Evergrande needs to reassure the market that it has ample ammunition to make good on its borrowings while also countering short-sellers.</p>\n<p>The last time Evergrande rewarded shareholders with a special dividend, in 2018, its earnings were soaring though bearish bets abounded then too. It has since seen annual profit drops for 2019 and 2020, with total liabilities swelling to $301 billion.</p>\n<p>“Evergrande may be using the dividend plan to emphasize the stability of its cash flow and profitability, especially after the recent debt pressure,” said Yan Yuejin, research director at Shanghai-based E-house China Research and Development Institute.</p>\n<p>Evergrande’s shares fell as much as 7.2% in Hong Kong. The developer’s 8.75% bond due 2025, one of the firm’s most widely traded dollar notes, continued to drop 1 cent on the dollar to 52.2 cents.</p>\n<p>Analysts reckon Evergrande will take one of three routes: a cash dividend, a stock dividend or handing out shares in its higher-value listed subsidiaries.</p>\n<p>Cash dividend</p>\n<p>A cash dividend would be controversial given its share holding pattern and the dire need to pay down debt.

Evergrande needs to reassure the market that it has ample ammunition to make good on its borrowings while also countering short-sellers.\nThe last time Evergrande rewarded shareholders with a special dividend, in 2018, its earnings were soaring though bearish bets abounded then too. It has since seen annual profit drops for 2019 and 2020, with total liabilities swelling to $301 billion.\n“Evergrande may be using the dividend plan to emphasize the stability of its cash flow and profitability, especially after the recent debt pressure,” said Yan Yuejin, research director at Shanghai-based E-house China Research and Development Institute.\nEvergrande’s shares fell as much as 7.2% in Hong Kong. The developer’s 8.75% bond due 2025, one of the firm’s most widely traded dollar notes, continued to drop 1 cent on the dollar to 52.2 cents.\nAnalysts reckon Evergrande will take one of three routes: a cash dividend, a stock dividend or handing out shares in its higher-value listed subsidiaries.\nCash dividend\nA cash dividend would be controversial given its share holding pattern and the dire need to pay down debt. Even so, Evergrande could justify it by pointing to a first half of record sales and cash inflows.\nApart from Hui, who owns almost 77% of the outstanding stock through companies controlled either by him or his wife, others who stand to benefit include billionaire Joseph Lau. Hui and Lau, a long-time supporter whose wife holds 8.9% of the company, are both part of the “Big Two Club” of tycoons who play the poker game of the same name.\n“Paying a large special dividend is effectively a way of recycling capital back to the two main shareholders,” said Travis Lundy, a special situations analyst who publishes on Smartkarma. “They may use the funds to buy more of what Evergrande spins out.”\nHui can’t use too much of the cash to prop up Evergrande’s share price. The developer’s free float is approaching the 22.04% minimum required by the Hong Kong stock exchange. It has though been weighing listings of its tourism and bottled water businesses, according to people familiar with the matter.\nStock dividend\nOthers expect Evergrande to hand out shares from its main listed entity in Hong Kong. While this may benefit long-term investors, a dividend comprised of stocks could end up driving shares lower in the near-term, adding to a 31% collapse in the past month.\n“I am more leaning toward equity distribution given the tight liquidity,” said Eddie Chia, a portfolio manager at China Life Franklin.\nThe third option -- and potentially the one the market would favor -- is giving away shares of Evergrande’s subsidiaries.

The e-commerce mammoth's stock is the only one of the three underperforming the S&P 500, which has returned 18.4% so far this year.\nHere's what Wall Street is expecting in Alphabet's report:\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ2 2020 Result\nWall Street's Q2 2021 Consensus Estimate\nWall Street's Projected Change\n\n\nRevenue\n$38.3 billion\n$56.0 billion\n46%\n\n\nEarnings per share (EPS)\n$10.13\n$19.21\n90%\n\n\n\nData sources: Alphabet and Yahoo! Finance.\nAs to Alphabet's low-bar comparable, in the the year-ago period, its revenue edged down 2% and its EPS dropped 29% year over year.\nFor context, in the first quarter, Alphabet's revenue jumped 34% year over year to $55.3 billion. EPS rocketed 166% to $26.29, crushing the $15.82 Wall Street was expecting.\nData by YCharts.\nFacebook: Wednesday (earnings call at 5 p.m. EDT)\nHere's what the Street is expecting from the social-networking behemoth:\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ2 2020 Result\nWall Street's Q2 2021 Consensus Estimate\nWall Street's Projected Change\n\n\nRevenue\n$18.7 billion\n$27.8 billion\n49%\n\n\nEarnings per share (EPS)\n$1.80\n$3.02\n68%\n\n\n\nData sources: Facebook and Yahoo! Finance.\nFacebook didn't issue specific guidance, but CFO Dave Wehner said in last quarter's release that management expects Q2's \"year-over-year total revenue growth to remain stable or modestly accelerate relative to the growth rate in the first quarter of 2021 [48%] as we lap slower growth related to the pandemic during the second quarter of 2020.\"\nIn the first quarter, Facebook's revenue soared 48% year over year to $26.2 billion. Growth was driven by a 30% year-over-year jump in the average price per ad and a 12% increase in the number of ads delivered. The number of daily and monthly active users rose 8% and 10%, respectively, year over year. EPS surged 93% to $3.30, speeding by the analyst consensus estimate of $2.37.\nAmazon: Thursday (earnings call at 5:30 p.m. EDT)\nHere are numbers to use as benchmarks.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ2 2020 Result\nAmazon's Q2 2021 Guidance\nAmazon's Projected Change\nWall Street's Q2 2021 Consensus Estimate\nWall Street's Projected Change\n\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$88.9 billion\n$110 billion to $116 billion\n24% to 30%\n$115.1 billion\n29%\n\n\nEarnings per share (EPS)\n$10.30\nN/A\nN/A\n$12.22\n19%\n\n\n\nData sources: Amazon and Yahoo! Finance. Note: Amazon does not provide earnings guidance.\nWhile Amazon doesn't provide earnings guidance, it does issue an operating income outlook. For Q2, management guided for operating income to range from $4.5 billion to $8 billion. This range represents operating income declining by as much as 22% to rising by as much as 38% year over year.\nThe company's Q2 revenue will include sales from its big annual Prime Day event, held in June this year. Last year, this event took place in the fourth quarter, while it's traditionally been in the third quarter.\nIn the first quarter, Amazon's revenue surged 44% year over year to $108.5 billion, beating the $104.5 billion analysts had expected. EPS skyrocketed 215% to $15.79, demolishing the consensus estimate of $9.54.\nAgain, Facebook reports on Tuesday, Alphabet on Wednesday, and Amazon on Thursday, all after the closing bell.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":237,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800925299,"gmtCreate":1627273382511,"gmtModify":1703486486269,"author":{"id":"3574575249821339","authorId":"3574575249821339","name":"Benleeww","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574575249821339","authorIdStr":"3574575249821339"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800925299","repostId":"1160452943","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160452943","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627271445,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160452943?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-26 11:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks To Watch In The Coming Week: Tesla, Apple, Microsoft","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160452943","media":"investing.com","summary":"With some of the largest U.S. companies reporting their quarterly earnings in the upcoming week, inv","content":"<p>With some of the largest U.S. companies reporting their quarterly earnings in the upcoming week, investor focus will likely be squarely on corporate America and the financial health of its most high profile corporations.</p>\n<p>During the five-day period ahead, about a third of&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;companies are scheduled to release their most recent numbers along with their outlook forecasts for the remainder of this year, including such tech giants as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon.com</a> and industrial names, such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BA\">Boeing</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAT\">Caterpillar</a>.</p>\n<p>About 87% of S&amp;P 500 companies that reported results so far this season have beaten Wall Street estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, with investors betting a robust economic recovery will continue fueling corporate America—notwithstanding the threat of higher inflation.</p>\n<p>During this crucial week for the Q2 earnings season, we will be focusing on three key tech mega caps whose earnings could help clarify whether they are still benefiting from the pandemic-driven demand surge that pushed their shares to record high prices in recent months:</p>\n<p><b>1.
