A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.</p><p>“The App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store.

Its Mac and iPad sales did better, with its computers up 70.1% and iPad sales growing nearly 79% on an annual basis.Apple said it would increase its dividend by 7% to $0.22 per share and authorized $90 billion in share buybacks, which is significantly higher than last year’s $50 billion outlay and 2019′s $75 billion.Here’s how Apple did versus Refinitiv estimates:EPS: $1.40 vs. $0.99 estimatedRevenue: $89.58 billion vs. $77.36 billion estimated, up 53.7% year-over-yeariPhone revenue: $47.94 billion vs. $41.43 billion estimated, up 65.5% year-over-yearServices revenue: $16.90 billion vs. $15.57 billion estimated, up 26.7% year over yearOther Products revenue: $7.83 billion vs. $7.79 billion estimated, up 24% year-over-yearMac revenue: $9.10 billion vs. $6.86 billion estimated, up 70.1% year-over-yeariPad revenue: $7.80 billion vs. $5.58 billion estimated, up 78.9% year-over-yearGross margin: 42.5% vs. 39.8% estimatedApple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June. It hasn’t provided revenue guidance since the start of the pandemic, citing uncertainty. This is Apple’s second quarter in a row with double-digit growth in all product categories. Apple CFO Luca Maestri told analysts that the company expects June quarter revenue to rise by double digits year-over-year, although it faces some supply shortages due to the worldwide chip shortage.Apple has said in the past months that its business has been boosted by the pandemic as consumers and businesses bought computers to work and entertain themselves while at home. But Apple’s strong results in the quarter suggest that the trend may persist as more economies open up.Or, as Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement: “This quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days ahead for all of us.”Mac sales were up 70%, and Cook said that the result was “fueled by” the company’s introduction of its Mac laptops that used its own M1 chips for longer battery life, instead of processors sold by Intel. iPad sales were up nearly 79% year-over-year.Neither of those results include iPad Pro or iMac models the company announced in March, which are expected to drive additional demand.“We’re seeing strong first-time buyers on the Mac … it continues to run just south of 50%,” Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “And, in China, it’s even higher than that … it’s more around two-thirds. And that speaks to people preferring to work on the Mac.”Apple’s iPhone also reported strong results this quarter, quelling fears that the current annual cycle could slow down. Last year, Apple released iPhones with a new exterior design and 5G support, which many investors believed could prompt a major upgrade cycle, which this quarter’s results indicate.In greater China, which includes the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Apple’s revenue increased over 87% year-over-year to $17.73 billion, although the comparison is to a quarter last year in which China was largely shut down in the early days of the pandemic. Every other geographical category, including the Americas and Europe, were also up on an annual basis.Apple’s high-margin services business, including iCloud, App Store, and subscriptions like Apple Music, also showed 26.7% growth.One metric that Apple uses to show the growth in services is the number of subscriptions it has, which not only include its own subscriptions like Apple One, but also subscriptions through its App Store.“We now have over 660 million paid subscriptions across the services on the platform, and that’s up 40 million from the previous quarter, which is an acceleration from 35 million,” Cook told CNBC.However, Apple’s App Store has been challenged by lawmakers and companies that say it costs too much and has too much power. A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.“The App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store. And, so, this has been just an economic gamechanger for not only the United States, but several countries around the world. And, we’re going to go in and tell our story. And we’ll see where it goes. But, we’re confident,” Cook told CNBC.Apple’s gross margin was also unusually elevated for the company. Most quarters, it tends to be in the 38% to 39% range, but in the quarter ending in March, Apple reported 42.5% margins.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":353,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":109997230,"gmtCreate":1619657950420,"gmtModify":1704727486145,"author":{"id":"3582149067958305","authorId":"3582149067958305","name":"FaithOngYY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f510757c0b140870cff28e2c7fab696a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582149067958305","authorIdStr":"3582149067958305"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It’s disappointing that Tesla shares went downafter a spectacular earnings this quarter! ???

As vaccinations accelerate and government stimulus measures support consumers and businesses, the economy is expected to surge once&nbsp;pent-up demand&nbsp;is unwound, and along with it, an array of new stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>In this year’s second half, industries that were hardest hit by the pandemic are expected to come roaring back. Vacation resorts, movie theatres, restaurants and airlines are each forecast to run hot in 2021 and beyond as people get out of the house and spend again on leisure and entertainment.</p>\n<p>In this article, we look at seven stocks that will benefit from pent-up demand.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>MGM Resorts</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MGM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Live Nation Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LYV</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>AMC Theatres</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>The Walt Disney Company</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Carnival</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Simon Property Group</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SPG</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Southwest Airlines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>MGM Resorts (MGM)</b></p>\n<p>Americans love gambling. Consider that more than&nbsp;$4 billion was wagered&nbsp;on the Super Bowl this past February and you get an idea of how big an industry gambling is in the U.S. And, as people again return to the gambling and entertainment meccas of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, it should benefit MGM Resorts, one of the leading casino and resort companies in the world with operations as far away as Macau, China.</p>\n<p>MGM used the pandemic as an opportunity to reposition and re-brand itself, moving away from gaming in casinos and vacation resort properties and focusing more on&nbsp;sports betting. That shift should help MGM by lessening its reliance on foot traffic at its casinos and as sports at both the collegiate and professional levels return with a vengeance this year.</p>\n<p>MGM stock has been one of the&nbsp;stronger reopening plays&nbsp;this year. Since January, the share price is up a cool 30% at just over $40.</p>\n<p><b>Live Nation Entertainment (LYV)</b></p>\n<p>Live music is a huge business. In 2019, before Covid-19 shut things down, the live music industry generated&nbsp;global revenues&nbsp;(subscription required) of nearly $30 billion. Last year, revenues were a third of that level at just $10 billion worldwide, according to market research firm<i>Statista</i>. This year, live music revenues are expected to be double the 2020 level at $20 billion and are forecast to reach $31 billion by 2024. All of this is great news for Live Nation Entertainment, the Beverly Hills, California-based company that promotes, operates and manages ticket sales for music concerts and other live entertainment events all over the world.</p>\n<p>To be sure, Live Nation had a rough go of it in 2020 as its revenue fell 84% from pre-pandemic levels. The company compensated by implementing $950 million of&nbsp;cost reductions. It also remains bullish on its prospects for this year, noting that 83% of customers with tickets to cancelled shows have opted to hold on to their seats until the events are rescheduled. Only 17% of ticket holders asked for their money back.</p>\n<p>Investors have responded positively to Live Nation’s cost cutting and outlook, pushing LYV stock up 11% year-to-date at $81.82 a share.</p>\n<p><b>AMC Theatres (AMC)</b></p>\n<p>AMC stock has been knocked around a lot this year, pushed up and down by the&nbsp;Reddit trading crowd&nbsp;that apparently finds it amusing to pump-and-dump shares of America’s largest movie theatre chain. Add in a narrowly averted bankruptcy filing and a recent analyst report that put a&nbsp;price target&nbsp;on AMC shares of $0.01, and it’s clear that it has been a challenging time for the Leawood, Kansas-based company that has been credited with popularizing the modern movie-going experience.</p>\n<p>However, despite all the drama, there is reason to be hopeful when it comes to AMC Theatres and the box office. While there have not been many blockbuster movies released in theatres in recent months, the opening of the film“Godzilla vs. Kong”at the start of April gave reason to cheer. The Warner Bros. movie had the best opening weekend for a movie since the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown theatres, raking in $32.2 million in domestic ticket receipts. Worldwide, Godzilla vs. Kong earned $285.4 million during its five-day opening weekend (Wednesday to Sunday).</p>\n<p>AMC stock has been whipsawed this year, but has been holding steady around $9.50 a share since the end of March.</p>\n<p><b>The Walt Disney Company (DIS)</b></p>\n<p>The Walt Disney Company has largely been propped up during the pandemic by the growing strength of its streaming service, Disney+. That the company launched its streaming platform less than six months before the Covid-19 pandemic forced the shut down of the company’s theme parks, cruise lines and resorts all over the world seems now like brilliant planning on the part of the Mouse House. Disney+ has, after all, added more than&nbsp;100 million subscribers&nbsp;since it first launched in the autumn of 2019.</p>\n<p>However, Disney+ remains only one part of the company’s business, albeit a growing part. And now that Covid-19 is in retreat around the world, Disney will&nbsp;reopen its theme parks&nbsp;and attractions this spring and summer that were almost entirely closed throughout last year.</p>\n<p>There’s also the popular Disney cruise line business to restart and new film and television production that will provide new content to Disney’s popular library, adding to properties such as Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar animation and more. All told, Disney should have a very big year in 2021.</p>\n<p>DIS stock has pulled back a bit in recent weeks at $183.15 a share, but it has been&nbsp;taking runs&nbsp;at breaking above $200 a share since mid-February.</p>\n<p><b>Carnival (CCL)</b></p>\n<p>Carnival Cruise Lines is ready to come out of dry dock and take to the seas again. This explains why the Miami, Florida-based company, the world’s largest cruise operator, is lobbying the Center for Disease Control to try and get its cruise ships sailing again.</p>\n<p>At stake is a share of the $16 billion in revenue that is expected to be generated by the cruise line industry this year. How soon Carnival is able to&nbsp;resume operations&nbsp;to destinations such as the Bahamas and Bermuda remains to be seen. But the pent-up demand should put wind in the sails of the company and CCL stock.</p>\n<p>Since the end of January, CCL stock has risen 26% to $27.34 a share. More gains are forecast as the company’s operations and revenues return in earnest later this year. The share price has pulled back from near $30 since the start of April as the company’s immediate prospects remain cloudy. But a bullish case can be made for Carnival as Covid-19 vaccines accelerate and the economy reopens. The medianprice targeton the company’s stock is right around $30 a share, suggesting a small upside from current levels. The high price on the stock is $41 per share.</p>\n<p><b>Simon Property Group (SPG)</b></p>\n<p>The shopping mall isn’t dead. Not yet anyway. While we’ve all increased our online shopping over the past year, people are itching to get out of their houses and go back to their favorite stores. Beyond that though, shopping malls are not just places where people go to shop. They are also where people meet to socialize with friends and families, grab a bite to eat and maybe see a movie. And this all bodes well for&nbsp;Simon Property, the largest shopping mall operator in the United States.</p>\n<p>With the economy in full recovery mode and a new round of $1,400&nbsp;stimulus checks&nbsp;landing in consumers’ bank accounts, retail stores and shopping malls are sure to benefit. The&nbsp;National Retail Federation forecasts that&nbsp;retail sales will grow&nbsp;nearly 10% this year to more than $4.30 trillion as consumer spending rebounds strongly from its pandemic lows.</p>\n<p>This optimistic forecast is reflected in SPG stock, which is up 36% year-to-date at $114.17 a share.</p>\n<p><b>Southwest Airlines (LUV)</b></p>\n<p>How will everyone get to their vacation destinations and travel to see friends and family in the coming months when the country reopens? Southwest Airlines, that’s how. The top U.S. airline for leisure travel is guaranteed to benefit from the reopening of the economy and pent-up travel demand. Already, air travel is moving higher with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reporting daily screenings of more than 1.5 million passengers, the most since&nbsp;before the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Southwest Airlines, which is the largest low-cost airline in the world, carries&nbsp;more domestic passengers&nbsp;than any airline based in the U.S. The carrier also flies to popular sun destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico, and aggressively markets its low fares and travel locations to the public.</p>\n<p>LUV stock has been a clear winner this year, with its share price up 32% year-to-date as investors increasingly buy into the reopening story and bet on&nbsp;revenge travel.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Stocks That Will Benefit From Pent-Up Demand</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\">\n7 Stocks That Will Benefit From Pent-Up Demand\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-25 15:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/7-stocks-to-buy-that-will-benefit-from-pent-up-demand/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These companies should benefit as businesses reopen, making these excellent stocks to buy\nRecent economic data shows that the U.S. economy is recovering at a faster pace than expected from the Covid-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/7-stocks-to-buy-that-will-benefit-from-pent-up-demand/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"LYV":"Live Nation Entertainment","SPG":"西蒙地产","MGM":"美高梅","CCL":"嘉年华邮轮","LUV":"西南航空","AMC":"AMC院线","DIS":"迪士尼"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/04/7-stocks-to-buy-that-will-benefit-from-pent-up-demand/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1187199650","content_text":"These companies should benefit as businesses reopen, making these excellent stocks to buy\nRecent economic data shows that the U.S. economy is recovering at a faster pace than expected from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Warner Bros. movie had the best opening weekend for a movie since the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown theatres, raking in $32.2 million in domestic ticket receipts. Worldwide, Godzilla vs. Kong earned $285.4 million during its five-day opening weekend (Wednesday to Sunday).\nAMC stock has been whipsawed this year, but has been holding steady around $9.50 a share since the end of March.\nThe Walt Disney Company (DIS)\nThe Walt Disney Company has largely been propped up during the pandemic by the growing strength of its streaming service, Disney+. That the company launched its streaming platform less than six months before the Covid-19 pandemic forced the shut down of the company’s theme parks, cruise lines and resorts all over the world seems now like brilliant planning on the part of the Mouse House. Disney+ has, after all, added more than 100 million subscribers since it first launched in the autumn of 2019.\nHowever, Disney+ remains only one part of the company’s business, albeit a growing part. And now that Covid-19 is in retreat around the world, Disney will reopen its theme parks and attractions this spring and summer that were almost entirely closed throughout last year.\nThere’s also the popular Disney cruise line business to restart and new film and television production that will provide new content to Disney’s popular library, adding to properties such as Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar animation and more. All told, Disney should have a very big year in 2021.\nDIS stock has pulled back a bit in recent weeks at $183.15 a share, but it has been taking runs at breaking above $200 a share since mid-February.\nCarnival (CCL)\nCarnival Cruise Lines is ready to come out of dry dock and take to the seas again. This explains why the Miami, Florida-based company, the world’s largest cruise operator, is lobbying the Center for Disease Control to try and get its cruise ships sailing again.\nAt stake is a share of the $16 billion in revenue that is expected to be generated by the cruise line industry this year. How soon Carnival is able to resume operations to destinations such as the Bahamas and Bermuda remains to be seen. But the pent-up demand should put wind in the sails of the company and CCL stock.\nSince the end of January, CCL stock has risen 26% to $27.34 a share. More gains are forecast as the company’s operations and revenues return in earnest later this year. The share price has pulled back from near $30 since the start of April as the company’s immediate prospects remain cloudy. But a bullish case can be made for Carnival as Covid-19 vaccines accelerate and the economy reopens. The medianprice targeton the company’s stock is right around $30 a share, suggesting a small upside from current levels. The high price on the stock is $41 per share.\nSimon Property Group (SPG)\nThe shopping mall isn’t dead. Not yet anyway. While we’ve all increased our online shopping over the past year, people are itching to get out of their houses and go back to their favorite stores. Beyond that though, shopping malls are not just places where people go to shop. They are also where people meet to socialize with friends and families, grab a bite to eat and maybe see a movie. And this all bodes well for Simon Property, the largest shopping mall operator in the United States.\nWith the economy in full recovery mode and a new round of $1,400 stimulus checks landing in consumers’ bank accounts, retail stores and shopping malls are sure to benefit. The National Retail Federation forecasts that retail sales will grow nearly 10% this year to more than $4.30 trillion as consumer spending rebounds strongly from its pandemic lows.\nThis optimistic forecast is reflected in SPG stock, which is up 36% year-to-date at $114.17 a share.\nSouthwest Airlines (LUV)\nHow will everyone get to their vacation destinations and travel to see friends and family in the coming months when the country reopens? Southwest Airlines, that’s how. The top U.S. airline for leisure travel is guaranteed to benefit from the reopening of the economy and pent-up travel demand. Already, air travel is moving higher with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reporting daily screenings of more than 1.5 million passengers, the most since before the pandemic.\nSouthwest Airlines, which is the largest low-cost airline in the world, carries more domestic passengers than any airline based in the U.S. The carrier also flies to popular sun destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico, and aggressively markets its low fares and travel locations to the public.\nLUV stock has been a clear winner this year, with its share price up 32% year-to-date as investors increasingly buy into the reopening story and bet on revenge travel.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":326,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375640330,"gmtCreate":1619337343220,"gmtModify":1704722640917,"author":{"id":"3582149067958305","authorId":"3582149067958305","name":"FaithOngYY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f510757c0b140870cff28e2c7fab696a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582149067958305","authorIdStr":"3582149067958305"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cant wait for #TSLA earnings!
