Earnings

Reporting is not the end of life. We need to look further.The reporting season for the second quarter begins this week. All investors will want to know about the state of companies and their economies. Earnings included in the SP500 are projected to decline by approximately 7.6% year-on-year. This will be the third consecutive quarter of decline and the largest decline in earnings reported by the broad-based index after a loss of approximately 32% in the second quarter of 2020. But investors will be watching even more closely to see what companies forecast for their financials and the economy as a whole. This will be more important than looking back on earnings results to determine whether this year's rally can continue and whether the economy is headed for a downturn. The S&P 500 is up about 16% for the year, driven by the artificial intelligence hype that propelled tech stocks to sky-high heights and an economy that has remained resilient despite the Federal Reserve's aggressive pace of interest rate hikes. The economy showed no signs of slowing down this year. Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic output, rose at an annualized rate of 2% in the first quarter, compared with a second estimate of 1.3% reported last month. Some investors say the strength of the economy could begin to wane as the Fed continues to raise interest rates and consumers draw on savings built up in the midst of the pandemic. Source: CNN

Everyone is worried about the prospects for inflation.This week, companies in the US will report on how much profit or loss they have made. Of course, most likely it will be about profit. And these data will tell the experts what dynamics of inflation is expected. Many experts are sure that the received profit is closely connected with the future indicators of inflation. Inflation is finally coming down. But consumer goods prices continue to rise, and just as fast. Earlier, the Fed chairman said that wage growth should slow down to reduce inflationary indicators. But at the same time, some experts point to another culprit: corporate profits. The International Monetary Fund also claims that half of inflation is due to corporate profits. This week will be published two major indicators of inflation in the US - the consumer price index on Wednesday and the producer price index on Thursday. Friday morning earnings reports for the second quarter start with reports from JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi and Blackrock. Source: CNN

Will Novavax NVAX go higher? SHORTNVAX popped today for a price jump of more than 20%. Canada agreed to pay out on a contract for COVID vaccines it now does not want in the amount of $350M. This is hardly enough to the fundamentals of the company overall. So the question arises, have traders and / or investors overreacted to a one time bonus which is essentially revenue without overhead and expense. My opinion is that this is an overreaction and that the price will drop after the pop hits a high. Buying long right now is essentially the risk of buying a high that will not go higher. On the Chris Moody dual RSI indicator, the longer one hour TM in black is over 75 while the shorter 5 minute TM in blue has peaked and dropped from 95 to 60. This is in essence bearish divergence. The other indicator, the mass index, shows the value arriving at the reversal zone where a drop to below 26.5 will be the trigger. Overall, for both fundamental and technical reasons, I will enter a short trade on NVAX expecting a correction / pullback from the pop the stock got after a one-time bonus of a payout for not producing unneeded vaccines.

APPLE ATH Fueled by Quintet PowerhousesHow did APPLE make a new ATH? In the fiscal year of 2022, Apple Inc. amassed a staggering revenue close to $400 billion. The tech behemoth’s financial forecast predicts an even more dazzling $450 billion by 2023. What’s at the nucleus of this financial prowess? Here’s a dissection of the five products and services that are the linchpins in Apple's revenue generation. 1. iPhone: The Standard-Bearer Since its inception in 2007, the iPhone has been the lodestar in Apple's stellar performance, consistently accounting for over half of the company’s revenue. There was a lull in the iPhone's sales during 2015-2020, but the fiscal years of 2021 and 2022 witnessed a robust resurgence. Could it be the worldwide lockdowns that reignited consumers' affinity for this beloved gadget? One wonders. Moreover, Apple's unceasing innovation has been a catalyst in this resurgence. The company has been adept at understanding and adapting to market trends, releasing newer models with advanced features such as enhanced camera capabilities, cutting-edge processors, and improved battery life. The introduction of 5G technology in the iPhone 12 and subsequent models further bolstered its appeal. With the ever-evolving landscape of consumer preferences, Apple's commitment to innovation ensures that the iPhone continues to hold its enviable position in the market. 2. Services: A Diverse Armamentarium Apple's services segment is a multi-pronged affair. The App Store and Apple Music are the twin pillars, but AppleCare, Apple Pay, Apple TV+, Apple Card, and iCloud storage are significant contributors as well. It's been an upward trajectory for this segment since 2013, with no signs of abating. Additionally, the expansion of Apple's services is emblematic of the company's strategic diversification. As the digital landscape evolves, Apple has astutely tapped into the growing demand for integrated services. Its focus on user privacy and seamless integration across devices has been a strong value proposition. For instance, Apple TV+ enters a competitive streaming market but with original content and collaborations with high-profile creators. Apple’s services segment not only supplements its revenue but also enhances customer retention and creates a more entrenched ecosystem, encouraging users to invest more within the Apple universe. 3. Mac: The Unwavering Pillar The allure of personal computers has attenuated globally, and Mac's revenue plateaued between 2011 and 2020. However, the Mac remains integral to Apple’s ecosystem, not least because of its role in keeping users within Apple's interconnected iOS operating system. In recent times, Apple has sought to reinvigorate the Mac lineup through innovation and integration. The introduction of Apple's own M1 chip, as opposed to relying on Intel's processors, marked a significant turning point. The M1 chip has been lauded for its performance and energy efficiency, giving the Mac a competitive edge. Furthermore, the seamless integration between the Mac and other Apple devices through features like Handoff, Universal Clipboard, and Sidecar has reinforced the appeal of owning a Mac as part of the larger Apple ecosystem. This ongoing revitalization suggests that Apple is far from considering the Mac as a legacy product, and is instead positioning it for a renewed period of relevance and growth. 4. iPad: Upon their debut, iPads were an instant sensation, raking in an impressive $19 billion in the first year. There was a zenith in 2014, after which sales experienced a decline. Currently, iPad sales hover in the range of $20-30 billion, cementing their place in Apple’s revenue mix. 5. Wearables & Accessories: The Rising Contenders Under this category, one finds an array of products including Beats headphones, AirPods, and the Apple Watch. This segment has been climbing the ladder of success since 2015. Notably, AirPods are estimated to constitute a quarter of the revenue in this category. Apple's foray into the wearables and accessories market is indicative of its visionary approach to emerging consumer trends. The health and fitness boom, for instance, has been adeptly capitalized on through the Apple Watch, which offers features like heart rate monitoring, exercise tracking, and ECG. AirPods, on the other hand, have become something of a cultural phenomenon, merging high-quality audio with sleek design. These products are not just revenue generators; they are an extension of Apple's ecosystem, promoting brand loyalty and customer engagement. By continuously innovating and expanding in this sector, Apple ensures it remains not just a heavyweight in consumer electronics but a trendsetter in lifestyle technologies. Conclusion: Apple's ascent to become the first company to reach $1 trillion and subsequently $2 trillion in market capitalization is hardly fortuitous. The aforementioned quintet of products and services is the bedrock of its supremacy. With consumers' unabated ardor for Apple’s innovations and the brand loyalty it commands, NASDAQ:AAPL remains a formidable player in the stock market. Is Apple part of your investment portfolio?

Honeywell Tries to Grind UpwardHoneywell has been dormant since March, but now some traders may think bulls are gaining traction in the industrial conglomerate. The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline along the highs of April and early June. HON ripped above that line two weeks ago and is now attempting to bounce at it. Old resistance may have become new support. Second, the stock jumped on April 26 after results beat estimates and management raised guidance. Will that lift the animal spirits into the next report in about a month? Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is rising toward the 200-day SMA. A “golden cross” to the upside could make some chart watchers view the longer-term trend more bullishly. Finally, short-term signals could also be positive: The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has been above the 21-day EMA for most of June and MACD has been rising.

$GRIMACE IS A NEW BIG ROCKETToday I will share with you one theory regarding the adoption of cryptocurrencies by large corporations and how McDonald's is moving towards the adoption of DOGE through the MEXC:GRIMACEUSDT coin invented by them. On January 25, 2022, Elon Musk tweeted the following: “I will eat a happy meal on tv if @McDonalds accepts Dogecoin” On 01/26/2022, the official @McDonald's account replied to @elonmusk tweet: “only if tesla accepts grimacecoin”. 06/06/2023 – the official twitter account of McDonald's announces Grimace’s Birthday. Would it be a coincidence if I said that Grimace's birthday and the listing of the token on MEHS were on the same date? July 12, 2023. McDonald's hasn't mentioned its character since 2018 before this day and now has launched a full-blown promotion? Okay, you'll say it's a typical memcoin created on a hype wave. And I'll say that the token was created in February 2023 and the development team didn't just create a sht. The coin was released with an 1,000,000 supply on the dogechain network. It had a capitalization of 13 mln (at the time of listing) and 12mln even before listing. Shitcoin? Okay, here are a couple more examples of why it's a gem: The team developed their swap tool the moment KibbleSwap stopped working and did it in 24 hours to ensure they could buy and sell tokens on the dogichain network for their users. The razrbochtik team created an earn-2-play game and has already paid out over $25,000 in 3 weeks The community is growing and rewards. More than 3 contests and 2 airdrops amounting to more than $150,000 were held in a month. The project has tokenomics, whitepapper and live twitter. The team has announced NFT, burning and steaming. Now take a look at the chart. In the support zone interest from buyers is not just from whitepappers who have been buying from the bottoms and made x1000, there is live buying going on in this range, which the market maker is holding back. Also, the team announced new listings, I am sure that on the tier1-2 exchange we will be able to break through the resistance of the phyb 0.362 and fly into the space.

AAPL likes these linesAAPL has been on an incredible tear. Investors have been dumping money into it over the past few months as its a "safe haven" with its walled garden and customer fanboys yada yada yada along with the Vision Pro hype. This is all conjecture intended to build a narrative. At the end of the day, unlike other tech mega caps, AAPL has not shown signs of revenue recovery or growth from a year ago. What AAPL has done, however, is recently crossed into the sell zone. Apple has grown 25% over the previous 14 weeks with the largest weekly decline in that timeframe being a whopping .6%. As you can see with the 2 pink lines, Apple just crossed over the first resistance line while having its all-time closing high. Given how saturated AAPL and the other megacaps are right now, the market can only go up in one of two ways: 1. Mega caps continue to grow even though many are already pushing extreme P/E multiples (Apple is over 30 now and don't give me any AI / Vision Pro / new ad business - those are narratives to get to a 30x P/E for a $2.8B company, not extend it) 2. Mega caps remain stable while small - mid caps grow Now, there certainly is enough dry powder to enable this second option. But it seems highly unlikely in my opinion. If I am a money manager looking at my returns now and what I expect over the next few years, I don't see a path for Apple adding another $1T in market cap in 3 years (thats only a 10% yoy return, or 5% above the risk-free rate!) when compared to smaller companies. I'm going to start to rotate out some of my well-earned money. This is an important week for the fed with the highest amount of disagreement in the bond market prior to a meeting in some time. I can see one of two scenario playing out for Apple: 1. Reasons that would cause aapl to drop to 160-165: CPI prints high (4.6+) Fed gives the middle finger to the market and raises rates, indicates that more hikes are definitely coming, etc. A general market rotation occurs that sees a profit-taking on mega caps Consumer spending shows (more) signs of slowing (if you're watching, lower economic groups already have increased rates of auto loan delinquencies and higher revolving credit - two typical canaries) More anti-competitiveness lawsuit news in Europe (I maintain that this year Apple will be hit with the news that it must both cut its take rate from 30 to 10%) 1. Apple goes up to 194-196, then goes down to 165-170, this happens if: CPI prints low (comes in as expected, 4.1) or lower None of the above, and it just melts up to 32x P/E until investors think its a good time to cash in the chipe

FLMD biotechology rising post earningsFLMD had earnings in May with positive earnings beating the expectation of analysts that it would continue to lose quarter after quarter. Investors and traders have reacted with a 80% run-up in the month after those earnings. On the 30-minute chart besides the consistent uptrend with minor corrections, what stands out for me is the increasing volumes relative to volumes before the last earnings report. Off the chart, I find information that insider trading with buying more shares on top of existing holdings leads me to believe that this company expects increasing revenues and sustained earnings.

Harvesting Alpha with Beta HedgingImagine this. Dark skies, earth tremors and thunder roars. Shelter is top priority. Size matters in a crisis. When the tsunami strikes and lightning splits the sky, investors shudder in fear; But the super seven stand tall, shielding investors from the fury. Dramatic metaphors aside, we truly live in unprecedented times. Risk lurks everywhere. List is endless. Unstable geopolitics. Sticky inflation. Recession expectations. Unprecedented deepening of yield curve inversion. Unfinished regional banking crisis. Weak manufacturing. Tightening financial conditions. Extremely divisive global politics, to just name a few. Despite severe headwinds, US equity markets are roaring. YTD, S&P is up +15% and Nasdaq is up +32%. At the start of 2023, the consensus was for US equities to be in doldrums dragged down by recession. Halfway through the year, markets are at the cusp of one of the best first half for US equity markets in twenty years. This is among the narrowest and top-heavy rally ever. Only a sliver of stocks - precisely seven of them - defines this optimism. This paper will refer to these as the Super Sevens. These are the biggest members of the S&P 500 index. Super Sevens are Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. This paper argues that the Super Sevens will deliver above market returns in the short term as investors seek safe haven from a vast array of macro risks. The paper articulates a case study to demonstrate the use of beta hedging to extract alpha from holding long positions in Super Sevens and hedging them against sharp reversals using CME Micro E-Mini S&P 500 index futures ("CME Micro S&P 500 Futures"). THE RISE AND RISE OF SUPER SEVENS Super Sevens have an outsized impact as S&P 500 is a market weighted index. Merely five of these seven form 25% of the S&P 500 market capitalisation. At $2.9 trillion in market capitalisation, Apple is greater than all of UK’s top 100 listed companies put together. If that were not enough, Apple's market capitalisation alone is greater than the aggregate market capitalisation of all the firms in the Russell 2000 index. Nvidia has been soaring on hopes of AI driven productivity gains. On blow out revenue guidance, it has rallied $640 billion in market cap YTD. That increment alone is larger than the combined market cap of JP Morgan & Bank of America the two largest banks in the US. The heatmap summarises analyst targets & technical signals on pathway for prices ahead: In part 2 of this paper, Mint will cover the detailed analyst price forecasts, technical signals and summary narratives covering value drives and intrinsic risk factors. WHAT DRIVES INVESTOR CONCENTRATION INTO THE SUPER SEVENS? As reported in the Financial Times last week, two broad market trends appear to have fed into this investor concentration. First, Passive investing. When funds merely deliver the performance of an index by replicating its composition, the higher the index weights, the more these passive funds buy into these names. Second, ESG investing. Rising push towards ESG has forced investment into tech and away from carbon-heavy sectors such as energy. Collectively, this has resulted in all types of investors – active, passive, momentum, ESG- all going after the same names. Question is, what happens now? Will the broader market catch up with the Super Sevens? Or will the Super Sevens suffer a sharp pullback? That depends on the broader US economy. Will it have a hard landing, soft landing, or no landing at all? Given market expectations of (a) resilient earnings capacity, and (b) solid growth potential among Super Sevens, we expect that in the near to mid-term the Super Sevens will continue to outperform the broader market. In ordinary times, investors could have simply established long positions in Super Sevens and wait to reap their harvests. However, we live in unprecedented times. WE LIVE IN TRULY UNPRECEDENTED TIMES Risks abound but no signs of it in equity markets. Historically, geopolitical instability, tightening financial conditions, and a deeply inverted curve could have led to crushing returns in the US equity markets. Not this time though. Peak concentration As mentioned earlier, bullishness in equity markets can be vastly attributed to just the Super Sevens. These seven have delivered crushing returns rising between 40% and 192% YTD. The S&P 500 index is market cap weighted. Super Sevens represent the largest companies in the index by market cap and their stellar performance has an outsized impact on the index. Is this a bull run or a bear market clouded by over optimism among Super Sevens? Deeply inverted yield curve In simple words, it costs far more to borrow for the near term (2 year) relative to the borrowing for long term (10-year). The US Treasury yield curves have been inverted for more than a year now. The difference between the 2-Year and 10-Year treasuries is at its widest level since the early 1980s. Inversion in yield curve has historically been a credible signal of recession ahead. When bonds with near term duration yield higher rates than those with longer-dated expiries, this precedes trouble in the economy. Recession. What recession? This period might go into the record books for the most long-awaited recession that is yet to come. For the last 12 months, experts have been calling for recession to show up in 3 months. While manufacturing sector seems feeble, labour market remains solid. Corporate balance sheets are robust. Consumer finances and consumer confidence are in good health. The VIX remains sanguine while the only fear indicator that appears unsettled is the MOVE index which indicates volatility in the bond markets. After having spiked earlier in the year, the MOVE is starting to soften as well. BETA HEDGING FOR PURE ALPHA In times of turbulence, risk management is not an afterthought but a necessity. Hedge delivers the edge. When there are ample arguments to be made for bullish and bearish markets, taking a directional position can be precarious. This paper posits Super Sevens holdings be hedged with CME Micro S&P 500 Futures. Hedging single stocks is nuanced. The stocks and the index do not always move in tandem. A given stock may be more volatile or less volatile relative to the benchmark. Beta is the sensitivity of the stock price relative to a benchmark. Beta is computed from daily returns over a defined historical period. Stocks with high Beta move a lot more than the underlying index. Stocks that move narrowly relative to its underlying benchmark exhibits low Beta. Beta hedging involves adjusting the notional value of a stock price based on its beta. Using beta-adjusted notional, hedging then involves taking an offsetting position in an index derivative contract to match the notional value. TradingView publishes beta values computed based on daily returns over the last 12 months. The following table illustrates the beta-adjusted notional for the Super Sevens based on the last traded prices as of close of market on June 16th. Beta hedging using CME Micro S&P 500 Futures enables investors to precisely scale their portfolio exposures to the index. A small contract size enables investors to manage risks with finer granularity. CME allows conversion of micro futures into a classic E-mini futures position, and vice versa. Round the clock liquidity combined with tight spreads and sizeable open interest across the two front contract months, investors can enter and exit the market at ease. BETA-HEDGED TRADE SET UP In unprecedented times like today, markets may continue to rally or come crashing. To harness pure alpha, this paper posits a spread with long positions in Super Sevens hedged by a short position in CME Micro S&P 500 Futures expiring in September 2023. This trade set-up gains when (a) Super Sevens rise faster than the S&P 500, or (b) Super Sevens suffers drop in value but falls lesser relative to S&P 500, or (c) Super Sevens gain while S&P 500 falls. This trade setup loses when (a) Super Seven falls faster than S&P 500, or (b) S&P 500 rises faster than Super Seven, or (c) S&P 500 rises while Super Sevens pullback Each CME Micro S&P 500 Futures has a multiplier of USD 5. The September contract settled on June 16th at 4453.75 implying a notional value of USD 22,269 (4453.75 * USD 5). Effective beta hedge requires that notional of the hedging trade is equivalent to the beta-adjusted notional value of single stock. Given the beta-adjusted notional value of USD 2,561 for single shares in Super Sevens and the notional value for each lot of CME Micro S&P 500 Futures at USD 22,269, the spread trade requires: a. A long position in 26 shares each across all the Super Sevens translating to a beta-adjusted notional of USD 66,576. b. Hedged by a short position with 3 lots of CME Micro S&P 500 Futures which provides a notional exposure of USD 66,807.

$PINC Punished for Lack of Working Capital?Premier health seems to be flashing some hands off signals at the moment.Based on an analysis of earnings against potential growth, fair value for NASDAQ:PINC would be around $40.38, but the stock is trading 54% below that target. They are even trading below the average analyst target of $33.40. These are signs that something is weighing on the market value of the firm. Potential Issues for Investors Include: 1. Cash to Equity at 4%: This suggests that the company has an insufficient amount of cash to fuel growth and handle liabilities. I would direct investor attention to the company's negative working capital and 20% drop in operating cash flows. 2. Shareholder Dilution: Premier seems to be constantly issuing new shares, which negates any market value that could be had from an increase in earnings. 3. Net Cash Negative: Total debt held by the company is down trailing 12 months, but still leaves the company with -$3.31 net cash per share over that same time period. Key Point: The company is over leveraged amidst tight financial conditions and margins in the healthcare space are dropping like a hot rock. This draws concern as the company has been working with negative working capital for 5 straight years. To mention a few bright spots, the company generating $84 in free cash flow for every $100 in earnings and seems to at least over the past 12 months be looking to reduce their debt. The company is projected to see earnings growth of 5.6% over the next 5 years, but is priced for no growth. Investors who look at this as a mispricing and buy today could see a push toward our forward looking valuations. This could yield as much as a 55% increase in the stock price. On the other hand the key question would be; can the company survive long enough to fix the problems? Investors who believe they will survive can look at this as a reasonable opportunity to buy ahead of any capital appreciation. Earnings are steady over the long term with over 4,400 member hospitals in their circle which should keep the money coming in. Worst case scenario, they become an acquisition target down the line, but in the mean time, I the market is sending signals that hands off is the policy. No growth value is definitely an enticing price point, but maybe a look at next quarter's earnings could provide more insight on the company's direction. PINC faces increased competition from other healthcare improvement companies, such as Optum and UnitedHealth Group. These companies are investing heavily in new technologies and solutions, which could put pressure on PINC's margins. PINC also faces a number of regulatory challenges, such as the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the rising cost of healthcare. These challenges could make it difficult for PINC to grow its business and maintain its profitability. Income and cash flows have taken a step down in 2023. Cash flows are projected to continue to decline in 2024 and return to growth in 2025.

Tesla will save us from fossil fuel dependencythe title says everything you need to know. without tesla the auto industry would of pushed fossil fueled engined until the supply was gone "crippling the economies reliance". right now we are seeing the aftermath of the covid epidemic and its pressure on us still after 3 years. supply chains have been disrupted globally and now fuel supply shortages are happening right now. there is a massive agricultural demand coming and the supply won't be there to meet the demand. these companies responsible for supply chains need to wake up to whats going on and change for everyone. the profits will come later. right now is the best time to say F it and restructure. Tesla should prepare for HIGH Demand that will innevitably come in 2023. Fuel supply shortage has a massive effect on the global supply chain. War has lasting effects for decades. Food supply shortages causes hunger and labor shortages. Transition or watch supply chains stop. We could be seeing the early days of another global crisis. Tesla is the catylst to fix global supply issues forever. Reliance on fossil fuels would be basically 0. Tesla stock will struggle some until 2023. Watch the fuel markets. When oil starts tanking wait for the recovery and start buying tesla shares. gas prices will skyrocket after oil tanks. could be 10.00 per gallon before EOY 2023
