China ADRs plunge as Xi's new team sparks worries over economy's path


Mon, October 24, 2022, 5:59 AM

(Reuters) -U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies slumped on Monday after President Xi Jinping's new leadership team sparked investor concerns that ideology-driven policies would be prioritized at the cost of private sector growth.

Ecommerce giants Alibaba, JD.com as well as internet behemoth Baidu crashed between 14% and 17%, even as the benchmark S&P 500 edged higher.

The iShares MSCI China ETF tanked 10%, tracking its steepest one-day drop ever.

"The concern is that the Chinese government is continuing to move to a more socialist economic model under Xi which may require Chinese companies to place ever more focus on social goals rather than profitability," said Rick Meckler, a partner at Cherry Lane Investments in New Vernon.

"By consolidating power, Xi is likely to face little opposition to this form of nationalization of corporate interests."

Earlier in the day, Hong Kong stocks slumped 6.4% to 13-year lows and China's blue-chip shares slid 2.9% as investor worries over the direction of the world's second largest economy overshadowed upbeat third-quarter growth data.

Xi secured a precedent-breaking third leadership term on Sunday and introduced the new Politburo Standing Committee stacked with loyalists.

"While there were no new announcements on the policy front, the departure of perceived pro-stimulus officials and reformers ... and replacement with allies of Xi, suggest that 'Common Prosperity' will be the overriding push of officials," strategists at TD Securities said.

Music streaming provider Tencent Music, e-commerce platform Pinduoduo and mobile game publisher Bilibili shed between 16% and 33%.

Electric vehicle firms Nio Inc, Xpeng and Li Auto fell between 23% and 30%.

The EV makers were also weighed down by Tesla cutting starter prices for its Model 3 and Model Y cars in China for the first time this year, indicating signs of softening demand in the world's largest auto market.

Badger Meter (BMI) Q3 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates, Up Y/Y Should It be an IRA stock?

Thu, October 20, 2022, 1:28 PM
In this article:
BMI
-2.82%


Badger Meter, Inc BMI reported earnings of 61 cents per share for third-quarter 2022, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents. Also, the bottom line compared favorably with the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 54 cents.

Net earnings in the reported quarter were $17.9 million compared with $15.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year improvement can be primarily attributed to higher revenues.

Quarterly net sales increased to $148 million from $128.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The 15% (up 17% excluding the unfavorable impact of the stronger US dollar) rise was primarily driven by robust customer demand. Also, the top line beat the consensus mark of $141.1 million.

Following the announcement, shares of the company jumped 3.5% on Oct 19, 2022 and closed the session at $100.36. In the past year, shares have lost 3.5% compared with the Zacks sub-industry’s decline of 23.6%

Segmental Performance
In the quarter under review, utility water sales rose 17%, owing to strong demand momentum. Strength in E-Series, ultrasonic meters, ORION Cellular endpoint sales, and higher BEACON Software-as-a-Service revenues acted as major tailwinds.

Flow instrumentation sales increased 5% year over year, driven by continued strong order trends across the majority of end-market applications globally. However, it was partly offset by supply chain woes, which impacted manufacturing output.

Other Details
During the September-end quarter, gross profit was $57.5 million, up 12.4% year over year. The gross margin was 38.9%, down from the 39.8% recorded in the prior-year quarter. This downside in the margin was primarily due to rising electronic and other components, logistics and other costs. Operating earnings were $23.9 million or 16.1% of sales compared with $19.4 million and 15.1% in the year-earlier quarter.

My experience is when a company executes like this you can buy it even in a bad Bear market.



This was helpful for me-
(PS: I added the IRA part)

Polaris Inc (PII) Reports Next Week: Wall Street Expects Earnings Growth


Tue, October 18, 2022, 10:01 AM

  • PII
    +1.57%
Polaris Inc (PII) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2022.

Zacks Consensus Estimate

This snowmobile and ATV maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.85 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +43.9%.

Revenues are expected to be $2.19 billion, up 11.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions Trend

The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.51% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.


How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Polaris Inc?

For Polaris Inc, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.26%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that Polaris Inc will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?

While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Polaris Inc would post earnings of $2.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.42, delivering a surprise of +15.79%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
