However, the stock has drifted lower since then amid broader pressure on the tech sector.According to most conventional metrics, Alphabet stock does look cheap. Its price-to-earnings ratio is roughly 19, and analysts expect solid growth from the company both this year and next, seeing earnings per share increasing to $5.09 in 2023, then jumping by 20% next year to $6.11. That means the stock is trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of 15 based on next year's expected earnings. The stock is even cheaper when you back out the $114 billion in cash and equivalents the company has on its balance sheet.However, Alphabet stock is still up nearly 10% from its recent low last November, showing that shares were already cheap even before ChatGPT came on the scene. The reason has to do more with the future of its advertising business, and there are two significant challenges facing the company that have nothing to do with ChatGPT.A cyclical headwindAlphabet's revenue growth has slowed significantly as advertising demand has slackened. The Google parent isn't the only ad platform experiencing these headwinds -- peers like Meta Platforms, Roku, and Snap have all reported weak revenue growth.At Alphabet, revenue rose just 1% in the fourth quarter, or 7% in currency-neutral terms, and revenue from its advertising business fell 3.6%. Advertising is notoriously cyclical, but it's unclear when demand will bounce back as the Federal Reserve continues to raise benchmark interest rates, and some economists are predicting that a recession will hit in the second half of the year.In other words, Alphabet's revenue growth could be sluggish for at least the rest of the year and into 2024, though analysts seem to think revenue growth will reaccelerate as soon as the second quarter of 2023. However, Wall Street has consistently overestimated the company's performance over the last year; Alphabet has missed earnings estimates in each of its last four quarters.A maturing ad marketThe longer-term challenge facing Alphabet is that the digital ad market is starting to mature. Digital ad spending now makes up the majority of advertising spending in the U.S., meaning the highest growth days when Alphabet was grabbing market share from legacy channels like television and print advertising are mostly over. Additionally, Alphabet will have to compete with newer digital channels like connected TV, which is seeing a boom as more and more media companies launch ad-supported streaming services.Alphabet's advertising business is also likely to run into the law of large numbers soon. It brought in revenue of $224.5 billion last year, which alone would make it one of the biggest companies in the world. In order to grow that ad business by 20%, the company would have to find another $44 billion in revenue, which would be no small feat. While it is the biggest advertising business in the world, it's still competing for advertising dollars with a wide range of options.As its revenue base gets larger and the digital ad market matures, Alphabet's growth rate should naturally slow down.What it means for investorsWhen you factor in the cyclical headwinds, which could last for at least another year, and the maturing ad market, Alphabet stock doesn't quite look like the bargain that some investors seem to think it is.Meanwhile, the threat to its business from ChatGPT deserves to be taken into account. While it's too early to know how AI-driven search will play out, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's prediction that margins will come down in search seems logical based on the computing costs required.Until Alphabet can convince the market that it isn't restrained by any of these challenges, the stock is likely to continue to trade at modest valuations.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GOOGL":0.9,"GOOG":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9940297747,"gmtCreate":1677924322190,"gmtModify":1677924345000,"author":{"id":"4115468016881552","authorId":"4115468016881552","name":"Tiga40","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4115468016881552","idStr":"4115468016881552"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thx","listText":"Thx","text":"Thx","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9940297747","repostId":"2316922136","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2316922136","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1677895726,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2316922136?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-04 10:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 High-Yield ETFs for Passive Income","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2316922136","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Reliable ETFs from Vanguard and BlackRock provide a starting point for income-oriented investors.","content":"<div>\n<p>Thanks to their low costs, easy access, and sophistication, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have steadily taken inflows for decades.

As of Q4 2022, BlackRock estimates that ETFs make up 12.6% of equity assets in the U.S. Today, there are sector-based ETFs and even ETFs that focus on a specific type of developing technology or industry.With so many options available, BlackRock forecasts the U.S. ETF industry to surpass $13 trillion in assets under management (AUM) by the end of this year and possibly $25 trillion in AUM by the end of 2027.Investors looking for ETFs that produce passive income have come to the right place. The Vanguard Utilities ETF, iShares Global Infrastructure ETF, and iShares Core High Dividend ETF are three foundational ETFs with exposure to top stocks across a variety of sectors. Here, three Motley Fool contributors outline what makes each ETF a great buy now.A high-quality yield you can count on, no matter the market cycleDaniel Foelber (Vanguard Utilities ETF): The Vanguard Utilities ETF isn't flashy. But it has many qualities that may appeal to a risk-averse investor focused on passive income.The fund tracks the performance of the utility sector, which is stable, less-volatile relative to the S&P 500. It also has a higher yield than the S&P 500. Vanguard Utilities ETF has a yield around 3% and consists mostly of regulated electric utilities.These businesses aren't fast growers because they work closely with government agencies to set reasonable prices for customers. However, many of these stocks aren't expensive.Another advantage of the Vanguard Utilities ETF is its low expense ratio. At just 0.10%, investors pay very little for Vanguard's services. The fund is also well diversified, which helps limit the risk of being overly invested in a single utility.Although regulated electric utilities tend to be safe, they are prone to significant risks, as we saw with the bankruptcy of Pacific Gas & Electric in 2019. A basket of utilities lowers the risk while unlocking an attractive dividend yield.The largest holding in The Vanguard Utilities ETF, NextEra Energy, has a track record for aggressive renewable energy investment and market outperformance. However, many other utilities have caught on and have implemented their own renewable energy strategies. For example, Dominion Energy is backing a $9.7 billion offshore wind energy project.Renewable energy provides a catalyst for long-term growth for these utility companies. And although NextEra Energy has proven that onshore wind and solar projects are profitable and cost-competitive with fossil fuels, offshore wind remains a much more speculative and costly energy source.A single stock tends to offer more potential upside than a balanced ETF. And while some investors may prefer to pick one utility over another, a safer approach is to go with the Vanguard Utilities ETF as a foundational holding and then build individual positions from there based on personal preference.A genuinely global infrastructure ETF for investorsLee Samaha (iShares Global Infrastructure ETF): Instead of trying to pick winners from a crowded field of infrastructure-related stocks, it makes sense to consider buying an infrastructure ETF that gives you diversified exposure and a 2.5% dividend yield to boot.A genuinely global ETF, iShares Global Infrastructure ETF has slightly more than 58% of its assets in international holdings. The ETF gives investors access to utilities (about 41% of assets), including gas, water, electricity, and renewable energy. Transportation (about 38%) gives investors exposure to airport services, highways/railways, and marine infrastructure. Finally, energy (about 20%) offers exposure to oil and gas storage and transportation.The ETF aims to benefit from increasing expenditure on infrastructure in a rapidly urbanizing world -- in other words, the increasing mass of people moving to live in cities, not least in the developing world, and the need for investment to build the infrastructure to support it. Alongside urbanization, there's a need to maintain and update critical infrastructure in the developed world, as evidenced by the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the U.S.The ETF won't shoot the lights out in terms of performance, but it will offer a stable, diversified way to benefit from solid megatrends in the economy that won't go away, even in a recession.A conservative approach to collecting big passive incomeScott Levine (iShares Core High Dividend ETF): Picking up shares of a high-yield dividend stock is a great way to generate strong passive income. Of course, there are inherent risks with investing in a single equity. A high-yield ETF offers a great alternative for those looking to reduce the risks of investing in a single high-yield stock. And for those interested in lowering their risk even further, the iShares Core High Dividend ETF, with its forward dividend yield of 3.5%, is an especially attractive option.Unlike ETFs that have exposure to a particular industry, the iShares Core High Dividend ETF has exposure to multiple industries -- an appealing quality in that it mitigates the risk of a downturn in a particular sector.Take the energy industry, for example. Of the top three holdings in the iShares Core High Dividend ETF, two are energy stocks. As of Feb. 17, ExxonMobil and Chevron accounted for 9.5% and 5.6%, respectively, of the fund's holdings. Should energy prices plummet and remain low for a protracted period of time, ExxonMobil and Chevron could reduce their dividends; however, the ample exposure to other industries suggests that the ETF's dividend wouldn't be slashed.Another way in which the iShares Core High Dividend ETF offers a reduced risk profile is by using a conservative screening method to help identify potential holdings. According to BlackRock, the manager of the ETF, the screen looks to \"increase exposure to companies with healthy balance sheets\" and \"reduce exposure to companies with lower margins of safety.\"Any potential investors in an ETF can't say they've satisfied their due diligence without looking at the expense ratio. A high yield is great, but it means little if most of the distribution is coming at the cost of a high maintenance fee. Fortunately, in this case, there's no cause for concern; the iShares Core High Dividend ETF has an extremely reasonable expense ratio of 0.08%.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"VPU":0.9,"HDV":0.9,"IGF":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1384,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
