NVDA stock is trading at $","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia Corp </a> stock is up over 103% YTD, including 10%+ in the last month. NVDA stock is trading at $296.89 on May 16, up from $146.14 where it ended last year. This activity has pushed up its put option premiums and made shorting out-of-the-money puts ideal for investors to create income.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">I discussed this in my last article on April 24, “Nvidia Stock Is on a Tear Up 86% YTD - Pushing Its Put Premiums Sky High.” This move upward since then is despite the fact that NVDA stock has a sky-high valuation. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">For example, at the time its price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple was 60x, but now it is <u>64x for the year ending Jan. 2024</u>, according to Seeking Alpha. Moreover, analysts forecast earnings per share of $6.13 for 2024, pushing the forward P/E for the year ending Jan. 25 down to 47.3x.</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">AI Gold Rush</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The reason for this excessive enthusiasm for the stock is related to the push for AI products by virtually every tech company. In fact, one article summarized it simply like this: “Nvidia is the picks and shovel leader in the ‘AI gold rush,’ BofA says.&#34;</p><p>The BofA analyst, Vivek Arya, wrote that generative AI demand is pushing demand for Nvidia&#39;s super-powerful semiconductor chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang discussed this move into AI chips with <u>CNBC in late March</u>. He said that the appeal of AI is that it is a brand-new computing platform you can program with your own language. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He said that “no application in the world has been so easy to use and so effective when you tell it to do something” - referring to generative ChatGPT AI apps. This is now the fastest-growing in the world as a result. This is what is powering Nvidia&#39;s next-gen chips, which are “democratizing AI” computer programing capabilities for all users.</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">One Play Is Short OTM Puts</h3><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In my prior article, I wrote that the put options expiring this Friday, May 19 were very attractive on April 24. For example, <u>the $250 strike price puts</u>, which were 7.8% below the spot price at the time, traded for $4.05 per put. That provided an attractive 1.62% income yield (i.e., $4.05/$250) with 27 days left in the period. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Today, those $250 puts are now trading for just 3 cents on the ask side. In other words, that trade has been a huge success, and the investor will likely want to roll that over by buying back the short put. They can now do another similar trade for one month forward.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">For example, for the June 9 expiration period, which is 24 days from now, the <u>$270 strike price puts trade at $5.15 per put</u>. This provides an attractive 1.91% yield based on the strike price (i.e., $5.15/$270), for a strike price that is 8.52% below today&#39;s spot price of $296.89</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15fdf9fa19137ea828789f16db2bac5b\" alt=\"NVDA Puts - Expiring June 9 - Barchart - As of May 16, 2023\" title=\"NVDA Puts - Expiring June 9 - Barchart - As of May 16, 2023\" tg-width=\"1098\" tg-height=\"436\"/><span>NVDA Puts - Expiring June 9 - Barchart - As of May 16, 2023</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That means that the investor who secures $27,000 with their brokerage firm in cash and/or margin, can then enter an order to “Sell to Open” 1 put contract at $270.00 for expiration on June 9. Their account will immediately receive $515.00. That is why this is an attractive 1.91% yield for the investor.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In fact, if this trade can be repeated each month for a year, the investor would make 22.89% annually. This is an attractive way for long investors in NVDA stock to create income. Moreover, if the stock falls to this $270 strike price in three weeks the investor gets to purchase the stock at a discount. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Given the enthusiasm for this AI gold rush stock, that is a good way for long-term investors to make income while waiting for the stock to keep moving higher.</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>Nvidia Stock Is Up Over 103% YTD - Making Shorting Its Puts Attractive For Income Plays</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\">\nNvidia Stock Is Up Over 103% YTD - Making Shorting Its Puts Attractive For Income Plays\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-05-17 14:38 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barchart.com/story/news/16933438/nvidia-stock-is-up-over-103-ytd-making-shorting-its-puts-attractive-for-income-plays><strong>Barchart</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Nvidia Corp  stock is up over 103% YTD, including 10%+ in the last month.

This activity has pushed up its put option premiums and made shorting out-of-the-money puts ideal for investors to create income.I discussed this in my last article on April 24, “Nvidia Stock Is on a Tear Up 86% YTD - Pushing Its Put Premiums Sky High.” This move upward since then is despite the fact that NVDA stock has a sky-high valuation. For example, at the time its price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple was 60x, but now it is 64x for the year ending Jan. 2024, according to Seeking Alpha. Moreover, analysts forecast earnings per share of $6.13 for 2024, pushing the forward P/E for the year ending Jan. 25 down to 47.3x.AI Gold RushThe reason for this excessive enthusiasm for the stock is related to the push for AI products by virtually every tech company. In fact, one article summarized it simply like this: “Nvidia is the picks and shovel leader in the ‘AI gold rush,’ BofA says.\"The BofA analyst, Vivek Arya, wrote that generative AI demand is pushing demand for Nvidia's super-powerful semiconductor chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang discussed this move into AI chips with CNBC in late March. He said that the appeal of AI is that it is a brand-new computing platform you can program with your own language. He said that “no application in the world has been so easy to use and so effective when you tell it to do something” - referring to generative ChatGPT AI apps. This is now the fastest-growing in the world as a result. This is what is powering Nvidia's next-gen chips, which are “democratizing AI” computer programing capabilities for all users.One Play Is Short OTM PutsIn my prior article, I wrote that the put options expiring this Friday, May 19 were very attractive on April 24. For example, the $250 strike price puts, which were 7.8% below the spot price at the time, traded for $4.05 per put. That provided an attractive 1.62% income yield (i.e., $4.05/$250) with 27 days left in the period. Today, those $250 puts are now trading for just 3 cents on the ask side. In other words, that trade has been a huge success, and the investor will likely want to roll that over by buying back the short put. They can now do another similar trade for one month forward.For example, for the June 9 expiration period, which is 24 days from now, the $270 strike price puts trade at $5.15 per put. This provides an attractive 1.91% yield based on the strike price (i.e., $5.15/$270), for a strike price that is 8.52% below today's spot price of $296.89NVDA Puts - Expiring June 9 - Barchart - As of May 16, 2023That means that the investor who secures $27,000 with their brokerage firm in cash and/or margin, can then enter an order to “Sell to Open” 1 put contract at $270.00 for expiration on June 9. Their account will immediately receive $515.00. That is why this is an attractive 1.91% yield for the investor.In fact, if this trade can be repeated each month for a year, the investor would make 22.89% annually. This is an attractive way for long investors in NVDA stock to create income. Moreover, if the stock falls to this $270 strike price in three weeks the investor gets to purchase the stock at a discount. Given the enthusiasm for this AI gold rush stock, that is a good way for long-term investors to make income while waiting for the stock to keep moving higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NVDA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3365,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970134390,"gmtCreate":1684142386111,"gmtModify":1684142389506,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great

Meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1128633960","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"The Q&A session at Berkshire Hathaway’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting ended early on Saturday, a","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Q&amp;A session at Berkshire Hathaway’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting ended early on Saturday, after back-to-back three-hour sessions of questioning for the conglomerate’s management.</p><p>CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairmen Charlie Munger, Ajit Jain, and Greg Abel addressed queries from shareholders about Berkshire’s business performance, their thoughts on macroeconomic issues and the recent banking turmoil</p><p>Buffett, 92, and Munger, 99, sprinkled in genial anecdotes and grandfatherly advice for Berkshire’s younger shareholders. Attendance was high at this year’s so-called “Woodstock for Capitalists,” after a relatively muted 2022 confab following two year of virtual meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>Berkshire’s first-quarter results were released earlier on Saturday morning, showing a 12.6% rise in operating profit, to $8.1 billion, and a faster pace of buybacks compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Berkshire Won’t Be Investing In Automakers, Buffett Says</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) isn’t likely to invest in shares of automakers like General Motors (GM) or Ford Motor (F), CEO Warren Buffett said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday.</p><p>“Charlie [Munger] and I have long felt that the auto business is just too tough,” Buffett said, adding an anecdote about Henry Ford’s challenges in the industry in the early 1900s.</p><p>Buffett said that there are too many global competitors for the automaking business to generate attractive returns. It’s also in the midst of a transition to electric vehicles, which imposes huge capital costs and risks in the near term before it becomes clear which companies will be successful and which won’t.</p><p>Berkshire prefers the auto dealership business, where it owns 78 dealerships across the U.S. Those generate more than $8 billion in annual revenue, making Berkshire among the largest dealership groups in the U.S.</p><h3>Buffett Says Berkshire Remains On the Hunt for an ‘Elephant-Sized’ Acquisition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) has nearly $130 billion in cash and Treasury bills on its balance sheet. There’s ongoing speculation about what the company might do with all that dry powder.</p><p>At Berkshire’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday, CEO Warren Buffett said that he would rather do a deal for a large company than sit on the cash, earning interest, but that it all depends on the prices available. Things are generally expensive these days.</p><p>“If we could buy a company for $15 billion, $75 billion, $100 billion, we could do it,” Buffett said. He noted that it’s more complex to buy a publicly traded company due to the longer timeline, shareholder vote, and other rules. But there just aren’t that many private companies of that scale available.</p><p>Buffett spoke about opportunities that emerged during the global financial crisis in 2008, including deals to buy shares in several troubled banks at attractive prices, and said that he expects Berkshire to get similar calls in the future.</p><p>“There’s no one else quite like us who can [do a deal] under the right circumstances,” Buffett said.</p><p>In the meantime, Berkshire is earning close to 5% on its T-bills. It has also been buying stock in recent years.</p><h3>Cash Is Not Trash, Buffett Says</h3><p>Buffett is watching currency in circulation, calling it &#34;one of the most interesting figures&#34; to consider and calling out those who previously said &#34;cash is trash&#34; back in 2007 and 2008.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;The Federal Reserve balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion and most of that&#39;s in $100 bills overwhelmingly. … I would really like to know where all of that is,&#34; he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;Anyone who thinks cash is trash ought to look at the Federal Reserve balance sheet,&#34; he added. &#34;It is just astounding the way $100 bills have spread. … Believe me, cash is not trash.&#34;</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett knocks down speculation Berkshire would take full control of Occidental</h3><p>Buffett said Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway won&#39;t take full control of Occidental Petroleum, the energy stock where it has amassed a stake above 20%.</p><p>&#34;There&#39;s speculation about us buying control, we&#39;re not going to buy control. … We wouldn&#39;t know what to do with it,&#34; he said.</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett says he’ll stick with Bank of America</h3><p>Buffett says he’s keeping his Bank of America holdings <em>— </em>but that he doesn’t know what’s in store.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We do remain with one bank holding ... , but we originated that deal, with Bank of America. I like Bank of America, I liked the management and I proposed the deal for them. So I stick with it,” said Buffett.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He said that the recent crises in the banking sector have reaffirmed his belief that the American public and lawmakers fail to understand the banking sector.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“But do I know how to project out what’s going to happen from here? The answer is I don’t, because I’ve seen so many things in the last few months, which really weren’t that unexpected to me to see. But which reconfirmed my belief that the American public doesn’t understand our banking system.”</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">It’s a joke to think of ‘tokens’ as the world’s reserve currency, Buffett says</h3><p>People may be losing faith in the dollar, but that doesn’t make it bitcoin’s moment to shine, Buffett said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Forget about all the toys – it’s a joke to think of any tokens, that’s madness,” when it comes to the reserve currency of the world, he said. “But it’s also madness to just keep printing money.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett was responding to a question about the current dedollarization trend and warned about the extent to which the U.S. has been printing money.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s easy for America to do a lot, but if we do too much it’s very hard to see how you recover once you’ve let the genie out of the bottle,” he said. “People lose faith in the currency and they behave in an entirely different manner than they do when they feel … they’re going to have something with roughly equal purchasing power. It changes the economy.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Munger criticized it more sharply, saying “at some point printing money to buy boats will become counterproductive.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Still, Buffett stood by the dollar: “We are the reserve currency, I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Bitcoin gained popularity among investors in 2021 because of its potential to act as an inflation hedge, after the U.S. printed trillions of dollars in Covid-19 stimulus. Many have let go of that narrative after bitcoin dropped more than 60% in 2022 amid persistently high inflation.</p><h3>Buffett Says Streaming Remains a Challenging Business, Sticks With Paramount</h3><p>CEO Warren Buffett addressed Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) investment in Paramount Global (PARA) at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The media company is in the midst of an expensive transition from legacy businesses in cable TV and movies to a streaming future.</p><p>Paramount shares dropped 28% on May 5 following a disastrous quarterly earnings report that included a large loss and a slash to the company’s dividend.</p><p>“It’s not good news when any company cuts its dividend dramatically,” Buffett said.</p><p>He noted that the streaming business remains challenging, with numerous competitors keeping prices low. It’s easy to cancel a streaming subscription and hop to a competing service.</p><p>“There are a bunch of companies who don’t want to quit,” Buffett said. “Who knows what will happen with pricing.”</p><p>Berkshire became the largest holder of Paramount stock last year, with a stake of around 15%. Shares are down by about half since Berkshire began buying in the first quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Buffett Faults Bank Risk Taking, Calls for More Active FDIC</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett sees excessive risk taking at banks as the root of the 2023 banking turmoil. He called for more conservative banking practices and better communication from regulators at Berkshire’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The situation in banking is what it always was,” Buffett said. “Fear is contagious. Sometimes the fear is justified, sometimes it isn’t.” Buffett recalled that his father, Howard Buffett, lost his job during a bank run in the Great Depression.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett praised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the greater stability of the banking system offered by the regulators’ deposit insurance, but said that it needed to better communicate with the American public to prevent further potential bank runs and potentially consider guaranteeing 100% of deposits until the current turmoil has passed. That’s especially relevant today, when digital banking makes deposits less “sticky,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett faulted management at First Republic Bank—which was shut down by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last month before its takeover by JPMorgan Chase (JPM)—for concentrating its balance sheet in low-yielding assets that lost value as interest rates rose over the past year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett placed signs reading “Available for Sale” and “Held-to-Maturity” on the table in front of him and Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, to laughs from the audience. Those are terms that refer to the accounting treatment of securities on a bank’s balance sheet.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’m old fashioned,” Munger said. “I liked it when banks didn’t do investment banking…I think having a lot of investment bankers trying to get rich isn’t a good thing. I think bankers should be more like engineers, thinking about what could go wrong.”</p><h3>Abel Says He’ll Continue Buffett’s Approach to Share Buybacks</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s appointed successor as CEO, will continue to buy back stock when it appears cheap and the best use of the conglomerate’s cash.</p><p>Berkshire bought back $4.4 billion of stock in the first three months of 2023, up from $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>“Greg understands capital allocation as well as I do…and I expect he’ll make those decisions under the same framework that Charlie and I do,” Buffett said.</p><p>Buffett is all about intrinsic value, and seeks to buy back Berkshire stock when its price falls below that estimate. He has praised companies like Apple (AAPL) for using excess capital to repurchase shares. He has also criticized management teams for buying back their company’s stock at inflated prices in the past.</p><p>“When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll want to be an active purchaser of Berkshire shares,” Abel said. “It’s great for our shareholders to be able to own a larger share in all of Berkshire’s businesses.”</p><h3>Insurance Profits Are Up at Berkshire, But Jain Worries About a Florida Hurricane</h3><p>Pricing is strong and improving in catastrophe insurance after a tough decade and a half for the category, Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman in charge of insurance operations Ajit Jain said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday. Those are policies that insure homes and businesses against natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That has helped to drive better underwriting profits at Berkshire’s reinsurance businesses.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain warned that the company’s exposure was “unbalanced,” however, with particularly large concentration in Florida. Across all of Berkshire’s insurance operations, the conglomerate could see a loss of up to $15 billion if there’s a majorly destructive hurricane in Florida this year—if there isn’t, it could mean a profit of up to $7 billion, Jain estimated.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain said that the recently acquired insurer Alleghany, which Berkshire bought last year for about $11.6 billion, would continue doing business as it had before the deal.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We treat our operating units independent of each other,” Jain said. “Alleghany will keep doing what they’re doing and they’ve been very successful at it.”</p><h3>Berkshire Hathaway Is Taking Part In the Energy Transition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Greg Abel addressed the conglomerate’s efforts to boost its participation in renewable energy generation at the conglomerate’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“There’s no question there’s an energy transition going on,” said Abel, who oversees Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses, including Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He said the utility company is working to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in 2030 relative to 2005 levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Berkshire Hathaway Energy is investing in windmills and other clean energy generation, plus extending transmission lines to more renewable energy sources, which by their nature are more distributed than traditional power plants.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s a very, very good business opportunity for us,” Abel added.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett said that the United States’ approach to renewable energy is overly fragmented, with different rules and regulations state by state and no society-wide organized effort. He drew a comparison to the World War II-era coordination between the federal government and American businesses to reorient the nation’s industrial economy to support the war effort.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The capital is there, the people are there, the objective is obvious, we just don’t seem to be able to do it in peacetime,” Buffett said.</p><h3>Buffett and Munger Disagree on the Future of Value Investing</h3><p>Legendary value investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger see divergent paths for value investors in the coming years. The Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) managers were responding to shareholders’ questions at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished set of opportunities,” Munger said. “My advice to value investors is to get used to making less.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we’ve known each other,” Buffett said. The two first met over dinner in 1959.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett sees more opportunities than his long-time partner. “What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things,” he said. “...And there’s been a great increase in people doing dumb things.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The 92-year-old value investor noted that Berkshire’s current scale can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, with many potential opportunities too small to move the needle for the $719 billion conglomerate.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A long-term investing horizon is still key to realizing value in investing, Buffett said. “I’d love to be born today, start out with not too much money, and turn it into a lot of money,” he said. “I’m sure Charlie would too.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’d like my big pile [of money] to stay just the way it is,” Munger quipped, to laughs from the crowd.

The conglomerate’s operating profit after taxes was up almost 13% year over year, to $8.1 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett attributed the gain to a higher return on the company’s stock portfolio, better interest income on its cash holdings, and a higher insurance underwriting profit.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He continued with an overview of Berkshire’s balance sheet, noting that the company’s $504.5 billion in shareholders’ equity is more than any other American company. Berkshire’s insurance float—the difference between an insurance company’s cash collected from premiums and the claims it must pay out—stood at $165.1 billion at the end of the first quarter, while cash and Treasury bills were $127.7 billion. That’s a lot of ammo for potential acquisitions or interest income.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Berkshire bought back about 9,600 class A shares in the first quarter, worth about $4.4 billion.

Attendance was high at this year’s so-called “Woodstock for Capitalists,” after a relatively muted 2022 confab following two year of virtual meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>Berkshire’s first-quarter results were released earlier on Saturday morning, showing a 12.6% rise in operating profit, to $8.1 billion, and a faster pace of buybacks compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Berkshire Won’t Be Investing In Automakers, Buffett Says</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) isn’t likely to invest in shares of automakers like General Motors (GM) or Ford Motor (F), CEO Warren Buffett said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday.</p><p>“Charlie [Munger] and I have long felt that the auto business is just too tough,” Buffett said, adding an anecdote about Henry Ford’s challenges in the industry in the early 1900s.</p><p>Buffett said that there are too many global competitors for the automaking business to generate attractive returns. It’s also in the midst of a transition to electric vehicles, which imposes huge capital costs and risks in the near term before it becomes clear which companies will be successful and which won’t.</p><p>Berkshire prefers the auto dealership business, where it owns 78 dealerships across the U.S. Those generate more than $8 billion in annual revenue, making Berkshire among the largest dealership groups in the U.S.</p><h3>Buffett Says Berkshire Remains On the Hunt for an ‘Elephant-Sized’ Acquisition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) has nearly $130 billion in cash and Treasury bills on its balance sheet. There’s ongoing speculation about what the company might do with all that dry powder.</p><p>At Berkshire’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday, CEO Warren Buffett said that he would rather do a deal for a large company than sit on the cash, earning interest, but that it all depends on the prices available. Things are generally expensive these days.</p><p>“If we could buy a company for $15 billion, $75 billion, $100 billion, we could do it,” Buffett said. He noted that it’s more complex to buy a publicly traded company due to the longer timeline, shareholder vote, and other rules. But there just aren’t that many private companies of that scale available.</p><p>Buffett spoke about opportunities that emerged during the global financial crisis in 2008, including deals to buy shares in several troubled banks at attractive prices, and said that he expects Berkshire to get similar calls in the future.</p><p>“There’s no one else quite like us who can [do a deal] under the right circumstances,” Buffett said.</p><p>In the meantime, Berkshire is earning close to 5% on its T-bills. It has also been buying stock in recent years.</p><h3>Cash Is Not Trash, Buffett Says</h3><p>Buffett is watching currency in circulation, calling it &#34;one of the most interesting figures&#34; to consider and calling out those who previously said &#34;cash is trash&#34; back in 2007 and 2008.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;The Federal Reserve balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion and most of that&#39;s in $100 bills overwhelmingly. … I would really like to know where all of that is,&#34; he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;Anyone who thinks cash is trash ought to look at the Federal Reserve balance sheet,&#34; he added. &#34;It is just astounding the way $100 bills have spread. … Believe me, cash is not trash.&#34;</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett knocks down speculation Berkshire would take full control of Occidental</h3><p>Buffett said Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway won&#39;t take full control of Occidental Petroleum, the energy stock where it has amassed a stake above 20%.</p><p>&#34;There&#39;s speculation about us buying control, we&#39;re not going to buy control. … We wouldn&#39;t know what to do with it,&#34; he said.</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett says he’ll stick with Bank of America</h3><p>Buffett says he’s keeping his Bank of America holdings <em>— </em>but that he doesn’t know what’s in store.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We do remain with one bank holding ... , but we originated that deal, with Bank of America. I like Bank of America, I liked the management and I proposed the deal for them. So I stick with it,” said Buffett.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He said that the recent crises in the banking sector have reaffirmed his belief that the American public and lawmakers fail to understand the banking sector.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“But do I know how to project out what’s going to happen from here? The answer is I don’t, because I’ve seen so many things in the last few months, which really weren’t that unexpected to me to see. But which reconfirmed my belief that the American public doesn’t understand our banking system.”</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">It’s a joke to think of ‘tokens’ as the world’s reserve currency, Buffett says</h3><p>People may be losing faith in the dollar, but that doesn’t make it bitcoin’s moment to shine, Buffett said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Forget about all the toys – it’s a joke to think of any tokens, that’s madness,” when it comes to the reserve currency of the world, he said. “But it’s also madness to just keep printing money.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett was responding to a question about the current dedollarization trend and warned about the extent to which the U.S. has been printing money.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s easy for America to do a lot, but if we do too much it’s very hard to see how you recover once you’ve let the genie out of the bottle,” he said. “People lose faith in the currency and they behave in an entirely different manner than they do when they feel … they’re going to have something with roughly equal purchasing power. It changes the economy.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Munger criticized it more sharply, saying “at some point printing money to buy boats will become counterproductive.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Still, Buffett stood by the dollar: “We are the reserve currency, I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Bitcoin gained popularity among investors in 2021 because of its potential to act as an inflation hedge, after the U.S. printed trillions of dollars in Covid-19 stimulus. Many have let go of that narrative after bitcoin dropped more than 60% in 2022 amid persistently high inflation.</p><h3>Buffett Says Streaming Remains a Challenging Business, Sticks With Paramount</h3><p>CEO Warren Buffett addressed Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) investment in Paramount Global (PARA) at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The media company is in the midst of an expensive transition from legacy businesses in cable TV and movies to a streaming future.</p><p>Paramount shares dropped 28% on May 5 following a disastrous quarterly earnings report that included a large loss and a slash to the company’s dividend.</p><p>“It’s not good news when any company cuts its dividend dramatically,” Buffett said.</p><p>He noted that the streaming business remains challenging, with numerous competitors keeping prices low. It’s easy to cancel a streaming subscription and hop to a competing service.</p><p>“There are a bunch of companies who don’t want to quit,” Buffett said. “Who knows what will happen with pricing.”</p><p>Berkshire became the largest holder of Paramount stock last year, with a stake of around 15%. Shares are down by about half since Berkshire began buying in the first quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Buffett Faults Bank Risk Taking, Calls for More Active FDIC</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett sees excessive risk taking at banks as the root of the 2023 banking turmoil. He called for more conservative banking practices and better communication from regulators at Berkshire’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The situation in banking is what it always was,” Buffett said. “Fear is contagious. Sometimes the fear is justified, sometimes it isn’t.” Buffett recalled that his father, Howard Buffett, lost his job during a bank run in the Great Depression.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett praised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the greater stability of the banking system offered by the regulators’ deposit insurance, but said that it needed to better communicate with the American public to prevent further potential bank runs and potentially consider guaranteeing 100% of deposits until the current turmoil has passed. That’s especially relevant today, when digital banking makes deposits less “sticky,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett faulted management at First Republic Bank—which was shut down by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last month before its takeover by JPMorgan Chase (JPM)—for concentrating its balance sheet in low-yielding assets that lost value as interest rates rose over the past year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett placed signs reading “Available for Sale” and “Held-to-Maturity” on the table in front of him and Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, to laughs from the audience. Those are terms that refer to the accounting treatment of securities on a bank’s balance sheet.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’m old fashioned,” Munger said. “I liked it when banks didn’t do investment banking…I think having a lot of investment bankers trying to get rich isn’t a good thing. I think bankers should be more like engineers, thinking about what could go wrong.”</p><h3>Abel Says He’ll Continue Buffett’s Approach to Share Buybacks</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s appointed successor as CEO, will continue to buy back stock when it appears cheap and the best use of the conglomerate’s cash.</p><p>Berkshire bought back $4.4 billion of stock in the first three months of 2023, up from $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>“Greg understands capital allocation as well as I do…and I expect he’ll make those decisions under the same framework that Charlie and I do,” Buffett said.</p><p>Buffett is all about intrinsic value, and seeks to buy back Berkshire stock when its price falls below that estimate. He has praised companies like Apple (AAPL) for using excess capital to repurchase shares. He has also criticized management teams for buying back their company’s stock at inflated prices in the past.</p><p>“When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll want to be an active purchaser of Berkshire shares,” Abel said. “It’s great for our shareholders to be able to own a larger share in all of Berkshire’s businesses.”</p><h3>Insurance Profits Are Up at Berkshire, But Jain Worries About a Florida Hurricane</h3><p>Pricing is strong and improving in catastrophe insurance after a tough decade and a half for the category, Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman in charge of insurance operations Ajit Jain said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday. Those are policies that insure homes and businesses against natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That has helped to drive better underwriting profits at Berkshire’s reinsurance businesses.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain warned that the company’s exposure was “unbalanced,” however, with particularly large concentration in Florida. Across all of Berkshire’s insurance operations, the conglomerate could see a loss of up to $15 billion if there’s a majorly destructive hurricane in Florida this year—if there isn’t, it could mean a profit of up to $7 billion, Jain estimated.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain said that the recently acquired insurer Alleghany, which Berkshire bought last year for about $11.6 billion, would continue doing business as it had before the deal.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We treat our operating units independent of each other,” Jain said. “Alleghany will keep doing what they’re doing and they’ve been very successful at it.”</p><h3>Berkshire Hathaway Is Taking Part In the Energy Transition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Greg Abel addressed the conglomerate’s efforts to boost its participation in renewable energy generation at the conglomerate’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“There’s no question there’s an energy transition going on,” said Abel, who oversees Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses, including Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He said the utility company is working to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in 2030 relative to 2005 levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Berkshire Hathaway Energy is investing in windmills and other clean energy generation, plus extending transmission lines to more renewable energy sources, which by their nature are more distributed than traditional power plants.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s a very, very good business opportunity for us,” Abel added.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett said that the United States’ approach to renewable energy is overly fragmented, with different rules and regulations state by state and no society-wide organized effort. He drew a comparison to the World War II-era coordination between the federal government and American businesses to reorient the nation’s industrial economy to support the war effort.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The capital is there, the people are there, the objective is obvious, we just don’t seem to be able to do it in peacetime,” Buffett said.</p><h3>Buffett and Munger Disagree on the Future of Value Investing</h3><p>Legendary value investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger see divergent paths for value investors in the coming years. The Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) managers were responding to shareholders’ questions at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished set of opportunities,” Munger said. “My advice to value investors is to get used to making less.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we’ve known each other,” Buffett said. The two first met over dinner in 1959.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett sees more opportunities than his long-time partner. “What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things,” he said. “...And there’s been a great increase in people doing dumb things.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The 92-year-old value investor noted that Berkshire’s current scale can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, with many potential opportunities too small to move the needle for the $719 billion conglomerate.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A long-term investing horizon is still key to realizing value in investing, Buffett said. “I’d love to be born today, start out with not too much money, and turn it into a lot of money,” he said. “I’m sure Charlie would too.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’d like my big pile [of money] to stay just the way it is,” Munger quipped, to laughs from the crowd. He has a net worth of approximately $2.4 billion, according to Forbes.</p><h3>Buffett, 92, and Munger, 99 Aren’t Particularly Bullish on AI, Robotics</h3><p>A shareholder asked Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to share their thoughts on artificial intelligence and robotics and which businesses stood to be disrupted most. “I thank you for asking Charlie that question,” Buffett, 92, demurred.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Munger, 99, noted that he was impressed by the level of automation at BYD (ticker: BYDDY) factories in Asia. But, “I think regular old intelligence works just fine,” Munger added.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“There won’t be any AI that will replace Ajit [Jain, Berkshire vice chairman],” Buffett quipped. He went on to warn about the potential risks of AI technologies, drawing a parallel to the development of the atomic bomb.</p><h3>Buffett’s Vice Chairmen Discuss Berkshire’s Businesses</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett kicked a question about the company’s subsidiaries’ performance to his deputies.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Geico is coming off a strong first quarter, with an underwriting profit of $703 million, versus a loss of $178 million in the year-ago quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Ajit Jain, who oversees Berkshire’s insurance operations, said that Geico is working to close the gap with competitors on its employment of telematics, or usage-based insurance, which adjusts customers’ rates based on how they drive.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Geico’s technology needs a lot more work than I thought it would,” Jain said, noting that the company uses more than 600 distinct tech platforms.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Greg Abel, who oversees non-insurance operations and is in line to succeed Buffett as CEO, spoke about BNSF. He said there was “more work to be done” on making the railroad more efficient and productive and that he was aware of most competitors moving to precision-scheduled railroading.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">2022 was a “reset” year for the business, Abel said, that will set it up for better long-term growth.</p><h3>Buffett Agrees With Regulators’ Decision to Protect Failing Bank Deposits</h3><p>The 2023 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting’s first question had to do with the past few months’ banking-industry turmoil.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">CEO Warren Buffett said that regulators made the right decision to intervene to protect depositors at banks including Silicon Valley Bank, which failed in March.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Had they not, “it would have been catastrophic,” Buffett said.</p><h3>Buffett Talks First-Quarter Results, Berkshire’s Balance Sheet, and Buybacks</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett ran through the company’s first-quarter results, which were released on Saturday morning.

It has also been buying stock in recent years.Cash Is Not Trash, Buffett SaysBuffett is watching currency in circulation, calling it \"one of the most interesting figures\" to consider and calling out those who previously said \"cash is trash\" back in 2007 and 2008.\"The Federal Reserve balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion and most of that's in $100 bills overwhelmingly. … I would really like to know where all of that is,\" he said.\"Anyone who thinks cash is trash ought to look at the Federal Reserve balance sheet,\" he added. \"It is just astounding the way $100 bills have spread. … Believe me, cash is not trash.\"Buffett knocks down speculation Berkshire would take full control of OccidentalBuffett said Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway won't take full control of Occidental Petroleum, the energy stock where it has amassed a stake above 20%.\"There's speculation about us buying control, we're not going to buy control. … We wouldn't know what to do with it,\" he said.Buffett says he’ll stick with Bank of AmericaBuffett says he’s keeping his Bank of America holdings — but that he doesn’t know what’s in store.“We do remain with one bank holding ... , but we originated that deal, with Bank of America. I like Bank of America, I liked the management and I proposed the deal for them. So I stick with it,” said Buffett.He said that the recent crises in the banking sector have reaffirmed his belief that the American public and lawmakers fail to understand the banking sector.“But do I know how to project out what’s going to happen from here? The answer is I don’t, because I’ve seen so many things in the last few months, which really weren’t that unexpected to me to see. But which reconfirmed my belief that the American public doesn’t understand our banking system.”It’s a joke to think of ‘tokens’ as the world’s reserve currency, Buffett saysPeople may be losing faith in the dollar, but that doesn’t make it bitcoin’s moment to shine, Buffett said.“Forget about all the toys – it’s a joke to think of any tokens, that’s madness,” when it comes to the reserve currency of the world, he said. “But it’s also madness to just keep printing money.”Buffett was responding to a question about the current dedollarization trend and warned about the extent to which the U.S. has been printing money.“It’s easy for America to do a lot, but if we do too much it’s very hard to see how you recover once you’ve let the genie out of the bottle,” he said. “People lose faith in the currency and they behave in an entirely different manner than they do when they feel … they’re going to have something with roughly equal purchasing power. It changes the economy.”Munger criticized it more sharply, saying “at some point printing money to buy boats will become counterproductive.”Still, Buffett stood by the dollar: “We are the reserve currency, I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” he said.Bitcoin gained popularity among investors in 2021 because of its potential to act as an inflation hedge, after the U.S. printed trillions of dollars in Covid-19 stimulus. Many have let go of that narrative after bitcoin dropped more than 60% in 2022 amid persistently high inflation.Buffett Says Streaming Remains a Challenging Business, Sticks With ParamountCEO Warren Buffett addressed Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) investment in Paramount Global (PARA) at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The media company is in the midst of an expensive transition from legacy businesses in cable TV and movies to a streaming future.Paramount shares dropped 28% on May 5 following a disastrous quarterly earnings report that included a large loss and a slash to the company’s dividend.“It’s not good news when any company cuts its dividend dramatically,” Buffett said.He noted that the streaming business remains challenging, with numerous competitors keeping prices low. It’s easy to cancel a streaming subscription and hop to a competing service.“There are a bunch of companies who don’t want to quit,” Buffett said. “Who knows what will happen with pricing.”Berkshire became the largest holder of Paramount stock last year, with a stake of around 15%. Shares are down by about half since Berkshire began buying in the first quarter of 2022.Buffett Faults Bank Risk Taking, Calls for More Active FDICBerkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett sees excessive risk taking at banks as the root of the 2023 banking turmoil. He called for more conservative banking practices and better communication from regulators at Berkshire’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting.“The situation in banking is what it always was,” Buffett said. “Fear is contagious. Sometimes the fear is justified, sometimes it isn’t.” Buffett recalled that his father, Howard Buffett, lost his job during a bank run in the Great Depression.Buffett praised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the greater stability of the banking system offered by the regulators’ deposit insurance, but said that it needed to better communicate with the American public to prevent further potential bank runs and potentially consider guaranteeing 100% of deposits until the current turmoil has passed. That’s especially relevant today, when digital banking makes deposits less “sticky,” he said.Buffett faulted management at First Republic Bank—which was shut down by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last month before its takeover by JPMorgan Chase (JPM)—for concentrating its balance sheet in low-yielding assets that lost value as interest rates rose over the past year.Buffett placed signs reading “Available for Sale” and “Held-to-Maturity” on the table in front of him and Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, to laughs from the audience. Those are terms that refer to the accounting treatment of securities on a bank’s balance sheet.“I’m old fashioned,” Munger said. “I liked it when banks didn’t do investment banking…I think having a lot of investment bankers trying to get rich isn’t a good thing. I think bankers should be more like engineers, thinking about what could go wrong.”Abel Says He’ll Continue Buffett’s Approach to Share BuybacksBerkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s appointed successor as CEO, will continue to buy back stock when it appears cheap and the best use of the conglomerate’s cash.Berkshire bought back $4.4 billion of stock in the first three months of 2023, up from $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.“Greg understands capital allocation as well as I do…and I expect he’ll make those decisions under the same framework that Charlie and I do,” Buffett said.Buffett is all about intrinsic value, and seeks to buy back Berkshire stock when its price falls below that estimate. He has praised companies like Apple (AAPL) for using excess capital to repurchase shares. He has also criticized management teams for buying back their company’s stock at inflated prices in the past.“When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll want to be an active purchaser of Berkshire shares,” Abel said. “It’s great for our shareholders to be able to own a larger share in all of Berkshire’s businesses.”Insurance Profits Are Up at Berkshire, But Jain Worries About a Florida HurricanePricing is strong and improving in catastrophe insurance after a tough decade and a half for the category, Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman in charge of insurance operations Ajit Jain said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday. Those are policies that insure homes and businesses against natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes.That has helped to drive better underwriting profits at Berkshire’s reinsurance businesses.Jain warned that the company’s exposure was “unbalanced,” however, with particularly large concentration in Florida. Across all of Berkshire’s insurance operations, the conglomerate could see a loss of up to $15 billion if there’s a majorly destructive hurricane in Florida this year—if there isn’t, it could mean a profit of up to $7 billion, Jain estimated.Jain said that the recently acquired insurer Alleghany, which Berkshire bought last year for about $11.6 billion, would continue doing business as it had before the deal.“We treat our operating units independent of each other,” Jain said. “Alleghany will keep doing what they’re doing and they’ve been very successful at it.”Berkshire Hathaway Is Taking Part In the Energy TransitionBerkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Greg Abel addressed the conglomerate’s efforts to boost its participation in renewable energy generation at the conglomerate’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday.“There’s no question there’s an energy transition going on,” said Abel, who oversees Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses, including Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He said the utility company is working to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in 2030 relative to 2005 levels.Berkshire Hathaway Energy is investing in windmills and other clean energy generation, plus extending transmission lines to more renewable energy sources, which by their nature are more distributed than traditional power plants.“It’s a very, very good business opportunity for us,” Abel added.Buffett said that the United States’ approach to renewable energy is overly fragmented, with different rules and regulations state by state and no society-wide organized effort. He drew a comparison to the World War II-era coordination between the federal government and American businesses to reorient the nation’s industrial economy to support the war effort.“The capital is there, the people are there, the objective is obvious, we just don’t seem to be able to do it in peacetime,” Buffett said.Buffett and Munger Disagree on the Future of Value InvestingLegendary value investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger see divergent paths for value investors in the coming years. The Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) managers were responding to shareholders’ questions at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday.“I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished set of opportunities,” Munger said. “My advice to value investors is to get used to making less.”“Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we’ve known each other,” Buffett said. The two first met over dinner in 1959.Buffett sees more opportunities than his long-time partner. “What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things,” he said. “...And there’s been a great increase in people doing dumb things.”The 92-year-old value investor noted that Berkshire’s current scale can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, with many potential opportunities too small to move the needle for the $719 billion conglomerate.A long-term investing horizon is still key to realizing value in investing, Buffett said. “I’d love to be born today, start out with not too much money, and turn it into a lot of money,” he said. “I’m sure Charlie would too.”“I’d like my big pile [of money] to stay just the way it is,” Munger quipped, to laughs from the crowd. He has a net worth of approximately $2.4 billion, according to Forbes.Buffett, 92, and Munger, 99 Aren’t Particularly Bullish on AI, RoboticsA shareholder asked Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to share their thoughts on artificial intelligence and robotics and which businesses stood to be disrupted most. “I thank you for asking Charlie that question,” Buffett, 92, demurred.Munger, 99, noted that he was impressed by the level of automation at BYD (ticker: BYDDY) factories in Asia. But, “I think regular old intelligence works just fine,” Munger added.“There won’t be any AI that will replace Ajit [Jain, Berkshire vice chairman],” Buffett quipped. He went on to warn about the potential risks of AI technologies, drawing a parallel to the development of the atomic bomb.Buffett’s Vice Chairmen Discuss Berkshire’s BusinessesBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett kicked a question about the company’s subsidiaries’ performance to his deputies.Geico is coming off a strong first quarter, with an underwriting profit of $703 million, versus a loss of $178 million in the year-ago quarter.Ajit Jain, who oversees Berkshire’s insurance operations, said that Geico is working to close the gap with competitors on its employment of telematics, or usage-based insurance, which adjusts customers’ rates based on how they drive.“Geico’s technology needs a lot more work than I thought it would,” Jain said, noting that the company uses more than 600 distinct tech platforms.Greg Abel, who oversees non-insurance operations and is in line to succeed Buffett as CEO, spoke about BNSF. He said there was “more work to be done” on making the railroad more efficient and productive and that he was aware of most competitors moving to precision-scheduled railroading.2022 was a “reset” year for the business, Abel said, that will set it up for better long-term growth.Buffett Agrees With Regulators’ Decision to Protect Failing Bank DepositsThe 2023 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting’s first question had to do with the past few months’ banking-industry turmoil.CEO Warren Buffett said that regulators made the right decision to intervene to protect depositors at banks including Silicon Valley Bank, which failed in March.Had they not, “it would have been catastrophic,” Buffett said.Buffett Talks First-Quarter Results, Berkshire’s Balance Sheet, and BuybacksBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett ran through the company’s first-quarter results, which were released on Saturday morning. The conglomerate’s operating profit after taxes was up almost 13% year over year, to $8.1 billion.Buffett attributed the gain to a higher return on the company’s stock portfolio, better interest income on its cash holdings, and a higher insurance underwriting profit.He continued with an overview of Berkshire’s balance sheet, noting that the company’s $504.5 billion in shareholders’ equity is more than any other American company. Berkshire’s insurance float—the difference between an insurance company’s cash collected from premiums and the claims it must pay out—stood at $165.1 billion at the end of the first quarter, while cash and Treasury bills were $127.7 billion. That’s a lot of ammo for potential acquisitions or interest income.Berkshire bought back about 9,600 class A shares in the first quarter, worth about $4.4 billion. That was faster than the first-quarter pace of buybacks, but slower than Berkshire’s repurchases in 2020 and 2021.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BRK.A":0.9,"BRK.B":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3745,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9951621583,"gmtCreate":1673478889643,"gmtModify":1676538842560,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/01842\">$GROWN UP GROUP(01842)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/01842\">$GROWN UP GROUP(01842)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","text":"$GROWN UP GROUP(01842)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9951621583","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1503,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9982585114,"gmtCreate":1667211801738,"gmtModify":1676537877999,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thank you&nbsp;","listText":"Thank you&nbsp;","text":"Thank you","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9982585114","repostId":"2279461358","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1321,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9982002480,"gmtCreate":1667031988840,"gmtModify":1676537852491,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9982002480","repostId":"1148576482","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148576482","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1667099454,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148576482?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-30 11:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The 7 Best Tech Stocks to Buy in November","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148576482","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These best tech stocks to buy all feature low risk and deep discounts.Nvidia(NVDA): Shares appear si","content":"<div>\n<p>These best tech stocks to buy all feature low risk and deep discounts.Nvidia(NVDA): Shares appear significantly undervalued following a steep sell-off.Adobe(ADBE): Its income-statement performance is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/best-tech-stocks/\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But the bullish long-term bias of the market tells us that stocks will almost certainly resume their uptrend. When they do, nearly all tech stocks should bounce to some extent, but the best tech stocks could soar.Historically, the broader market tends to perform well during the November-to-April timespan. Of course, this is no guarantee for success. Still, it adds a powerful backdrop for those looking to put capital to work in one of the more speculative sectors of the market.In searching for the best tech stocks to buy, we’re sticking with financial data. Leveraging the analytical tools ofGuruFocus.com, the below equities all feature fundamentally low risk and discounted prices.Here are the best tech stocks to buy in November.Nvidia (NVDA)A multinational technology firm, Nvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA) primarily garnered attention through its specialty in graphics processing units. However, the company also made significant investments in deep learning and protocols involving artificial intelligence. Currently, the company commands a market capitalization of $345 billion. On a year-to-date basis, NVDA is down 53%.Despite the steep losses, contrarian investors should consider gradually picking up shares.GuruFocus utilizes proprietary calculations to determine that NVDA stock is significantly undervalued. Based on more traditional metrics, Nvidia features excellent income-statement performance figures. For instance, the company’s three-year revenue growth rate stands at 31.3%. Its book growth rate during the aforementioned period hit 40.2%. Both stats rank at least near the 90th percentile for the industry. On the bottom line, Nvidia carries a net margin of 26%. This ranks above 87% of the competition.To top it off, NVDA is tethered to a strong balance sheet. Mainly, its Altman Z-Score is a lofty 12 points, reflecting extremely low bankruptcy risk. Thus, NVDA easily ranks among the best tech stocks to buy in November.Adobe (ADBE)Adobe(NASDAQ:ADBE) is a software company that mainly aligns with creatives. Historically, it’s known for the creation and publication of a wide range of content, including graphics, photography, illustration, animation, multimedia/video, motion pictures and print. Currently, Adobe carries a market cap of $151 billion after slipping 43% year to date.Again, based onGuruFocus’proprietary metrics, Adobe rates as significantly undervalued. One traditional metric regarding valuation to consider is its price-earnings-growth ratio of 1.09. This rates favorably below the industry median of 1.4 times.However, Adobe draws the most attention for its income statement-related performance. For example, the company’s three-year revenue growth rate and free cash flow growth rate stand at 21.9% and 23.7%, respectively. Both figures rank conspicuously above sector averages.On the bottom line, Adobe carries a net margin of 28%, well above the industry median of 1.9%. Throw in a stable balance sheet and you have another solid candidate for best tech stocks to buy in November.Intel (INTC)One of the powerhouses in the semiconductor industry, Intel(NASDAQ:INTC) represents the world’s second-largest semiconductor chip manufacturer by revenue. Per its corporate profile, it’s also one of the developers of the x86 series of instruction sets, the instruction sets found in most personal computers. Presently, INTC commands a market cap of $119 billion and is down 44% for the year.Despite sharp losses, INTC is among the best tech stocks to buy in November. Notably, INTC is significantly undervalued based on traditional metrics. Its forward P/E ratio is 10.1, below the industry median of 13.7. Also, its Shiller P/E ratio is 7.6, below the sector median of nearly 24.On the income statement, Intel features an overall solid profile. Its three-year book growth rate stands at 12.4%, above 61.5% of the competition. For net margin, it hit 26%, better than 87% of its peers.Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM)A multinational semiconductor firm, Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) represents the world’s most valuable semiconductor company, the world’s largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry, and one of Taiwan’s largest companies, per its public profile. Presently, TSM commands a market cap of nearly $322 billion and is down 48% year to date.Despite the severe erosion of equity value, TSM ranks among the best tech stocks to buy in November for contrarians. PerGuruFocus, TSM is significantly undervalued. The company’s forward P/E ratio is 10.9 is below the industry median of 13.7. Also, its price-to-owner earnings ratio is 10.5, below the industry median of 16.1.Primarily, though, TSM is all about its profitability machine. Gross, operating and net margins hit 55%, 44.7% and 40.6% respectively. Each of these metrics was well above sector median levels. As well, TSM enjoys solid growth figures, with its three-year revenue growth rate coming in at 15.5%. This ranks above 68.5% of the competition.Applied Materials (AMAT)Applied Materials(NASDAQ:AMAT) represents the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world, per its website. Currently, Applied Materials features a market cap of $77 billion, and the stock is down 43% year to date.PerGuruFocus, AMAT stock is significantly undervalued. A notable standout in terms of traditional metrics is its PEG ratio of 0.56. This ranks favorably below the industry median of 0.75.Primarily, though, Applied Materials will likely draw attention as one of the best tech stocks to buy in November because of its high-quality business. Specifically, the company’s return on equity and return on assets hit 55.5% and 26.1%, respectively. Both stats rank among the upper echelons of the semiconductor industry.To top it off, AMAT features a stable balance sheet. Most prominently, its Altman Z-Score of 7.5 implies low bankruptcy risk.Lam Research (LRCX)Lam Research(NASDAQ:LRCX) is an American supplier of wafer fabrication equipment and related services to the semiconductor industry. Currently, the company carries a market cap of slightly over $55 billion after falling 44% year to date. The stock’s average daily volume is approximately 1.9 million shares.Fundamentally, the case for LRCX as one of the top tech stocks to buy in November is two-fold. First, Lam represents a high-quality business. Its return on equity is a blistering 75.8%. That’s above 99% of the semiconductor industry. As well, the company’s return on assets hit 28.6%, ranking above 97% of its peers.Second, Lam enjoys outstanding sales-related performance. For example, its three-year revenue growth rate is 26.6%, better than 84% of the competition. As well, the company’s book growth rate during the same period is 11.9%, better than nearly 60% of its rivals.NXP Semiconductors (NXPI)Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors(NASDAQ:NXPI) is a semiconductor designer and manufacturer. After falling 33% this year, it has a market cap of roughly $40 billion.

And its forward P/E ratio of 10.6 is below the industry median of 13.7 times.The company enjoys substantive profitability margins, including an operating margin of 27%, which ranks above 84% of its peers. It’s also a high-quality business with a return on equity of nearly 36%.About the one glaring risk factor is balance sheet stability. Its Altman Z-Score pings at 2.4, which is in a gray zone. However, the higher-risk profile could lead to potentially greater gains.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ADBE":0.9,"TSM":0.9,"LRCX":0.9,"INTC":0.9,"AMAT":0.9,"NVDA":0.9,"NXPI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9981669399,"gmtCreate":1666492843012,"gmtModify":1676537761758,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9981669399","repostId":"2277025934","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2277025934","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":1666400250,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2277025934?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-22 08:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed's Rate Debate Shifts to How, and When, to Slow Down","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2277025934","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - The Federal Reserve, set to approve another large interest rate increase early next mont","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Reuters) - The Federal Reserve, set to approve another large interest rate increase early next month, is shifting to a debate over how much higher it can safely push borrowing costs and how and when to slow the pace of future increases.</p><p>The U.S. central bank is likely to provide a signal at its Nov. 1-2 policy meeting as officials weigh what some see as growing risks to economic growth against a lack of obvious progress in lowering inflation from its pandemic-related surge.</p><p>&#34;This debate about exactly where we should go, and then become more data-dependent, is going to heat up in the last part of the year here,&#34; St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said in a Reuters interview last week.</p><p>San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly added her voice to that debate on Friday during an event in Monterey, California.

But one hallmark of every market downturn is opportunity: High-quality stocks often overshoot to the downside amid broader declines which are driven largely by fear.A panel of Motley Fool contributors have identified Advanced Micro Devices , Datadog (DDOG), and Shopify as three opportunities investors should consider buying on the dip, as each stock is trading at a steep discount to its all-time high. Let's explore the details.A best-in-class semiconductor stock trading at a 65% discountAnthony Di Pizio (Advanced Micro Devices): Semiconductors are the advanced computer chips essential to our most prized electronics, and the cloud computing technology that hosts our online experiences. Advanced Micro Devices is a world-class semiconductor producer, and it's one of the most diverse in the entire industry.The company makes hardware for both the Sony PlayStation 5 and the Microsoft Xbox gaming consoles, and its chips are responsible for powering the infotainment systems in Tesla's electric vehicles. But that's not all: It also works with all the top providers of cloud services, from Amazon Web Services to Microsoft Azure to Alphabet's Google Cloud.Now, AMD is set to take a leadership position in high-performance computing thanks to its $49 billion acquisition of Xilinx earlier this year. Xilinx is a pioneer in adaptive computing, which could be the future for advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Mainstream semiconductors are often in a solid state, meaning they need to be swapped out for new ones when it's time to upgrade. But adaptive chips can adjust to the user's needs in real time and can be reconfigured even after the manufacturing process -- shortening the upgrade cycle.AMD just reported disappointing preliminary results for the third quarter of 2022, booking $5.6 billion in revenue, for growth of just 29% year over year. However, the data center segment continued to shine with $1.6 billion in revenue and a growth rate of 45%. The company's greatest opportunities over the long run could be in the data center, especially when it comes to applying adaptive technologies, so it's promising to see the segment remaining strong.Plus, according to analysts' expectations, the company remains on track to grow total sales by 45% for the whole of 2022, to $23.8 billion. With AMD stock down 65% from its all-time high, this could be a prime opportunity to take a position.An appealing balance between growth and profitability, now at a 58% discountJamie Louko (Datadog): Technology and software companies have fallen out of favor with investors lately, but that doesn't mean there aren't high-quality businesses in the space. While many investors have fled from the tech sector, companies like Datadog have continued to post stellar adoption rates and profits.Datadog operates application observability and performance monitoring software, which helps customers ensure that their digital applications and tech infrastructure are running smoothly and effectively. This is a must-have service for customers, so it makes sense that demand has remained relatively stable this year, despite the concerning economic backdrop. According to Gartner, Datadog is a leader in the space; this helped the company achieve 74% year-over-year top-line growth in Q2, reaching $406 million in revenue.Importantly, Datadog has profit and cash flow coming in, signaling that it isn't sacrificing profits to achieve artificially higher growth rates. Over the trailing 12 months, Datadog generated almost $354 million in free cash flow -- for a 26% margin -- while keeping net income at $6.5 million.This cash flow can help the company do something critical to continue thriving in this space: innovate. Competition is fierce in the application performance monitoring space, with immense pressure from established rivals like Dynatrace. For Datadog to maintain its leadership status, it must continue to build and release new products for customers, and the company has done that. As of August, Datadog had announced the rollout of six products in 2022, and it expects to roll out even more by year's end.With shares down 58% from all-time highs, Datadog's valuation has fallen from an egregious multiple to a much more acceptable one; shares trade at 74 times free cash flow. While that's still expensive on an absolute basis, it's far lower than earlier this year, when the stock was valued as high as 200 times free cash flow.Considering the company's leadership and flawless execution in an industry expected to be worth $53 billion in 2025, Datadog looks worth paying up for.The market leader in e-commerce software, at an 82% discountTrevor Jennewine (Shopify): Shopify makes it easy for merchants to manage an omnichannel business. Its software helps sellers build direct-to-consumer (D2C) websites, and it also integrates with online marketplaces like Amazon and social media like Alphabet's YouTube. Shopify sweetens the deal with adjacent services including discounted shipping, financing, and payment processing.The comprehensive nature of its offerings has made it popular with small businesses, though Shopify Plus -- a more customizable option for larger businesses -- is also gaining traction. In fact, Shopify and Shopify Plus rank as the top two e-commerce platforms in terms of market presence, according to G2 Grid, and Shopify powered 10.3% of online retail sales in the U.S. last year, second only to Amazon.Despite that strong market position, Shopify has struggled with high inflation this year, as evidenced by its disappointing financial results. Revenue climbed just 16% in the second quarter, and the company posted a non-GAAP (adjusted) loss of $0.03 per diluted share, down from a non-GAAP profit of $0.22 per diluted share in the prior year. As a result, Shopify has seen its share price plunge 82% since last peaking in November 2021.However, investors need to focus on the big picture. Shopify actually continued to gain market share in U.S. retail, both online and offline, through the first half of 2022. Moreover, temporary economic headwinds leave the long-term investment thesis unchanged: Shopify is the leading e-commerce software vendor, and it has a particularly strong foothold in the U.S. That bodes well for the future, as online retail sales in the U.S. will grow faster than 12% annually to approach $1.7 trillion by 2026.But Shopify is also working to strengthen its position and expand its market opportunity. For instance, it recently added business-to-business (B2B) commerce tools to Shopify Plus, so Plus merchants can now sell D2C and B2B from the same platform. That could be a game changer for a couple of reasons. First, it makes Shopify a more compelling option for larger sellers. In fact, management says more than half of existing Plus merchants could utilize B2B tools. Second, it should allow Shopify to capitalize on the massive B2B market. For context, global B2B e-commerce sales are expected to grow at nearly 20% annually to reach $33 trillion by 2030, according to Grand View Research.Currently, Shopify is bouncing off a 52-week low, and shares trade at an inexpensive 7.5 times sales. That's why this beaten-down growth stock is worth buying now.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMD":0.9,"SHOP":0.9,"DDOG":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1530,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989868984,"gmtCreate":1665970280148,"gmtModify":1676537684775,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989868984","repostId":"2276758809","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2276758809","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1665946740,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2276758809?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-17 02:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla, Netflix Set to Report Earnings: What to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2276758809","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Third-quarter earnings season picks up this week, with more than 60 S&P 500 companies scheduled to r","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Third-quarter earnings season picks up this week, with more than 60 S&amp;P 500 companies scheduled to report.

Nevertheless, a closer look should be given at the moat that the company has. Competitive advantage, also called a moat, is an essential part of an investment thesis. A moat can differentiate a good business from a great business. It gives the enterprise a sort of protection making it almost untouchable from the competition. It basically lets the company operate with little to no concern about its superiority and longevity. A great example of a business with such a moat is Disney (DIS) which happens to be a direct competitor of Netflix. In the article from January 11th, 2022, I contrasted both companies in terms of the moat as follows:</p><blockquote>However, if both companies were compared from a bigger perspective disregarding the financials and short-term sentiment, the following situation could be pictured to understand the fundamental difference between Disney and Netflix or in fact, any other competitor. Let&#39;s imagine that there are two companies with equally competent management. Both can be provided with all the funds they would need to grow their business. Each company is assigned a mission: one would have to dethrone Netflix as a leading streaming platform and the other - Disney. What might quickly become obvious is that no money in the World might help the second company to beat Disney at its game. The moat Disney has created over the century is something unique, which a long-term investor should be appealed to.</blockquote><p>These two businesses started being compared around the time Disney launched its direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment in December 2019. Since then, Amazon (AMZN) with its Amazon Prime, Apple (AAPL) with Apple+, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) with HBO Max, Paramount (PARA) with its Paramount+, and more players started flooding the market with their new offerings, and expanding libraries. Having an apparently narrow moat led to cracks in the walls of Netflix&#39;s streaming kingdom until the judgment day came when the company announced its earnings for the Q4 FY 2021 and the share price tumbled 20% on slowing subscriber growth. Over time it hit the bottom at $162.71 and it&#39;s currently trading at $221.68, far from the 52-week-high of <b>$700.99</b>. In addition, equity markets and macro economical environment have been weak for almost a year which makes investors even more hesitant to bet on Netflix. With competition posing a real threat to the company&#39;s business model, the streaming giant found itself in a very uncomfortable situation.</p><h2>Mounting Hurdles</h2><p>The company&#39;s narrowing moat has been exposed in recent years as its competitors started to withdraw from licensing its productions to Netflix. Instead, they could include them in their own streaming libraries and draw customers to alternative streaming platforms. At this point, Netflix has no bargaining power and the only thing it can do is to offer more money for the rights to include movies or shows in its libraries. Criminal Minds, the most-watched Netflix show in 2021, was pulled from Netflix and moved to Paramount+. Several Marvel productions also left Netflix and are now available on Disney+. The most-streamed show in 2020 on Netflix in the USA - The Office was removed from the platform as well. These are just a few examples of major content losses the company has experienced.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a45fc12ac7e1b62982c434448d2f4ef\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Pictured: After, The Amazing Spider-Man, Schitt&#39;s Creek, Hemlock Grove (whats-on-netflix.com)</span></p><p>Just in October 2022, there are <b>152 shows</b> and <b>movies</b> leaving Netflix! Among those are timeless movie creations such as I Am Legend (2007), Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Troy (2004), Full Metal Jacket (1987), and many more. Of course, the company constantly adds content. Just this month 143 positions are being added, as many as 90 of which are made by Netflix. An investor should ask himself if this is the right strategy and if the business model can be sustainable with the developments going in this direction.</p><p>A natural move for Netflix and seemingly the only chance to be less dependent on other studios was to focus at some point on original content. In 2016 2.6% of the whole content was original, while 97.4% was licensed. A shift in focus led to a drastic change in proportions where currently 50.7% of the films on Netflix are original productions. It has resulted in ballooning content costs which increased by 17.54% CAGR between 2018 and 2021. Expenses on produced content more than quadrupled from $1.02 billion in 2018 to $4.18 billion in 2021 in the same period of time. Unfortunately, these exponential cost hikes don&#39;t translate into subscriber growth which has been a key metric to value the company till recently. To keep viewers on its platform and gain significant numbers of new ones, Netflix would need shows like Squid Game much more often. Sad truth is that the originals have been far from high-quality in most cases. I touched on this matter in the article from January 11th, 2021</p><blockquote>On the other hand, there are many Netflix Originals that are terrible in terms of quality. Sadly, some of them rank below any current cinematographic standards.</blockquote><p>Contrasting Netflix with HBO Max, one can conclude that an HBO logo by the movie titles has always stood for the high-quality and best cinematographic experience. With Netflix originals, it looks quite the opposite. Before clicking Play, it&#39;d be wise to double-check the ratings and reviews to save an hour or more of poor entertainment.</p><p>Disney launched its streaming platform at the perfect moment, which was two months before the pandemic started and people got locked at home watching movies and playing computer games. It&#39;s been less than three years and Disney with its Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ overtook Netflix in terms of subscribers number.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef60fb1f79dd61e80f87b7442fcf7d49\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"373\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Number of Subscribers: Disney vs. Netflix (genuineimpact)</span></p><p>This should have been one of the few crucial moments for anybody invested in Netflix to revisit the investment thesis and thoroughly think about the outlook of the company.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>There are plenty of valuation methods that can be used when valuing a company. Discounted earnings or discounted cash flow models are among the most popular ones. The value of a productive asset such as a business is in fact expressed by the present value of its all future cash flows. In the long run, however, earnings should match the free cash flow generated by the company. And here is the first red light when looking at Netflix financials.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/515c803bc1bbdce44b1a7ac0a8d38c8d\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"217\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Author, with data from Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>The table below compares earnings per share (EPS) and free cash flow per share (FCF) over the last ten years. Thanks to the accounting technique called amortization, Netflix has made its earnings look very pretty. However, what really stands for the strength of a business is the free cash flow it generates over a long period of time. It&#39;s calculated in most cases as cash from operations minus capital expenditures. In the case of Netflix, it&#39;s very disturbing that there was no single year except for the year of the pandemic when Netflix had a positive free cash flow. The reason for this unbelievable cash drainage is again - content spending.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/691577b13c22cb86115021e524384592\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"347\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Over the last three years, Netflix has spent substantial amounts of money on content, a big part of which is being amortized, which means that the loan payments are spread out over time. The management refers to it in the annual report:</p><blockquote>On average, over 90% of a licensed or produced content asset is expected to be amortized within four years after its month of first availability. The Company reviews factors impacting the amortization of the content assets on an ongoing basis. The Company&#39;s estimates related to these factors require considerable management judgment.</blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4ed98a20a74798e8e324404bf4608f5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"404\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Comparison of Netflix cash and debt positions (Author&#39;s diagram based on Seeking Alpha data)</span></p><p>As one can see, the issue with disproportional cash outflow and mounting debt, partially covered by the amortization of the content assets started in 2016 when the management decided to shift its focus to original content production. Since then the spiral of rising liabilities has been accelerating and currently, Netflix&#39;s total debt is 3 times higher than its total cash including short-term investments. Besides that, the company&#39;s Current Ratio and Quick Ratio which represent ratios of the total assets to total liabilities and current assets to current liabilities respectively, are below 1, which also indicates a mounting debt burden.</p><p>Since using a discounted cash flow method isn&#39;t possible due to the negative and unpredictable free cash flow, one can get a sense of Netflix&#39;s value with help of other methods.</p><p>A suitable method in this situation would be Discounted Earnings Model, where earnings growth is projected over the next ten years and a present value of all the future earnings is calculated.</p><p><b>Scenario 1</b></p><p>In the first scenario, Netflix&#39;s earnings growth outlook is at 23.3% in the first five years, as projected by Seeking Alpha. It was assumed that in the following years, growth will be half as high.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a51dd35927821d8fdb2c477cb1bee50f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"513\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Discounted Earnings Model - Scenario 1 (Author&#39;s Calculation)</span></p><p>Assuming 10% as a discount rate and a 16% margin of safety (calculated in reference to the strength of the short-term and long-term health of the company), a fair price per share comes at $382.94. The result suggests that Netflix is a tremendous deal and a heavily undervalued asset being on sale. Of course, calculated fair share price depends on several factors. However, what should be considered with great caution are growth estimates. In the current environment with challenges Netflix has to face, a 23.3% earnings growth CAGR over five years might be very difficult to achieve.</p><p><b>Scenario 2</b></p><p>In Scenario 2, growth in the first five years was lowered to 11.7% and it&#39;s assumed it&#39;ll decrease to 5.8% CAGR in the following years before reaching perpetual growth of 2%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07a0872bcbf88f08c8745fdb1b4c8c58\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"513\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Discounted Earnings Model - Scenario 2 (Author&#39;s Calculation)</span></p><p>The fair price of the business with such assumptions is substantially lower, as expected. However, these projections are supposed to take into account all the mentioned obstacles that Netflix faces. The projections are conservative, but the down risk is substantially limited by applying such growth values into the model. Assuming, that Scenario 2 is the preferable one for a conservative investor, Netflix has still room to fall in order to become an interesting investment choice.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Netflix is introducing ads to its platform ($6.99 for the ad-supported tier), closing the door on password sharing, and keeps investing in content. It can also increase subscription fees which will drive its revenues higher. There are probably more ways the company can get back to growth. If some of these growth drivers start materializing, the investment thesis can be revisited with more promising projections. Nevertheless, what the business relies on the most has been subscriber growth, engaging content, and no competition around. This has changed dramatically over the last years and the results could be seen in recent months. At some point, the company also has to start generating free cash flow. It didn&#39;t happen in the years of prosperity and it will be even more difficult in the bad years. Value investors may want to follow one of the investing principles shared by Charlie Munger - Vice President of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A):</p><blockquote>A great business at a fair price is superior to a fair business at a great price.</blockquote><p>One of the conclusions drawn from this article shall be that Netflix is not a great business. Thus it&#39;s better to stay away from it when considering a long-term, low-risk, high-reward investment. It doesn&#39;t mean that the stock price will not go up or not overperform the market or other equities over periods of time. It means that the risk of the business losing its position (which has already happened) is not low enough compared to the reward the investment may bring over a long period of time which should be at least 10 years.</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>Netflix: Does The Reward Outweigh The Risk?</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\">\nNetflix: Does The Reward Outweigh The Risk?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-16 11:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4546657-netflix-does-reward-outweigh-risk><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNetflix's business relies the most on subscriber growth, engaging content, and no competition around.The walls of Netflix's streaming kingdom have been cracking.How long the business model can ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4546657-netflix-does-reward-outweigh-risk\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NFLX":"奈飞"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4546657-netflix-does-reward-outweigh-risk","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2275950254","content_text":"SummaryNetflix's business relies the most on subscriber growth, engaging content, and no competition around.The walls of Netflix's streaming kingdom have been cracking.How long the business model can be sustainable with the industry going in the current direction?Netflix is introducing ads to its platform, closing the door on password sharing, and keeps investing in content.

Sad truth is that the originals have been far from high-quality in most cases. I touched on this matter in the article from January 11th, 2021On the other hand, there are many Netflix Originals that are terrible in terms of quality. Sadly, some of them rank below any current cinematographic standards.Contrasting Netflix with HBO Max, one can conclude that an HBO logo by the movie titles has always stood for the high-quality and best cinematographic experience. With Netflix originals, it looks quite the opposite. Before clicking Play, it'd be wise to double-check the ratings and reviews to save an hour or more of poor entertainment.Disney launched its streaming platform at the perfect moment, which was two months before the pandemic started and people got locked at home watching movies and playing computer games. It's been less than three years and Disney with its Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ overtook Netflix in terms of subscribers number.Number of Subscribers: Disney vs. Netflix (genuineimpact)This should have been one of the few crucial moments for anybody invested in Netflix to revisit the investment thesis and thoroughly think about the outlook of the company.ValuationThere are plenty of valuation methods that can be used when valuing a company. Discounted earnings or discounted cash flow models are among the most popular ones. The value of a productive asset such as a business is in fact expressed by the present value of its all future cash flows. In the long run, however, earnings should match the free cash flow generated by the company. And here is the first red light when looking at Netflix financials.Source: Author, with data from Seeking AlphaThe table below compares earnings per share (EPS) and free cash flow per share (FCF) over the last ten years. Thanks to the accounting technique called amortization, Netflix has made its earnings look very pretty. However, what really stands for the strength of a business is the free cash flow it generates over a long period of time. It's calculated in most cases as cash from operations minus capital expenditures. In the case of Netflix, it's very disturbing that there was no single year except for the year of the pandemic when Netflix had a positive free cash flow. The reason for this unbelievable cash drainage is again - content spending.Over the last three years, Netflix has spent substantial amounts of money on content, a big part of which is being amortized, which means that the loan payments are spread out over time. The management refers to it in the annual report:On average, over 90% of a licensed or produced content asset is expected to be amortized within four years after its month of first availability. The Company reviews factors impacting the amortization of the content assets on an ongoing basis. The Company's estimates related to these factors require considerable management judgment.Comparison of Netflix cash and debt positions (Author's diagram based on Seeking Alpha data)As one can see, the issue with disproportional cash outflow and mounting debt, partially covered by the amortization of the content assets started in 2016 when the management decided to shift its focus to original content production. Since then the spiral of rising liabilities has been accelerating and currently, Netflix's total debt is 3 times higher than its total cash including short-term investments. Besides that, the company's Current Ratio and Quick Ratio which represent ratios of the total assets to total liabilities and current assets to current liabilities respectively, are below 1, which also indicates a mounting debt burden.Since using a discounted cash flow method isn't possible due to the negative and unpredictable free cash flow, one can get a sense of Netflix's value with help of other methods.A suitable method in this situation would be Discounted Earnings Model, where earnings growth is projected over the next ten years and a present value of all the future earnings is calculated.Scenario 1In the first scenario, Netflix's earnings growth outlook is at 23.3% in the first five years, as projected by Seeking Alpha. It was assumed that in the following years, growth will be half as high.Discounted Earnings Model - Scenario 1 (Author's Calculation)Assuming 10% as a discount rate and a 16% margin of safety (calculated in reference to the strength of the short-term and long-term health of the company), a fair price per share comes at $382.94. The result suggests that Netflix is a tremendous deal and a heavily undervalued asset being on sale. Of course, calculated fair share price depends on several factors. However, what should be considered with great caution are growth estimates. In the current environment with challenges Netflix has to face, a 23.3% earnings growth CAGR over five years might be very difficult to achieve.Scenario 2In Scenario 2, growth in the first five years was lowered to 11.7% and it's assumed it'll decrease to 5.8% CAGR in the following years before reaching perpetual growth of 2%.Discounted Earnings Model - Scenario 2 (Author's Calculation)The fair price of the business with such assumptions is substantially lower, as expected. However, these projections are supposed to take into account all the mentioned obstacles that Netflix faces. The projections are conservative, but the down risk is substantially limited by applying such growth values into the model. Assuming, that Scenario 2 is the preferable one for a conservative investor, Netflix has still room to fall in order to become an interesting investment choice.ConclusionNetflix is introducing ads to its platform ($6.99 for the ad-supported tier), closing the door on password sharing, and keeps investing in content. It can also increase subscription fees which will drive its revenues higher. There are probably more ways the company can get back to growth. If some of these growth drivers start materializing, the investment thesis can be revisited with more promising projections. Nevertheless, what the business relies on the most has been subscriber growth, engaging content, and no competition around. This has changed dramatically over the last years and the results could be seen in recent months. At some point, the company also has to start generating free cash flow. It didn't happen in the years of prosperity and it will be even more difficult in the bad years. Value investors may want to follow one of the investing principles shared by Charlie Munger - Vice President of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A):A great business at a fair price is superior to a fair business at a great price.One of the conclusions drawn from this article shall be that Netflix is not a great business. Thus it's better to stay away from it when considering a long-term, low-risk, high-reward investment. It doesn't mean that the stock price will not go up or not overperform the market or other equities over periods of time. It means that the risk of the business losing its position (which has already happened) is not low enough compared to the reward the investment may bring over a long period of time which should be at least 10 years.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"NFLX":1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1648,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989972975,"gmtCreate":1665894638497,"gmtModify":1676537676979,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989972975","repostId":"2275403939","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2275403939","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1665802807,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2275403939?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-15 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Down 58% to 75%, These 3 Growth Stocks Are Poised for a Comeback","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2275403939","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"They are down but certainly not out.","content":"<div>\n<p>Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, started his 2000 shareholder letter with the word \"ouch.\" The company's stock had fallen more than 80% in the past year, a tough time for shareholders when the dot-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/14/down-58-to-75-these-3-growth-stocks-are-poised-for/\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But Amazon's business was growing despite the disappointing investment returns. Today, Amazon is one of the world's largest companies, which means that 2000 was a wonderful time to buy shares.Sound familiar? Just over two decades later, the stock market is again in a tumultuous spot. Growth stocks are again taking it on the chin, including Palantir Technologies, Zscaler, and Spotify Technology, down 75%, 58%, and 74% from their respective highs. Despite these steep declines, each stock could make a strong comeback and reward long-term investors. Here is what you need to know.Building a new world on top of dataJustin Pope (Palantir Technologies): Almost everything you do in life today creates a digital record, and understanding and leveraging this data better than others can drive success in both public and private organizations. Palantir makes custom software solutions for its customers using its proprietary platforms: Gotham specializes in government applications, and Foundry in commercial projects. For example, Palantir helped determine which areas needed the most assistance during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 using GPS data, photos, damage reports, and census/demographics records.Palantir's relationship with the government remains strong today. It works with various departments, announcing new contracts from the Army and Department of Homeland Security totaling over $200 million just in the past couple of months. This close relationship also makes Palantir reliant on the government, which accounted for 57% of revenue over the first six months of 2022. Palantir must grow its private sector business, and it's doing that -- U.S. commercial revenue grew 120% year over year in the second quarter of this year.The company is now doing more than $1.7 billion in revenue and converting 15% of that into free cash flow. Palantir uses stock-based compensation to pay its employees, which is a non-cash expense. So while cash profits are positive, the bottom line (net income) is negative $539 million over the past four quarters. Positive free cash flow adds to a balance sheet with $2.4 billion in cash against zero debt. Investors will want to see net income trend toward a positive figure; look for revenue to grow faster than stock-based compensation over the coming years.This bear market has hammered Palantir's valuation. The stock's price-to-sales ratio (P/S) was more than 40 last year but has fallen to just 9. The company's long relationship with the U.S. government and strong commercial growth underlines the value Palantir's platform creates. The company still has just 304 customers, so there's plenty of room for long-term growth. Palantir could eventually be a very large and influential company if data continues to become a critical asset for organizations worldwide. In that case, investors might look back on 2022 fondly as an opportunity to buy low.The zero-trust company that deserves your full confidenceWill Healy (Zscaler): The rise of the cloud changed the nature of cybersecurity. Previous models built trust via IP addresses. However, with increasing numbers of devices and more interactions, securing networks from continuously changing locations demands a different solution.Hence, companies increasingly turn to zero-trust security solutions like the ones offered by Zscaler. Zero-trust treats every user as a threat and uses \"context-based identity\" (job responsibilities, location, etc.) and policy enforcement to determine access. Also, since users access resources and apps rather than networks, Zscaler's software can prevent and mitigate security breaches.Zscaler also stands out by operating as an edge computing solution. With 150 data centers worldwide, it reduces the lag time for clients. Its approach led to Gartner naming it a leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge. Additionally, it claims almost 2,100 customers with over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue, including 40% of the Fortune 500.Those numbers should continue to increase. Allied Market Research predicts the industry will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 19% through 2031, taking the market size to $126 billion. Thus, it may pleasantly surprise investors that in fiscal 2022 (which ended July 31), Zscaler generated $1.1 billion in revenue, rising 61% year over year. Due to the constant need for cybersecurity, recession threats are unlikely to slow company growth significantly, keeping revenue growth at an elevated level.Moreover, Zscaler turned a non-GAAP profit for fiscal 2022 of $101 million, rising 34%. The rapid increases in costs and expenses, foreign currency losses, and revaluations of derivative investments reduced earnings.Those fast-rising costs and expenses may also have caught Zscaler up in the bear market. The cybersecurity stock now sells at about a 60% discount to its all-time high in November. Additionally, given the current bear market, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 19 may seem intolerably high.However, those challenges should not alter the likely growth in the zero-trust security industry. Given its competitive advantages and rapid revenue growth, Zscaler looks like a screaming buy despite its elevated valuation.By one measure, Spotify stock has never been cheaperJake Lerch (Spotify Technology): Like many so-called \"stay-at-home\" stocks, Spotify shares skyrocketed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd invested $10,000 in Spotify stock in March 2020, it would have grown to more than $23,000 in March 2021. However, the last 18 months have not been kind to Spotify.And while the damage to its stock price is undeniable, the company's fundamentals remain untouched. In fact, they've improved.User growth is accelerating. In its most recent quarter (the three months ending on June 30, 2022), Spotify reported 433 monthly active users -- 5 million more than the company had projected.Both premium (i.e., subscription) and ad-supported revenue have surged. Premium revenue increased 22% year over year to 2.5 billion euros, while ad-supported revenue jumped 31% to 360 million euros. Spotify's ad-supported revenue now stands at 13% of overall revenue, the highest percentage in the company's history.Meanwhile, Spotify's valuation looks more sensible than ever. Its current price-to-sales ratio of 1.3 is an all-time low for the company -- and far below its lifetime average of 4.3. SPOT PS Ratio data by YChartsOf course, broader economic conditions are not great. Interest rates are rising and economic growth appears to be slowing. However, for long-term investors, economic slowdowns can present opportunities to build positions in the companies that will benefit when the inevitable turnaround arrives. To my eyes, Spotify -- a stock with strong fundamentals and its lowest valuation in years -- looks poised for a comeback.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLTR":0.9,"ZS":0.9,"SPOT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9914749204,"gmtCreate":1665371940908,"gmtModify":1676537594632,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111809398482662","idStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9914749204","repostId":"1177052397","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177052397","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":1665370339,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177052397?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-10 10:52","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Alibaba, Nio Shed Over 3%: Why Hong Kong Shares Are Sliding Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177052397","media":"Benzinga","summary":"KEY POINTSShares of Alibaba fell over 3% while Xpeng and Li Auto shares shed over 5%.Benchmark Hang ","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Shares of Alibaba fell over 3% while Xpeng and Li Auto shares shed over 5%.</li><li>Benchmark Hang Seng fell over 2% in morning trade.</li><li>China is witnessing a rebound in Covid-19 cases after the week-long National Day holiday.</li></ul><p>Hong Kong stocks opened in the red on Monday after major Wall Street indices closed over 2% lower on Friday, following upbeat jobs data that could potentially pave the path for the U.S. <b>Federal Reserve</b> to continue on its aggressive rate hike path.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b221b34347760d744de2542dcaac04f9\" tg-width=\"440\" tg-height=\"479\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>ANZ Research said in a note that while the unemployment drop was partially driven by a small fall in the labor force participation rate (to 62.3% from 62.4%), it was still a very solid report. “The data are a headache for the Fed, who have already delivered three consecutive 75bp rate hikes as it acts to get ahead of the surge in underlying inflation pressures,” it said.</p><p>The benchmark Hang Seng fell over 2% in morning trade.

The negative catalyst from crypto mining and Nvidia&#39;s price action is eerily similar to Q4 2018/Q1 2019 -- yet the company is not the same company it was four years ago. This is apparent by Nvidia flexing some major product muscle by timing its best-ever gaming release and its best-ever AI chip to hit the market in October.</p><p>We draw important parallels (pun intended) between the last crypto mining selloff and this selloff with key reasons as to why this time the stock&#39;s comeback will be quicker.</p><p>Nvidia stock has been in the clutches of a steep drawdown after the company has faced nearly every headwind imaginable: United States-China tensions, supply chain disruptions spanning many components, tough comps on the data center, tough comps on gaming, and a less-than-rosy macro environment.</p><p>The most impactful headwind, however, was Ethereum’s merge to Proof of Stake (PoS), which ultimately lowers demand for gaming GPUs. This contributed to a $2.5 billion cumulative miss in revenue driven by the gaming segment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e2a398864bf68c2a1547a891ae47791\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"464\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Nvidia’s stock performance in 2018 and 2022 feels eerily similar as the stock sold off 54% in 2018 specifically because of a gaming miss tied to crypto mining. Today, Nvidia is currently 57% YTD.</p><p>It took eighteen months for Nvidia to recover its all-time high from the Q4 2018 selloff (Sept 2018 through Feb 2020). Despite the uncanny similarity that 2018 and 2022 may have, Nvidia is actually a much stronger company today than it was four years ago.</p><p>Below, we discuss a few key reasons Nvidia stock will recover quicker this time around.</p><h3>Drilling into Parallels Around the Gaming Miss</h3><p>During the Q3 2018 results released in November 2018, Nvidia gave Q4 2018 revenue guidance of $2.7 billion, below the analysts’ consensus estimate of $3.4 billion. In January 2019, the company again lowered revenue guidance from $2.7 billion to $2.20 billion, which suggests a total revenue miss of $1.2 billion. Gaming revenue in Q3 2018 was $1.76 billion, up 13% YoY and down 2% QoQ. In Q4 2018, gaming revenue was $954 million, down 45% YoY and down 46% QoQ.</p><p>In the most recent quarter ending July 2022, the company missed on gaming with revenue of $2.04 billion, which is 33% lower than the year ago quarter and 44% lower sequentially. The company is expecting a further decline in gaming sequentially for Q3. According to one analyst on the call, they are modeling for a further 30% sequential decline in gaming and professional visualization offset by low to mid-single digit growth in data center and automotive. The CFO affirmed this understanding is correct.</p><p>After 2018, although it took Nvidia eighteen months to reclaim its all-time highs, in 2020-2021, Nvidia would go on to stage a remarkable turnaround as the stock led tech mega cap stocks in gains. This was not simply because all tech performed well during those years – if you compare Nvidia to Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG)(GOOGL), you’ll see something unique occurred with Nvidia that caused the stock to outpace its peers. In all cases except Apple (AAPL), Nvidia doubled, tripled or quadrupled the performance of other mega cap stocks.</p><p>Perhaps most impressive, Nvidia is still in the lead over all mega cap stocks despite a 57% drawdown this year. It’s the company’s past performance that makes it well worth the time to answer: can Nvidia do it again?</p><h3>Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40 Series is Perfectly Timed</h3><p>Next quarter, Nvidia was expected to report $6.92 billion and the company guided for $5.9 billion. This is down from $7.10 billion in Q3 of last year. This will be a 17% decline in revenue. Due to this, analysts expect Nvidia to end fiscal year 2023 with 0.8% revenue growth, or $27.13 billion in total revenue.</p><p>It’s not only the top line valuation that is affected by this cut in guidance but it’s the bottom line, as well. In previous quarters, high average sales prices drove $2 billion to $3 billion in operating profits and net profits, whereas in the most recent quarter, the company is reporting $500 million and $656 million, respectively.</p><p>The GAAP EPS reported was $0.26 compared to $0.94 in the year ago quarter. Adjusted EPS was $0.51 versus $1.04 for the year ago quarter.</p><p>Although it’s tempting to redirect the conversation toward higher-growth segments, the $2.5 billion total miss between two quarters came from gaming and it’s prudent for investors to start here (for now) when analyzing the stock for a potential recovery.</p><p>The company stated the miss was driven by both lower units and lower average sales prices including reduced consumer demand. The company is not commenting on crypto as they state they have no visibility here as to how the GPUs are being used, however, it’s certainly contributing to the bulk of this decline.</p><p>Notably, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a> reported gaming growth of 32% to $1.7 billion which provides a better picture of reduced gaming demand minus crypto. Nvidia believes some of their weakness is also from preparation for a new product generation that will be announced this month.</p><p>Per the earnings call, there are two ways that Nvidia plans to overcome the crypto mining selloff which could produce a faster rebound than 2018.</p><p>First, Nvidia is restricting supply on its current gaming model. Per the CFO: “Across those two quarters, the Q2 of ‘23, the Q3 of ‘23, we have likely undershipped gaming to our end demand significantly.”</p><p>Following the call, we estimated for our premium members that the amount undershipped is a minimum of $1 billion. The reason behind this is to help keep prices stable and to increase demand for the RTX 40 Series.</p><p>Second, Nvidia announced its GeForce RTX 40 Series at the GTC 2022 Conference this week.</p><p>The new Ada Lovelace architecture which uses 76 billion transistors and a 4nm production process. In the keynote, the CEO stated: “Nvidia engineers worked closely with TSMC to create the 4N process optimized for GPUs. This process let us integrate 76 billion transistors and over 18,000 CUDA cores, 70% more than the Ampere generation.”</p><p>The improvement from 8nm to 4nm means more transistors on the GPU, which results in better performance as the 4nm processes data faster.</p><p>In the gaming world, this much anticipated release is expected to be 2-4X faster than the RTX 3090 Ti. The flagship AD102 GPU model will have 144 individual streaming multiprocessors (SMs) in one die compared to 84 SMs in the Ampere architecture. As stated, the AD102 will also have a 70% increase in CUDA cores over the RTX 3090 Ti.</p><p>In addition to this, Nvidia is releasing a new feature called Shader Execution Reordering (SER) which will improve ray-tracing performance by 3X with 25% faster frame rates. Rather than deliver workloads sequentially, the GPUs are able to reorder the workloads to process more workloads at once which results in more power and better performance.</p><p>Deep learning super sampling (DLSS) refers to using AI to predict the next pixel. The new DLSS 3.0 not only predicts pixels but will also use AI to predict frames. This results in “up to four times” better performance over traditional rendering.</p><p>The first release date for the RTX 4090 models is October 12th with a starting price of $1,599. There is a second release date in November for the RTX 4080 models with prices of $1,199 and $899. Notably, mid-range RTX 40 series will outperform the previous generation’s high end models. This is due to the Ada Lovelace architecture which offers 1,400 Tensor TFLOPs versus 320 Tensor TFLOPs which means the DLSS is superior and the high-end RTX 30 Series cannot compete with the mid range RTX 40 series.</p><p>The popularity of this release will help determine if Nvidia can stage a comeback in the gaming segment. Here is what analysts are saying:</p><blockquote>“Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore said his &#34;biggest takeaway&#34; from the keynote at Nvidia&#39;s GTC conference were the higher prices of gaming GPUs, which increases his conviction about the pace of gaming revenue recovery next year. Prices that are 28% higher than the baseline price from two years ago for the higher volume 4080 should drive material growth in revenue, said Moore, who sees revenues in the gaming segment rebounding from the current quarter run rate of $5.5B or so to $9.5B next year.”</blockquote><blockquote>“Given the channel inventory work downs in the July and October quarters, the products should be &#34;strong demand catalysts&#34; into 2023, Harlan Sur of Chase tells investors in a research note.”</blockquote><h3>Nvidia Continues to Build a GPU Moat with H100</h3><p>In 2018, we stated in our free newsletter that Nvidia had built a moat in the GPU-powered data center. This was a bold statement as the company would go on to have negative year-over-year data center revenue in 2019. Yet, fast-forward and it’s quite clear that Nvidia is unshakeable in this segment, which has surpassed gaming as Nvidia’s most valuable segment.</p><p>I’ve written quite a bit about Nvidia, which you can reference here and also here. However, I will keep it simple by saying the A100 GPU is what led the company’s gains since Q2 2020 (detailed here) and the Hopper H100 GPU is what will lead the company’s gains for the next two years.</p><p>In the most recent quarter, data center revenue of 61% is down from 83% last quarter yet accelerated YoY from 35% growth in the year ago quarter. The earnings call reviewed some of the challenges Nvidia faced in the quarter that led to the 1% sequential growth.</p><p>First, Chinese hyperscalers slowed their infrastructure investment this year yet the slowdown is unlikely to last much longer. Due to being a large market for Nvidia, the data center growth was impacted by this. The reason Nvidia was able to meet expectations is because “North America doubled year-over-year in revenues.” As of now, supplying the Chinese military is restricted for Nvidia, but this does not include supplying the hyperscalers.</p><p>Second, demand continues to outstrip supply yet there are many components to Nvidia’s systems and they are experiencing supply chain issues.</p><blockquote>“We were challenged this quarter with a fair amount of supply chain challenges because as you know, we don’t just sell the GPU chip, but these systems are really complex with a large number of chips in the system components that we offer like HGX […] all of the components that have to come together for us to be able to deliver the final component.”</blockquote><h3>H100 Hopper Coming in October</h3><p>On the earnings call, an analyst asked if the company expects data center growth to re-accelerate when Hopper ships: “<b>Do you think that Hopper, as that comes fully available, it sounds like in fiscal 4Q, that you actually see Data Center growth reaccelerate as that product cycle materializes.”</b></p><p>The CFO Kress stated: “Our Data Center yes, we do expect it to grow.

The negative catalyst from crypto mining and Nvidia's price action is eerily similar to Q4 2018/Q1 2019 -- yet the company is not the same company it was four years ago. This is apparent by Nvidia flexing some major product muscle by timing its best-ever gaming release and its best-ever AI chip to hit the market in October.We draw important parallels (pun intended) between the last crypto mining selloff and this selloff with key reasons as to why this time the stock's comeback will be quicker.Nvidia stock has been in the clutches of a steep drawdown after the company has faced nearly every headwind imaginable: United States-China tensions, supply chain disruptions spanning many components, tough comps on the data center, tough comps on gaming, and a less-than-rosy macro environment.The most impactful headwind, however, was Ethereum’s merge to Proof of Stake (PoS), which ultimately lowers demand for gaming GPUs. This contributed to a $2.5 billion cumulative miss in revenue driven by the gaming segment.Nvidia’s stock performance in 2018 and 2022 feels eerily similar as the stock sold off 54% in 2018 specifically because of a gaming miss tied to crypto mining. Today, Nvidia is currently 57% YTD.It took eighteen months for Nvidia to recover its all-time high from the Q4 2018 selloff (Sept 2018 through Feb 2020). Despite the uncanny similarity that 2018 and 2022 may have, Nvidia is actually a much stronger company today than it was four years ago.Below, we discuss a few key reasons Nvidia stock will recover quicker this time around.Drilling into Parallels Around the Gaming MissDuring the Q3 2018 results released in November 2018, Nvidia gave Q4 2018 revenue guidance of $2.7 billion, below the analysts’ consensus estimate of $3.4 billion. In January 2019, the company again lowered revenue guidance from $2.7 billion to $2.20 billion, which suggests a total revenue miss of $1.2 billion. Gaming revenue in Q3 2018 was $1.76 billion, up 13% YoY and down 2% QoQ. In Q4 2018, gaming revenue was $954 million, down 45% YoY and down 46% QoQ.In the most recent quarter ending July 2022, the company missed on gaming with revenue of $2.04 billion, which is 33% lower than the year ago quarter and 44% lower sequentially. The company is expecting a further decline in gaming sequentially for Q3. According to one analyst on the call, they are modeling for a further 30% sequential decline in gaming and professional visualization offset by low to mid-single digit growth in data center and automotive. The CFO affirmed this understanding is correct.After 2018, although it took Nvidia eighteen months to reclaim its all-time highs, in 2020-2021, Nvidia would go on to stage a remarkable turnaround as the stock led tech mega cap stocks in gains. This was not simply because all tech performed well during those years – if you compare Nvidia to Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG)(GOOGL), you’ll see something unique occurred with Nvidia that caused the stock to outpace its peers. In all cases except Apple (AAPL), Nvidia doubled, tripled or quadrupled the performance of other mega cap stocks.Perhaps most impressive, Nvidia is still in the lead over all mega cap stocks despite a 57% drawdown this year. It’s the company’s past performance that makes it well worth the time to answer: can Nvidia do it again?Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40 Series is Perfectly TimedNext quarter, Nvidia was expected to report $6.92 billion and the company guided for $5.9 billion. This is down from $7.10 billion in Q3 of last year. This will be a 17% decline in revenue. Due to this, analysts expect Nvidia to end fiscal year 2023 with 0.8% revenue growth, or $27.13 billion in total revenue.It’s not only the top line valuation that is affected by this cut in guidance but it’s the bottom line, as well. In previous quarters, high average sales prices drove $2 billion to $3 billion in operating profits and net profits, whereas in the most recent quarter, the company is reporting $500 million and $656 million, respectively.The GAAP EPS reported was $0.26 compared to $0.94 in the year ago quarter. Adjusted EPS was $0.51 versus $1.04 for the year ago quarter.Although it’s tempting to redirect the conversation toward higher-growth segments, the $2.5 billion total miss between two quarters came from gaming and it’s prudent for investors to start here (for now) when analyzing the stock for a potential recovery.The company stated the miss was driven by both lower units and lower average sales prices including reduced consumer demand. The company is not commenting on crypto as they state they have no visibility here as to how the GPUs are being used, however, it’s certainly contributing to the bulk of this decline.Notably, AMD reported gaming growth of 32% to $1.7 billion which provides a better picture of reduced gaming demand minus crypto. Nvidia believes some of their weakness is also from preparation for a new product generation that will be announced this month.Per the earnings call, there are two ways that Nvidia plans to overcome the crypto mining selloff which could produce a faster rebound than 2018.First, Nvidia is restricting supply on its current gaming model. Per the CFO: “Across those two quarters, the Q2 of ‘23, the Q3 of ‘23, we have likely undershipped gaming to our end demand significantly.”Following the call, we estimated for our premium members that the amount undershipped is a minimum of $1 billion. The reason behind this is to help keep prices stable and to increase demand for the RTX 40 Series.Second, Nvidia announced its GeForce RTX 40 Series at the GTC 2022 Conference this week.The new Ada Lovelace architecture which uses 76 billion transistors and a 4nm production process. In the keynote, the CEO stated: “Nvidia engineers worked closely with TSMC to create the 4N process optimized for GPUs. This process let us integrate 76 billion transistors and over 18,000 CUDA cores, 70% more than the Ampere generation.”The improvement from 8nm to 4nm means more transistors on the GPU, which results in better performance as the 4nm processes data faster.In the gaming world, this much anticipated release is expected to be 2-4X faster than the RTX 3090 Ti. The flagship AD102 GPU model will have 144 individual streaming multiprocessors (SMs) in one die compared to 84 SMs in the Ampere architecture. As stated, the AD102 will also have a 70% increase in CUDA cores over the RTX 3090 Ti.In addition to this, Nvidia is releasing a new feature called Shader Execution Reordering (SER) which will improve ray-tracing performance by 3X with 25% faster frame rates. Rather than deliver workloads sequentially, the GPUs are able to reorder the workloads to process more workloads at once which results in more power and better performance.Deep learning super sampling (DLSS) refers to using AI to predict the next pixel. The new DLSS 3.0 not only predicts pixels but will also use AI to predict frames. This results in “up to four times” better performance over traditional rendering.The first release date for the RTX 4090 models is October 12th with a starting price of $1,599. There is a second release date in November for the RTX 4080 models with prices of $1,199 and $899. Notably, mid-range RTX 40 series will outperform the previous generation’s high end models. This is due to the Ada Lovelace architecture which offers 1,400 Tensor TFLOPs versus 320 Tensor TFLOPs which means the DLSS is superior and the high-end RTX 30 Series cannot compete with the mid range RTX 40 series.The popularity of this release will help determine if Nvidia can stage a comeback in the gaming segment. Here is what analysts are saying:“Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore said his \"biggest takeaway\" from the keynote at Nvidia's GTC conference were the higher prices of gaming GPUs, which increases his conviction about the pace of gaming revenue recovery next year. Prices that are 28% higher than the baseline price from two years ago for the higher volume 4080 should drive material growth in revenue, said Moore, who sees revenues in the gaming segment rebounding from the current quarter run rate of $5.5B or so to $9.5B next year.”“Given the channel inventory work downs in the July and October quarters, the products should be \"strong demand catalysts\" into 2023, Harlan Sur of Chase tells investors in a research note.”Nvidia Continues to Build a GPU Moat with H100In 2018, we stated in our free newsletter that Nvidia had built a moat in the GPU-powered data center. This was a bold statement as the company would go on to have negative year-over-year data center revenue in 2019. Yet, fast-forward and it’s quite clear that Nvidia is unshakeable in this segment, which has surpassed gaming as Nvidia’s most valuable segment.I’ve written quite a bit about Nvidia, which you can reference here and also here. However, I will keep it simple by saying the A100 GPU is what led the company’s gains since Q2 2020 (detailed here) and the Hopper H100 GPU is what will lead the company’s gains for the next two years.In the most recent quarter, data center revenue of 61% is down from 83% last quarter yet accelerated YoY from 35% growth in the year ago quarter. The earnings call reviewed some of the challenges Nvidia faced in the quarter that led to the 1% sequential growth.First, Chinese hyperscalers slowed their infrastructure investment this year yet the slowdown is unlikely to last much longer. Due to being a large market for Nvidia, the data center growth was impacted by this. The reason Nvidia was able to meet expectations is because “North America doubled year-over-year in revenues.” As of now, supplying the Chinese military is restricted for Nvidia, but this does not include supplying the hyperscalers.Second, demand continues to outstrip supply yet there are many components to Nvidia’s systems and they are experiencing supply chain issues.“We were challenged this quarter with a fair amount of supply chain challenges because as you know, we don’t just sell the GPU chip, but these systems are really complex with a large number of chips in the system components that we offer like HGX […] all of the components that have to come together for us to be able to deliver the final component.”H100 Hopper Coming in OctoberOn the earnings call, an analyst asked if the company expects data center growth to re-accelerate when Hopper ships: “Do you think that Hopper, as that comes fully available, it sounds like in fiscal 4Q, that you actually see Data Center growth reaccelerate as that product cycle materializes.”The CFO Kress stated: “Our Data Center yes, we do expect it to grow. It may grow about what we just saw between Q1 and Q2. We’ll continue to look at it.”I believe this means the data center will accelerate above 61% but not to exceed the 83% from Q1. Ultimately, the CFO may not have full visibility into Hopper sales until the units ship and are tested by customers, who in turn, often buy more if the product exceeds expectations.On that note, the new 4nm chips are bound to impress.

They need to somehow downshift without backing off,&#34; he said.</p><p>Fed officials left rates near zero last year as they focused on spurring a strong labor market recovery. The war in Ukraine this spring sent commodity prices higher and fueled concerns that inflation might become embedded into wage and price contracts.</p><p>&#34;Moving in these 75-basis-point steps was effective when the Fed had a long way to go. It becomes more problematic when they need to calibrate policy more carefully, and I believe we&#39;re approaching that point,&#34; said Brian Sack, who ran the New York Fed&#39;s markets desk from 2009 to 2012 and is now the director of economics at hedge-fund manager D.E. Shaw.</p><p>Some Fed critics say the current surge in inflation is the result of global disruptions rather than an overheated U.S. labor market, and they are pointing to signs that prices have begun to fall for a swath of goods and services, including commodities, freight shipping, and housing.</p><p>Housing costs have contributed notably to inflation in recent months amid large increases over the past year in residential rents. But housing demand is falling sharply as the 30-year mortgage rate nears 7%, a 16-year high -- a direct result of the Fed&#39;s rate increases. Home prices started to fall this summer in more U.S. markets, and economists at Goldman Sachs expect price drops of between 5% and 10% nationally by the end of next year. Apartment rent increases also have begun to slow.</p><p>Asset prices have also taken a beating,  which tends to reduce spending and investment.  A portfolio invested 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds is down nearly 20% this year.</p><p>&#34;The housing market doesn&#39;t look pretty, and that will eventually spread to the rest of the economy,&#34; said Mr. Mankiw. Lower asset prices will, too, at some point, he said.</p><p>Fed officials are cautious about expecting inflation to fall because it has consistently defied such forecasts over the past year. Some have pointed to risks of additional economic disruptions -- for example, higher energy prices this winter if Russia suspends oil sales.</p><p>The strong U.S. labor market is fueling several officials&#39; concerns by making it easy for workers to switch jobs in pursuit of higher pay, putting upward pressures on wages. That could especially be the case if consumer spending keeps shifting away from goods toward more labor-intensive services.</p><p>Eric Rosengren, who headed the Boston Fed from 2007 until last year, said he sees the Fed&#39;s projected policy path as broadly appropriate. &#34;If anything, I think the risks show they&#39;re going to have to raise rates a bit more than they&#39;re suggesting,&#34; he said. &#34;The U.S. economy, to date, looks more resilient than I might have expected given the rate increases that have already occurred.&#34;</p><p>Traditionally, the Fed set policy based on forecasts of inflation, which lags behind changes in output. But officials now are reacting more to the latest inflation data &#34;because they have absolutely zero confidence in their ability to forecast inflation,&#34; said Nathan Sheets, chief global economist at Citigroup. He said he is concerned the Fed will overdo rate rises but concedes inflation in the service sector is &#34;pretty concerning.&#34;</p><p>One risk is that economic activity slows sharply but filters through to inflation measures with a longer-than-usual delay. Wholesale prices of used cars have been dropping in recent months, for example, but this hasn&#39;t shown up broadly in price indexes yet. Housing prices and residential rents are calculated in a way that is particularly lagged.</p><p>Mr. Sheets said waiting for proof that inflation is declining before slowing rate rises means monetary policy could be &#34;held hostage by something you know with high confidence is going to reverse in the coming months.&#34;</p><p>New York Fed President John Williams said last week he expects falling commodity prices and easing bottlenecks to bring inflation to 3% by the end of next year, leaving it still too far above the Fed&#39;s 2% goal.</p><p>Government policy makers focused heavily last year on avoiding the mistakes they thought were made after the 2008 downturn. Some said it would be easier to bring down inflation that overshot the Fed&#39;s 2% target than to lift inflation from below that level.</p><p>Now, officials have signaled they are willing to err on the side of raising rates too much because they don&#39;t want to repeat the mistakes of the early 1970s, when consumers and businesses began to anticipate high inflation, causing prices to keep rising. The Fed ultimately raised interest rates high enough to trigger a severe recession in the early 1980s to bring down prices and break that psychology.</p><p>&#34;There is a record of failed attempts to get inflation under control, which only raises the ultimate costs to society of getting it under control,&#34; Mr. Powell said last month.</p><p>Fed officials have spent considerable time studying the 1970s &#34;and will avoid making those mistakes,&#34; said Diane Swonk, chief economist at accounting firm KPMG. &#34;But it opens the door to a whole host of new mistakes.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Sack said he sees meaningful risks from both too much and too little tightening. &#34;It&#39;s not a completely one-sided story,&#34; he said. &#34;There are also risks from financial markets reacting in an abrupt way to higher rates, or from the slowdown in activity building on itself and becoming harder to control.&#34;</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>Fed's Inflation Fight Has Some Economists Fearing an Unnecessarily Deep Downturn</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\">\nFed's Inflation Fight Has Some Economists Fearing an Unnecessarily Deep Downturn\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-10-09 09:02</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Some economists fear the Federal Reserve -- humbled after waiting too long to withdraw its support of a booming economy last year -- is risking another blunder by potentially raising interest rates too much to combat high inflation.</p><p>The Fed has lifted rates by 0.75 percentage point at each of its past three meetings, bringing its benchmark federal-funds rate to a range between 3% and 3.25% last month -- the fastest pace of increases since the 1980s.

said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group in Omaha, Nebraska. &#34;Investors will look back and realize this was the year the Fed pulled a total 180 on their views on inflation and quickly turned incredibly hawkish.&#34;</p><p>The Federal Reserve has rattled markets by engaging in its most relentless series of interest rate hikes in decades in order to rein in stubbornly high inflation, which has many market participants eyeing key economic data for signs of a looming recession.</p><p>&#34;The realization that the Fed is doing anything they can to combat 40-year-high inflation has investors worried they will push the economy over the edge and into recession,&#34; Detrick added.</p><p>The Commerce Department&#39;s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) report did little to assuage those fears, showing that while consumers continue to spend, the prices they are paying have accelerated, drifting further beyond the Fed&#39;s inflation target and all but ensuring the central bank&#39;s hawkish monetary policy will continue longer than investors had hoped.</p><p>Recession fears also echoed through dire warnings from Nike Inc and cruise operator Carnival Corp, both citing inflation-related margin pressures.</p><p>Shares of the companies tanked by 12.8% and 23.3%, respectively.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 500.1 points, or 1.71%, to 28,725.51;

Then, we saw a significant counter-trend rally into mid-August. However, despite the late summer stock market optimism, it&#39;s doubtful that the bear market is over. Recent inflation numbers illustrate that the economic climate remains highly challenging, and the Fed needs to do more. Unfortunately, interest rates are moving higher, and stocks will probably continue dropping.</p><p>Moreover, we haven&#39;t seen many of the hallmark signs of a long-term bottom. There should be more blood in the streets, and the ultimate bear market bottom could arrive at around 3,000 in the S&amp;P 500 in a base case outcome. I&#39;m capitalizing on the volatility by hedging and buying high-quality stocks on big dips.</p><p>The Technical Image - Very Bearish Now</p><p><b>SPX 1-Year Chart</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86a0e3641f8acc8cb2a23a7d95ff08fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SPX(StockCharts.com )</p><p>The S&amp;P 500&#39;s bear market began right around the start of 2022. Since the bearish trend began, we&#39;ve seen a series of lower highs and lower lows. The most recent high occurred in mid-August when I put out a near-term top alert. Now, things are becoming more bearish. After the recent high, the market attempted to rebound but got smacked down by Jerome Powell&#39;s Jackson Hole remarks. More recently, the market tried to muster another rally, but the higher-than-anticipated inflation numbers brought a quick end to that attempt.</p><p>Now, we&#39;re looking at an increasingly bearish technical image as the SPX is putting in a pessimistic head and shoulders pattern and is on the verge of busting through critical 3,900 support. Once below this level, the S&amp;P 500 should at least retest the prior low around 3,700-3,600. However, a likelier scenario is that the S&amp;P will make a lower low, dropping the SPX down into the 3,400-3,000 range next.</p><h2>What Do Jackson Hole And Inflation Have In Common?</h2><p>At Jackson Hole, we learned just how intent the Fed is on battling inflation and how bearish this phenomenon is for the stock market. I wrote about the Fed&#39;s bearish symposium several weeks ago. The key takeaway from Chair Powell&#39;s speech is that inflation is much more persistent and challenging to deal with than previously expected. The Fed must do much more to lower inflation. The dynamic of high-interest rates, slower growth, and a worsening labor market will bring substantial pain to households and businesses.</p><p>Now, Let&#39;s Look At Inflation</p><p><b>CPI Inflation</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e415ae81767865727859c61ace2822d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"313\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CPI inflation(TradingEconomics.com )</p><p>While inflation has decreased from the 9.1% reading, it remains remarkably high. Inflation is running hotter than we&#39;ve seen in about 40 years now. The primary issue is that the Fed has been raising interest rates and implementing other tightening measures like QT, but we&#39;re seeing a minimal effect on inflation. Therefore, the Fed needs to do more. However, more tightening will further constrict economic growth and decrease consumer confidence. Additionally, higher inflation, lower growth, and worsening spending negatively impact corporate profits and should lead to more pain as we advance.</p><h2>Don&#39;t Fight The Fed</h2><p>Wise people have told me, &#34;you don&#39;t fight the Fed.&#34; You don&#39;t want to fight the Fed when the central bank is easing. We saw ultra-loose monetary policy since the 2008 financial crisis, and stocks did great for much of that time. However, we are in a completely different economic environment now. As the Fed pulls liquidity out of markets, the cost of borrowing increases, growth slows, sentiment worsens, and risk assets deflate. Furthermore, we&#39;ve underestimated the severity of the inflation problem and the Fed&#39;s commitment to making it &#34;go away.&#34;</p><p><b>Rate Probabilities</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/50e5b344a6418c8597ba3e52b0570b80\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"496\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Fed Watch(CMEGroup.com )</p><p>Just one month ago, the market expected a 50 basis point hike at the upcoming Fed meeting. There is about a 25% probability that we may see a 100 basis point move. Whether we see a 75 basis point hike or a full 1% increase next week is not that relevant. The fact is that the Fed is intent on increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. Unfortunately, the benchmark will be above 3% after next week&#39;s meeting. With rates at such elevated levels, economic growth will weaken further, and there is no telling when the inflation problem may end.</p><h2>Uncertainty Ahead For Stocks</h2><p>There is increased uncertainty surrounding inflation, growth, Fed tightening, the consumer, recession, corporate earnings, and much more. Typically, I would say that the stock market will climb the wall of worry, but this wall of worry may be too high to climb.</p><p>One of the most troubling factors is that we don&#39;t know how deep the downturn will cut into corporate results. We already see declining revenues, worsening margins, and fewer profits at major corporations. However, these declines could continue, and future downward earnings revisions could persist. Additionally, valuations remain relatively high, and this dynamic could mean lower stock prices before this bear market gets sorted out.</p><h2>The Valuation Dynamic</h2><p><b>The Shiller P/E Ratio</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32d6272d7dbe21608d8468cf653f5ad0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"301\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Shiller P/E ratio(multpl.com)</p><p>We see the Shiller P/E coming down lately, but the drop has just begun. We can see that once the Shiller P/E drops, it rarely stops until a relatively low has been achieved. We should see the CAPE P/E ratio decline as the economy weakens, earnings decrease, and valuations come down. A reasonably conservative target could be a Shiller P/E ratio of approximately 20. While the historical mean is only 17, the market has become accustomed to higher P/E ratio valuations in recent years. Therefore, we may see increased buy interest around the 20 level, if the SPX doesn&#39;t overshoot to the downside. A decline to a 20 Shiller P/E ratio would equate to an approximately 28% drop from current levels, roughly coinciding with the 2,800 level in the S&amp;P 500. Therefore, my ultimate bottom in the S&amp;P 500 target remains at 3,000. However, the market may overshoot lower into the 2,800-2,400 range in a bearish case outcome.</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>The S&P 500: There Will Be Blood</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\">\nThe S&P 500: There Will Be Blood\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-19 14:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4541687-sp-500-there-will-be-blood><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe S&P 500 and stocks, in general, are dropping again.Despite an optimistic run in the summer, the reality is setting in once again.Inflation is more persistent than expected, and the Fed ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4541687-sp-500-there-will-be-blood\">Source Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SPY":"标普500ETF",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4541687-sp-500-there-will-be-blood","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1177047620","content_text":"SummaryThe S&P 500 and stocks, in general, are dropping again.Despite an optimistic run in the summer, the reality is setting in once again.Inflation is more persistent than expected, and the Fed likely has to do much more tightening.Many stocks are still expensive, and valuations remain relatively high.The ultimate bottom for the S&P 500 may come at 3,000 or lower. I am hedging and buying high-quality stocks on big dips.The S&P 500/SPX (SP500) hit a low of around 3,640 in mid-June, roughly a 25% drop from the top. Then, we saw a significant counter-trend rally into mid-August. However, despite the late summer stock market optimism, it's doubtful that the bear market is over. Recent inflation numbers illustrate that the economic climate remains highly challenging, and the Fed needs to do more. Unfortunately, interest rates are moving higher, and stocks will probably continue dropping.Moreover, we haven't seen many of the hallmark signs of a long-term bottom. There should be more blood in the streets, and the ultimate bear market bottom could arrive at around 3,000 in the S&P 500 in a base case outcome. I'm capitalizing on the volatility by hedging and buying high-quality stocks on big dips.The Technical Image - Very Bearish NowSPX 1-Year ChartSPX(StockCharts.com )The S&P 500's bear market began right around the start of 2022. Since the bearish trend began, we've seen a series of lower highs and lower lows. The most recent high occurred in mid-August when I put out a near-term top alert. Now, things are becoming more bearish. After the recent high, the market attempted to rebound but got smacked down by Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole remarks. More recently, the market tried to muster another rally, but the higher-than-anticipated inflation numbers brought a quick end to that attempt.Now, we're looking at an increasingly bearish technical image as the SPX is putting in a pessimistic head and shoulders pattern and is on the verge of busting through critical 3,900 support. Once below this level, the S&P 500 should at least retest the prior low around 3,700-3,600. However, a likelier scenario is that the S&P will make a lower low, dropping the SPX down into the 3,400-3,000 range next.What Do Jackson Hole And Inflation Have In Common?At Jackson Hole, we learned just how intent the Fed is on battling inflation and how bearish this phenomenon is for the stock market. I wrote about the Fed's bearish symposium several weeks ago. The key takeaway from Chair Powell's speech is that inflation is much more persistent and challenging to deal with than previously expected. The Fed must do much more to lower inflation. The dynamic of high-interest rates, slower growth, and a worsening labor market will bring substantial pain to households and businesses.Now, Let's Look At InflationCPI InflationCPI inflation(TradingEconomics.com )While inflation has decreased from the 9.1% reading, it remains remarkably high. Inflation is running hotter than we've seen in about 40 years now. The primary issue is that the Fed has been raising interest rates and implementing other tightening measures like QT, but we're seeing a minimal effect on inflation. Therefore, the Fed needs to do more. However, more tightening will further constrict economic growth and decrease consumer confidence. Additionally, higher inflation, lower growth, and worsening spending negatively impact corporate profits and should lead to more pain as we advance.Don't Fight The FedWise people have told me, \"you don't fight the Fed.\" You don't want to fight the Fed when the central bank is easing. We saw ultra-loose monetary policy since the 2008 financial crisis, and stocks did great for much of that time. However, we are in a completely different economic environment now. As the Fed pulls liquidity out of markets, the cost of borrowing increases, growth slows, sentiment worsens, and risk assets deflate. Furthermore, we've underestimated the severity of the inflation problem and the Fed's commitment to making it \"go away.\"Rate ProbabilitiesFed Watch(CMEGroup.com )Just one month ago, the market expected a 50 basis point hike at the upcoming Fed meeting. There is about a 25% probability that we may see a 100 basis point move. Whether we see a 75 basis point hike or a full 1% increase next week is not that relevant. The fact is that the Fed is intent on increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. Unfortunately, the benchmark will be above 3% after next week's meeting. With rates at such elevated levels, economic growth will weaken further, and there is no telling when the inflation problem may end.Uncertainty Ahead For StocksThere is increased uncertainty surrounding inflation, growth, Fed tightening, the consumer, recession, corporate earnings, and much more. Typically, I would say that the stock market will climb the wall of worry, but this wall of worry may be too high to climb.One of the most troubling factors is that we don't know how deep the downturn will cut into corporate results. We already see declining revenues, worsening margins, and fewer profits at major corporations. However, these declines could continue, and future downward earnings revisions could persist. Additionally, valuations remain relatively high, and this dynamic could mean lower stock prices before this bear market gets sorted out.The Valuation DynamicThe Shiller P/E RatioShiller P/E ratio(multpl.com)We see the Shiller P/E coming down lately, but the drop has just begun. We can see that once the Shiller P/E drops, it rarely stops until a relatively low has been achieved. We should see the CAPE P/E ratio decline as the economy weakens, earnings decrease, and valuations come down. A reasonably conservative target could be a Shiller P/E ratio of approximately 20. While the historical mean is only 17, the market has become accustomed to higher P/E ratio valuations in recent years. Therefore, we may see increased buy interest around the 20 level, if the SPX doesn't overshoot to the downside. A decline to a 20 Shiller P/E ratio would equate to an approximately 28% drop from current levels, roughly coinciding with the 2,800 level in the S&P 500. Therefore, my ultimate bottom in the S&P 500 target remains at 3,000. However, the market may overshoot lower into the 2,800-2,400 range in a bearish case outcome.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"SPY":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":671,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947494533,"gmtCreate":1683424400323,"gmtModify":1683424403766,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4111809398482662","authorIdStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thank you&nbsp;","listText":"Thank you&nbsp;","text":"Thank you","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9947494533","repostId":"1128633960","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1128633960","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"1012688067","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1683417035,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1128633960?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-05-07 07:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A Full Recap of Everything Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger Said at Berkshire’s Annual Meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1128633960","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"The Q&A session at Berkshire Hathaway’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting ended early on Saturday, a","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Q&amp;A session at Berkshire Hathaway’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting ended early on Saturday, after back-to-back three-hour sessions of questioning for the conglomerate’s management.</p><p>CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairmen Charlie Munger, Ajit Jain, and Greg Abel addressed queries from shareholders about Berkshire’s business performance, their thoughts on macroeconomic issues and the recent banking turmoil</p><p>Buffett, 92, and Munger, 99, sprinkled in genial anecdotes and grandfatherly advice for Berkshire’s younger shareholders. Attendance was high at this year’s so-called “Woodstock for Capitalists,” after a relatively muted 2022 confab following two year of virtual meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>Berkshire’s first-quarter results were released earlier on Saturday morning, showing a 12.6% rise in operating profit, to $8.1 billion, and a faster pace of buybacks compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Berkshire Won’t Be Investing In Automakers, Buffett Says</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) isn’t likely to invest in shares of automakers like General Motors (GM) or Ford Motor (F), CEO Warren Buffett said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday.</p><p>“Charlie [Munger] and I have long felt that the auto business is just too tough,” Buffett said, adding an anecdote about Henry Ford’s challenges in the industry in the early 1900s.</p><p>Buffett said that there are too many global competitors for the automaking business to generate attractive returns. It’s also in the midst of a transition to electric vehicles, which imposes huge capital costs and risks in the near term before it becomes clear which companies will be successful and which won’t.</p><p>Berkshire prefers the auto dealership business, where it owns 78 dealerships across the U.S. Those generate more than $8 billion in annual revenue, making Berkshire among the largest dealership groups in the U.S.</p><h3>Buffett Says Berkshire Remains On the Hunt for an ‘Elephant-Sized’ Acquisition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) has nearly $130 billion in cash and Treasury bills on its balance sheet. There’s ongoing speculation about what the company might do with all that dry powder.</p><p>At Berkshire’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday, CEO Warren Buffett said that he would rather do a deal for a large company than sit on the cash, earning interest, but that it all depends on the prices available. Things are generally expensive these days.</p><p>“If we could buy a company for $15 billion, $75 billion, $100 billion, we could do it,” Buffett said. He noted that it’s more complex to buy a publicly traded company due to the longer timeline, shareholder vote, and other rules. But there just aren’t that many private companies of that scale available.</p><p>Buffett spoke about opportunities that emerged during the global financial crisis in 2008, including deals to buy shares in several troubled banks at attractive prices, and said that he expects Berkshire to get similar calls in the future.</p><p>“There’s no one else quite like us who can [do a deal] under the right circumstances,” Buffett said.</p><p>In the meantime, Berkshire is earning close to 5% on its T-bills. It has also been buying stock in recent years.</p><h3>Cash Is Not Trash, Buffett Says</h3><p>Buffett is watching currency in circulation, calling it &#34;one of the most interesting figures&#34; to consider and calling out those who previously said &#34;cash is trash&#34; back in 2007 and 2008.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;The Federal Reserve balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion and most of that&#39;s in $100 bills overwhelmingly. … I would really like to know where all of that is,&#34; he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;Anyone who thinks cash is trash ought to look at the Federal Reserve balance sheet,&#34; he added. &#34;It is just astounding the way $100 bills have spread. … Believe me, cash is not trash.&#34;</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett knocks down speculation Berkshire would take full control of Occidental</h3><p>Buffett said Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway won&#39;t take full control of Occidental Petroleum, the energy stock where it has amassed a stake above 20%.</p><p>&#34;There&#39;s speculation about us buying control, we&#39;re not going to buy control. … We wouldn&#39;t know what to do with it,&#34; he said.</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett says he’ll stick with Bank of America</h3><p>Buffett says he’s keeping his Bank of America holdings <em>— </em>but that he doesn’t know what’s in store.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We do remain with one bank holding ... , but we originated that deal, with Bank of America. I like Bank of America, I liked the management and I proposed the deal for them. So I stick with it,” said Buffett.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He said that the recent crises in the banking sector have reaffirmed his belief that the American public and lawmakers fail to understand the banking sector.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“But do I know how to project out what’s going to happen from here? The answer is I don’t, because I’ve seen so many things in the last few months, which really weren’t that unexpected to me to see. But which reconfirmed my belief that the American public doesn’t understand our banking system.”</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">It’s a joke to think of ‘tokens’ as the world’s reserve currency, Buffett says</h3><p>People may be losing faith in the dollar, but that doesn’t make it bitcoin’s moment to shine, Buffett said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Forget about all the toys – it’s a joke to think of any tokens, that’s madness,” when it comes to the reserve currency of the world, he said. “But it’s also madness to just keep printing money.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett was responding to a question about the current dedollarization trend and warned about the extent to which the U.S. has been printing money.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s easy for America to do a lot, but if we do too much it’s very hard to see how you recover once you’ve let the genie out of the bottle,” he said. “People lose faith in the currency and they behave in an entirely different manner than they do when they feel … they’re going to have something with roughly equal purchasing power. It changes the economy.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Munger criticized it more sharply, saying “at some point printing money to buy boats will become counterproductive.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Still, Buffett stood by the dollar: “We are the reserve currency, I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Bitcoin gained popularity among investors in 2021 because of its potential to act as an inflation hedge, after the U.S. printed trillions of dollars in Covid-19 stimulus. Many have let go of that narrative after bitcoin dropped more than 60% in 2022 amid persistently high inflation.</p><h3>Buffett Says Streaming Remains a Challenging Business, Sticks With Paramount</h3><p>CEO Warren Buffett addressed Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) investment in Paramount Global (PARA) at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The media company is in the midst of an expensive transition from legacy businesses in cable TV and movies to a streaming future.</p><p>Paramount shares dropped 28% on May 5 following a disastrous quarterly earnings report that included a large loss and a slash to the company’s dividend.</p><p>“It’s not good news when any company cuts its dividend dramatically,” Buffett said.</p><p>He noted that the streaming business remains challenging, with numerous competitors keeping prices low. It’s easy to cancel a streaming subscription and hop to a competing service.</p><p>“There are a bunch of companies who don’t want to quit,” Buffett said. “Who knows what will happen with pricing.”</p><p>Berkshire became the largest holder of Paramount stock last year, with a stake of around 15%. Shares are down by about half since Berkshire began buying in the first quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Buffett Faults Bank Risk Taking, Calls for More Active FDIC</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett sees excessive risk taking at banks as the root of the 2023 banking turmoil. He called for more conservative banking practices and better communication from regulators at Berkshire’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The situation in banking is what it always was,” Buffett said. “Fear is contagious. Sometimes the fear is justified, sometimes it isn’t.” Buffett recalled that his father, Howard Buffett, lost his job during a bank run in the Great Depression.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett praised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the greater stability of the banking system offered by the regulators’ deposit insurance, but said that it needed to better communicate with the American public to prevent further potential bank runs and potentially consider guaranteeing 100% of deposits until the current turmoil has passed. That’s especially relevant today, when digital banking makes deposits less “sticky,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett faulted management at First Republic Bank—which was shut down by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last month before its takeover by JPMorgan Chase (JPM)—for concentrating its balance sheet in low-yielding assets that lost value as interest rates rose over the past year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett placed signs reading “Available for Sale” and “Held-to-Maturity” on the table in front of him and Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, to laughs from the audience. Those are terms that refer to the accounting treatment of securities on a bank’s balance sheet.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’m old fashioned,” Munger said. “I liked it when banks didn’t do investment banking…I think having a lot of investment bankers trying to get rich isn’t a good thing. I think bankers should be more like engineers, thinking about what could go wrong.”</p><h3>Abel Says He’ll Continue Buffett’s Approach to Share Buybacks</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s appointed successor as CEO, will continue to buy back stock when it appears cheap and the best use of the conglomerate’s cash.</p><p>Berkshire bought back $4.4 billion of stock in the first three months of 2023, up from $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>“Greg understands capital allocation as well as I do…and I expect he’ll make those decisions under the same framework that Charlie and I do,” Buffett said.</p><p>Buffett is all about intrinsic value, and seeks to buy back Berkshire stock when its price falls below that estimate. He has praised companies like Apple (AAPL) for using excess capital to repurchase shares. He has also criticized management teams for buying back their company’s stock at inflated prices in the past.</p><p>“When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll want to be an active purchaser of Berkshire shares,” Abel said. “It’s great for our shareholders to be able to own a larger share in all of Berkshire’s businesses.”</p><h3>Insurance Profits Are Up at Berkshire, But Jain Worries About a Florida Hurricane</h3><p>Pricing is strong and improving in catastrophe insurance after a tough decade and a half for the category, Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman in charge of insurance operations Ajit Jain said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday. Those are policies that insure homes and businesses against natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That has helped to drive better underwriting profits at Berkshire’s reinsurance businesses.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain warned that the company’s exposure was “unbalanced,” however, with particularly large concentration in Florida. Across all of Berkshire’s insurance operations, the conglomerate could see a loss of up to $15 billion if there’s a majorly destructive hurricane in Florida this year—if there isn’t, it could mean a profit of up to $7 billion, Jain estimated.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain said that the recently acquired insurer Alleghany, which Berkshire bought last year for about $11.6 billion, would continue doing business as it had before the deal.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We treat our operating units independent of each other,” Jain said. “Alleghany will keep doing what they’re doing and they’ve been very successful at it.”</p><h3>Berkshire Hathaway Is Taking Part In the Energy Transition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Greg Abel addressed the conglomerate’s efforts to boost its participation in renewable energy generation at the conglomerate’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“There’s no question there’s an energy transition going on,” said Abel, who oversees Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses, including Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He said the utility company is working to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in 2030 relative to 2005 levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Berkshire Hathaway Energy is investing in windmills and other clean energy generation, plus extending transmission lines to more renewable energy sources, which by their nature are more distributed than traditional power plants.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s a very, very good business opportunity for us,” Abel added.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett said that the United States’ approach to renewable energy is overly fragmented, with different rules and regulations state by state and no society-wide organized effort. He drew a comparison to the World War II-era coordination between the federal government and American businesses to reorient the nation’s industrial economy to support the war effort.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The capital is there, the people are there, the objective is obvious, we just don’t seem to be able to do it in peacetime,” Buffett said.</p><h3>Buffett and Munger Disagree on the Future of Value Investing</h3><p>Legendary value investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger see divergent paths for value investors in the coming years. The Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) managers were responding to shareholders’ questions at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished set of opportunities,” Munger said. “My advice to value investors is to get used to making less.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we’ve known each other,” Buffett said. The two first met over dinner in 1959.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett sees more opportunities than his long-time partner. “What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things,” he said. “...And there’s been a great increase in people doing dumb things.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The 92-year-old value investor noted that Berkshire’s current scale can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, with many potential opportunities too small to move the needle for the $719 billion conglomerate.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A long-term investing horizon is still key to realizing value in investing, Buffett said. “I’d love to be born today, start out with not too much money, and turn it into a lot of money,” he said. “I’m sure Charlie would too.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’d like my big pile [of money] to stay just the way it is,” Munger quipped, to laughs from the crowd.

The conglomerate’s operating profit after taxes was up almost 13% year over year, to $8.1 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett attributed the gain to a higher return on the company’s stock portfolio, better interest income on its cash holdings, and a higher insurance underwriting profit.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He continued with an overview of Berkshire’s balance sheet, noting that the company’s $504.5 billion in shareholders’ equity is more than any other American company. Berkshire’s insurance float—the difference between an insurance company’s cash collected from premiums and the claims it must pay out—stood at $165.1 billion at the end of the first quarter, while cash and Treasury bills were $127.7 billion. That’s a lot of ammo for potential acquisitions or interest income.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Berkshire bought back about 9,600 class A shares in the first quarter, worth about $4.4 billion.

Attendance was high at this year’s so-called “Woodstock for Capitalists,” after a relatively muted 2022 confab following two year of virtual meetings during the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>Berkshire’s first-quarter results were released earlier on Saturday morning, showing a 12.6% rise in operating profit, to $8.1 billion, and a faster pace of buybacks compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Berkshire Won’t Be Investing In Automakers, Buffett Says</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) isn’t likely to invest in shares of automakers like General Motors (GM) or Ford Motor (F), CEO Warren Buffett said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday.</p><p>“Charlie [Munger] and I have long felt that the auto business is just too tough,” Buffett said, adding an anecdote about Henry Ford’s challenges in the industry in the early 1900s.</p><p>Buffett said that there are too many global competitors for the automaking business to generate attractive returns. It’s also in the midst of a transition to electric vehicles, which imposes huge capital costs and risks in the near term before it becomes clear which companies will be successful and which won’t.</p><p>Berkshire prefers the auto dealership business, where it owns 78 dealerships across the U.S. Those generate more than $8 billion in annual revenue, making Berkshire among the largest dealership groups in the U.S.</p><h3>Buffett Says Berkshire Remains On the Hunt for an ‘Elephant-Sized’ Acquisition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) has nearly $130 billion in cash and Treasury bills on its balance sheet. There’s ongoing speculation about what the company might do with all that dry powder.</p><p>At Berkshire’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday, CEO Warren Buffett said that he would rather do a deal for a large company than sit on the cash, earning interest, but that it all depends on the prices available. Things are generally expensive these days.</p><p>“If we could buy a company for $15 billion, $75 billion, $100 billion, we could do it,” Buffett said. He noted that it’s more complex to buy a publicly traded company due to the longer timeline, shareholder vote, and other rules. But there just aren’t that many private companies of that scale available.</p><p>Buffett spoke about opportunities that emerged during the global financial crisis in 2008, including deals to buy shares in several troubled banks at attractive prices, and said that he expects Berkshire to get similar calls in the future.</p><p>“There’s no one else quite like us who can [do a deal] under the right circumstances,” Buffett said.</p><p>In the meantime, Berkshire is earning close to 5% on its T-bills. It has also been buying stock in recent years.</p><h3>Cash Is Not Trash, Buffett Says</h3><p>Buffett is watching currency in circulation, calling it &#34;one of the most interesting figures&#34; to consider and calling out those who previously said &#34;cash is trash&#34; back in 2007 and 2008.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;The Federal Reserve balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion and most of that&#39;s in $100 bills overwhelmingly. … I would really like to know where all of that is,&#34; he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;Anyone who thinks cash is trash ought to look at the Federal Reserve balance sheet,&#34; he added. &#34;It is just astounding the way $100 bills have spread. … Believe me, cash is not trash.&#34;</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett knocks down speculation Berkshire would take full control of Occidental</h3><p>Buffett said Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway won&#39;t take full control of Occidental Petroleum, the energy stock where it has amassed a stake above 20%.</p><p>&#34;There&#39;s speculation about us buying control, we&#39;re not going to buy control. … We wouldn&#39;t know what to do with it,&#34; he said.</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett says he’ll stick with Bank of America</h3><p>Buffett says he’s keeping his Bank of America holdings <em>— </em>but that he doesn’t know what’s in store.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We do remain with one bank holding ... , but we originated that deal, with Bank of America. I like Bank of America, I liked the management and I proposed the deal for them. So I stick with it,” said Buffett.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">He said that the recent crises in the banking sector have reaffirmed his belief that the American public and lawmakers fail to understand the banking sector.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“But do I know how to project out what’s going to happen from here? The answer is I don’t, because I’ve seen so many things in the last few months, which really weren’t that unexpected to me to see. But which reconfirmed my belief that the American public doesn’t understand our banking system.”</p><h3 style=\"text-align: start;\">It’s a joke to think of ‘tokens’ as the world’s reserve currency, Buffett says</h3><p>People may be losing faith in the dollar, but that doesn’t make it bitcoin’s moment to shine, Buffett said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Forget about all the toys – it’s a joke to think of any tokens, that’s madness,” when it comes to the reserve currency of the world, he said. “But it’s also madness to just keep printing money.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett was responding to a question about the current dedollarization trend and warned about the extent to which the U.S. has been printing money.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s easy for America to do a lot, but if we do too much it’s very hard to see how you recover once you’ve let the genie out of the bottle,” he said. “People lose faith in the currency and they behave in an entirely different manner than they do when they feel … they’re going to have something with roughly equal purchasing power. It changes the economy.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Munger criticized it more sharply, saying “at some point printing money to buy boats will become counterproductive.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Still, Buffett stood by the dollar: “We are the reserve currency, I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Bitcoin gained popularity among investors in 2021 because of its potential to act as an inflation hedge, after the U.S. printed trillions of dollars in Covid-19 stimulus. Many have let go of that narrative after bitcoin dropped more than 60% in 2022 amid persistently high inflation.</p><h3>Buffett Says Streaming Remains a Challenging Business, Sticks With Paramount</h3><p>CEO Warren Buffett addressed Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) investment in Paramount Global (PARA) at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The media company is in the midst of an expensive transition from legacy businesses in cable TV and movies to a streaming future.</p><p>Paramount shares dropped 28% on May 5 following a disastrous quarterly earnings report that included a large loss and a slash to the company’s dividend.</p><p>“It’s not good news when any company cuts its dividend dramatically,” Buffett said.</p><p>He noted that the streaming business remains challenging, with numerous competitors keeping prices low. It’s easy to cancel a streaming subscription and hop to a competing service.</p><p>“There are a bunch of companies who don’t want to quit,” Buffett said. “Who knows what will happen with pricing.”</p><p>Berkshire became the largest holder of Paramount stock last year, with a stake of around 15%. Shares are down by about half since Berkshire began buying in the first quarter of 2022.</p><h3>Buffett Faults Bank Risk Taking, Calls for More Active FDIC</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett sees excessive risk taking at banks as the root of the 2023 banking turmoil. He called for more conservative banking practices and better communication from regulators at Berkshire’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The situation in banking is what it always was,” Buffett said. “Fear is contagious. Sometimes the fear is justified, sometimes it isn’t.” Buffett recalled that his father, Howard Buffett, lost his job during a bank run in the Great Depression.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett praised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the greater stability of the banking system offered by the regulators’ deposit insurance, but said that it needed to better communicate with the American public to prevent further potential bank runs and potentially consider guaranteeing 100% of deposits until the current turmoil has passed. That’s especially relevant today, when digital banking makes deposits less “sticky,” he said.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett faulted management at First Republic Bank—which was shut down by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last month before its takeover by JPMorgan Chase (JPM)—for concentrating its balance sheet in low-yielding assets that lost value as interest rates rose over the past year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett placed signs reading “Available for Sale” and “Held-to-Maturity” on the table in front of him and Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, to laughs from the audience. Those are terms that refer to the accounting treatment of securities on a bank’s balance sheet.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’m old fashioned,” Munger said. “I liked it when banks didn’t do investment banking…I think having a lot of investment bankers trying to get rich isn’t a good thing. I think bankers should be more like engineers, thinking about what could go wrong.”</p><h3>Abel Says He’ll Continue Buffett’s Approach to Share Buybacks</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s appointed successor as CEO, will continue to buy back stock when it appears cheap and the best use of the conglomerate’s cash.</p><p>Berkshire bought back $4.4 billion of stock in the first three months of 2023, up from $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>“Greg understands capital allocation as well as I do…and I expect he’ll make those decisions under the same framework that Charlie and I do,” Buffett said.</p><p>Buffett is all about intrinsic value, and seeks to buy back Berkshire stock when its price falls below that estimate. He has praised companies like Apple (AAPL) for using excess capital to repurchase shares. He has also criticized management teams for buying back their company’s stock at inflated prices in the past.</p><p>“When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll want to be an active purchaser of Berkshire shares,” Abel said. “It’s great for our shareholders to be able to own a larger share in all of Berkshire’s businesses.”</p><h3>Insurance Profits Are Up at Berkshire, But Jain Worries About a Florida Hurricane</h3><p>Pricing is strong and improving in catastrophe insurance after a tough decade and a half for the category, Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman in charge of insurance operations Ajit Jain said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday. Those are policies that insure homes and businesses against natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That has helped to drive better underwriting profits at Berkshire’s reinsurance businesses.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain warned that the company’s exposure was “unbalanced,” however, with particularly large concentration in Florida. Across all of Berkshire’s insurance operations, the conglomerate could see a loss of up to $15 billion if there’s a majorly destructive hurricane in Florida this year—if there isn’t, it could mean a profit of up to $7 billion, Jain estimated.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Jain said that the recently acquired insurer Alleghany, which Berkshire bought last year for about $11.6 billion, would continue doing business as it had before the deal.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“We treat our operating units independent of each other,” Jain said. “Alleghany will keep doing what they’re doing and they’ve been very successful at it.”</p><h3>Berkshire Hathaway Is Taking Part In the Energy Transition</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Greg Abel addressed the conglomerate’s efforts to boost its participation in renewable energy generation at the conglomerate’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“There’s no question there’s an energy transition going on,” said Abel, who oversees Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses, including Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He said the utility company is working to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in 2030 relative to 2005 levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Berkshire Hathaway Energy is investing in windmills and other clean energy generation, plus extending transmission lines to more renewable energy sources, which by their nature are more distributed than traditional power plants.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“It’s a very, very good business opportunity for us,” Abel added.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett said that the United States’ approach to renewable energy is overly fragmented, with different rules and regulations state by state and no society-wide organized effort. He drew a comparison to the World War II-era coordination between the federal government and American businesses to reorient the nation’s industrial economy to support the war effort.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The capital is there, the people are there, the objective is obvious, we just don’t seem to be able to do it in peacetime,” Buffett said.</p><h3>Buffett and Munger Disagree on the Future of Value Investing</h3><p>Legendary value investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger see divergent paths for value investors in the coming years. The Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) managers were responding to shareholders’ questions at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished set of opportunities,” Munger said. “My advice to value investors is to get used to making less.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we’ve known each other,” Buffett said. The two first met over dinner in 1959.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Buffett sees more opportunities than his long-time partner. “What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things,” he said. “...And there’s been a great increase in people doing dumb things.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The 92-year-old value investor noted that Berkshire’s current scale can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, with many potential opportunities too small to move the needle for the $719 billion conglomerate.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A long-term investing horizon is still key to realizing value in investing, Buffett said. “I’d love to be born today, start out with not too much money, and turn it into a lot of money,” he said. “I’m sure Charlie would too.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“I’d like my big pile [of money] to stay just the way it is,” Munger quipped, to laughs from the crowd. He has a net worth of approximately $2.4 billion, according to Forbes.</p><h3>Buffett, 92, and Munger, 99 Aren’t Particularly Bullish on AI, Robotics</h3><p>A shareholder asked Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to share their thoughts on artificial intelligence and robotics and which businesses stood to be disrupted most. “I thank you for asking Charlie that question,” Buffett, 92, demurred.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Munger, 99, noted that he was impressed by the level of automation at BYD (ticker: BYDDY) factories in Asia. But, “I think regular old intelligence works just fine,” Munger added.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“There won’t be any AI that will replace Ajit [Jain, Berkshire vice chairman],” Buffett quipped. He went on to warn about the potential risks of AI technologies, drawing a parallel to the development of the atomic bomb.</p><h3>Buffett’s Vice Chairmen Discuss Berkshire’s Businesses</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett kicked a question about the company’s subsidiaries’ performance to his deputies.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Geico is coming off a strong first quarter, with an underwriting profit of $703 million, versus a loss of $178 million in the year-ago quarter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Ajit Jain, who oversees Berkshire’s insurance operations, said that Geico is working to close the gap with competitors on its employment of telematics, or usage-based insurance, which adjusts customers’ rates based on how they drive.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“Geico’s technology needs a lot more work than I thought it would,” Jain said, noting that the company uses more than 600 distinct tech platforms.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Greg Abel, who oversees non-insurance operations and is in line to succeed Buffett as CEO, spoke about BNSF. He said there was “more work to be done” on making the railroad more efficient and productive and that he was aware of most competitors moving to precision-scheduled railroading.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">2022 was a “reset” year for the business, Abel said, that will set it up for better long-term growth.</p><h3>Buffett Agrees With Regulators’ Decision to Protect Failing Bank Deposits</h3><p>The 2023 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting’s first question had to do with the past few months’ banking-industry turmoil.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">CEO Warren Buffett said that regulators made the right decision to intervene to protect depositors at banks including Silicon Valley Bank, which failed in March.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Had they not, “it would have been catastrophic,” Buffett said.</p><h3>Buffett Talks First-Quarter Results, Berkshire’s Balance Sheet, and Buybacks</h3><p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett ran through the company’s first-quarter results, which were released on Saturday morning.

It has also been buying stock in recent years.Cash Is Not Trash, Buffett SaysBuffett is watching currency in circulation, calling it \"one of the most interesting figures\" to consider and calling out those who previously said \"cash is trash\" back in 2007 and 2008.\"The Federal Reserve balance sheet has gone from $800 billion to $2.2 trillion and most of that's in $100 bills overwhelmingly. … I would really like to know where all of that is,\" he said.\"Anyone who thinks cash is trash ought to look at the Federal Reserve balance sheet,\" he added. \"It is just astounding the way $100 bills have spread. … Believe me, cash is not trash.\"Buffett knocks down speculation Berkshire would take full control of OccidentalBuffett said Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway won't take full control of Occidental Petroleum, the energy stock where it has amassed a stake above 20%.\"There's speculation about us buying control, we're not going to buy control. … We wouldn't know what to do with it,\" he said.Buffett says he’ll stick with Bank of AmericaBuffett says he’s keeping his Bank of America holdings — but that he doesn’t know what’s in store.“We do remain with one bank holding ... , but we originated that deal, with Bank of America. I like Bank of America, I liked the management and I proposed the deal for them. So I stick with it,” said Buffett.He said that the recent crises in the banking sector have reaffirmed his belief that the American public and lawmakers fail to understand the banking sector.“But do I know how to project out what’s going to happen from here? The answer is I don’t, because I’ve seen so many things in the last few months, which really weren’t that unexpected to me to see. But which reconfirmed my belief that the American public doesn’t understand our banking system.”It’s a joke to think of ‘tokens’ as the world’s reserve currency, Buffett saysPeople may be losing faith in the dollar, but that doesn’t make it bitcoin’s moment to shine, Buffett said.“Forget about all the toys – it’s a joke to think of any tokens, that’s madness,” when it comes to the reserve currency of the world, he said. “But it’s also madness to just keep printing money.”Buffett was responding to a question about the current dedollarization trend and warned about the extent to which the U.S. has been printing money.“It’s easy for America to do a lot, but if we do too much it’s very hard to see how you recover once you’ve let the genie out of the bottle,” he said. “People lose faith in the currency and they behave in an entirely different manner than they do when they feel … they’re going to have something with roughly equal purchasing power. It changes the economy.”Munger criticized it more sharply, saying “at some point printing money to buy boats will become counterproductive.”Still, Buffett stood by the dollar: “We are the reserve currency, I see no option for any other currency to be the reserve currency,” he said.Bitcoin gained popularity among investors in 2021 because of its potential to act as an inflation hedge, after the U.S. printed trillions of dollars in Covid-19 stimulus. Many have let go of that narrative after bitcoin dropped more than 60% in 2022 amid persistently high inflation.Buffett Says Streaming Remains a Challenging Business, Sticks With ParamountCEO Warren Buffett addressed Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) investment in Paramount Global (PARA) at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The media company is in the midst of an expensive transition from legacy businesses in cable TV and movies to a streaming future.Paramount shares dropped 28% on May 5 following a disastrous quarterly earnings report that included a large loss and a slash to the company’s dividend.“It’s not good news when any company cuts its dividend dramatically,” Buffett said.He noted that the streaming business remains challenging, with numerous competitors keeping prices low. It’s easy to cancel a streaming subscription and hop to a competing service.“There are a bunch of companies who don’t want to quit,” Buffett said. “Who knows what will happen with pricing.”Berkshire became the largest holder of Paramount stock last year, with a stake of around 15%. Shares are down by about half since Berkshire began buying in the first quarter of 2022.Buffett Faults Bank Risk Taking, Calls for More Active FDICBerkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett sees excessive risk taking at banks as the root of the 2023 banking turmoil. He called for more conservative banking practices and better communication from regulators at Berkshire’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting.“The situation in banking is what it always was,” Buffett said. “Fear is contagious. Sometimes the fear is justified, sometimes it isn’t.” Buffett recalled that his father, Howard Buffett, lost his job during a bank run in the Great Depression.Buffett praised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for the greater stability of the banking system offered by the regulators’ deposit insurance, but said that it needed to better communicate with the American public to prevent further potential bank runs and potentially consider guaranteeing 100% of deposits until the current turmoil has passed. That’s especially relevant today, when digital banking makes deposits less “sticky,” he said.Buffett faulted management at First Republic Bank—which was shut down by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last month before its takeover by JPMorgan Chase (JPM)—for concentrating its balance sheet in low-yielding assets that lost value as interest rates rose over the past year.Buffett placed signs reading “Available for Sale” and “Held-to-Maturity” on the table in front of him and Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s vice chairman, to laughs from the audience. Those are terms that refer to the accounting treatment of securities on a bank’s balance sheet.“I’m old fashioned,” Munger said. “I liked it when banks didn’t do investment banking…I think having a lot of investment bankers trying to get rich isn’t a good thing. I think bankers should be more like engineers, thinking about what could go wrong.”Abel Says He’ll Continue Buffett’s Approach to Share BuybacksBerkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s appointed successor as CEO, will continue to buy back stock when it appears cheap and the best use of the conglomerate’s cash.Berkshire bought back $4.4 billion of stock in the first three months of 2023, up from $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.“Greg understands capital allocation as well as I do…and I expect he’ll make those decisions under the same framework that Charlie and I do,” Buffett said.Buffett is all about intrinsic value, and seeks to buy back Berkshire stock when its price falls below that estimate. He has praised companies like Apple (AAPL) for using excess capital to repurchase shares. He has also criticized management teams for buying back their company’s stock at inflated prices in the past.“When the opportunity presents itself, we’ll want to be an active purchaser of Berkshire shares,” Abel said. “It’s great for our shareholders to be able to own a larger share in all of Berkshire’s businesses.”Insurance Profits Are Up at Berkshire, But Jain Worries About a Florida HurricanePricing is strong and improving in catastrophe insurance after a tough decade and a half for the category, Berkshire Hathaway’s (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) vice chairman in charge of insurance operations Ajit Jain said at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on Saturday. Those are policies that insure homes and businesses against natural disasters including earthquakes and hurricanes.That has helped to drive better underwriting profits at Berkshire’s reinsurance businesses.Jain warned that the company’s exposure was “unbalanced,” however, with particularly large concentration in Florida. Across all of Berkshire’s insurance operations, the conglomerate could see a loss of up to $15 billion if there’s a majorly destructive hurricane in Florida this year—if there isn’t, it could mean a profit of up to $7 billion, Jain estimated.Jain said that the recently acquired insurer Alleghany, which Berkshire bought last year for about $11.6 billion, would continue doing business as it had before the deal.“We treat our operating units independent of each other,” Jain said. “Alleghany will keep doing what they’re doing and they’ve been very successful at it.”Berkshire Hathaway Is Taking Part In the Energy TransitionBerkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairman Greg Abel addressed the conglomerate’s efforts to boost its participation in renewable energy generation at the conglomerate’s 2023 annual shareholders’ meeting in Omaha on Saturday.“There’s no question there’s an energy transition going on,” said Abel, who oversees Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses, including Berkshire Hathaway Energy. He said the utility company is working to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% in 2030 relative to 2005 levels.Berkshire Hathaway Energy is investing in windmills and other clean energy generation, plus extending transmission lines to more renewable energy sources, which by their nature are more distributed than traditional power plants.“It’s a very, very good business opportunity for us,” Abel added.Buffett said that the United States’ approach to renewable energy is overly fragmented, with different rules and regulations state by state and no society-wide organized effort. He drew a comparison to the World War II-era coordination between the federal government and American businesses to reorient the nation’s industrial economy to support the war effort.“The capital is there, the people are there, the objective is obvious, we just don’t seem to be able to do it in peacetime,” Buffett said.Buffett and Munger Disagree on the Future of Value InvestingLegendary value investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger see divergent paths for value investors in the coming years. The Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) managers were responding to shareholders’ questions at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha on Saturday.“I think value investors are going to have a harder time now that there are so many of them competing for a diminished set of opportunities,” Munger said. “My advice to value investors is to get used to making less.”“Charlie has been telling me the same thing the whole time we’ve known each other,” Buffett said. The two first met over dinner in 1959.Buffett sees more opportunities than his long-time partner. “What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things,” he said. “...And there’s been a great increase in people doing dumb things.”The 92-year-old value investor noted that Berkshire’s current scale can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, with many potential opportunities too small to move the needle for the $719 billion conglomerate.A long-term investing horizon is still key to realizing value in investing, Buffett said. “I’d love to be born today, start out with not too much money, and turn it into a lot of money,” he said. “I’m sure Charlie would too.”“I’d like my big pile [of money] to stay just the way it is,” Munger quipped, to laughs from the crowd. He has a net worth of approximately $2.4 billion, according to Forbes.Buffett, 92, and Munger, 99 Aren’t Particularly Bullish on AI, RoboticsA shareholder asked Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to share their thoughts on artificial intelligence and robotics and which businesses stood to be disrupted most. “I thank you for asking Charlie that question,” Buffett, 92, demurred.Munger, 99, noted that he was impressed by the level of automation at BYD (ticker: BYDDY) factories in Asia. But, “I think regular old intelligence works just fine,” Munger added.“There won’t be any AI that will replace Ajit [Jain, Berkshire vice chairman],” Buffett quipped. He went on to warn about the potential risks of AI technologies, drawing a parallel to the development of the atomic bomb.Buffett’s Vice Chairmen Discuss Berkshire’s BusinessesBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett kicked a question about the company’s subsidiaries’ performance to his deputies.Geico is coming off a strong first quarter, with an underwriting profit of $703 million, versus a loss of $178 million in the year-ago quarter.Ajit Jain, who oversees Berkshire’s insurance operations, said that Geico is working to close the gap with competitors on its employment of telematics, or usage-based insurance, which adjusts customers’ rates based on how they drive.“Geico’s technology needs a lot more work than I thought it would,” Jain said, noting that the company uses more than 600 distinct tech platforms.Greg Abel, who oversees non-insurance operations and is in line to succeed Buffett as CEO, spoke about BNSF. He said there was “more work to be done” on making the railroad more efficient and productive and that he was aware of most competitors moving to precision-scheduled railroading.2022 was a “reset” year for the business, Abel said, that will set it up for better long-term growth.Buffett Agrees With Regulators’ Decision to Protect Failing Bank DepositsThe 2023 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting’s first question had to do with the past few months’ banking-industry turmoil.CEO Warren Buffett said that regulators made the right decision to intervene to protect depositors at banks including Silicon Valley Bank, which failed in March.Had they not, “it would have been catastrophic,” Buffett said.Buffett Talks First-Quarter Results, Berkshire’s Balance Sheet, and BuybacksBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett ran through the company’s first-quarter results, which were released on Saturday morning. The conglomerate’s operating profit after taxes was up almost 13% year over year, to $8.1 billion.Buffett attributed the gain to a higher return on the company’s stock portfolio, better interest income on its cash holdings, and a higher insurance underwriting profit.He continued with an overview of Berkshire’s balance sheet, noting that the company’s $504.5 billion in shareholders’ equity is more than any other American company. Berkshire’s insurance float—the difference between an insurance company’s cash collected from premiums and the claims it must pay out—stood at $165.1 billion at the end of the first quarter, while cash and Treasury bills were $127.7 billion. That’s a lot of ammo for potential acquisitions or interest income.Berkshire bought back about 9,600 class A shares in the first quarter, worth about $4.4 billion. That was faster than the first-quarter pace of buybacks, but slower than Berkshire’s repurchases in 2020 and 2021.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BRK.A":0.9,"BRK.B":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3745,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9911462312,"gmtCreate":1664245559236,"gmtModify":1676537417624,"author":{"id":"4111809398482662","authorId":"4111809398482662","name":"Great Joy","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60d4182388f8b85c577b0310c872c28d","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4111809398482662","authorIdStr":"4111809398482662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9911462312","repostId":"2270268923","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2270268923","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":1664233294,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2270268923?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-27 07:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Ends Lower, Dow Confirms Bear Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2270268923","media":"Reuters","summary":"Fed rate hikes have investors 'throwing in the towel'Casinos jump as Macau allows tour groups after nearly 3 yearsIndexes: Dow -1.11%, S&P 500 -1.03%, Nasdaq -0.60%Sept 26  - Wall Street slid deeper into a bear market on Monday, with the S&P 500 and Dow closing lower as investors fretted that the Federal Reserve's aggressive campaign against inflation could throw the U.S. economy into a sharp downturn.After two weeks of mostly steady losses on the U.S. stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Aver","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Fed rate hikes have investors &#39;throwing in the towel&#39;</li><li>Casinos jump as Macau allows tour groups after nearly 3 years</li><li>Indexes: Dow -1.11%, S&amp;P 500 -1.03%, Nasdaq -0.60%</li></ul><p>Sept 26 (Reuters) - Wall Street slid deeper into a bear market on Monday, with the S&amp;P 500 and Dow closing lower as investors fretted that the Federal Reserve&#39;s aggressive campaign against inflation could throw the U.S. economy into a sharp downturn.</p><p>After two weeks of mostly steady losses on the U.S. stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average confirmed it has been in a bear market since early January.
