The table below shows Tesla's overall results compared to my three cases as well as Q4 results.If you take out the regulatory credit revenue and Bitcoin gains, Tesla's pre-tax result was an $86 million loss. It turned out that my GAAP EPS estimate was just a penny off, where I had too much product costs but not enough operating costs. The second half of that flowed through to non-GAAP results thanks to that CEO award resulting in a lot more stock-based compensation. Overall, these results were not as strong as many were looking for, which is part of the reason why the stock dipped about 2% in initial after-hours trading.The second key I talked about in my earnings preview was Tesla's production and its yearly forecast. There had been a lot of talk recently about thecompany potentially talking abouta million units of production this year. However, management did not really update its forecast in the investor letter, only talking about its plan to exceed 50% growth in deliveries this year. In the table below, you can see how the company's installed capacity has trended, but I will note that there was no unit increase from the Q4 report.(The \"actual / 4-qtr production\" figure is based on the latest quarter's production divided by the 4-qtr rolling average, so Q1 2021's 88.24% figure comes from the 180,338 units divided by the 204,375 rolling average.Source: Tesla quarterly reports on IR site,seen here)New Model S vehicle deliveries should start shortly, as opposed to Elon Musk's previous comments for them starting in February of this year. The first model Y units from Texas and Berlin should be delivered by the end of the year, along with the Semi. However, I should note that up until this weekend, Tesla's European sites showed Model Y production starting \"mid-year\", so this is a bit of a push back from that forecast.When we look at the balance sheet, Tesla reported a $2.2 billion decrease in its cash and cash equivalents in Q1 to $17.1 billion. This was mainly due to $1.2 billion net outflows in both debt as well as Bitcoin. This was partially offset by $293 million in free cash flow. However, just as we've seen in the past, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rose by $815 million, so Tesla would have not been free cash flow positive if it had paid some more of its bills during the quarter. Usually, this is function of rising production, but that barely happened in Q1 plus we had much lower costing vehicles accounting for a larger percentage of production with no new Model S/X units produced. Accounts receivable also increased very slightly over Q4 levels despite the sequential decline in revenues of more than $350 million.It will be interesting to see the reaction to this report, more than just an hour or so of after-hours trading where shares are down about $16 to $722. As the chart below shows, the stock has recently regained the 50-day moving average, which could provide some support. However, that key technical level is still declining, which could set up the dreaded death cross in a month or so if the current trend continues.In the end, Tesla's Q1 results were a bit disappointing. Revenues were basically in line with most expectations, but that was as a result of the largest quarter ever of regulatory credit sales. Excluding those highly profitable sales as well as some Bitcoin gains, Tesla would have lost money for the quarter. Also, management did not provide the big guidance boost many were hoping for, and the stock dipped about 2% in the after-hours session. Once we get the 10-Q filing and can fully digest all of the numbers, I'll be back with some thoughts on what to do with shares moving forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":593,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375639917,"gmtCreate":1619330292039,"gmtModify":1704722559197,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hjhjn","listText":"Hjhjn","text":"Hjhjn","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/996d2e5cca053bd3dda9dfb9d8d6c3d5","width":"750","height":"1654"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375639917","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":942,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375630011,"gmtCreate":1619330228833,"gmtModify":1704722559685,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TAL\">$TAL Education Group(TAL)$</a>ahhh","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TAL\">$TAL Education Group(TAL)$</a>ahhh","text":"$TAL Education Group(TAL)$ahhh","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9241261e0f0f77d1b3f87712dd847995","width":"828","height":"1434"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375630011","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1078,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375997144,"gmtCreate":1619273044588,"gmtModify":1704722021295,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bad&nbsp;","listText":"Bad&nbsp;","text":"Bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375997144","repostId":"1197391893","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197391893","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619185816,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197391893?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Business Output Expands Most on Record, IHS Markit Says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197391893","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Composite prices-received measure highest in data to 2009\nGauge of manufacturing orders second-stron","content":"<ul>\n <li>Composite prices-received measure highest in data to 2009</li>\n <li>Gauge of manufacturing orders second-strongest on record</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A gauge of output at U.S. manufacturers and service providers reached a record high in April, adding to evidence of stronger demand that’s fueling inflationary pressures.</p>\n<p>The IHS Markit flash composite index of purchasing managers at manufacturers and service providers increased to 62.2, the highest in data back to 2009, from 59.7 a month earlier, the group reported Friday.

In fact, over the last year, BABA stock is up just a bit over 10%. That is nothing to write home about. But the truth is the stock is now very cheap, and likely to do much better over the next year.</p><p>This is especially true now that the Chinese e-commerce conglomerate, with a similar business model to&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN)</u></b>, has weathered a lengthy review from Chinese regulators. On April 10, they accepted&nbsp;a $2.8 billion antitrust fine&nbsp;from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) in the PRC. This is effectively a slap on the wrist, as the fine represents just 4% of its 2019 revenue.</p><p>Analysts were uniform in arguing that this is a relief for BABA stock. One analyst from HSBC pointed out that this would&nbsp;not affect its gross merchandise value(GMV). Apparently what riled regulators were actions from one of Alibaba’s “Tmall flagship stores that are directly operated by brands.” The point is its fundamental business model won’t be changed or affected.</p><p><b>Comparing Alibaba’s Valuation</b></p><p>In my previous&nbsp;article at the end of last year,I compared the valuation of Alibaba stock to Amazon. I found that Alibaba was very cheap, as its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was one-third that of Amazon. This was the case even though both had similar price-to-sales ratios.</p><p>Well, the same is true today. For example, BABA stock has a&nbsp;forward P/E ratio (for 2021) of 22 times earnings&nbsp;(year ending March) and just 21 times for 2022, according to<i>Seeking Alpha</i>. Compare this to AMZN stock. Its 2021 forward 2021 P/E multiple (year ending December) is 70 times, and for 2022 is 50 times earnings. This means that Alibaba trades for under a third of the 2021 AMZN stock ratio and 42% of the 2022 ratio.</p><p>Moreover, Alibaba has similar, if not better, free cash flow (FCF) margins as compared to Amazon. For example, according to<i>Seeking Alpha</i>, during the last 12 months (LTM) ending in December 2020, Alibaba&nbsp;generated $27.148.02 billion&nbsp;on $98.686 billion, or a 27.5% FCF margin. But Amazon had $31.02 billion in FCF on $386.06 billion in revenue, or an 8% FCF margin. In other words, Alibaba has 3.4 times the FCF margins of Amazon.</p><p><b>What Alibaba Is Worth</b></p><p>So the Alibaba valuation is out of whack.</p><p>But maybe a 66% discount to the valuation is too much (i.e., the 2021 P/E valuation discount). For example, let’s assume there is just a 50% discount to the comparable 2021 P/E value (to account for the PRC discount) and a 40% discount to the 2022 valuation. That would give BABA stock a P/E ratio of 35 times for 2021 (i.e., 50% x 70 multiple) and a 30 times ratio for 2022 (i.e., 60% x 50 times).</p><p>As a result, the implied discounted 2021 valuation is$356.65 (i.e., $10.19 EPS for 2021 times 35 P/E) and $335.70 for 2022 (i.e., $11.19 2022 EPS x 30 P/E ratio). The average of these two target prices is $345.88 is still 50% above today’s price (April 20).</p><p>So, even after discounting Alibaba’s prospects by 50% for 2021 and 40% for 2022 (assuming the regulatory crackdown abates by then), the stock is still very cheap.</p><p><b>What to Do With BABA Stock</b></p><p>Many analysts fail to properly discount Alibaba’s valuation. They see the discrepancy with Amazon and other Western tech stocks and say this stock is worth three times more.</p><p>No one really knows where any of this regulatory scrutiny could end.

In fact, over the last year, BABA stock is up just a bit over 10%. That is nothing to write home about. But the truth is the stock is now very cheap, and likely to do much better over the next year.This is especially true now that the Chinese e-commerce conglomerate, with a similar business model to Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), has weathered a lengthy review from Chinese regulators. On April 10, they accepted a $2.8 billion antitrust fine from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) in the PRC. This is effectively a slap on the wrist, as the fine represents just 4% of its 2019 revenue.Analysts were uniform in arguing that this is a relief for BABA stock. One analyst from HSBC pointed out that this would not affect its gross merchandise value(GMV). Apparently what riled regulators were actions from one of Alibaba’s “Tmall flagship stores that are directly operated by brands.” The point is its fundamental business model won’t be changed or affected.Comparing Alibaba’s ValuationIn my previous article at the end of last year,I compared the valuation of Alibaba stock to Amazon. I found that Alibaba was very cheap, as its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was one-third that of Amazon. This was the case even though both had similar price-to-sales ratios.Well, the same is true today. For example, BABA stock has a forward P/E ratio (for 2021) of 22 times earnings (year ending March) and just 21 times for 2022, according toSeeking Alpha. Compare this to AMZN stock. Its 2021 forward 2021 P/E multiple (year ending December) is 70 times, and for 2022 is 50 times earnings. This means that Alibaba trades for under a third of the 2021 AMZN stock ratio and 42% of the 2022 ratio.Moreover, Alibaba has similar, if not better, free cash flow (FCF) margins as compared to Amazon. For example, according toSeeking Alpha, during the last 12 months (LTM) ending in December 2020, Alibaba generated $27.148.02 billion on $98.686 billion, or a 27.5% FCF margin. But Amazon had $31.02 billion in FCF on $386.06 billion in revenue, or an 8% FCF margin. In other words, Alibaba has 3.4 times the FCF margins of Amazon.What Alibaba Is WorthSo the Alibaba valuation is out of whack.But maybe a 66% discount to the valuation is too much (i.e., the 2021 P/E valuation discount). For example, let’s assume there is just a 50% discount to the comparable 2021 P/E value (to account for the PRC discount) and a 40% discount to the 2022 valuation. That would give BABA stock a P/E ratio of 35 times for 2021 (i.e., 50% x 70 multiple) and a 30 times ratio for 2022 (i.e., 60% x 50 times).As a result, the implied discounted 2021 valuation is$356.65 (i.e., $10.19 EPS for 2021 times 35 P/E) and $335.70 for 2022 (i.e., $11.19 2022 EPS x 30 P/E ratio). The average of these two target prices is $345.88 is still 50% above today’s price (April 20).So, even after discounting Alibaba’s prospects by 50% for 2021 and 40% for 2022 (assuming the regulatory crackdown abates by then), the stock is still very cheap.What to Do With BABA StockMany analysts fail to properly discount Alibaba’s valuation. They see the discrepancy with Amazon and other Western tech stocks and say this stock is worth three times more.No one really knows where any of this regulatory scrutiny could end. It is a massive, volatile, uncertain, and potentially totally destructive risk for owners of BABA stock. The market is not blind to this risk, which is why the stock is so cheap. However, I do believe that the market has overdone the risk discounting. It seems likely now that the stock will rise assuming that the government scrutiny is over.This could be a wild ride. Keep in mind that BABA stock carries huge risks, despite its massive profitability.  Nevertheless, right now it looks like the stock is worth about 50% more, or $345.88 per share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":891,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375994424,"gmtCreate":1619272976468,"gmtModify":1704722019657,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ah","listText":"Good ah","text":"Good ah","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc5b9be20e9ea67bb534310e6c2fd864","width":"750","height":"1654"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375994424","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":746,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375994256,"gmtCreate":1619272949175,"gmtModify":1704722019161,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No good&nbsp;","listText":"No good&nbsp;","text":"No good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375994256","repostId":"1176897400","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176897400","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619183071,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176897400?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Two traders pick their FAANG favorites ahead of earnings next week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176897400","media":"CNBC","summary":"The FAANG stocks are in for an eventful week.\nEvery high-profile technology stock in the group excep","content":"<div>\n<p>The FAANG stocks are in for an eventful week.\nEvery high-profile technology stock in the group except Netflix is set to report earnings in coming days.Alphabet will report on Tuesday,Apple and ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/two-traders-pick-their-faang-favorites-ahead-of-earnings-next-week.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

They’re dominating the market. They’re innovating every day,” he said. “There are Apple products in everybody’s households everywhere. ... Each generation has some Apple device. So, I think during this tech revolution we’re in right now, you’re going to see these two companies dominate.”\nHe suggested using Apple’s latest dip as a buying opportunity. The stock closed down more than 1% on Thursday at $131.94 a share.\nTwo other names have a stronger technical setup, MKM Partners chief market technician JC O’Hara said in the same interview.\n“Three out of those five stocks have been dead money since last August,” he said. “If you look at the charts, they basically have consolidated within a range. If we’re in a global bull market, I want to be in leadership. I want to be in stocks that are breaking higher.”\nOf the FAANG stocks, “that leaves us with Facebook and Alphabet,” said O’Hara.\n“When I dive into those two names, I think Facebook offers an attractive entry point right here,” he said. “It pulled back right to the old breakout spot, which to me says everybody who missed the initial breakout, we have a second opportunity right here to jump back in.”\n\nO’Hara expected the stock — which closed nearly 2% lower at $296.52 on Thursday — to rebound around the $300 level and eventually reach $340 a share, roughly 14% above its current levels.\n“I want to be in leadership,” he said. “I want to be in names that have already broken out.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":638,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375994609,"gmtCreate":1619272931601,"gmtModify":1704722019492,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Notrch bad","listText":"Notrch bad","text":"Notrch bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375994609","repostId":"2129035447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129035447","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1619184351,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129035447?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3M Earnings Preview: Here's What to Expect","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129035447","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Analyzing the investment case for 3M and why the upcoming results will be very closely followed.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MMM\">3M</a></b> (NYSE:MMM) is a company and a stock under pressure. The shares continue to look like a good value for the long term, but that depends on management delivering on its turnaround plans.</p>\n<p>The good news is that the company has plenty of financial firepower to do so and is actively pursuing changes.

The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry. And given weak end-market conditions in recent years, it's understandable if they have performed poorly.

In case you are wondering, the consumer segment received a major boost in 2020 from stay-at-home measures lifting home improvement sales.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Organic Sales Growth</p></th>\n   <th><p>2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>2019</p></th>\n   <th><p>2018</p></th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Safety&nbsp; &amp; Industrial</p></td>\n   <td><p>3.5%</p></td>\n   <td><p>(3.3%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Transportation &amp; Electronics</p></td>\n   <td><p>(7.1%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>(3.5%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Healthcare</p></td>\n   <td><p>1%</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.6%**</p></td>\n   <td><p>2.6%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Consumer</p></td>\n   <td><p>4.1%</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.3%**</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.5%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Total Company </b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>(1.7%)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>(1.5%)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>3.2%</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: 3M presentations. *3M shifted to operating out five business segments to four. **In 2019, The healthcare segment added the separation and filtration business, and the consumer segment added the retail auto care business.

The shares continue to look like a good value for the long term, but that depends on management delivering on its turnaround plans.\nThe good news is that the company has plenty of financial firepower to do so and is actively pursuing changes. The bad news: There's little hard evidence that the restructuring is having a significant impact, and the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27 might confuse more than it clarifies.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe case for buying 3M stock\nThe investment thesis is not based on the company that 3M is now, but on what it could become. Simply put, CEO Mike Roman's task is to use the company's substantive earnings and free cash flow (FCF) to turn around 3M's performance.\nThe company generates bundles of earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization (EBITDA), and FCF. Its price-to-FCF valuation looks cheap, especially compared to a multi-industry peer like Illinois Tool Works, trading at nearly 28 times its FCF.\nData by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.\nWhat's been going wrong\nThe reason 3M trades at a discount to Illinois Tool Works comes down to a combination of its potential legal liability for PFAS chemicals and its underperformance on earnings relative to management expectations.\n3M operates out of four segments. The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry. And given weak end-market conditions in recent years, it's understandable if they have performed poorly. However, what isn't forgivable is that the less cyclical segments, namely healthcare and consumer, have disappointed the most.\nFor example, back on investor day in late 2018, then-CFO Nick Gangestad outlined expectations for 2019-2023 total company organic revenue growth of 3% to 5% a year, with the healthcare segment up 4% to 6% and the consumer segment up 2% to 4%.\nWhile 2020's performance is understandable in the context of the pandemic, the performance in 2018-2019 is disappointing. In case you are wondering, the consumer segment received a major boost in 2020 from stay-at-home measures lifting home improvement sales.\n\n\n\nOrganic Sales Growth\n2020\n2019\n2018\n\n\nSafety  & Industrial\n3.5%\n(3.3%)\nN/A*\n\n\nTransportation & Electronics\n(7.1%)\n(3.5%)\nN/A*\n\n\nHealthcare\n1%\n1.6%**\n2.6%\n\n\nConsumer\n4.1%\n1.3%**\n1.5%\n\n\nTotal Company \n(1.7%)\n(1.5%)\n3.2%\n\n\n\nData source: 3M presentations. *3M shifted to operating out five business segments to four. **In 2019, The healthcare segment added the separation and filtration business, and the consumer segment added the retail auto care business. Both relatively small businesses.\nWhat 3M has been doing about it\nThe good news is that Roman is taking action, in particular with the healthcare segment. The non-core drug delivery business was sold for $650 million in 2020., On the acquisition front, 3M bought M*Modal's health information systems business for $1 billion in early 2019. Management followed up by buying Acelity (specializing in advanced and surgical wound care) for $6.7 billion at the end of 2019. Also, the food safety business is rumored to be another business that management is willing to sell.\nOn top of the acquisitions and divestment activity, Roman has restructured the company from five business segments to four and streamlined the operation by cutting positions. Also, he has changed the company's business model by allowing 3M's business groups to run on a global basis rather than being operated on a country-by-country basis.\nImage source: Getty Images\nIn case there are any doubts that turning around the healthcare segment wasn't the main focus, it's not a coincidence that the former CFO of GE's (NYSE: GE) Healthcare business, Monish Patolawala, was appointed as 3M's CFO in July 2020.\nIt's time for 3M to deliver\nWith all these actions in place, investors are entitled to expect improvements to start showing through in 2021, starting with the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27.\nUnfortunately, the company faced headwinds in the first quarter, and they are likely to make its earnings report messy.

case forAMC Entertainm","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>The oft-told story around AMC stock doesn't match the facts.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>There is a bull case for<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) stock. To be clear, I don’t subscribe to that case. But as with nearly every stock out there, a reasonable investor can make a case for being long.</p>\n<p>The end of the novel coronavirus pandemic should boost the company’s revenue after an abysmal 2020. Bulls believe that the “death of the movie theater” narrative amid the explosion of streaming services such as<b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>) is overwrought.</p>\n<p>There’s even the possibility of a long-term<i>benefit</i>to the business from the pandemic on the competitive front. Smaller, less-capitalized theatres have gone out of business for good. Just in Los Angeles, permanent closures have taken some300 screens out of circulation.</p>\n<p>Indeed, earlier this month one analystupgraded AMC stock. He argued that the performance of<i>Godzilla vs. Kong</i>shows significant pent-up demand for in-theatre viewing, and bodes well for AMC’s recovery going forward. Indeed, if, thanks to competitor closures, AMC can capture more of that demand in a less-supplied market, there’s an argument for further upside in the stock.</p>\n<p>Again, I don’t subscribe to that bull case. But I’ll grant that it’s reasonable. And I’ll grant that, like every investor, I’ve been wrong before and will be wrong again.</p>\n<p>But if you’re going to own AMC stock, you need a real thesis. Too many bull cases of late lack that thesis, with many based on three particularly faulty narratives.</p>\n<p><b>Where Was WSB?</b></p>\n<p>The narrative around AMC stock is usually entangled with the short sellers in the stock. In late January, AMC rallied along with<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>) on hopes of a so-called “short squeeze.” Since then, it hasn’t been hard to find vitriolic comments about “the shorts” and their menace to AMC and other stocks. And we’ve seen AMC stockholders hailed as something close to heroes for saving the company from the evil shorts.</p>\n<p>It’s too difficult at this point (and at the least would take too long) to disabuse some of the beliefs around short sellers as a whole. So let’s focus on how that narrative fails for AMC stock itself.</p>\n<p>First, AMC shareholders aren’t “saving” the company. If anything, they were late to the party.</p>\n<p>See, for instance, this Tweet which claimed the January rally allowed the companyto raise $900 millionand got over 16,000 likes. In fact, the capital raises came before the“Reddit rally,”and sent AMC stock to an all-time low.</p>\n<p>AMC needed a higher share price during the pandemic, when it was facing real risk of bankruptcy. WallStreetBets was nowhere to be found.</p>\n<p><b>The Short Squeeze in AMC Stock</b></p>\n<p>Second, a short squeeze is not an investing thesis. It’s a trading thesis. In fact, we’ve already seen this in AMC stock.</p>\n<p>If you believe that the January rally was a short squeeze (and I’ve argued it was in fact a“gamma squeeze”), what happened afterward? AMC stock plunged. It’s still down more than 50% from the highs.</p>\n<p>That’s not a surprise. That’s literally how it works.</p>\n<p>Shorts are forced to cover at<i>artificially</i>high prices. Once they do so, there are no buyers left at the highs. And the stock falls.</p>\n<p>That assumes another squeeze is likely. The data suggests otherwise.</p>\n<p>Short interest in AMC stock as of this writing is about 73 million shares. That’s about 31% of the float — a reasonably high number, admittedly.</p>\n<p>But short interest is also less than half average daily volume over the past three months. The idea that shorts are going to get “trapped” amid so much volume thus seems like a pipe dream.</p>\n<p>Even if it does happen, the point is to get out at the top. It’s to sell at $20 in January — not to own at $9 in April. Long-term investors who truly believe in AMC shouldn’t be hoping for a short squeeze. They should be hoping for a lower price to boost returns over time.</p>\n<p><b>The Pandemic Problem</b></p>\n<p>Finally, there’s a narrative that AMC stock is going to rise because AMC’s results are going to improve.</p>\n<p>That improvement is unquestionably coming. Revenue declined 77% year-over-year in 2020, obviously driven by closures due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.</p>\n<p>But AMC stock is pricing in a lot of improvement, and not just because it’s rallied 336% so far this year.</p>\n<p>Go back to the end of 2019. AMC had 104 million shares outstanding (roughly split between Class A and Class B). It closed the year with a stock price of $7.24, for a market capitalization around $750 million. Adddebt net of cashof $4.49 billion, and AMC’s enterprise value was $5.24 billion.</p>\n<p>As of Mar. 3, AMC had 450.2 million shares outstanding. Its market capitalization thus is $4.35 billion — nearly six times what it was at the end of 2019, obviously before the pandemic arrives. Add in net debt of $5.41 billion&nbsp;and AMC’s enterprise value is now $9.76 billion.</p>\n<p>Including debt, AMC’s valuation is nearly 90% higher than it was before the pandemic arrived. In fact, its valuation in 2021 is far higher than it’s<i>ever been</i>going back to its late 2013 initial public offering.</p>\n<p>So if an investor argues that the pandemic is going to lead AMC stock higher from here, they have to explain how AMC’s outlook is better in 2021 than it was in, say, 2015. It’s hard to see how that’s the case.</p>\n<p>The long-term trend of declining movie theater attendance remains.

To be clear, I don’t subscribe to that case. But as with nearly every stock out there, a reasonable investor can make a case for being long.\nThe end of the novel coronavirus pandemic should boost the company’s revenue after an abysmal 2020. Bulls believe that the “death of the movie theater” narrative amid the explosion of streaming services such asNetflix(NASDAQ:NFLX) is overwrought.\nThere’s even the possibility of a long-termbenefitto the business from the pandemic on the competitive front. Smaller, less-capitalized theatres have gone out of business for good. Just in Los Angeles, permanent closures have taken some300 screens out of circulation.\nIndeed, earlier this month one analystupgraded AMC stock. He argued that the performance ofGodzilla vs. Kongshows significant pent-up demand for in-theatre viewing, and bodes well for AMC’s recovery going forward. Indeed, if, thanks to competitor closures, AMC can capture more of that demand in a less-supplied market, there’s an argument for further upside in the stock.\nAgain, I don’t subscribe to that bull case. But I’ll grant that it’s reasonable. And I’ll grant that, like every investor, I’ve been wrong before and will be wrong again.\nBut if you’re going to own AMC stock, you need a real thesis. Too many bull cases of late lack that thesis, with many based on three particularly faulty narratives.\nWhere Was WSB?\nThe narrative around AMC stock is usually entangled with the short sellers in the stock. In late January, AMC rallied along withGameStop(NYSE:GME) on hopes of a so-called “short squeeze.” Since then, it hasn’t been hard to find vitriolic comments about “the shorts” and their menace to AMC and other stocks. And we’ve seen AMC stockholders hailed as something close to heroes for saving the company from the evil shorts.\nIt’s too difficult at this point (and at the least would take too long) to disabuse some of the beliefs around short sellers as a whole. So let’s focus on how that narrative fails for AMC stock itself.\nFirst, AMC shareholders aren’t “saving” the company. If anything, they were late to the party.\nSee, for instance, this Tweet which claimed the January rally allowed the companyto raise $900 millionand got over 16,000 likes. In fact, the capital raises came before the“Reddit rally,”and sent AMC stock to an all-time low.\nAMC needed a higher share price during the pandemic, when it was facing real risk of bankruptcy. WallStreetBets was nowhere to be found.\nThe Short Squeeze in AMC Stock\nSecond, a short squeeze is not an investing thesis. It’s a trading thesis. In fact, we’ve already seen this in AMC stock.\nIf you believe that the January rally was a short squeeze (and I’ve argued it was in fact a“gamma squeeze”), what happened afterward? AMC stock plunged. It’s still down more than 50% from the highs.\nThat’s not a surprise. That’s literally how it works.\nShorts are forced to cover atartificiallyhigh prices. Once they do so, there are no buyers left at the highs. And the stock falls.\nThat assumes another squeeze is likely. The data suggests otherwise.\nShort interest in AMC stock as of this writing is about 73 million shares. That’s about 31% of the float — a reasonably high number, admittedly.\nBut short interest is also less than half average daily volume over the past three months. The idea that shorts are going to get “trapped” amid so much volume thus seems like a pipe dream.\nEven if it does happen, the point is to get out at the top. It’s to sell at $20 in January — not to own at $9 in April. Long-term investors who truly believe in AMC shouldn’t be hoping for a short squeeze. They should be hoping for a lower price to boost returns over time.\nThe Pandemic Problem\nFinally, there’s a narrative that AMC stock is going to rise because AMC’s results are going to improve.\nThat improvement is unquestionably coming. Revenue declined 77% year-over-year in 2020, obviously driven by closures due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.\nBut AMC stock is pricing in a lot of improvement, and not just because it’s rallied 336% so far this year.\nGo back to the end of 2019. AMC had 104 million shares outstanding (roughly split between Class A and Class B). It closed the year with a stock price of $7.24, for a market capitalization around $750 million. Adddebt net of cashof $4.49 billion, and AMC’s enterprise value was $5.24 billion.\nAs of Mar. 3, AMC had 450.2 million shares outstanding. Its market capitalization thus is $4.35 billion — nearly six times what it was at the end of 2019, obviously before the pandemic arrives. Add in net debt of $5.41 billion and AMC’s enterprise value is now $9.76 billion.\nIncluding debt, AMC’s valuation is nearly 90% higher than it was before the pandemic arrived. In fact, its valuation in 2021 is far higher than it’sever beengoing back to its late 2013 initial public offering.\nSo if an investor argues that the pandemic is going to lead AMC stock higher from here, they have to explain how AMC’s outlook is better in 2021 than it was in, say, 2015. It’s hard to see how that’s the case.\nThe long-term trend of declining movie theater attendance remains. AMC’s debt load is higher, thanks to cash burned last year.\nNetflix has been joined byDisney(NYSE:DIS) andAT&T(NYSE:T), among many others, to launch streaming platforms. Those platforms have driven an explosion in content spend that creates television series that are as good or better than movies.\nAn investor can dispute these points, certainly. At this valuation, they’d better.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":391,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378051100,"gmtCreate":1618983315800,"gmtModify":1704717863638,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hujhh","listText":"Hujhh","text":"Hujhh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378051100","repostId":"1115421765","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378053406,"gmtCreate":1618983250105,"gmtModify":1704717862824,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ah","listText":"Good ah","text":"Good ah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378053406","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":212,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379523348,"gmtCreate":1618773644384,"gmtModify":1704714693100,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lousy ah","listText":"Lousy ah","text":"Lousy ah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379523348","repostId":"2128868471","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379523961,"gmtCreate":1618773630953,"gmtModify":1704714692939,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No good","listText":"No good","text":"No good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379523961","repostId":"2128787868","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":194,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379523059,"gmtCreate":1618773527171,"gmtModify":1704714692778,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like shit ah","listText":"Like shit ah","text":"Like shit ah","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/552c6c536662dc171fc1cf9b2a5edbe9","width":"750","height":"1654"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379523059","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":356,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":377872198,"gmtCreate":1619519375614,"gmtModify":1704725287523,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lol the results were not disappointing.

An approximate 25% market share compared to its top two competitors isn’t bad, but it isn’t great either. Accordingly, it appears the jury’s still out on which company will be the longer-term market leader in China.Q2 Production Headwinds an IssueRecentcommentsby Nio’s founder and CEO William Li have provided another cause for concern for investors in NIO stock.This time, the issue is once again with a global chip shortage. Li said:“We still face difficulties in achieving our production goal — the issue (of chip shortage) remains tough in the second quarter, but it will affect our production only in the near term.”Concerns are that the global chip shortage could result in Nio missing its production targets. Given how much growth is priced into EV stocks, that’s not a good thing. The company’s target of assembling 7,500 cars in Q2 appears to be at risk, and investors are pricing this risk into NIO stock today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341392152,"gmtCreate":1617779113576,"gmtModify":1704703015368,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341392152","repostId":"2125271673","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2125271673","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1617776593,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2125271673?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-07 14:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon CEO Bezos, stung by wide criticism, endorses U.S. corporate tax hike","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2125271673","media":"Reuters","summary":"WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc supports a hike in the U.S. corporate tax rate as par","content":"<p>WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc supports a hike in the U.S. corporate tax rate as part of an infrastructure overhaul, Jeff Bezos, chief executive of the largest U.S. retailer, said on Tuesday after facing withering criticism from the White House, Congress and on social media.</p>\n<p>“We support the Biden Administration’s focus on making bold investments in American infrastructure,” Bezos said in a blog post. “We recognize this investment will require concessions from all sides — both on the specifics of what’s included as well as how it gets paid for (we’re supportive of a rise in the corporate tax rate).”</p>\n<p>The largest online U.S. retailer, which has been widely criticized in recent years for paying little or no U.S. federal income tax, did not endorse raising rates to a specific figure.</p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately comment.</p>\n<p>Biden’s infrastructure plan proposes increasing the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21% and would revise the tax code to close loopholes that allow companies to move profits overseas</p>\n<p>Biden said last week Amazon was one of 91 Fortune 500 companies that “use various loopholes where they pay not a single solitary penny in federal income tax,” in sharp contrast to middle class families paying over 20% tax rates.</p>\n<p>Bezos is stepping down from the CEO role during third quarter of 2021.</p>\n<p>After paying no federal income tax in 2017 or 2018, Amazon reported a $162 million current U.S. federal tax liability for 2019 and $1.835 billion U.S. federal tax liability for 2020.</p>\n<p>Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, and Republican lawmakers cut the corporate rate to 21% in 2017 from 35%.

The shares continue to look like a good value for the long term, but that depends on management delivering on its turnaround plans.</p>\n<p>The good news is that the company has plenty of financial firepower to do so and is actively pursuing changes. The bad news: There's little hard evidence that the restructuring is having a significant impact, and the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27 might confuse more than it clarifies.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3a0b0ee67bc486cd5307d517dfdc5a2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The case for buying 3M stock</h2>\n<p>The investment thesis is not based on the company that 3M is now, but on what it could become. Simply put, CEO Mike Roman's task is to use the company's substantive earnings and free cash flow (FCF) to&nbsp;turn around 3M's performance.</p>\n<p>The company generates bundles of earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization (EBITDA), and FCF. Its price-to-FCF valuation looks cheap, especially compared to a multi-industry peer like <b>Illinois Tool Works</b>, trading at nearly 28 times its FCF.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6ecd09a228dcf915ce4d3bbf06dff77\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.</span></p>\n<h2>What's been going wrong</h2>\n<p>The reason 3M trades at a discount to Illinois Tool Works comes down to a combination of its potential legal liability for PFAS&nbsp;chemicals and its underperformance on earnings relative to management expectations.</p>\n<p>3M operates out of four segments. The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry. And given weak end-market conditions in recent years, it's understandable if they have performed poorly. However, what isn't forgivable is that the <i>less cyclical </i>segments, namely healthcare and consumer, have disappointed the most.</p>\n<p>For example, back on investor day in late 2018, then-CFO Nick Gangestad outlined expectations for 2019-2023 total company organic revenue growth of 3% to 5% a year, with the healthcare segment up 4% to 6% and the consumer segment up 2% to 4%.</p>\n<p>While 2020's performance is understandable in the context of the pandemic, the performance in 2018-2019 is disappointing. In case you are wondering, the consumer segment received a major boost in 2020 from stay-at-home measures lifting home improvement sales.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Organic Sales Growth</p></th>\n   <th><p>2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>2019</p></th>\n   <th><p>2018</p></th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Safety&nbsp; &amp; Industrial</p></td>\n   <td><p>3.5%</p></td>\n   <td><p>(3.3%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Transportation &amp; Electronics</p></td>\n   <td><p>(7.1%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>(3.5%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Healthcare</p></td>\n   <td><p>1%</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.6%**</p></td>\n   <td><p>2.6%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Consumer</p></td>\n   <td><p>4.1%</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.3%**</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.5%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Total Company </b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>(1.7%)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>(1.5%)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>3.2%</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: 3M presentations. *3M shifted to operating out five business segments to four. **In 2019, The healthcare segment added the separation and filtration business, and the consumer segment added the retail auto care business. Both relatively small businesses.</p>\n<h2>What 3M has been doing about it</h2>\n<p>The good news is that Roman is taking action, in particular with the healthcare segment. The non-core drug delivery business was sold for $650 million in 2020., On the acquisition front, 3M bought M*Modal's health information systems business for $1 billion in early 2019. Management followed up by buying Acelity (specializing in advanced and surgical wound care) for $6.7 billion at the end of 2019. Also, the food safety business is rumored to be another business that management is willing to sell.</p>\n<p>On top of the acquisitions and divestment activity, Roman has restructured the company from five business segments to four and streamlined the operation by cutting positions. Also, he has changed the company's business model by allowing 3M's business groups to run on a global basis rather than being operated on a country-by-country basis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a89ca2eece43ee0d5bf19e320480af6a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>In case there are any doubts that turning around the healthcare segment wasn't the main focus, it's not a coincidence that the former CFO of <b>GE</b>'s (NYSE: GE) Healthcare business, Monish Patolawala, was appointed as 3M's CFO in July 2020.</p>\n<h2>It's time for 3M to deliver</h2>\n<p>With all these actions in place, investors are entitled to expect improvements to start showing through in 2021, starting with the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the company faced headwinds in the first quarter, and they are likely to make its earnings report messy. For example, automotive production (a major end market for 3M across its industrial segments) has been hit by the semiconductor shortage, and rising raw material costs are eating into profit margins, according to Patolawala. Meanwhile, healthcare is likely to be impacted by the pandemic in the first quarter.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, the recovery in the industrial economy is taking shape in the U.S., and many of 3M's end markets will be strengthening.

The shares continue to look like a good value for the long term, but that depends on management delivering on its turnaround plans.\nThe good news is that the company has plenty of financial firepower to do so and is actively pursuing changes. The bad news: There's little hard evidence that the restructuring is having a significant impact, and the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27 might confuse more than it clarifies.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe case for buying 3M stock\nThe investment thesis is not based on the company that 3M is now, but on what it could become. Simply put, CEO Mike Roman's task is to use the company's substantive earnings and free cash flow (FCF) to turn around 3M's performance.\nThe company generates bundles of earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization (EBITDA), and FCF. Its price-to-FCF valuation looks cheap, especially compared to a multi-industry peer like Illinois Tool Works, trading at nearly 28 times its FCF.\nData by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.\nWhat's been going wrong\nThe reason 3M trades at a discount to Illinois Tool Works comes down to a combination of its potential legal liability for PFAS chemicals and its underperformance on earnings relative to management expectations.\n3M operates out of four segments. The safety and industrial segment and the transportation and electronics segment have significant exposure to the industrial economy and automotive industry. And given weak end-market conditions in recent years, it's understandable if they have performed poorly. However, what isn't forgivable is that the less cyclical segments, namely healthcare and consumer, have disappointed the most.\nFor example, back on investor day in late 2018, then-CFO Nick Gangestad outlined expectations for 2019-2023 total company organic revenue growth of 3% to 5% a year, with the healthcare segment up 4% to 6% and the consumer segment up 2% to 4%.\nWhile 2020's performance is understandable in the context of the pandemic, the performance in 2018-2019 is disappointing. In case you are wondering, the consumer segment received a major boost in 2020 from stay-at-home measures lifting home improvement sales.\n\n\n\nOrganic Sales Growth\n2020\n2019\n2018\n\n\nSafety  & Industrial\n3.5%\n(3.3%)\nN/A*\n\n\nTransportation & Electronics\n(7.1%)\n(3.5%)\nN/A*\n\n\nHealthcare\n1%\n1.6%**\n2.6%\n\n\nConsumer\n4.1%\n1.3%**\n1.5%\n\n\nTotal Company \n(1.7%)\n(1.5%)\n3.2%\n\n\n\nData source: 3M presentations. *3M shifted to operating out five business segments to four. **In 2019, The healthcare segment added the separation and filtration business, and the consumer segment added the retail auto care business. Both relatively small businesses.\nWhat 3M has been doing about it\nThe good news is that Roman is taking action, in particular with the healthcare segment. The non-core drug delivery business was sold for $650 million in 2020., On the acquisition front, 3M bought M*Modal's health information systems business for $1 billion in early 2019. Management followed up by buying Acelity (specializing in advanced and surgical wound care) for $6.7 billion at the end of 2019. Also, the food safety business is rumored to be another business that management is willing to sell.\nOn top of the acquisitions and divestment activity, Roman has restructured the company from five business segments to four and streamlined the operation by cutting positions. Also, he has changed the company's business model by allowing 3M's business groups to run on a global basis rather than being operated on a country-by-country basis.\nImage source: Getty Images\nIn case there are any doubts that turning around the healthcare segment wasn't the main focus, it's not a coincidence that the former CFO of GE's (NYSE: GE) Healthcare business, Monish Patolawala, was appointed as 3M's CFO in July 2020.\nIt's time for 3M to deliver\nWith all these actions in place, investors are entitled to expect improvements to start showing through in 2021, starting with the upcoming first-quarter earnings report on April 27.\nUnfortunately, the company faced headwinds in the first quarter, and they are likely to make its earnings report messy. For example, automotive production (a major end market for 3M across its industrial segments) has been hit by the semiconductor shortage, and rising raw material costs are eating into profit margins, according to Patolawala. Meanwhile, healthcare is likely to be impacted by the pandemic in the first quarter.\nOn the other hand, the recovery in the industrial economy is taking shape in the U.S., and many of 3M's end markets will be strengthening. Also, since management has articulated that there hasn't been an inventory buildup by its customers, it might kick in at some point in 2021 as the economy recovers.\nWhat to expect\nIt's unclear what 3M will report, and the market could be disappointed if it doesn't raise guidance in an environment where many of its peers may well do so. However, what is clear is that 3M's earnings report will be messy, and if you are looking for strong evidence that the turnaround is showing in the numbers, you are unlikely to find it in the upcoming results.\nThere is a strong case for buying/holding the stock, but management needs to start delivering in 2021, particularly in the healthcare segment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":613,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379329496,"gmtCreate":1618681949615,"gmtModify":1704714017535,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TAL\">$TAL Education Group(TAL)$</a>Sad","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TAL\">$TAL Education Group(TAL)$</a>Sad","text":"$TAL Education Group(TAL)$Sad","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84775f0f9d914edd43363dd8a8c18e45","width":"828","height":"1434"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379329496","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":251,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370502575,"gmtCreate":1618594242497,"gmtModify":1704713263650,"author":{"id":"3576998804963004","authorId":"3576998804963004","name":"TeflonTusk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d26e5b87de0105f8968c3e86381c9a60","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576998804963004","authorIdStr":"3576998804963004"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No ffoo ah","listText":"No ffoo ah","text":"No ffoo ah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370502575","repostId":"1175692875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175692875","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618582708,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175692875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 22:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"$544 Billion In Options Expire Today: Here's What Will Move","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175692875","media":"zerohedge","summary":"While it's not quad (or even triple) witching day, today's a whole lot of weekly options will expire","content":"<p>While it's not quad (or even triple) witching day, today's a whole lot of weekly options will expire, may of which will be worthless, and others will be providing a supporting \"pin\" to underlying prices.
