affect economies of scale effects that it currently enjoys.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>I think this presents one of the best buying opportunities for Alibaba as the worst is likely over for the company. Looking beyond 2023F earnings, the business is expected to continue to grow in the 20% to 30% range and the current valuation simply just does not price in this long term potential. I think we could continue to see positive surprises for Alibaba in the next few quarters as it surpasses the very low expectations set by the market. My target price for Alibaba based on a SOTP valuation model is $164, implying 76% upside potential from current levels.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba: One Of The Best Buying Opportunity As Worst Is Likely Over</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAlibaba: One Of The Best Buying Opportunity As Worst Is Likely Over\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-07 10:18 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4516754-alibaba-one-of-the-best-buying-opportunity-as-worst-is-likely-over><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For a company like Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) with sentiment at all time lows, the company's recent release 4Q22 results was a positive surprise for investors.

I looked into the recent quarter and was pleasantly surprised that there were signs of improvement and that the worst is likely over for Alibaba.Investment thesisI have written two deep dive articles into Alibaba that you can read further to learn more about the business as well as the regulatory risks of the company. My investment thesis remains as I continue to see Alibaba as currently one of the better risk/reward opportunities out there due to the following factors:1. China commerce: One of the most valuable assets Alibaba has is its huge consumer base of 1 billion users and spends $1,300 annually, which can bring about further monetization or help scale its other newer platforms.2. International commerce: This business is a low hanging fruit for Alibaba as it has a replicable strategy and strong moat, as well as logistics capabilities to compete with international e-commerce brands in international markets.3. Cloud: Alibaba will likely remain the leader in a fast growing cloud market in China and continue to look out for international markets to grow in. Furthermore, its in-house production of chips and development of OS could bring about further cost efficiencies and better products while reducing reliance on third party suppliers.4. Investing for growth in the future: Alibaba is reinvesting its incremental profits into its strategic businesses which, in my view, is necessary to ensure Alibaba is able to compete and win competitors. Also, Alibaba is continuing its mergers and acquisitions strategy to acquire new businesses to capture future opportunities or bring value to existing businesses.Cloud computing achieves scale and positive adjusted EBITDA marginsFor the cloud computing segment, it reported revenues of Rmb19 billion in 4Q22, which representing 12% growth year on year. This was compared to the prior quarter's growth of 20% year-on-year and prior year's growth of 38% year-on-year. The slowdown is due to weakness in certain sectors, slowing economic activities, and the company's strategic focus on higher quality revenues.In particular, the weakness came from the internet industries like online education and entertainment. According to management, the cloud computing revenue growth would have been 15% year-on-year if the revenues from its top customer in the internet industry, Bytedance were excluded. According to management, Bytedance apparently stopped using Alibaba's overseas cloud services for its international business due to requirements that are non-product related.As a result of weakness in the internet sector, the revenue contribution from non-internet industries increased to 52% as several sectors like telecommunications, retailing and financials reported strong growth to offset the weakness in the internet industry.On the margins front, the cloud computing segment posted positive 1% adjusted EBITDA margins in 4Q22, compared to -2% adjusted EBITDA margins one year ago. This was attributable to the gradual improvement in economies of scale for the business, as well as better loss control for Dingtalk. Management also expects that margins for the cloud computing business to continue to improve in FY2023 as top line growth continues. In my view, the margins profile of Alibaba's cloud computing segment is at a pivotal moment for the business as it transitions towards positive adjusted EBITDA margins with improving economies of scale.I think that is is also encouraging to see that management continues to see the long term potential in the cloud industry and Alibaba's cloud segment despite the near term blip. Management believes that the cloud industry can grow 2 to 3 times in the long run to reach Rmb1 trillion in the next few years. This comes as the cloud plays a key role for the development of the economy and for digital transformation. With that, the focus for Alibaba on the cloud computing sector is crucial, and management believe that Alibaba needs to cater to the differing needs of different sectors to be able to leverage on this huge opportunity in the long run. In my view, the other positive is that this will continue to drive top line growth and with the cloud revenues of the entire company already exceeding Rmb100 billion in the last fiscal year, this translates to huge economies of scale and potential for cost reduction and efficiency improvement that will further drive upside to cloud computing margins in the near term.China CommerceRevenues from the China Commerce segment grew 7% year on year to RMB 136 billion. There was a low teens year-on-year decline in GMV in April and management sees that there are signs of improvement in May. The total FY2022 GMV in China Commerce grew by 2% year on year.Alibaba continued to grow on the user front. China commerce Annual Active Consumers (AAC) reached 903million, up 21 million users from the previous quarter and up 89 million users from a year ago. Notably, of these increases, 70% are from less-developed areas. This is in line with Alibaba's push toward rural and less developed customers to grow its customer base.Specifically, we are seeing growth in Taobao Deals and Taocaicai. Taobao Deals AACs grew to more than 300 million, adding 20 million users in the quarter while paid orders on Taobao Deals grew 35% year on year in the current quarter. In addition, Taocaicai, Alibaba's community market place catered to lower tier cities and rural areas continued to grow AACs to more than 90 million and more than 50% of these were first time fresh produce buyers on Alibaba. Also, Taocaicai GMV continued to expand in the last quarter due to improving average order values.Alibaba recorded robust user growth compared to peers (QuestMobile; Goldman)While there were low single-digit declines in Taobao and Small online physical goods GMV, the customer management revenues (CMR) remained stable year on year. This was due to some offset by positive growth in advertising revenues.EBITDA declined RMB 7 billion to Rmb 32 billion, representing an EBITDA margin of 23%. This decline in EBITDA margins was due to the drag from Taocaicai and Taobao Deals as management invests in these relatively higher growths and newer businesses. In addition, Sun Art reported an RMB 1.4 billion loss, most of it due to an asset impairment provision.Management remains committed to improving efficiency and narrowing losses for Taobao Deals. Furthermore, management has been more disciplined in investment pace for Taocaicai to reduce its impact on margins to the group. It has done so by choosing certain target cities where it aims to improve order density and thus focus on establishing regional warehouses and infrastructure in these cities. Thus, the focus will be more on high-quality growth for the Taocaicai business.In addition, in my view, the combined losses from both Taobao Deals and Taocaicai has likely peaked in December 2021 and saw sequential declines in losses in the current quarter. I think we will continue to expect the combined losses to decline as management continued to focus on higher-quality growth for China's commerce segment.International CommerceRevenues from international commerce grew by 7% year on year as AACs grew by 4 million compared to the prior quarter, and 64 million when compared to the prior year. There was a growth of 32% and 48% year on year respectively for Lazada and Trendyol while AliExpress saw a decline in order volume. This was due to the changes in EU's VAT rules and supply chain/logistics disruptions due to Russia-Ukraine conflict, as highlighted by management. International commerce segment's adjusted EBITDA margin remained stable at -18% as the company continues to spend on marketing and promotions to increase user engagement and acquisition.International commerce remains to be one of Alibaba's key growth drivers to tap on less mature e-commerce markets outside of China. While there could be near term competition from other e-commerce companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Shopee, which is owned by Sea Limited (SE), Alibaba's international commerce can still ride the wave of increasing e-commerce penetration in these markets and post higher long term average growth rates than in the mature China Commerce segment.Local Consumer ServicesAs for the local consumer services segment, revenues grew to Rmb 10 billion, up 29% year on year. Ele.me, Alibaba's online food delivery platform, continued to show improvement in unit economics and is reaching near break-even due to improvements in the delivery cost per order as well as the company reducing spend on user acquisitions.As Ele.me continues to scale, its unit economics improvement, as well as the cost reductions made by management will continue to contribute to bottom-line growth for the Group.Stringent cost control and improving regulatory environmentManagement continues to be committed to add value by assessing the areas of its business where there can be further improvement in efficiencies and to reduce costs to make the entire cost structure of the business more nimble and lean. Some of these control in costs includes stringent control over sales and marketing expenses. This, in my view, is positive for Alibaba as the near term may prove challenging with top-line slowing, and management's efforts to provide long term shareholder value through cost efficiencies will be appreciated by the market.The regulatory landscape also seems to be improving, adding to the signs that the worst could be over for Alibaba. In the recent State Council meeting, the government is rolling out supportive measures, some of which are beneficial to Alibaba's business, including stimulating consumption and the commitment to the recovery of supply chains. Also, management commented that the government shared a clear message to the market to encourage the healthy development of platform economies and that management is fully compliant with all the regulatory requirements and continues to watch for any new development in policies on the anti-trust front. I think this shows that the government is sending a message that it will not clamp down too much on platform companies, but rather continues to see the benefits of the healthy development of platform companies for the economy.ValuationI have previously shared my financial model for Alibaba and derived a target price based on its sum of the parts valuation. I forecasted the financials and used a DCF model for most of its businesses except Cainiao, local services and its associates/investments since these businesses are mostly either private or have limited public information. I used rather conservative forecasts, in my view and also applied a holding company discount of 25%, with other assumptions listed in the table below. Based on the SOTP valuation, I have derived a target price of $164 for Alibaba, representing an upside potential of 76% from current levels.Alibaba target price based on SOTP (Author generated)Based on relative valuation, Alibaba now trades at 12x and 9x 2023F and 2024F P/E respectively, while average earnings growth over the 2-year period is expected to be 15%, implying a PEG of 0.8x.RisksCompetitionWhile Alibaba might be the largest player in China, there are risks that competition could threaten Alibaba's market share in both China and in overseas markets. In China, it has to compete against prominent rivals like JD.com (JD) and Pinduoduo (PDD) in a rather mature e-commerce market. As for its international commerce segment, they face competition from international players like Amazon and Shopee, as highlighted earlier. Competitive pressure from both local and international players could slow GMV and user growth for Alibaba compared to expectations.Regulatory and political risksAlibaba is one of the worst-hit companies hit by the regulatory crackdown. However, I am of the view that we have seen the worst of the regulatory crackdown and the government is signalling easing of regulatory pressures, which I think are necessary for the government to improve its economy amidst its zero-covid policy. As such, the worst is likely over for Alibaba as most of the regulatory pressures have eased and we could start seeing better times for the company.Execution in investmentsAlibaba management has renewed focus on investing in key strategic areas in its business as mentioned earlier. However, this will come down to execution as Alibaba seeks to gain share in these areas. If execution were to be weak, ideal results of the heavy investments may not materialize.Cloud risksThere is risk that Alibaba's cloud revenue growth could slow down given that there is competition from Huawei, Tencent and China Telecom. If Alibaba is unable to maintain market leadership in cloud, this could affect economies of scale effects that it currently enjoys.ConclusionI think this presents one of the best buying opportunities for Alibaba as the worst is likely over for the company. Looking beyond 2023F earnings, the business is expected to continue to grow in the 20% to 30% range and the current valuation simply just does not price in this long term potential. I think we could continue to see positive surprises for Alibaba in the next few quarters as it surpasses the very low expectations set by the market. My target price for Alibaba based on a SOTP valuation model is $164, implying 76% upside potential from current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":674,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9050705968,"gmtCreate":1654234436254,"gmtModify":1676535418065,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582520228861009","authorIdStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Don't feel good about <a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/FB\">$Meta Platforms, Inc.(FB)$</a>... maybe I don't have the sci-fi mind...?

Gang Ye, one of the other company founders, has lost $4.3 billion in wealth this year, while David Chen is no longer a billionaire.“In the current economic environment, the level of anxiety about the effects of anticipated rate hikes by the Fed, along with rising inflation and impact from the Russian - Ukraine war just aren’t good for risky assets such as tech stocks,” BI’s Naidu said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":490,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9020431163,"gmtCreate":1652670708352,"gmtModify":1676535138182,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582520228861009","authorIdStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope this comes true","listText":"Hope this comes true","text":"Hope this comes true","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9020431163","repostId":"2235462575","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":362,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067781788,"gmtCreate":1652511004644,"gmtModify":1676535114938,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582520228861009","authorIdStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope it's not going to be one hit wonder ","listText":"Hope it's not going to be one hit wonder ","text":"Hope it's not going to be one hit wonder","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9067781788","repostId":"1103124585","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1103124585","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1652489489,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103124585?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-05-14 08:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Did Rivian Just Spark a Huge Comeback for Electric Vehicle Stocks?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103124585","media":"investorplace","summary":"They caught fire, paced by better-than-expected business updates from EV makers Lordstown Motors (Na","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>They caught fire, paced by better-than-expected business updates from EV makers Lordstown Motors (Nasdaq:RIDE) and Rivian (Nasdaq:RIVN).

The highly anticipated ev","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Recently, <b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) celebrated the opening of Gigafactory Berlin. The highly anticipated event sent TSLA stock revving up as investors prepared for the electric vehicle(EV) company’s expansion into Europe. It didn’t take long for the factory to begin production, either. However, CEO Elon Musk is now already looking to expand the facility further. Specifically, Tesla is moving to acquire a large plot of land directly adjacent to the facility. That has both investors and consumers watching closely.</p><p>Despite this positive potential catalyst, TSLA stock has been declining today. Shares began the day by sliding into the red and have made no progress since. As of this writing, TSLA is down more than 8%. Although its pattern does hint at a rebound, the stock will likely end the day in the red.</p><p>That said, investors should note that there are several other factors outside of the company pushing TSLA stock down. For one, the Federal Reserve announced another interest rate hike yesterday. This has triggered a massive market selloff, sending many large cap stocks plunging across the board. Bearish energy is also surrounding Big Tech; names like <b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) and <b>Alphabet</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>) are dropping this week.</p><p>With the Berlin expansion in motion, however, TSLA stock should pull back into the green soon enough.</p><p>What’s Happening with TSLA Stock?</p><p>To start, let’s take a closer look at Tesla’s pending land acquisition. <i>Electrek</i> obtained a statement that details the following:</p><blockquote>“The Tesla company is planning to massively expand its property in Grünheide (Oder-Spree) […] Accordingly, the company intends to purchase approximately 100 hectares of land located directly east of the Tesla site between the RE1 railway line and the L23 and L38 state roads.”</blockquote><p>At present, Gigafactory Berlin is located on 300 acres owned by Tesla. According to the report, however, Tesla plans to purchase the additional land for a train station and further storage areas. As of now, the plan is for a railway to transport supplies into the factory while also moving completed Tesla EVs out. While this has yet to be finalized and no official price for the land has been set, <i>Electrek</i> speculates that the purchase will amount to around 13 million euros (roughly $13.7 million).</p><p>While details around this deal are still emerging, the purchase is unlikely to fall through. It also isn’t hard to see why the Berlin expansion makes sense for Tesla; the proposed railway would certainly help the company streamline production and churn out EVs at the new German facility. Throughout Europe, demand is only increasing— and Tesla is working hard to secure its market share.</p><p>What It Means</p><p>This Berlin deal isn’t the only recent expansion plan from Tesla. Specifically, the company has also confirmed plans to expand its Shanghai-based Gigafactory, ramping up production to 450,000 EVs per year. Tesla is clearly focused on shaping the Berlin facility in the same way, scaling production and upping efficiency. Once the deal is confirmed, TSLA stock should rise as the expansion boosts production.</p><p>All this is in keeping with Tesla’s mission of maintaining its spot at the top of the EV sector.

The highly anticipated event sent TSLA stock revving up as investors prepared for the electric vehicle(EV) company’s expansion into Europe. It didn’t take long for the factory to begin production, either. However, CEO Elon Musk is now already looking to expand the facility further. Specifically, Tesla is moving to acquire a large plot of land directly adjacent to the facility. That has both investors and consumers watching closely.Despite this positive potential catalyst, TSLA stock has been declining today. Shares began the day by sliding into the red and have made no progress since. As of this writing, TSLA is down more than 8%. Although its pattern does hint at a rebound, the stock will likely end the day in the red.That said, investors should note that there are several other factors outside of the company pushing TSLA stock down. For one, the Federal Reserve announced another interest rate hike yesterday. This has triggered a massive market selloff, sending many large cap stocks plunging across the board. Bearish energy is also surrounding Big Tech; names like Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) are dropping this week.With the Berlin expansion in motion, however, TSLA stock should pull back into the green soon enough.What’s Happening with TSLA Stock?To start, let’s take a closer look at Tesla’s pending land acquisition. Electrek obtained a statement that details the following:“The Tesla company is planning to massively expand its property in Grünheide (Oder-Spree) […] Accordingly, the company intends to purchase approximately 100 hectares of land located directly east of the Tesla site between the RE1 railway line and the L23 and L38 state roads.”At present, Gigafactory Berlin is located on 300 acres owned by Tesla. According to the report, however, Tesla plans to purchase the additional land for a train station and further storage areas. As of now, the plan is for a railway to transport supplies into the factory while also moving completed Tesla EVs out. While this has yet to be finalized and no official price for the land has been set, Electrek speculates that the purchase will amount to around 13 million euros (roughly $13.7 million).While details around this deal are still emerging, the purchase is unlikely to fall through. It also isn’t hard to see why the Berlin expansion makes sense for Tesla; the proposed railway would certainly help the company streamline production and churn out EVs at the new German facility. Throughout Europe, demand is only increasing— and Tesla is working hard to secure its market share.What It MeansThis Berlin deal isn’t the only recent expansion plan from Tesla. Specifically, the company has also confirmed plans to expand its Shanghai-based Gigafactory, ramping up production to 450,000 EVs per year. Tesla is clearly focused on shaping the Berlin facility in the same way, scaling production and upping efficiency. Once the deal is confirmed, TSLA stock should rise as the expansion boosts production.All this is in keeping with Tesla’s mission of maintaining its spot at the top of the EV sector. It’s not just the Shanghai plant that’s “back with a vengeance,” as Musk promised. It’s the entire company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":405,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":884299252,"gmtCreate":1631891127576,"gmtModify":1676530664100,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582520228861009","idStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree.

But still, the numbers are strong, as Rocket did $84 billion in closed loan volume in the second quarter, twice the amount done in 2019 and more than all of 2018. Rocket CEO Jay Farner expects a strong second half and anticipates that 2021 will exceed 2020's record amount of mortgage originations, he said on the second-quarter earnings call.</p>\n<p>Rocket's big advantage is its technology.

It has allowed Rocket to reduce its overhead and increase its efficiency as measured by a gain-on-sale margin that is higher than average. It's a competitive space, prone to market fluctuations, but Rocket has carved out its place as a leader and continues to gain market share.</p>\n<h2>Ford, at $13 per share, is banking on an EV future</h2>\n<p>Last spring, Ford was trading at below $5 per share; its recovery waylaid by the pandemic. But since then, the stock price has almost tripled to $13 per share, and the automaker has a bright future, illuminated by its focus on electric vehicles (EVs).</p>\n<p>Ford plans to invest about $30 billion in EVs and battery cells by 2025 as it accelerates its transition to EVs.

It, along with the F-150 Hybrid Powerboost, drove a 67% increase in EV sales in August. In 2022, EV versions of two of its most popular vehicles, the Ford F-150 truck, the best-selling vehicle in America, and the Transit van, the best-selling van, will be introduced. The fully electric F-150 Lightning already has 130,000 reservations.</p>\n<p>Ford is incredibly cheap right now, with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about six and a price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of around 0.12. With EVs as its catalyst, Ford should continue to grow from this low valuation through this decade and beyond.</p>\n<p>Investors would be smart to take advantage of this opportunity to buy these two great brands at great prices.

NIO's business is gaining momentum and the EV maker does a great job executing on its business plan.</p>\n<p><b>NIO continued to grow rapidly in Q2'21</b></p>\n<p>Competition in the Chinese market is increasing and EV makers continue to ramp up production and deliveries. NIO,XPeng(NYSE:XPEV)and Li Auto(NASDAQ:LI) saw record deliveries for the month of July and all three companies are now delivering about 8,000 vehicles each month. NIO's delivery growth was not as strong as the growth rates of its direct rivals, but a 124.5% Y/Y delivery growth rate in July is hard to criticize.</p>\n<p>NIO is even harder to criticize after it revealed its Q2'21 earnings card last week… which showed soaring revenues and narrowing losses. NIO's second-quarter showed 127.2% revenue growth over last year as the company recorded 8.45B Chinese Yuan in Q2'21 revenues ($1.31B). NIO's revenue surge is linked to the production ramp up of its various sport utility vehicles, soaring delivery growth rates despite challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic, and a denser product mix.</p>\n<p>In Q2'21, NIO delivered 21,896 vehicles of which 9,935 were ES6s, 7,528 were EC6s and 4,433 were ES8s. Total deliveries in Q2'21 surpassed Q2'20 deliveries by 111.9% as NIO was able to grow production despite a semiconductor supply shortage that limited factory output in the first six months of the year. NIO also revealed that it had a gross profit of 1.57B Chinese Yuan ($243.8 million) in Q2'21, showing 402.7% growth Y/Y. NIO executed its business plan very well over the last year and the growth in revenues, deliveries and gross profit is impressive.</p>\n<p>However, NIO is still not profitable. But since the EV maker is still in the ramp up stage and prepared to enter the sedan market in 2022 with its new P7 sedan model, NIO perhaps should not be expected to make a profit yet. Factory output and delivery growth are two metrics that are far more important for NIO and other EV makers than net profits.</p>\n<p>NIO's Q2'21 net loss was 587.2 million Chinese Yuan (US$90.9 million), but losses declined by 50% compared to last year's second-quarter. The loss per American Depositary Share/ADS was 0.42 Chinese Yuan which is the equivalent of 7 cents. NIO had a loss per ADS share of 1.15 Chinese Yuan (16 cents) in Q2'20. Estimates called for an 8 cent per ADS share loss on $1.28B in sales, meaning NIO's actual revenues were higher and losses were lower than expected.</p>\n<p>NIO's revenues keep increasing while losses keep narrowing...</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c460516ba75f4c50f6725956d825a4c4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Outlook</b></p>\n<p>NIO expects continual strength in its business as demand for electric SUVs remains high. For the third quarter, NIO expects to deliver between 23,000 and 25,000 vehicles as factory output increases and semiconductors start to see a better flow again. NIO's delivery range implies a minimum of 5% Q/Q growth in deliveries. I believe NIO could outperform its own delivery guidance if the semiconductor supply shortage eases and production choke points in Q3'21 are removed. Third-quarter revenues are expected to fall into a range of 8.91B Chinese Yuan ($1.38B) and 9.63B Chinese Yuan ($1.49B). NIO's guidance implies at least 96.9% Y/Y and 5.5% Q/Q growth in its top line.</p>\n<p>The outlook is very strong, considering that competition in the EV market is increasing and that automobile production is still hampered by the semiconductor supply shortage. NIO may not be growing as fast asXPeng or Li Auto in the short term, but NIO's business results and outlook are impressive in many ways: Doubling revenues and deliveries during the pandemic year is an achievement in itself and NIO is on a clear path to profitability... if it continues to execute its business plan well.</p>\n<p><b>NIO: It's all about growth</b></p>\n<p>NIO is not profitable, and despite narrowing losses, profits should not be expected in the short term. NIO is estimated to reach profitability in 2023, which is beforeXPeng (2024) and after Li Auto (2022). Purely from a sales growth perspective, Li Auto may be the best as the EV maker has a much lower price-to-sales ratio thanXPeng and NIO.</p>\n<p>XPeng is now more expensive than NIO, likely becauseXPeng is growing deliveries faster than NIO. However, NIO's battery-as-a-service subscription model and large investments in the expansion of its battery charging and replacement station network are set to boost NIO's revenue growth significantly this decade.</p>\n<p>BaaS-related revenues could result in an additional $500M or more in revenues annually for NIO by 2025. NIO's battery subscription model is a key differentiating factor.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Market Cap</p></td>\n <td><p>FY 2021 Est.

This is because the Chinese government is increasingly assertive and has started to crack down on various sectors of the economy, specifically the E-Commerce, technology and social media sectors.</p>\n<p>This accelerating government intervention is reducing the appeal of Chinese companies for US investors… although the risk of regulatory intervention in the electric vehicle market is low. Beijing promotes the adoption of EVs heavily and targets a 20% share of EVs by 2025… which makes it unlikely that the electric vehicle sector experiences the same crackdown as other sectors. However, Beijing getting more involved in the economy is not exactly helping the image of Chinese stocks in the US.</p>\n<p>Additionally, companies that list on an American exchange indirectly through American Depositary Shares - like NIO - don't have to submit audited financial statements to a US regulator. This means that the market depends on unaudited financial statements and a good amount of trust when it comes to investing in China-based electric vehicle companies.</p>\n<p>An interventionist Chinese government and the fact that China-based companies don't go through a rigorous process that makes sure that financial statements can be relied upon, are two big issues that may weigh on shares of NIO going forward. A de-listing of Chinese EV makers would be the worst outcome. In the case of a de-listing of China-based companies from US exchanges, NIO would become uninvestable. Right now, this is not the case and the risk of a complete de-listing is not high.

The EV maker is expected to be profitable in FY 2023.\nNIO raised its outlook, now expects to deliver up to 25,000 vehicles in Q3'21.\nBeijing’s hardening crackdown on Chinese companies may affect the market’s confidence in EV makers like NIO.\n\nSimonSkafar/E+ via Getty Images\nDespite surging revenues, narrowing losses and a strong outlook for Q3'21, shares of electric vehicle start-up NIO(NYSE:NIO)dropped after earnings. NIO's business is gaining momentum and the EV maker does a great job executing on its business plan.\nNIO continued to grow rapidly in Q2'21\nCompetition in the Chinese market is increasing and EV makers continue to ramp up production and deliveries. NIO,XPeng(NYSE:XPEV)and Li Auto(NASDAQ:LI) saw record deliveries for the month of July and all three companies are now delivering about 8,000 vehicles each month. NIO's delivery growth was not as strong as the growth rates of its direct rivals, but a 124.5% Y/Y delivery growth rate in July is hard to criticize.\nNIO is even harder to criticize after it revealed its Q2'21 earnings card last week… which showed soaring revenues and narrowing losses. NIO's second-quarter showed 127.2% revenue growth over last year as the company recorded 8.45B Chinese Yuan in Q2'21 revenues ($1.31B). NIO's revenue surge is linked to the production ramp up of its various sport utility vehicles, soaring delivery growth rates despite challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic, and a denser product mix.\nIn Q2'21, NIO delivered 21,896 vehicles of which 9,935 were ES6s, 7,528 were EC6s and 4,433 were ES8s. Total deliveries in Q2'21 surpassed Q2'20 deliveries by 111.9% as NIO was able to grow production despite a semiconductor supply shortage that limited factory output in the first six months of the year. NIO also revealed that it had a gross profit of 1.57B Chinese Yuan ($243.8 million) in Q2'21, showing 402.7% growth Y/Y. NIO executed its business plan very well over the last year and the growth in revenues, deliveries and gross profit is impressive.\nHowever, NIO is still not profitable. But since the EV maker is still in the ramp up stage and prepared to enter the sedan market in 2022 with its new P7 sedan model, NIO perhaps should not be expected to make a profit yet. Factory output and delivery growth are two metrics that are far more important for NIO and other EV makers than net profits.\nNIO's Q2'21 net loss was 587.2 million Chinese Yuan (US$90.9 million), but losses declined by 50% compared to last year's second-quarter. The loss per American Depositary Share/ADS was 0.42 Chinese Yuan which is the equivalent of 7 cents. NIO had a loss per ADS share of 1.15 Chinese Yuan (16 cents) in Q2'20. Estimates called for an 8 cent per ADS share loss on $1.28B in sales, meaning NIO's actual revenues were higher and losses were lower than expected.\nNIO's revenues keep increasing while losses keep narrowing...\nData by YCharts\nOutlook\nNIO expects continual strength in its business as demand for electric SUVs remains high. For the third quarter, NIO expects to deliver between 23,000 and 25,000 vehicles as factory output increases and semiconductors start to see a better flow again. NIO's delivery range implies a minimum of 5% Q/Q growth in deliveries. I believe NIO could outperform its own delivery guidance if the semiconductor supply shortage eases and production choke points in Q3'21 are removed. Third-quarter revenues are expected to fall into a range of 8.91B Chinese Yuan ($1.38B) and 9.63B Chinese Yuan ($1.49B). NIO's guidance implies at least 96.9% Y/Y and 5.5% Q/Q growth in its top line.\nThe outlook is very strong, considering that competition in the EV market is increasing and that automobile production is still hampered by the semiconductor supply shortage. NIO may not be growing as fast asXPeng or Li Auto in the short term, but NIO's business results and outlook are impressive in many ways: Doubling revenues and deliveries during the pandemic year is an achievement in itself and NIO is on a clear path to profitability... if it continues to execute its business plan well.\nNIO: It's all about growth\nNIO is not profitable, and despite narrowing losses, profits should not be expected in the short term. NIO is estimated to reach profitability in 2023, which is beforeXPeng (2024) and after Li Auto (2022). Purely from a sales growth perspective, Li Auto may be the best as the EV maker has a much lower price-to-sales ratio thanXPeng and NIO.\nXPeng is now more expensive than NIO, likely becauseXPeng is growing deliveries faster than NIO. However, NIO's battery-as-a-service subscription model and large investments in the expansion of its battery charging and replacement station network are set to boost NIO's revenue growth significantly this decade.\nBaaS-related revenues could result in an additional $500M or more in revenues annually for NIO by 2025. NIO's battery subscription model is a key differentiating factor.\n\n\n\nMarket Cap\nFY 2021 Est. Revenues\nP-S Ratio\nFY 2021 Est. EPS\nP-E Ratio\nEst.

This is because the Chinese government is increasingly assertive and has started to crack down on various sectors of the economy, specifically the E-Commerce, technology and social media sectors.\nThis accelerating government intervention is reducing the appeal of Chinese companies for US investors… although the risk of regulatory intervention in the electric vehicle market is low. Beijing promotes the adoption of EVs heavily and targets a 20% share of EVs by 2025… which makes it unlikely that the electric vehicle sector experiences the same crackdown as other sectors. However, Beijing getting more involved in the economy is not exactly helping the image of Chinese stocks in the US.\nAdditionally, companies that list on an American exchange indirectly through American Depositary Shares - like NIO - don't have to submit audited financial statements to a US regulator. This means that the market depends on unaudited financial statements and a good amount of trust when it comes to investing in China-based electric vehicle companies.\nAn interventionist Chinese government and the fact that China-based companies don't go through a rigorous process that makes sure that financial statements can be relied upon, are two big issues that may weigh on shares of NIO going forward. A de-listing of Chinese EV makers would be the worst outcome. In the case of a de-listing of China-based companies from US exchanges, NIO would become uninvestable. Right now, this is not the case and the risk of a complete de-listing is not high. However, if US-China relations deteriorate, NIO could face headwinds.\nFinal thoughts\nNIO had a great second-quarter that saw soaring revenues during the pandemic, narrower losses and a strong outlook for Q3'21… with potential upside in factory output as the semiconductor shortage eases.\nLosses are narrowing rapidly which means NIO could be profitable in FY 2023. Business performance is supported by strong execution and NIO will continue to grow rapidly. NIO's shares are a buy!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":240,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805580397,"gmtCreate":1627891864119,"gmtModify":1703497295113,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582520228861009","idStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tonight's US market showing will be interesting.

If you invest at the right time, this strategy is bound to generate handsome returns in the long run. Here are five such growth stocks to consider adding to your portfolio.</p><h2>Tesla</h2><p><b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:TSLA) revolutionized the auto sector with its electric cars. The company made electric vehicles mainstream and forced major automakers to shift toward electrification. Quality electric cars that can go long distances on a single recharge, along with a sufficient network of charging stations, have helped to relieve buyers' concerns of getting stuck with no place to charge a dead battery. These factors, coupled with a reasonable pricing structure, drove the demand for Tesla's cars higher. In five years, Tesla grew its revenue at an average rate of more than 50%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35a19fda4879668b3b319c2712c33908\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TSLA Revenue (Annual YoY Growth) data by YCharts</span></p><p>Moreover, analysts expect Tesla to grow its per share earnings at an average rate of nearly 50% over the next three to five years. Tesla also guides for 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries in the coming years. The company expects to start vehicle deliveries from its new factories in Berlin and Texas soon.</p><p>In addition to its existing models, Tesla's planned vehicles -- the Cybertruck and Semi -- are already receiving strong interest from potential buyers. The timetable for the launch of these two vehicles is less certain, though, as their respective launch dates have been pushed back several times.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ENPH\">Enphase Energy</a></h2><p>Solar technology company <b>Enphase Energy</b> (NASDAQ:ENPH) continues to enjoy a robust demand for its products. The company grew its annual sales at an average rate of 40% over the last five years. In 2021, Enphase's revenue grew by 78%. The company's microinverters clearly look to be the preferred choice among homeowners. That's because in addition to converting direct current to alternating current at the module level, Enphase's easy-to-use platform integrates solar generation, storage, and energy management on a single system.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/346a8322e3699969b6e31222914158ed\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"420\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>Analysts expect Enphase Energy's per share earnings to grow at an average rate of 40% in the next three to five years. Innovative offerings, a good control on costs, and a long growth runway are some factors that will drive Enphase's long-term growth.</p><h2>Amazon</h2><p>In five years, <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) grew its revenue at an average rate of 28%. That's also the average rate at which analysts expect per share earnings of the e-commerce giant to grow in the coming three to five years. Though Amazon is famous for its online retail business, it is the company's cloud computing business that's boosting its bottom-line growth lately.</p><p>In 2021, Amazon's cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), contributed 74% of the company's operating income. Interestingly, this business accounted for just 13% of the company's sales. What's more, AWS revenue grew 37% in 2021. Solid e-commerce operations combined with growing high-margin cloud computing business bodes well for Amazon's long-term growth. In short, Amazon is a no-brainer growth stock to add to your portfolio. The stock split and $10 billion buyback program are just icing on the cake.</p><h2>Nvidia</h2><p><b>Nvidia </b>(NASDAQ:NVDA) grew its annual revenue at an average rate of 34% in five years. In 2021, the company's revenue grew a whopping 61% to nearly $27 billion. Analysts expect Nvidia's per-share earnings growth rate to be around 24% over the next three to five years.</p><p>Nvidia's high-performance graphics cards are in huge demand in the gaming markets. Further, the company's graphic processing units (GPUs), coupled with its software and services, find applications in artificial intelligence, robotics, augmented and virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, and the metaverse. Given that each of these areas continue to see heightened growth, demand for Nvidia's products should remain strong.</p><p>Nvidia partners with major computer makers, including <b>Cisco</b>, <b>Dell</b>, <b>HP</b>, and <b>Lenovo</b>, and cloud service providers, such as Alicloud, AWS, <b>Baidu</b> Cloud, Google Cloud, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a></b> Cloud, and <b>Microsoft</b> Azure. Nvidia's leadership position in the GPU market means that the company may remain on its hypergrowth trajectory for many more years.</p><h2>Netflix</h2><p>In five years, <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) grew its annual revenue at an average rate of 28%. Netflix's high revenue growth showed signs of slowing down in the last couple of years. In 2021, Netflix's revenue grew by 19%, which was lower than its five-year average rate.</p><p>Netflix's slowing growth concerned investors and the stock has fallen around 48% off its 52-week high price, offering an attractive entry point for long-term investors. That's because Netflix's continued growth, albeit at a slightly lower rate, indicates the exceptional demand for its services.

If you invest at the right time, this strategy is bound to generate handsome returns in the long run. Here are five such growth stocks to consider adding to your portfolio.TeslaTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) revolutionized the auto sector with its electric cars. The company made electric vehicles mainstream and forced major automakers to shift toward electrification. Quality electric cars that can go long distances on a single recharge, along with a sufficient network of charging stations, have helped to relieve buyers' concerns of getting stuck with no place to charge a dead battery. These factors, coupled with a reasonable pricing structure, drove the demand for Tesla's cars higher. In five years, Tesla grew its revenue at an average rate of more than 50%.TSLA Revenue (Annual YoY Growth) data by YChartsMoreover, analysts expect Tesla to grow its per share earnings at an average rate of nearly 50% over the next three to five years. Tesla also guides for 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries in the coming years. The company expects to start vehicle deliveries from its new factories in Berlin and Texas soon.In addition to its existing models, Tesla's planned vehicles -- the Cybertruck and Semi -- are already receiving strong interest from potential buyers. The timetable for the launch of these two vehicles is less certain, though, as their respective launch dates have been pushed back several times.Enphase EnergySolar technology company Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) continues to enjoy a robust demand for its products. The company grew its annual sales at an average rate of 40% over the last five years. In 2021, Enphase's revenue grew by 78%. The company's microinverters clearly look to be the preferred choice among homeowners. That's because in addition to converting direct current to alternating current at the module level, Enphase's easy-to-use platform integrates solar generation, storage, and energy management on a single system.Image source: Getty Images.Analysts expect Enphase Energy's per share earnings to grow at an average rate of 40% in the next three to five years. Innovative offerings, a good control on costs, and a long growth runway are some factors that will drive Enphase's long-term growth.AmazonIn five years, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) grew its revenue at an average rate of 28%. That's also the average rate at which analysts expect per share earnings of the e-commerce giant to grow in the coming three to five years. Though Amazon is famous for its online retail business, it is the company's cloud computing business that's boosting its bottom-line growth lately.In 2021, Amazon's cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), contributed 74% of the company's operating income. Interestingly, this business accounted for just 13% of the company's sales. What's more, AWS revenue grew 37% in 2021. Solid e-commerce operations combined with growing high-margin cloud computing business bodes well for Amazon's long-term growth. In short, Amazon is a no-brainer growth stock to add to your portfolio. The stock split and $10 billion buyback program are just icing on the cake.NvidiaNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) grew its annual revenue at an average rate of 34% in five years. In 2021, the company's revenue grew a whopping 61% to nearly $27 billion. Analysts expect Nvidia's per-share earnings growth rate to be around 24% over the next three to five years.Nvidia's high-performance graphics cards are in huge demand in the gaming markets. Further, the company's graphic processing units (GPUs), coupled with its software and services, find applications in artificial intelligence, robotics, augmented and virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, and the metaverse. Given that each of these areas continue to see heightened growth, demand for Nvidia's products should remain strong.Nvidia partners with major computer makers, including Cisco, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, and cloud service providers, such as Alicloud, AWS, Baidu Cloud, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Nvidia's leadership position in the GPU market means that the company may remain on its hypergrowth trajectory for many more years.NetflixIn five years, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) grew its annual revenue at an average rate of 28%. Netflix's high revenue growth showed signs of slowing down in the last couple of years. In 2021, Netflix's revenue grew by 19%, which was lower than its five-year average rate.Netflix's slowing growth concerned investors and the stock has fallen around 48% off its 52-week high price, offering an attractive entry point for long-term investors. That's because Netflix's continued growth, albeit at a slightly lower rate, indicates the exceptional demand for its services. The company has a strong content catalog, and it is also exploring other growth avenues such as gaming, which could potentially be a significant growth driver.Analysts expect the company to grow its per share earnings at an average rate of 30% over the next three to five years. In short, Netflix is one beaten-down stock that you should consider buying right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":451,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9097241242,"gmtCreate":1645489111885,"gmtModify":1676534031985,"author":{"id":"3582520228861009","authorId":"3582520228861009","name":"CPCat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bafaf3d39abfb78a4bedf785310721a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582520228861009","idStr":"3582520228861009"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is it still worth it with 30% withholding tax?","listText":"Is it still worth it with 30% withholding tax?","text":"Is it still worth it with 30% withholding tax?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9097241242","repostId":"2212671969","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2212671969","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1645452001,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2212671969?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-02-21 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want $2,000 in Annual Dividend Income?

Whether you love chasing after the innovative capacity of growth stocks or prefer the simplicity of value stocks, either strategy can work wonders over the long run.</p><p>But when it comes to wealth building, few investing strategies have been more consistent than buying dividend stocks.</p><p>Although it's a report I reference often, J.P. Morgan Asset Management's comparison of the performance of dividend-paying stocks to those not paying a dividend over multiple decades speaks wonders. J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a division of money-center bank <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, found that dividend-paying companies returned an annual average of 9.5% between 1972 and 2012. By comparison, the companies not paying a dividend crawled to an annualized return of 1.6% over the same period.</p><p>Over time, we should expect dividend stocks to outperform. Companies that parse out a dividend on a regular basis are often profitable, time-tested, and have transparent long-term outlooks. These are typically companies that won't keep investors awake at night with worry.</p><p>Ideally, income seekers want the highest dividend yield possible with the least amount of risk. However, risk and yield tend to correlate once yields hit 4% or above. In other words, high-yielding stocks can be yield traps -- i.e., companies with enticingly high yields where the underlying business model is struggling or broken.</p><p>The good news is that not all high-yielding stocks are bad news. The following three ultra-high-yielding stocks, which are averaging (yes, <i>averaging</i>) a 12.32% dividend yield, can generate $2,000 in annual dividend income with an initial investment of only $16,250 (split evenly, three ways).</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NLY\">Annaly Capital Management</a>: 12.12% yield</h2><p>Mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) <b>Annaly Capital Management</b> (NYSE:NLY) is no stranger to ultra-high-yield dividend stock lists. It's perhaps the most-trusted ultra-high-yield stock, with an average yield of around 10% over the past two decades. The company has also doled out more than $20 billion in dividend income since its inception in 1997.</p><p>Mortgage REITs like Annaly have a relatively straightforward operating model, even if the securities they own can be somewhat complex. Annaly is looking to borrow money at the lowest short-term rate possible, and use this capital to purchase higher-yielding long-term assets, like mortgage-backed securities (MBSs). The wider the gap between the average yield on MBSs and the average borrowing rate (this difference is known as the net interest margin), the more money mortgage REITs like Annaly can make.</p><p>As you might imagine, the mortgage REIT operating model tends to be interest-rate sensitive, with lower rates often providing the best environment for companies like Annaly to thrive. Over the past couple of months, the interest rate yield curve has flattened a bit, with the 2-year and 10-year yields on U.S. Treasury bonds narrowing. Since the 10-year Treasury bond is a good predictor for where mortgage rates head next, this tightening has resulted in a shrinking book value for Annaly.</p><p>But if you pan out beyond just the next couple of quarters, there's a lot to be excited about. If the Federal Reserve does raise lending rates, as expected, it'll also lift the yields on the MBSs Annaly is purchasing. Over time, this will widen the company's net interest margin.</p><p>What's more, the interest rate yield curve spends a disproportionately longer period of time in steepening than it does flattening. That's because the U.S. economy spends years expanding, compared to a couple of months or a few quarters in recession. In short, patience should pay off handsomely for Annaly's shareholders.</p><h2>Icahn Enterprises: 14.44% yield</h2><p>Another high-yielding dividend stock that can deliver an enormous amount of income from a relatively small investment is diversified holding company <b>Icahn Enterprises</b> (NASDAQ:IEP). This master limited partnership has paid a quarterly distribution for nearly 17 consecutive years and is currently yielding north of 14%!</p><p>There are two key reasons Icahn Enterprises is a smart buy for patient, income-seeking investors (aside from its insanely high yield). First, you get the leadership of Carl Icahn, who's the founder of the company and the chairman of the board of directors. Icahn is arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the best-known activist investors on Wall Street. Activist investors usually buy up a single-digit-percentage stake in a company with the goal of gaining board seats or effecting change(s) to increase shareholder value. Sometimes this means pushing for the sale of noncore assets, introducing a capital return program, or perhaps putting an entire company up for sale.</p><p>The beauty of the activist-investor approach is that it usually benefits shareholders. While no activist investor has a perfect track record of success, Icahn has shown that he can help create value in virtually any economic environment. That's been demonstrated by Icahn Enterprises' 66 consecutive quarterly distributions.</p><p>The second reason this ultra-high-yield stock can be a foundation for income seekers is the cyclical ties of its core holdings. The company has more than a half-dozen different industries represented by its operating segments. But a large percentage of this representation is tied to the energy and automotive industries. As noted, even though recessions are inevitable, periods of expansion last considerably longer. This suggests the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over time will allow the value of Icahn Enterprises' cyclical holdings to increase.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AGNCO\">AGNC Investment Corp.</a>: 10.4% yield</h2><p>The third ultra-high-yield dividend stock that can pad investors' pocketbooks is <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AGNCM\">AGNC Investment Corp</a>.</b> (NASDAQ:AGNC). It has averaged a double-digit yield in 12 of the past 13 years, making it one of the most consistently high-yielding companies of the past decade.</p><p>AGNC is another mortgage REIT that investors can trust. It has the same basic operating model as Annaly Capital Management, with a unique aspect or two that income seekers should be aware of.</p><p>For instance, AGNC has been parsing out its dividend on a monthly basis since October 2014. Most dividend stocks and mortgage REITs, including Annaly, pay their dividends once a quarter. If you prefer the adrenaline rush of nabbing a payout from your holdings on a monthly basis, buying AGNC is the smart way to go.</p><p>Something else to note about AGNC Investment is the company's penchant for buying agency securities. An agency asset is backed by the federal government in the event of default. As of the end of 2021, $79.7 billion of AGNC's $82 billion investment portfolio was agency securities. This is an even higher percentage of agency securities, relative to total portfolio holdings, than Annaly has. Though this added protection does lower the yields AGNC nets from the MBSs it purchases, it also allows the company to deploy leverage to boost its profit potential.</p><p>The transparency of the mortgage REIT industry also allows income investors to make smart decisions. The stocks in this industry tend to trade very close to their respective book values. With AGNC's shares changing hands for just 88% of their book value at the time of this writing, it makes for not only an excellent income stock, but a fantastic bounce-back candidate from a share price perspective.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $2,000 in Annual Dividend Income?

In short, patience should pay off handsomely for Annaly's shareholders.Icahn Enterprises: 14.44% yieldAnother high-yielding dividend stock that can deliver an enormous amount of income from a relatively small investment is diversified holding company Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:IEP). This master limited partnership has paid a quarterly distribution for nearly 17 consecutive years and is currently yielding north of 14%!There are two key reasons Icahn Enterprises is a smart buy for patient, income-seeking investors (aside from its insanely high yield). First, you get the leadership of Carl Icahn, who's the founder of the company and the chairman of the board of directors. Icahn is arguably one of the best-known activist investors on Wall Street. Activist investors usually buy up a single-digit-percentage stake in a company with the goal of gaining board seats or effecting change(s) to increase shareholder value. Sometimes this means pushing for the sale of noncore assets, introducing a capital return program, or perhaps putting an entire company up for sale.The beauty of the activist-investor approach is that it usually benefits shareholders. While no activist investor has a perfect track record of success, Icahn has shown that he can help create value in virtually any economic environment. That's been demonstrated by Icahn Enterprises' 66 consecutive quarterly distributions.The second reason this ultra-high-yield stock can be a foundation for income seekers is the cyclical ties of its core holdings. The company has more than a half-dozen different industries represented by its operating segments. But a large percentage of this representation is tied to the energy and automotive industries. As noted, even though recessions are inevitable, periods of expansion last considerably longer. This suggests the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over time will allow the value of Icahn Enterprises' cyclical holdings to increase.AGNC Investment Corp.: 10.4% yieldThe third ultra-high-yield dividend stock that can pad investors' pocketbooks is AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ:AGNC). It has averaged a double-digit yield in 12 of the past 13 years, making it one of the most consistently high-yielding companies of the past decade.AGNC is another mortgage REIT that investors can trust. It has the same basic operating model as Annaly Capital Management, with a unique aspect or two that income seekers should be aware of.For instance, AGNC has been parsing out its dividend on a monthly basis since October 2014. Most dividend stocks and mortgage REITs, including Annaly, pay their dividends once a quarter. If you prefer the adrenaline rush of nabbing a payout from your holdings on a monthly basis, buying AGNC is the smart way to go.Something else to note about AGNC Investment is the company's penchant for buying agency securities. An agency asset is backed by the federal government in the event of default. As of the end of 2021, $79.7 billion of AGNC's $82 billion investment portfolio was agency securities. This is an even higher percentage of agency securities, relative to total portfolio holdings, than Annaly has. Though this added protection does lower the yields AGNC nets from the MBSs it purchases, it also allows the company to deploy leverage to boost its profit potential.The transparency of the mortgage REIT industry also allows income investors to make smart decisions. The stocks in this industry tend to trade very close to their respective book values. With AGNC's shares changing hands for just 88% of their book value at the time of this writing, it makes for not only an excellent income stock, but a fantastic bounce-back candidate from a share price perspective.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4101543957382650","authorId":"4101543957382650","name":"Furore","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78b52ae6486c5cd5de4a931acecdb214","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"4101543957382650","idStr":"4101543957382650"},"content":"$SASSEUR REIT(CRPU.SI)$ , $ASIAN PAY TELEVISION TRUST(S7OU.SI)$ , $MAXI-CASH FIN SVCS CORP LTD(5UF.SI)$ .

It's been over nine months since the benchmark <b>S&P 500</b> underwent even a 5% correction. Panning out a bit further, the widely followed index has doubled since hitting its bear-market low on March 23, 2020.</p>\n<p>Yet, even with the stock market mowing down record highs on a regular basis this year, Wall Street still sees value in a number of growth stocks. Based on the highest price target issued by a Wall Street analyst or investment bank, the following four growth stocks could deliver gains ranging from 116% to as much as 247%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F640299%2Fbull-market-rising-stock-chart-economy-bear-newspaper-getty.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Tesla Motors: Implied upside of 134%</h2>\n<p>Few stocks are as polarizing on Wall Street, from the perspective of price targets, than electric vehicle (EV) company <b>Tesla Motors</b> (NASDAQ:TSLA). Whereas <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> analyst foresees approximately 90% downside in shares of the company, another believes Tesla could \"motor\" its way to $1,591 a share. This would represent 134% upside from where the company ended this past week.</p>\n<p>On one hand, Tesla has clear-cut advantages that are driving it forward. For instance, its battery technology offers more capacity, range, and power than competing EV manufacturers. Tesla has also built itself from the ground up to mass production. Based on its second-quarter deliveries of 201,250, the company looks to be on its way to topping 1 million annual deliveries by as soon as next year. Finally, don't overlook that Tesla has visionary Elon Musk as its CEO.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, it's unlikely that Tesla will be able to hang onto its competitive edges over the long run, with auto stocks like <b>Ford Motor Company</b> and <b>General Motors</b> respectively investing $30 billion and $35 billion through mid-decade in EVs and related technology. Both companies plan to respectively launch 30 new EVs globally by 2025.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest concern is that Tesla hadn't generated a true operating profit until the latest quarter. Though it's been profitable for more than a year, the company had relied on selling renewable energy credits and one-time asset sales (e.g., <b>Bitcoin</b>) to generate a profit. If Tesla is ever going to hit $1,591 a share, its EV sales, not one-time benefits, will have to do the talking.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F640299%2Fmarijuana-cannabis-oil-pot-weed-leaf-drug-medical-getty.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"568\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Green Thumb Industries: Implied upside of 116%</h2>\n<p>Wall Street also sees U.S. marijuana stocks budding over the coming year. In particular, one Wall Street analyst believes multistate operator (MSO) <b>Green Thumb Industries</b> (OTC:GTBIF) can rally to north of $61 a share, which would equate to 116% implied upside.</p>\n<p>The great thing for U.S. MSOs is that they don't need federal reform to thrive. We've watched 36 states legalize cannabis in some capacity, which is providing more than enough of a growth opportunity for MSOs and ancillary players to succeed. By mid-decade, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data is predicting that the U.S. weed industry could bring in $41.5 billion in annual sales.</p>\n<p>Green Thumb currently has 62 operating dispensaries, with 111 total retail licenses in its back pocket and a presence in 14 states. This is a company that's been picky about its expansion and has generally focused on either high-dollar states or markets protected by limited license issuance.

A majority of the company's sales come from derivatives, such as vapes, edibles, and infused beverages.

With investment firm HC Wainwright recently anointing Exelixis with a $64 price target, the implied upside for shareholders is an insane 247%, based on where it closed last week. In fact, Exelixis' share price is currently below all 13 issued Wall Street price targets.</p>\n<p>If you're looking for a reason behind Exelixis' relative \"cheapness\" to Wall Street's price targets, the company's late-June interim data release from the Cosmic-312 study holds the answer. While the ongoing phase 3 study of Exelixis' leading cancer drug, Cabometyx, in combination with atezolizumab demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival for previously untreated liver cancer patients, the data looked unlikely to produce a statistically significant survival benefit.</p>\n<p>Although this might sound like a disappointment, it's par for the course when developing cancer drugs. Thus far, Cabometyx has been approved as a treatment for first- and second-line renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. These indications alone should push its annual sales past $1 billion in 2022.</p>\n<p>However, Cabometyx is being examined in around six dozen additional studies as a monotherapy or combination treatment. If even a handful of these trials succeed, label expansion opportunities could send Exelixis markedly higher. It's worth pointing out that one of these studies, CheckMate-9ER, already led the Food and Drug Administration to approve the combination of Cabometyx and <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b>'s cancer immunotherapy Opdivo as a treatment for first-line RCC.</p>\n<p>With a hearty cash pile and plenty of long-term momentum for Cabometyx, Exelixis looks incredibly cheap. I'm not certain that $64 is in the cards, but higher than where it currently sits is the direction it's likely headed.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>4 Growth Stocks With 116% to 247% Upside, According to Wall Street</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n4 Growth Stocks With 116% to 247% Upside, According to Wall Street\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-26 21:03 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/26/4-growth-stocks-with-116-to-247-upside-wall-street/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Patience has paid off handsomely for investors in 2021.

It's been over nine months since the benchmark S&P 500 underwent even a 5% correction. Panning out a bit further, the widely followed index has doubled since hitting its bear-market low on March 23, 2020.\nYet, even with the stock market mowing down record highs on a regular basis this year, Wall Street still sees value in a number of growth stocks. Based on the highest price target issued by a Wall Street analyst or investment bank, the following four growth stocks could deliver gains ranging from 116% to as much as 247%.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTesla Motors: Implied upside of 134%\nFew stocks are as polarizing on Wall Street, from the perspective of price targets, than electric vehicle (EV) company Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA). Whereas one analyst foresees approximately 90% downside in shares of the company, another believes Tesla could \"motor\" its way to $1,591 a share. This would represent 134% upside from where the company ended this past week.\nOn one hand, Tesla has clear-cut advantages that are driving it forward. For instance, its battery technology offers more capacity, range, and power than competing EV manufacturers. Tesla has also built itself from the ground up to mass production. Based on its second-quarter deliveries of 201,250, the company looks to be on its way to topping 1 million annual deliveries by as soon as next year. Finally, don't overlook that Tesla has visionary Elon Musk as its CEO.\nOn the other hand, it's unlikely that Tesla will be able to hang onto its competitive edges over the long run, with auto stocks like Ford Motor Company and General Motors respectively investing $30 billion and $35 billion through mid-decade in EVs and related technology. Both companies plan to respectively launch 30 new EVs globally by 2025.\nPerhaps the biggest concern is that Tesla hadn't generated a true operating profit until the latest quarter. Though it's been profitable for more than a year, the company had relied on selling renewable energy credits and one-time asset sales (e.g., Bitcoin) to generate a profit. If Tesla is ever going to hit $1,591 a share, its EV sales, not one-time benefits, will have to do the talking.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nGreen Thumb Industries: Implied upside of 116%\nWall Street also sees U.S. marijuana stocks budding over the coming year. In particular, one Wall Street analyst believes multistate operator (MSO) Green Thumb Industries (OTC:GTBIF) can rally to north of $61 a share, which would equate to 116% implied upside.\nThe great thing for U.S. MSOs is that they don't need federal reform to thrive. We've watched 36 states legalize cannabis in some capacity, which is providing more than enough of a growth opportunity for MSOs and ancillary players to succeed. By mid-decade, New Frontier Data is predicting that the U.S. weed industry could bring in $41.5 billion in annual sales.\nGreen Thumb currently has 62 operating dispensaries, with 111 total retail licenses in its back pocket and a presence in 14 states. This is a company that's been picky about its expansion and has generally focused on either high-dollar states or markets protected by limited license issuance. In Illinois, for instance, the number of retail licenses issued, in total and to a single business, is capped. This should give Green Thumb a good opportunity to gobble up market share in a billion-dollar market.\nBut the best aspect of Green Thumb is arguably its product mix. A majority of the company's sales come from derivatives, such as vapes, edibles, and infused beverages. Since derivatives generate higher margins than dried cannabis flower and are less likely to face supply issues, they're the reason Green Thumb has been profitable on a recurring basis for the past year. In other words, Wall Street's most aggressive price target may become a reality.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSkillz: Implied upside of 138%\nAnother high-growth stock at least one Wall Street analyst believes could soar is mobile gaming platform Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ). With a high-water price target of $25, the implication is that Skillz could return up to 138% for its shareholders over the next year.\nTo be upfront, Skillz has performed very poorly of late. It's lost more than three-quarters of its value since early February, which is a reflection of the company's operating losses expanding. Skillz has been increasing its headcount, marketing to expand its reach, and making acquisitions. This all points to ongoing operating losses for the foreseeable future.\nHowever, there's no denying the potential for this company, either.

The expectation is that NFL-themed games will hit its platform in 2022, which could bring in a number of new users and partnerships.\nWhile I do believe a $25 price target is possible, investors will need to exercise patience as Skillz focuses on expanding its brand.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nExelixis: Implied upside of 247%\nBut the crème de la crème of potential upside comes from biotech stock Exelixis (NASDAQ:EXEL). With investment firm HC Wainwright recently anointing Exelixis with a $64 price target, the implied upside for shareholders is an insane 247%, based on where it closed last week. In fact, Exelixis' share price is currently below all 13 issued Wall Street price targets.\nIf you're looking for a reason behind Exelixis' relative \"cheapness\" to Wall Street's price targets, the company's late-June interim data release from the Cosmic-312 study holds the answer.

(NYSE:PLTR) is taking over the world, and you're worried about one earnings announcement? Instead of posting a small profit of three cents per share, Palantir reported a loss of one cent per share. Many investors did not take the news well, and Palantir ended Monday's session down by about 14%. Additionally, Palantir dropped by another 8% by late Tuesday's session.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/577c4de0e0341969c2876744fe70f1e8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>PLTR(StockCharts.com)</p><p>Moreover, Palantir's stock is still down by about 80% from its ATH, floating around its IPO price from almost two years ago. However, Palantir is a high-growth company with a highly long growth runway. Furthermore, Palantir demonstrates substantial profitability potential and should become increasingly profitable with time. Also, as a Palantir investor, I am more focused on the 250% YoY increase in the U.S. commercial customer count rather than the one-cent loss.</p><p>Palantir is a rapidly growing monopolistic-style company that has the potential to take over the world. No, not literally, but Palantir's software products and services are being adopted by more and more agencies and companies in the U.S. and globally. Therefore, Palantir should continue expanding operations, growing revenues, and increasing profits as the company advances. This dynamic should lead to increased demand for the company's shares, and Palantir's stock price should appreciate considerably in the coming years.</p><p>Palantir is a monopolistic, high-growth company with a remarkably long growth runway and massive profitability potential. Moreover, Palantir has a significant competitive advantage - the U.S. government. U.S. government agencies prefer Palantir, and for a good reason. Before Palantir's solutions, agency databases were "siloed," forcing users to search specific databases individually. Now, everything is linked together using Palantir. For example, thanks to Palantir, the FBI can access critical data from a police department without going through miles of red tape.</p><p>There is some mystery about what Palantir does and what makes the company unique. In essence, Palantir's software combines various operational elements, making them work seamlessly and safely. Palantir could also be viewed as the master of data, and critical information, a remarkably profitable business in this age. Many market participants are too busy "counting pennies" rather than concentrating on the future.</p><p>I've said that Palantir does not need to be profitable now because specific companies (like Palantir) can increase profitability when their growth potential begins running out. For now, it does not matter if Palantir makes a modest profit or reports a slight loss in the greater scheme of things. It is enough that Palantir demonstrates the potential for significant profitability down the line. For now, Palantir should continue focusing on growing customer count, increasing revenues, hiring and retaining top talent, and providing the best products and services in its industry.</p><p>Furthermore, Palantir has worked closely with numerous government agencies for years, adding to the perception that Palantir is the most trustworthy company in its space. Thus, we see the continuous growth and increased interest in Palantir's solutions from commercial clients. Around this time last year, Palantir only had 39 corporate clients in the U.S.; now, that number is 119. In addition, Palantir's products are very sticky and have high switching costs. Therefore, once on Palantir's software, a company should become a long-term consumer of Palantir's products and services.</p><p><b>Q2 - Better Than The Initial Reaction</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e72499fcab454a0ee054156978ddb2c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Statement of operations(Investors.palantir.com)</p><p>We continue seeing robust revenue growth while the cost of revenue declines. YoY revenues jumped by 26%, but the cost of revenue increased by only 12%. Gross profit came in at $370.8 million, surging by 30% YoY. Therefore, we see Palantir becoming increasingly profitable with scale. This trend of higher profitability is constructive and should continue, becoming more pronounced as the company continues expanding operations and revenues in future years.</p><p>Additionally, we see a positive trend of lower operating expenses. Sales and marketing grew slightly, R&D declined, and SG&A expenses were roughly flat YoY. In general, operating costs fell by 4% YoY. Additionally, stock-based compensation continues declining, dropping by more than 30%YoY. The adjusted operating margin came in at 23%.

Yet, the company offers the top products and services in its space. If it did not, Palantir probably wouldn't be the contractor of choice for the U.S. government, including the DOD, CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies. Moreover, Palantir probably wouldn't be seeing such spectacular growth in the corporate space if its competitors had the upper hand. Furthermore, we see that Palantir has significant competitive advantages. Thus, we can conclude that Palantir could achieve widespread adoption in the corporate world. Suppose Alex Karp is right and large government, civil, and corporate institutions of the U.S. and its allies run significant portions of their operations on Palantir. In that case, the sky is the limit, and Palantir's stock price should advance significantly in the coming years.</p><p>Here's what Palantir's financials could look like in the future:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Year</b></td><td><b>2022</b></td><td><b>2023</b></td><td><b>2024</b></td><td><b>2025</b></td><td><b>2026</b></td><td><b>2027</b></td></tr><tr><td>Revenue $</td><td>2b</td><td>2.6b</td><td>3.4b</td><td>4.4b</td><td>5.7b</td><td>7.3b</td></tr><tr><td>Revenue growth</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>28%</td><td>25%</td></tr><tr><td>Forward P/S ratio</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>9</td><td>8</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>Price</td><td>$9</td><td>$14</td><td>$21</td><td>$27</td><td>$32</td><td>$40</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Financial Prophet</p><p>Palantir is trading around seven times forward sales estimates, and the P/S multiple could expand as the company advances.

For instance, if Palantir lost favor with the government or had a data breach, the stock could experience a notable decline.

(NYSE:PLTR) is taking over the world, and you're worried about one earnings announcement? Instead of posting a small profit of three cents per share, Palantir reported a loss of one cent per share. Many investors did not take the news well, and Palantir ended Monday's session down by about 14%. Additionally, Palantir dropped by another 8% by late Tuesday's session.PLTR(StockCharts.com)Moreover, Palantir's stock is still down by about 80% from its ATH, floating around its IPO price from almost two years ago. However, Palantir is a high-growth company with a highly long growth runway. Furthermore, Palantir demonstrates substantial profitability potential and should become increasingly profitable with time. Also, as a Palantir investor, I am more focused on the 250% YoY increase in the U.S. commercial customer count rather than the one-cent loss.Palantir is a rapidly growing monopolistic-style company that has the potential to take over the world. No, not literally, but Palantir's software products and services are being adopted by more and more agencies and companies in the U.S. and globally. Therefore, Palantir should continue expanding operations, growing revenues, and increasing profits as the company advances. This dynamic should lead to increased demand for the company's shares, and Palantir's stock price should appreciate considerably in the coming years.Palantir is a monopolistic, high-growth company with a remarkably long growth runway and massive profitability potential. Moreover, Palantir has a significant competitive advantage - the U.S. government. U.S. government agencies prefer Palantir, and for a good reason. Before Palantir's solutions, agency databases were \"siloed,\" forcing users to search specific databases individually. Now, everything is linked together using Palantir. For example, thanks to Palantir, the FBI can access critical data from a police department without going through miles of red tape.There is some mystery about what Palantir does and what makes the company unique. In essence, Palantir's software combines various operational elements, making them work seamlessly and safely. Palantir could also be viewed as the master of data, and critical information, a remarkably profitable business in this age. Many market participants are too busy \"counting pennies\" rather than concentrating on the future.I've said that Palantir does not need to be profitable now because specific companies (like Palantir) can increase profitability when their growth potential begins running out. For now, it does not matter if Palantir makes a modest profit or reports a slight loss in the greater scheme of things. It is enough that Palantir demonstrates the potential for significant profitability down the line. For now, Palantir should continue focusing on growing customer count, increasing revenues, hiring and retaining top talent, and providing the best products and services in its industry.Furthermore, Palantir has worked closely with numerous government agencies for years, adding to the perception that Palantir is the most trustworthy company in its space. Thus, we see the continuous growth and increased interest in Palantir's solutions from commercial clients. Around this time last year, Palantir only had 39 corporate clients in the U.S.; now, that number is 119. In addition, Palantir's products are very sticky and have high switching costs. Therefore, once on Palantir's software, a company should become a long-term consumer of Palantir's products and services.Q2 - Better Than The Initial ReactionStatement of operations(Investors.palantir.com)We continue seeing robust revenue growth while the cost of revenue declines. YoY revenues jumped by 26%, but the cost of revenue increased by only 12%. Gross profit came in at $370.8 million, surging by 30% YoY. Therefore, we see Palantir becoming increasingly profitable with scale. This trend of higher profitability is constructive and should continue, becoming more pronounced as the company continues expanding operations and revenues in future years.Additionally, we see a positive trend of lower operating expenses. Sales and marketing grew slightly, R&D declined, and SG&A expenses were roughly flat YoY. In general, operating costs fell by 4% YoY. Additionally, stock-based compensation continues declining, dropping by more than 30%YoY. The adjusted operating margin came in at 23%. The adjusted gross margin came in at approximately 80.8% for the quarter, demonstrating remarkable profitability and massive earnings potential.Q2 - Remarkable HighlightsQ2 highlights(Investors.palantir.com)We saw robust YoY revenue growth, with an ever higher 45% growth rate in the U.S. Palantir's commercial business is performing excellently, growing revenues by 46%, with outperformance in the U.S., increasing revenues by a whopping 120% in that crucial market.
