Fun, Digestible, Not Boring Investment Research

📉📈🚀 The S&P 500’s worst drop in six months on Monday is an opportunity to buy stocks as the global economic recovery is poised to pick up momentum, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) strategists led by Marko Kolanovic. “The market sell-off that escalated overnight we believe is primarily driven by technical selling flows (CTAs and option hedgers) in an environment of poor liquidity, and overreaction of discretionary traders to perceived risks,” the strategists wrote in a client note. “Our fundamental thesis remains unchanged, and we see the sell-off as an opportunity to buy the dip.” Stocks sold off Monday as angst grew over China’s real-estate sector and Federal Reserve tapering. The S&P 500 dropped as much as 2.5% for the biggest decline since March, extending its loss from a Sept. 2 peak to almost 5%. As the benchmark undercut its 50-day average for a second day in a row, failing to rebound from a reliable support that had been in place for the whole year, computer-driven traders like commodity trading advisers, or CTAs, stepped up selling. Volatility-targeted funds that allocate assets depending on price swings may be forced to sell as much as $40 billion of assets, warned Nomura Securities strategist Charlie McElligott. Kolanovic reiterated the firm’s bullish stance on equities, noting the team last week upgraded the S&P 500’s year-end target by 100 points to 4,700 amid a subsiding wave of delta virus cases and better-than-expected earnings. 🗞🚀 Join the Millioner Investor Club 👉 4 digestible, not boring investing newsletters every week with stock picks, stocks to avoid & more exclusive investment content.

🧑‍💻📉😣Megacap technology stocks were pummeled on Monday, adding to a recent slump that is evoking September 2020, when the Nasdaq 100 Stock Index tumbled nearly 13% over a three-week span. The five biggest U.S. technology companies -- Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), Facebook Inc. (FB), Google-parent Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL)and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) -- have shed more than $500 billion since the Nasdaq 100 peaked on Sept. 7. Amazon.com led the declines in the group on Monday, falling as much as 4.6% before paring the drop and closing down 3.1%. Facebook sank as much as 4.1% before closing with a 2.5% loss, deeper than the 1.7% decline for the S&P 500 Index. The one-day slump for both tech giants was the worst in nearly two months. While the pain in U.S. stock markets on Monday was broad based amid speculation over the fallout of China’s real-estate industry slowdown, it was particularly acute for the so-called megacap tech companies that have a disproportionate influence on the S&P 500 due to their market values. To some like Ross Gerber, chief executive of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, this selloff may be a good chance to buy the dip. 🗞🚀 Join the Millioner Investor Club 👉 4 digestible, not boring investing newsletters every week with stock picks, stocks to avoid & more exclusive investment content.

🥪 💳 🍽Toast Inc is aiming for a valuation of up to $18 billion after raising the price range for its initial public offering in the U.S., as the restaurant-software maker looks to cash in on a record boom in capital markets this year. Toast, founded in 2011, offers a software platform that allows restaurants to keep up with the fast-changing needs of their business, including managing online orders, operating an on-demand delivery network and integrating payments. The company said it was now looking to sell nearly 21.7 million shares priced between $34 and $36 each, according to a regulatory filing on Monday. It had earlier aimed to price the shares between $30 and $33 each. At the top end of the new range, Boston-based Toast would raise up to $782.6 million in its IPO. As of June 30, the company has partnered with nearly 48,000 restaurant locations and has processed more than $38 billion in gross payment volume over the past 12 months, the filing showed. Toast was forced to cut its workforce by half in the early days of the pandemic. It has shifted focus to products such as delivery networks and contactless payments on strong demand for such services last year. Toast will list its stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "TOST". 🗞🚀 Join the Millioner Investor Club 👉 4 digestible, not boring investing newsletters every week with stock picks, stocks to avoid & more exclusive investment content.

🏛🥊🇨🇳 China's top securities regulator defended their crackdown on various industries in a private meeting with Wall Street executives. Investors' concerns over the regulatory crackdown has led to sharp sell-offs on China's share markets, reducing the market capitalisation of some of its largest companies including Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA). China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) Vice Chairman Fang Xinghai explained during the meeting that recent actions were taken to strengthen regulations for companies with consumer-facing platforms, and improve data privacy and national security. The three-hour meeting of the China-U.S. Financial Roundtable on Thursday included the head of the People's Bank of China, and executives from Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS), Citadel and other Wall Street powerhouses, Bloomberg reported. Global investors have been spooked in recent months by a flurry of Chinese regulations targeting sectors ranging from technology, gaming and private tutoring. Fang said the regulator's actions in the education and gaming sectors were aimed at reducing anxiety in society, according to the report. 🗞🚀 Join the Millioner Investor Club 👉 4 digestible, not boring investing newsletters every week with stock picks, stocks to avoid & more exclusive investment content.

💸 💳 🚀Shares of DLocal rallied over the past month after strong second-quarter earnings. DLocal is an online-payments services provider that focuses on emerging markets. DLocal smashed analysts' Q2 2021 revenue estimates of $40.5 million and reported $59 million on the top line. The company surpassed analysts' earnings-per-share expectations of $0.05 as well, though not as dramatically, posting diluted EPS of $0.057. The company also expanded its global reach last quarter and added three countries to its network: Vietnam, Malaysia, and Guatemala. As a result, DLocal now provides its online payment services to customers in 30 countries. Additionally, DLocal added more than 10 new merchants in the previous quarter. Further illustrating the company's growth, DLocal reported that its total payment volume reached $1.5 billion in the previously completed quarter, representing a year-over-year increase of 319% and a 57% increase over the first quarter of 2021. According to management, the company's growth is largely attributable to the ride-hailing and travel industries rebounding from the falloffs they experienced in Q2 2020 due to the pandemic. 🗞🚀 Join the Millioner Investor Club 👉 4 digestible, not boring investing newsletters every week with stock picks, stocks to avoid & more exclusive investment content.

🐱🧑‍💻🏛 Software development startup GitLab Inc. has filed for an initial public offering, disclosing mounting revenue and losses. GitLab, which helps software developers share and manage code, was valued at $6 billion after a private, secondary share sale by an investor in January, according to data provider PitchBook. The company had a net loss of $69 million on revenue of $108 million for the six months ending July 31, according to the filing. That compared with a $44 million loss on $64 million in revenue for the same period the previous year. Though incorporated in Delaware in 2014, GitLab operates as a remote-only company and doesn’t have a corporate office, according to its filing. Its 1,350 team members are located in more than 65 countries. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sytse “Sid” Sijbrandij is listed as the largest holder of the company’s Class B shares, which will have 10 votes each compared with one vote apiece for the Class A shares sold in the IPO. Outside investors with stakes of 5% or more include funds and affiliates of August Capital, Alphabet Inc.’s GV, Iconiq Capital and Khosla Ventures.

🏦🤖🚀Shares of fintech nCino rallied over the last month as the company’s second quarter earnings beat estimates. nCino reported second-quarter sales of $66.5 million, up 36% from a year ago and topping its previous outlook for revenue as high as $64 million. Through the first half of the current fiscal year, free cash flow was a positive $19.6 million. That was down from the $29 million generated during the same time frame last year, but this is a growing business that's funneling excess cash back into sales and marketing efforts. Even so, it's an efficient operation. Free cash flow profit margin was 15% during the first half of this year.   As for the outlook, nCino upped full-year revenue expectations to a range of $263 million to $264 million (it was $258 million to $260 million previously). Based on this forecast, the stock now trades for nearly 27 times expected full-year sales.   During the last quarter, a new commercial banking deal was inked with Wells Fargo (WFC), a relationship with U.S. Bank was expanded to help with its wholesale bank lending division, and nCino made its entrance into France partnering with a top institution there.   The steep price tag on the stock means volatility will remain a constant for now, but it is at least proving it's far more than a one-off pandemic winner. 🚀🗞 NCNO was one of the first stock picks in our investing newsletter.

🏦⚔️👩🏻‍💼 Goldman Sachs (GS) is taking on Cathie Wood in the market for innovation-focused exchange-traded funds. On Thursday, Goldman Sachs Asset Management haunveiled Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity, an actively managed fund investing in tech companies with market capitalizations of less than $100 billion. The fund is trading on the NYSE under the ticker GTEK. In a call with reporters, portfolio managers Sung Cho and Brook Dane noted that the fund is a version of a strategy that Goldman has used outside the U.S., with about $5 billion under management. They said that investors should diversify their tech holdings from the five mega-caps that now make up about a quarter of the S&P 500— Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) , Amazon.com (AMZN), Facebook (FB), and Microsoft (MSFT). The new fund resembles Wood’s ARK ETFs, in particular, ARK Innovation, which has some $25 billion in assets. But there are differences. Goldman targets small- and mid-cap stocks, which would rule out some ARK names, notably Tesla . Goldman also has nearly half its holdings in non-U.S. companies, with 25% to 35% in emerging markets. The fund will target cloud computing, online entertainment, semiconductors, and fintech. 🗞🚀 Join the Millioner Investor Club 👉 stock picks, stocks to avoid & more exclusive investment content.
