A good chart on historical and future Capex of $MSFT $GOOG $META

I wish they put as a share of Sales too.

$MSFT has become the biggest spender 👇🏼 https://t.co/t66tI7Ahvl

A great post by @JohnHuber72 on the rising capital intensity of the Big Tech and the implications for earnings quality and future returns.

1/ Capex [of Big 4 Tech companies] is now over 3 times depreciation expense.

2/ This spending hasn’t yet hit the income statement, but it will in the next few years as depreciation expenses are set to triple in the coming years as D&A catches up with today’s capex spending.

3/ If the returns on these investments are good, then sales growth will be able to absorb these much higher expenses. But this is not a sure thing.

4/ While the P/E ratios range from 25 to 35, the P/FCF ranges from 40-50.

5/ “I’m not predicting a poor result, but I’m mindful of how difficult it will be given how different the companies are today.”

6/ They used to grow with very little capital invested, but now they have a mountain of capital to deploy, which is obviously much harder at 7 times the size. - Hidden Value Gems

An interesting read about $RACE and its strategy to grow in luxury goods segment. Apparently more challenging than the company might have thought.

“Ferrari has hundreds of millions of fans around the world and we are settling on a 1 per cent slice.”

“Ferrari’s merchandise prices have also increased significantly, with caps that once sold for €8 now priced at €80.”

Welcome all future Long Term Investors

It didn’t work out for you in 2021 but you are back now

You’ll learn one more difficult lesson this time and decide that Long Term Investing is better than gambling.

I read Darwin and Freud, but don’t know how to proceed.

$BABA take advantage of pull backs

$BABA earnings tomorrow morning

It has run aggressively leading up to earnings so any pull back will be an opportunity to add

Either way, this moves back up to the mean reversion zone as shown below - The Long Investor

This is hilarious.

Sprott doesn’t want to be left out of the copper party.

Now you have investment demand hoarding physical copper.

This reflexivity will send prices MUCH higher.

Industrial demand, military demand, and now investor demand.

All competing for supply.

$BABA results:

✅decent top line (+7% YoY) supported by strong International (+45% YoY) and Logistics (+30%), while overall China sales +4% (in line with the mkt?).

✅Segment EBITA down -9% as both Intl and Logistics are still loss-making (growing faster). Taobao/Tmall profits down -1%; Cloud +45%.

✅One-time special dividend of $0.66/share.

Looks like the same deep value with better returns to shareholders.
