Facebook Stock Forecast: Why Facebook Is Now More Attractive Than Apple

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • I dare say Facebook is now the better long-term investment than Apple. Apple’s trumpeting of privacy issues against Facebook reeks of hypocrisy.
  • My takeaway is that Apple just wants a share of the ad money that Facebook is mining from iPhone/iPad owners.
  • Alphabet paid billions of dollars so that its Google data-gathering search engine remains the default search engine on Apple’s mobile Safari browser.
  • Apple is just envious of Apple and Alphabet’s successes in mobile advertising.
  • Apple is the god dictator of the massive iOS platform and yet it failed to build a successful mobile advertising business.

Zynga Stock Forecast: Zynga’s Stock Has More Upside Potential

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • I published two articles endorsing a buy rating for Zynga during December 2018 period. ZNGA’s 1 month gain is +13.62%.
  • ZNGA’s current price is now $4.44 – still below the average 12-month PT of $4.78 at TipRanks.
  • Goldman Sachs initiated ZNGA as a buy today and gave it a PT of $5.30. This favorable view from Goldman Sachs helped boost ZNGA’s price.
  • Adding more Zynga shares seems worth the risk. In spite of being the bigger company and posting profit ZNGA is still cheaper to own than GLUU.
  • Zynga will report its earnings next week. I expect it to beat the EPS estimate of 0.04 and revenue estimate of $257.3 million.

Facebook Stock Forecast: Facebook Is A Strong Buy

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • Privacy issues still haunts Facebook. After Apple asked Facebook to remove its Onavo Protect iOS app last year, Facebook came up with another data-gathering app.
  • Facebook is reportedly paying people to use its new Research mobile app so it can gather personal data and mobile phone usage habits.
  • On the other hand, it shows Facebook is still bullish on data gathering to augment its already dominant position in digital advertising.
  • I opine that people understand that nothing is free in this world. Companies like Facebook and Google data mining in exchange for free apps/services.
  • I also like Zuckerberg’s plan to integrate/merge Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Apple Stock Forecast: Why Apple Will Release A New Mac Mini This Year

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

 Summary:

  • In spite of year-over-year declines in quarterly revenue and net income, Apple’s stock still jumped 5% during after-hours trading after its Jan. 29 ER.
  • iPhone’s quarterly revenue was down -15% Y/Y but Mac’s revenue was up 9% Y/Y. Revenue from iPad was up +17% and Services was up +19% Y/Y.
  • The strong sales growth of the iPad and Services segments convinced me that Apple will really release a new low-cost iPad Mini and iPad 9.7 inch this year.
  • Office productivity, mobile gaming, and watching streaming movies is still better on an iPad than on an iPhone.
  • Adobe will release an iPad/iOS native version of Photoshop CC this year. A $200 iPad Mini 5 with 7.9-inch screen is perfect for professional photo editing.

Intel Stock Forecast: New High-end Processors Makes Intel A Good Buy Right Now

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • Intel is a great bet right now because its stock still trades below $50.
  • Further, the upcoming release of 9th Generation Coffee Lake processors can boost Intel’s topline and bottomline this year.
  • These latest Intel processors are aimed at the high-margin enthusiast market. They are high-end processors aimed at PC gamers and multimedia artists/editors.
  • They also won’t come with integrated Intel graphics accelerators. It’s a new strategy that differentiates it from AMD’s Ryzen tactic.
  • If you are a gamer or a multimedia artist, you will understand that a PC processor without an integrated GPU is better because it was optimized for CPU-only tasks.

Amazon Stock Forecast For 2019: Two Emerging Important Tailwinds for Amazon

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • Amazon’s stock has significantly dropped since December 3. It is now more affordable to own.
  • Amazon is a must-have investment for your 2019 portfolio. Aside from its growing presence in India, Amazon can now cater to online shoppers in more countries.
  • Investors can turn more optimistic on Amazon when the company starts showing better international net sales.
  • Non-U.S. citizens/residents can now shop on Amazon.com and pay using local currencies at Western Union remittance/money transfer partner outlets.
  • Amazon also has another obvious tailwind from its decision to sell its own brand of toys. The global toy industry’s revenue last year was $83 billion.

NVDA Stock Prediction for 2019: Nvidia Has Obvious Tailwind From Fast-Growing Robotics Industry

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • There is still almost-zero demand for graphics accelerator cards from the cryptocurrency mining industry. Ethereum’s crypto currency price is now only $125.42.
  • On the other hand, I see the growing robotics industry to gradually become an important catalyst for Nvidia. The new Jetson AGX Xavier module is the best brain for robots.
  • Unlike the speculative and very volatile cryptocurrency mining business, the entire global robotics industry can grow to a market size of $498.6 billion by 2025.
  • NVDA is clearly oversold due to investors putting too much emphasis on the non-permanent decline of cryptocurrency mining.
  • NVDA is attractively priced at the moment. It now trades at only 17.77x P/E and 8.57x P/B.
