widget: source_sentence: Forget Nvidia -- This Semiconductor Stock Is a Much Better Value
sentences: Nvidiais a great company and a great stock, but it currently trades on slightly more than 50 times Wall Street's 2024 earnings estimates. That's fine for many investors willing to pay a premium for a high-quality growth stock, but for investors who are willing to take some near-term risk on board,ON Semiconductor(NASDAQ: ON)might be a better option. Here's why.Cyclicality matters for semiconductor stocksSemiconductors are highly cyclical; they always have been and always will be. That's because the first thing their customers do when they see demand picking up is order chips to prepare for a production ramp. Conversely, when they see a slowdown coming the first thing they do is stop or cancel chip orders as they prepare to slow production.As such, semiconductors are always early bellwethers of their end markets. However, not all end markets are made equal, and this year, the hot area of spending has been around artificial intelligence (AI) and the high-performance computing (HPC) chips necessary to power it. That's why Nvidia has done so well and whyTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturingcontinues to outperform, led bya strong recoveryin its HPC sales.ON Semiconductor's positioningHowever, ON Semiconductor's key end markets, industrial and automotive, remain challenging, which is why the company's stock price is down 21% over the last year. I'll come back to that point in a moment, but first, a few words on the company itself for those unfamiliar with it.The investment case is based on management repositioning the company for growth in exciting long-term growth markets, and that's best seen in its silicon carbide operations. Management has invested heavily in positioning itself in the silicon carbide business, not least by recently announcing a multiyear $2 billion investment in a silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing facility in central Europe. Silicon carbide chips offer several benefits over traditional silicon chips, and notably at the higher voltages needed forelectric vehicles(EVs).In addition, the chip company has positioned itself in other exciting growth markets in new technologies where it has relatively high content, including factory automation, EV charging, renewable energy infrastructure, 5G, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).Image source: Getty Images.ON Semiconductor's challengesUnfortunately, while these end markets have great long-term growth potential, they are slowing in 2024. The impact of the slowdown is best seen in the company's declining sales and in the slowdown in its silicon carbide business. EV sales growth has tailed off as persistently high interest rates have made car loans more expensive. As such, automakers have pared back investment in EVs, and the company's sales have been negatively impacted.Story continuesFor example, back in October, management said that a reduction in demand from one original equipment manufacturer (OEM) automotive customer would result in the company only hitting $800 million in 2023 rather than the target of $1 billion. Fast forward to February, and CEO Hassane El-Khoury told investors, "OEM's latest EV plans indicate a more tapered growth signaling a SiC market growth in the range of 20% to 30%" compared to market reports calling for "30% or 40% growth for silicon carbide in 2024."In a sign of a declining market, El-Khoury updated investors in April and said he still expected the silicon carbide total addressable market to increase in 2024, "although at a lower rate than previously anticipated."While he noted that there were signs of demand stabilization, he was quite clear that "I'm not going to call the bottom. I was very clear last time. I'll call it when I'm sitting on the top on the other side."As such, anyone thinking of buying in needs to appreciate that there's potential for some negative near-term news flow.Two reasons to buy ON SemiconductorIf you can tolerate the near-term risk, the stock is highly attractive. After all, no one disputes that EVs are the future of the industry. All it will take is a lower interest-rate environment for EV sales to pick up, and so will EV investment. In addition, the other targeted end markets referenced all have excellent long-term growth prospects.Meanwhile, ON Semiconductor's valuation multiples are undemanding. Trading on 18.3 times estimated earnings, the company looks like an excellent value. While there's no guarantee it will make those numbers, and as El-Khoury notes, it's hard to forecast the bottom in the market, it's a pretty safe bet that ON Semiconductor's end markets and sales will recover in line with traditional cyclicality.Given that all the company has to do is meet Wall Street estimates to look like an outstanding value, I would argue the risk/reward calculation favors buying the stock for enterprising investors.Should you invest $1,000 in ON Semiconductor right now?Before you buy stock in ON Semiconductor, consider this:TheMotley Fool Stock Advisoranalyst team just identified what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy now… and ON Semiconductor wasn’t one of them.

While the country had previously said that the prohibition would be extended to March 30, there was uncertainty about whether the popular trading practice would resume afterward or be subject to another ban extension, and also if changes would apply to all stocks.“With the goal of resuming short selling on all stocks at the end of March next year, we are revising laws and will ensure the systems are in place,” Kim said, speaking to reporters in his first press conference since taking office in July.Read: Korea Extends Short Ban, Threatens Life in Jail for Illegal BetsShort sellers have been outlawed in the nation’s $1.9 trillion stock market since November, as the government sought to root out naked shorting — the practice of selling shares without borrowing them first — which is illegal in the country.The curb was cheered by politically influential retail investors but has been controversial with market participants as the strategy is used by money managers around the world. MSCI Inc. said in its annual review that the country’s short-selling accessibility is “deteriorating.”“It is a welcome development that South Korea’s policies are turning more market-friendly,” said Jung In Yun, chief executive officer at Fibonacci Asset Management Global Pte, a Singapore-based hedge fund.Kim said lifting the prohibition would help remove one of the barriers in South Korea’s bid for a market upgrade from MSCI, which maintained the country’s status as an emerging market in its latest review. Kim emphasized that the ultimate goal isn’t just to win an upgrade but to lift capital market standards via the initiatives such as “Corporate Value-up” initiatives.Authorities have sought to revise shorting rules that retail investors said were unfair to them and also to develop the electronic monitoring platform to detect illegal trades. Officials also planned to introduce harsher penalties, including a life term in prison for those profiting at least 5 billion won from such misdeeds.Story continuesSpeaking on wide-ranging issues from the nation’s household debts and his recent visit to Japan to see that country’s corporate reforms, Kim said South Korea will “actively” review measures to improve its rules on how listed companies determine the ratios in the event of mergers.His remarks come after Doosan Group, one of the nation’s oldest conglomerates, withdrew part of its merger plan between Doosan Bobcat Inc. and Doosan Robotics Inc. after a push-back from financial watchdog Financial Supervisory Service and investors. Doosan’s bids for restructuring through mergers were criticized for running afoul of the government’s “Value-up” initiatives and hurting minority shareholders.(Updates with investor comment in fifth paragraph.)Most Read from Bloomberg BusinessweekEV Leases Go as Low as $20 a Month to Help Dealers Clear Their LotsChina Can Avoid Japan’s Lost Decades If It Follows Korea’s PathThe Covid Pandemic Left an Extra 13 Million Americans SingleUS Oil Boom Turns Kamala Harris Into an Unlikely Fracking SupporterPutting Olive Oil in a Squeeze Bottle Earned This Startup a Cult Following©2024 Bloomberg L.P., i have really nice clear skin, but lately i've been getting horrible big red blemishes on my neck.  i never get anything on my face, ever...just on my neck area.  and i dont just get one or two, my neck is COVERED with them.

sentences: Tesla(NASDAQ: TSLA)has become such a highly regarded business that it's included in the exclusive "Magnificent Seven" grouping, which consists of some of the most dominant and innovative companies the world has ever seen. But while shares have skyrocketed 1,070% in the past decade, they have disappointed investors in the past three years.Nonetheless, thistop electric vehicle (EV) stockis probably still on the radars of a lot of investors out there. Is Tesla a smart buy? To get to a final answer, let's consider both the bull and bear cases for the business.Tesla bull caseTesla deserves credit for disrupting the auto industry. Grounded on the belief that the world needs to reduce carbon emissions, the company introduced popular EVs to customers across the globe. And this spurred heavy investments in research and development among legacy car companies.Tesla has a significant 50% share of the U.S. EV market. And it now sells a suite of five passenger vehicles, with a lower-cost model on the way next year.One way to tell whether a company is of high quality is to figure out whether there's an economic moat or durable competitive advantages that support better financial performance. It's easy to argue that Tesla fits the bill here.First of all, its brand has tremendous value. As has historically been the case, Tesla has been able to charge premium prices for its EVs (more on this below), leading to consistent positive earnings starting in 2020.Cost advantages in Tesla's manufacturing process have also supported this bottom-line performance. The business is able to produce and sell cars profitably, something many of its rivals can't say.Automotive revenue made up 78% of Tesla's sales base in Q2. However, the bulls hope that Tesla's business will look different over the long term. The company has been working on developing the capabilities of its AI Dojo supercomputer to finally introduce full self-driving technology, which could result inTesla launching a robotaxi servicethat could seriously boost its financial prospects.Tesla bear caseOne of the most obvious factors the Tesla naysayers will point to is the company's growth slowdown. While investors got used to the business posting monster double-digit yearly sales gains in years past, things have taken a turn for the worse.In the last two quarters of 2023, Tesla reported single-digit revenue growth. In Q1 of this year, that figure turned negative before rising just over 2% in the second quarter.Industry executives blame softer-than-expected demand for EVs. Higher interest rates make financing a new car purchase more expensive, so it makes sense why consumers are pulling back. Besides price, driving range anxiety and a belief that there aren't enough charging stations are still top factors that discourage an EV purchase.Story continuesTesla's ascent resembled a hyper-growth software enterprise. But now, the business looks like a typical automaker. It can't escape the extreme competition from both domestic and international rivals. Tesla has implemented numerous price cuts to support demand for its cars in this economic environment.Declining sales and pricing pressure have also profoundly impacted the income statement. Tesla's Q2 2024gross marginandoperating marginwere meaningfully lower than in the same period of 2022.Even though the stock trades 44% off its peak price, it's still expensive at a price-to-earnings ratio of 62. This makes Tesla the most expensive of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks despite the company probably performing the worst from a fundamental perspective.Tesla has done a great job compounding shareholder capital in the past decade. But I find the bull arguments more compelling. And that's why I don't believe it's a good time to buy the stock.Should you invest $1,000 in Tesla right now?Before you buy stock in Tesla, consider this:TheMotley Fool Stock Advisoranalyst team just identified what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy now… and Tesla wasn’t one of them.

Debutant Siti Zulaikha Azmi then gave Malaysia the fourth point by coming out on top over Isabella Yan 21-10, 21-10.

However, Malaysia will not be able to qualify for the last eight after losing 1-4 to Taiwan and 0-5 to Thailand in their first two group matches, Enthusiasm about artificial intelligence (AI) has pushed theS&P 500(SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) to dozens of record highs in 2024.Palantir Technologies(NYSE: PLTR) andArm Holdings(NASDAQ: ARM) have benefited greatly from that momentum, notching year-to-date gains of 61% and 145%, respectively.However, some Wall Street analysts think the stocks have gotten ahead of themselves. Their 12-month price targets imply substantial downside for shareholders.Rishi Jaluria at RBC Capital Markets has set Palantir with a price target of $9 per share, which implies 67% downside from its current share price of $27.Javier Correonero atMorningstarhas set Arm with a price target of $66 per share, which implies 64% downside from its current share price of $182.Should investors sell these high-flying AI stocks?Palantir Technologies: 67% implied downsidePalantir provides four primary software platforms. Gotham and Foundry let clients integrate data, develop artificial intelligence (AI) andmachine learning(ML) models, and design analytics applications to improve decision-making. Apollo is a delivery system that updates both platforms, and AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) brings support forgenerative AIto Gotham and Foundry.Analysts have mixed opinions about Palantir. In the bull camp,Forrester Researchranks the company as a leader among AI/ML platform providers, and Dresner Advisory Services ranks it as a leader in ModelOps, which deals with developing, deploying, and optimizing AI/ML models. Last year, Dan Ives at Wedbush Securities said Palantir was "probably the best pure play AI name."In the bear camp,Gartnerranks Palantir below most peers in data integration tools, and the consultancy did not even mention Palantir in a recent report on data science and ML platforms. Last year, Rishi Jaluria at RBC Capital said conversations with industry experts and company employees suggest Palantir "does not appear to be anything truly differentiated when it comes to generative AI."Palantir reported decent financial results in the first quarter . Revenue increased 21% to $634 million and non-GAAP earnings increased 60% to $0.08 per diluted share. Management noted "unprecedented demand driven by momentum from AIP." Yet, the company guided for full-year revenue growth of 20%, implying a slight deceleration in the coming quarters.Wall Street expects adjusted earnings per share to grow at 22% annually through 2026. That estimate makes the current valuation of 99 times adjusted earnings look very expensive. I doubt Palantir shares will plunge to $9 as Rishi Jaluria expects, but investors should consider trimming their position here.Story continuesArm Holdings: 64% implied downsideArm designs central processing unit (CPU) architectures that it licenses to clients likeApple,Amazon, andNvidia. Those companies use Arm-based products to develop their own chips and systems. They have the option of building chips with custom cores (the processing engines in CPUs), or purchasing off-the-shelf cores from Arm. The latter option outsources an even larger portion of chip-related R&D expenses.Apple's M-series chips are an example of Arm-based CPUs with custom cores. But Amazon's Graviton processors and Nvidia's Grace CPUs feature off-the-shelf Arm Neoverse cores, which are optimized for cloud computing and artificial intelligence. By comparison, Cortex-series cores from Arm are optimized for mobile and IoT devices.Every CPU has an instruction set architecture that defines how the hardware interacts with software. Arm architectures are known for their low power consumption, and Arm-based chips are virtually ubiquitous in devices where power efficiency is critical. For instance, its technology is present in 99% of smartphones, and it holds 60% market share in other mobile devices.Meanwhile, x86 archtectures used byIntelandAdvanced Micro Deviceshave traditionally been associated with superior computational performance. That edge has allowed those chipmakers to dominate the personal computer (PC) and data center markets.Companies on both sides have tried to expand their influence, but Arm has been more successful. Intel and AMD have made little progress in mobile devices, but Arm gained three points of data center market share between 2020 and 2023, according to CFRA analysts. Additionally, CEO Rene Haas recently predicted Arm would hold 50% PC market share by 2029, up from 17% in 2024.Arm looked strong in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 (ended March 31). Revenue increased 47% to $928 million and non-GAAP net income improved to $0.36 per diluted share, up from $0.02 per diluted share last year. But management gave guidance implying 22% revenue growth in fiscal 2025, a surprising deceleration given the theoretically high demand for AI chips.Of course, that outlook could be nothing more than caution on behalf of management, but there is another problem investors should consider. Wall Street expects Arm to grow adjusted earnings per share at 27% annually through fiscal 2026. That forecast makes its current valuation of 144 times adjusted earnings look outrageously expensive. Personally, I doubt Arm shares will fall 64%, but investors should consider trimming their positions here.Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now?Before you buy stock in Palantir Technologies, consider this:TheMotley Fool Stock Advisoranalyst team just identified what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy now… and Palantir Technologies wasn’t one of them.

sentences: JOHOR BARU: A teenage boy sustained second-degree burns on his head in a fire that damaged several houses and a kindergarten at Jalan Ledang in Taman Johor here.

Larkin Fire and Rescue station chief deputy fire superintendent I Mohd Suhaimi Abdul Jamal said they received a distress call at 8.25pm on Sunday.

Twenty-eight personnel and several fire engines were dispatched to the scene, he said.

“The 17-year-old victim, who had been asleep during the incident, was rescued by members of the public,” he said.

Mohd Suhaimi said the fire nearly destroyed one of the terrace houses and caused minor damage to the adjacent one.

“The victim was sent to Hospital Sultanah Aminah for further treatment,” he said.

He said the cause of the fire and estimated losses were still being looked into.

Meanwhile, in SEREMBAN, two houses and a temple were badly damaged in a fire in Kampung Baru Nilai.

A tractor was also 80% burnt and two Proton Saga cars were completely destroyed in the incident on Monday.

However, no casualties were reported., With markets rallying in recent months, it's no surprise that many investors are considering owning more dividend stocks. These investments tend look cheaper than their growth-focused counterparts right now even as they provide immediate income.An ideal dividend stock brings several factors to the table, including a market leadership position, stellar finances, and decent sales growth. Income investors prize a long track record of annual dividend raises, too.There's one stock that meets these criteria in spades. It also just announced a head-turning dividend hike for the 2024 calendar year. Let's look at why investors might want to take a closer look atWalmart(NYSE: WMT)as a dividend growth stock right now.Walmart's yield right now is below averageIt's true that Walmart has a relatively low dividend yield today. The 1.3% you'd earn from buying its shares is a little less than the 1.4% average yield of the widerS&P 500. There are significantly higher yields available in the retailing industry, like those on offer fromHome Depot(2.5%) andTarget(2.6%), for example.Yet investors have some good reasons to expect Walmart's dividend hikes to accelerate soon, potentially closing the gap with these peers. That's because the company in late February announced a 9% payout increase to roughly triple the growth rate from the prior year. Walmart is sitting on $10 billion of cash right now after generating $15 billion of free cash flow last year compared to $12 billion a year earlier. "We're proud of the team and excited about building on our momentum," CEO Doug McMillon said in a press release.Walmart is taking advantage of strong earningsWalmart is growing sales more quickly in recent quarters, with revenue rising 6% year over year in fiscal Q4. That boost included a 4% year-over-year uptick in the core U.S. market, which was powered by 4% higher customer traffic. Peers like Target, on the other hand, are seeing declining traffic as they work to better challenge Walmart's price leadership.Admittedly, Walmart won't thrill investors with massive growth in the short term. Management is only projecting a sales increase in the range of 3% to 4% in fiscal 2025 as operating income rises by between 4% and 5%. Those gains are coming on top of solid growth in 2024, though, and reflect a second straight year of expanding profitability. Combined with Walmart's surging cash flow, these wins could support much faster dividend growth over the next few years.What to watch with Walmart stockWalmart faces some challenges in its goal of speeding growth and increasing direct cash returns, to be sure. It must continue fighting off rivals like Target andCostco Wholesaleas both retailers aggressively cut prices. Walmart hasn't yet established a large enough digital advertising segment to impact the wider business, either. Its e-commerce unit has sufficient scale, meanwhile, at over $100 billion of revenue in the past full fiscal year.Story continuesIt's not clear yet whether Walmart's management team will have the resources and desire to take a more aggressive approach toward the dividend payout, so income investors might want to just watch this stock for now. Consider other industry leaders with more generous payouts, such as Home Depot. The home improvementretailerhiked its dividend by 8% this year and its yield sits about 1 percentage point above Walmart's.Don't count Walmart out as a dividend growth option, though. Another year of gains in metrics like cash flow, customer traffic, and profit margin might spur a double-digit dividend increase in early 2025.Should you invest $1,000 in Walmart right now?Before you buy stock in Walmart, consider this:TheMotley Fool Stock Advisoranalyst team just identified what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy now… and Walmart wasn’t one of them.

Some are close replacements to alcohol (think Guinness 0.0) but other drinks attracting interest purport to offer health benefits from the use of functional ingredients – and nootropics has been one segment gaining attention.The term ‘nootropic’ was first used in 1972 by psychologist and chemist Corneliu E. Giurgea to describe a category of products said to benefit cognitive function.The term has evolved to encompass both natural and manufactured substances, which product developers claim have benefits including improving memory, stimulating creativity and boosting motivation.UK-based healthy snack and beverage wholesaler Epicurium includes the nootropic energy drink Xite in its range. A spokesperson says nootropics “is a huge trend right now” having “caught the imaginations of time-poor, stressed-out, millennials”.“It encompasses a number of botanicals and natural stimulants that promote and enhance mental and cognitive health, which is right at the top of the agenda within millennials and Gen Z. The word itself is memorable, engaging and pseudo-scientific, it’s a word that those with an interest love to use and lends a cache, offering users an air of expertise.”Three Spirit Drinks is a UK business set up in 2018 offering “functional elixirs” that describe how the drinks should make a person feel, from the energising Livener to the calming Nightcap. Co-founder Dash Lilley says the market for nootropic drinks “has exploded”.“When we first started it could be an uphill battle just explaining to people what Three Spirit drinks were; non-alcoholic elixirs full of adaptogens and nootropics to enhance your mood. Now people are more clued in. You’ll see bigger, well-known brands incorporating adaptogens into their products, you’ll see online communities of biohackers documenting their health experiences, including their use of nootropics.”Education still neededThe Covid-19 pandemic boosted demand for vitamins and dietary supplements. Overall, more consumers became more interested in ingredients offering support for their health and, as a consequence, sought foods and beverages that did the same. Drilling down further, that interest led to more attention for nootropics and drinks using the ingredients.Research by GlobalData –Just Drinks’ parent – notes that the increasing diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric disorders have also contributed to the rise in demand for nootropics, which have been found to alleviate some symptoms and have been sought out as potential alternative treatment options.Story continuesNootropics have also gained from influencer promotions and documentaries likeNetflix’s Fantastic Fungi, which highlights the benefits of mushroom-based nootropics.“The role of digital marketing and social media influencers in educating and promoting nootropic products has been significant,” Dallas Vasquez, the CEO and co-founder of US shots and seltzers business Mitra9, tellsJust Drinks. “Through these channels, we've been able to reach a broader audience and share the benefits of our unique offerings.”While health-related factors have led to rising interest in nootropic-based drinks, education remains key to increasing the further growth of the still fledgling market.The nootropics category is growing but remains somewhat fragmented.Julian Liban, Common Functional DrinksWhile the average consumer might be familiar with functional ingredients such as ginseng and Omega-3, compounds taken from Xerocomus mushrooms like L-theanine – a non-dietary amino acid known for stress reduction – or gingko biloba, a leaf used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and claimed to improve cerebral circulation, boost mental alertness and overall brain function, may not be as well known.“The nootropics category is growing but remains somewhat fragmented,” Julian Liban, the founder of UK-based Common Functional Drinks, tells Just Drinks. “Brands are still trying to understand consumer preferences, who in turn are educating themselves about available products and their benefits.”Interest from buyersNootropics could potentially appeal to a broad set of consumers, with, proponents say, benefits for students, for young professionals to help focus, for parents lacking energy, for athletes and even for people suffering from age-related memory decline.“The industry is growing so retailers are opening up shelf and refrigerator space,” David Sandler, the co-inventor of US nootropic beverage Safety Shot, tells Just Drinks.“Buyers are looking for variation over the standard energy drinks and distribution groups are adding more nootropic products to their offerings. There seems to be not only a willingness to find some space but general interest in adding it, which is due to consumer demand and the now-understanding of what nootropics are and how they can help ‘improve someone’s day’.”At Common Functional Drinks, Liban says retail buyers “recognise the potential of the category” and want to offer “what we term as ‘drinks-plus’, tasty beverages enhanced with functional ingredients like nootropics, CBD or probiotics.”Liban adds: “Nootropic beverages, particularly those derived from mushrooms, have gained traction first in the US and now increasingly in the UK. Spurred on by the mushroom powder trend replacing coffee, now mushroom RTDs are entering the market for consumers looking for a grab-and-go solution.”There is a range of nootropic ingredients on offer, which will differ depending on the market being targeted. Of course, as consumer interest evolves, demand for specific ingredients will wax and wane.“Specific ingredients will rise in popularity and prominence,” the Epicurium spokesperson says. “For example, lion’s mane and ashwagandha are very hot right now and are taking some of the attention from CBD but the key functions of natural energy, focus, and cognitive health are regular and increasingly essential buzzwords adorning front of pack on an increasing share of the category.”The impact on alcohol salesAt this stage, it is too early to call what kind of impact nootropic beverages will have on alcohol sales.“This is still such a tiny segment of the market that it’s difficult to measure in a manner that would be robust enough to report in our market data, and the share that the segment might be stealing from alcoholic drinks is likely extremely small in the overall scheme of things,” Katie Page, analytical content director at GlobalData, says.One challenge with measuring the impact of nootropics is their appeal is more than just an alternative to alcohol but falls into functional moments such as study or work aids.“Nootropics certainly have their place in this ‘universe’ of alcohol reduction but, at the moment, their overall role is small,” Page adds.The number of low-and- no drinks on menus has increased significantly in recent years. Formats are expanding to even include non-alcoholic beers on tap.Liban expects a rise in the number of beers and cocktails offering nootropic ingredients. “While nootropic-enhanced cocktails and beers are still emerging, the popularity of such innovations is expected to grow, especially by next summer,” he says.Earlier this year, Common Functional Drinkssecured a “six-figure seed investment”from executives including BrewDog founder James Watt.The funds will go towards the launch of two lion’s mane mushroom-based nootropic drinks and two CBD drinks made with cold-pressed hemp. The company is also set to introduce a nootropic gin-and-tonic next year.“Mushrooms are a hard flavour to work with, especially at the high dosages that we put in our beverages but our R&D [team] has managed to formulate some fantastic flavours,” Liban says.Kevin Baker, GlobalData’s head of global beer and cider research, says companies have to be careful as they run the risk of running into CSR issues if they start implying that alcoholic beverages can have health benefits.“This applies to low-and-no alcohol as well, as companies can be accused of ‘hiding behind the lo/no cloak’ and subliminally suggesting that beer has health benefits,” Baker says.“The strength of the health and wellness trend, combined with falling alcohol sales, has led to some companies looking at the category but these are quite niche and my guess would be that companies wanting to engage with the growth of nootropics will do so through acquisition or the creation of new ‘soft’ brands, rather than by adding to beer.”In all, the market for nootropics drinks remains in its very early stages. Rising consumer interest in the links between diet and health has shone a light on – and increased demand for – the drinks but the market has a long way to go to hit the mainstream.Nevertheless, brand owners and industry watchers believe the drinks will continue to attract interest.GlobalData’s Page says: “There definitely seems to be a healthy level of new product launches and product listings of nootropic products, which is arguably both fuelled by – and is fuelling consumer interest in trying these products.“Nootropics certainly won’t be for everyone but the products that are being launched cover a range of categories, need states, and price points, so the appeal of nootropics is likely to apply to a variety of different consumer cohorts.”"Does nascent nootropic drinks market have legs?" was originally created and published byJust Drinks, a GlobalData owned brand.The information on this site has been included in good faith for general informational purposes only.

sentences: Chevron(NYSE: CVX)has an elite record ofgrowing its dividend. The oil giant delivered its 37 consecutive dividend increase earlier this year, the second-longest current streak in the oil patch. The company has grown its payout twice as fast as its closest peer over the last several years, including by 8% earlier this year.One of the secrets of its success is thatChevronfocuses on returns over growth, which means it doesn't chase the hottest areas in the oil patch. Instead, it will invest capital where it can earn attractive returns.Oneoverlooked spot where it's investing these daysis the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.That strategy could pay big dividends in the coming years.An underappreciated assetChevron has a globally diversified portfolio of upstream, midstream, and downstream assets, referring, respectively, to production, pipelines, and chemicals and refining. That business model enables Chevron to maximize the value of every molecule of hydrocarbons it produces. The company also focuses on maximizing its returns by investing in areas where it produces low-cost and, ideally, lower carbon-intensity oil and gas.The U.S. Gulf of Mexico is one of those locations. The company's operations produce some of the world's lowestcarbon-intensityoil and gas. Furthermore, it can generate attractive returns by investing in growing its output from the region.Chevron recently started water injection operations at two projects to boost its oil and gas recovery at its existing Jack/St. Maloand Tahiti facilities in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The company noted that these projects will maximize the returns of its existing resource base. They'll also put the company another step closer to its goal of growing itsproduction in the regionto 300,000 net barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) by 2026.Those are just some of the many projects Chevron has under way in the region. It's close to deliveringfirstoil for its Anchor development, which came in under budget even as it deployed multiple breakthrough technologies. Those projects position Chevron to deliver high cash margins and low carbon-intensity production growth.Chevron has more growth potential in the region. It's one of the largest lease holders in the basin. It also has leading technology capabilities and attractive exploration opportunities near existing infrastructure andinfrontier areas. These factors put Chevron in astrongposition to continue growing itsproduction in the region.A potential boosterChevron is quietly looking to bolster its position in the Gulf of Mexico.The company agreed to acquireHess(NYSE: HES)last yearin a nearly $60 billion deal.The main driver is the company's position in the oil-rich Stabroek block offshore Guyana. Hess also has a position in the Bakken region, which would boost Chevron's U.S. onshore resource position. In addition, it operates in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Asia.Thefocus of that deal has been on Guyana, and rightfullyso,since that world-class resource position wouldreallymove the needle for Chevron.However, with all eyes on Guyana, most investors haveoverlookedthat Hess also operates in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, producing about 30,000 BOE/d.It's a highly complementary position to Chevron's existing assets in the region, meaning Chevron could invest in capital-efficient development projects to increase its production. That would enhance its returns from this low-cost and lowercarbon-intensityregion. They add to the overall exceptional strategic fit of the Hess acquisition.One of many growth driversChevron expects to grow its free cash flow by about 10% annually over the next several years, thanks partly to under-the-radar assets such as its position in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, adding Hess, which would bulk up its already strong position in the region while adding other growth drivers, would help accelerate its growth. It could more than double the company's free cash flow by 2027. They combine to make Chevron a compelling dividend growth stock. The oil giant should have plenty of fuel to maintain its magnificent streak of increasing its dividend for yearsto come.Where to invest $1,000 right nowWhen our analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all,Stock Advisor’stotal average return is 721% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 162% for the S&P 50 0.*They just revealed what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy right now…See the 10 stocks »*Stock Advisor returns as of September 3, 2024Matt DiLallohas positions in Chevron. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Chevron. The Motley Fool has adisclosure policy.This Overlooked Area Is a Key Growth Driver for This Magnificent Dividend Stockwas originally published by The Motley Fool, Nvidiahas undoubtedly been the hottest artificial intelligence (AI) stock to own over the past year and a half. Since the start of 2023, shares of the chipmaker have soared an incredible 500%. Many stocks don't generate those types of returns over adecadeor even longer, and Nvidia has managed to do that in just 16 months. Given those types of gains, it's not unreasonable to expect that many Wall Street analysts believe it may be approaching a peak. The consensus analyst price target suggests that Nvidia's stock may only rise another 13% from where it is today.AI investorsmay want to consider other options, which may have more room to rise higher. Three stocks that analysts are much more bullish about includeSoundHound AI(NASDAQ: SOUN),Baidu(NASDAQ: BIDU), andUiPath(NYSE: PATH). Here's a look at how much upside these stocks may have and whether they are worth adding to your portfolio today.1. SoundHound AI: 50% upsideThe analyst consensus price target for SoundHound AI is a little less than $7, which would mean that SoundHound's stock could rise by around 50% if you believe it could hit that value within the next year or so.SoundHound gained notoriety this year after investors learned that Nvidia invested in the voice AI company. Its AI voice platform can help incorporate AI into vehicles, drive-thrus, and other ways to help create a conversational experience between the user and AI. There's a lot of potential in many industries for this type of technology to facilitate the AI experience for customers.The biggest problem, however, is that there's been a lot of hype around SoundHound, but its results are still fairly modest; the company has a lot to prove, given how much competition there may be out there. Fast-food restaurant chainWendy's, for example, has already begun to deploy an AI-powered drive-thru ordering experience through the company's own FreshAI platform, which uses generative AI.For SoundHound to be a great buy, it needs to prove that its technology is the real deal and that it can be better than the competition. In the last three months of 2023, it generated an impressive 80% revenue growth, with its top line totaling $17.1 million. However, the business posted a net loss of $18 million, and it has been burning through cash, and it will likely need a lot of that cash to invest in its operations.SoundHound AI could rally by 50%, but if it does, it'll likely be due to speculative reasons; the company's fundamentals aren't strong enough just yet to make this a slam-dunk buy. For most investors, it's probably a bit too early to invest in SoundHound AI.Story continues2. Baidu: 60% upsideA stock that has even more upside, according to analysts, is Chinese tech company Baidu; Wall Street believes it can rise by about 60% to nearly $172. The company is often compared toAlphabet's Google, as it has a popular search engine platform and a cloud business. It is always looking to invest in new technologies, with AI being no exception.The reason investors haven't been overly bullish on the stock (it's down 11% this year) is because there are concerns it may have close ties to the Chinese government, which could impact not just its growth opportunities but it may also lead to problems for the stock down the road. In the past, investors have been concerned that Chinese stocks may be delisted from U.S. exchanges, and the U.S. government looking to ban TikTok due to the Chinese government's influence may only exacerbate those worries.In addition to that, Baidu's growth rate has been a bit soft. In 2023, the company's revenue grew by 9% to just under $19 billion. Ideally, AI investors will want to see a faster growth rate than that to be convinced that a company is truly taking advantage of significant growth opportunities in AI. There is, however, hope that with its chatbot, Ernie, hitting 200 million users, Baidu may have a potential growth catalyst there, which could help accelerate the company's growth rate.Given Baidu's low valuation -- it trades at 10 times itsexpected future earnings-- I could see a path for the stock to hit analyst price targets as it is a great way to invest in the Chinese tech market, and Chinese stocks in general have been undervalued for a while. The stock, does, however, come with some elevated risk and may not be suitable for all types of investors.3. UiPath: 40% upsideUiPath has an automation platform that helps companies create processes that can save them both time and money. It can remember the steps users take and automate them. Unfortunately, despite the potential value it can add for businesses, UiPath's stock has made for an underwhelming investment so far this year, falling by 20% year to date.The company has been generating some encouraging results, posting sales of $405.3 million for the quarter ending Jan. 31, which grew at a rate of 31% year over year. Another positive for the business is that it also posted a profit last quarter totaling $33.9 million, which was a big improvement from the prior-year period when UiPath incurred a net loss of $27.7 million.Analysts believe shares of UiPath could hit $27, rising by 40% from where it is now. That doesn't seem like an unrealistic proposition, given its high growth rate, the opportunities for automation, and the business also posting a profit. With a price-to-earnings-growth ratio of less than 1, the stock could be a bargain buy for long-term investors.Should you invest $1,000 in SoundHound AI right now?Before you buy stock in SoundHound AI, consider this:TheMotley Fool Stock Advisoranalyst team just identified what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy now… and SoundHound AI wasn’t one of them.

sentences: Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for YahooThe stock market could see a 5% gain over the next week, according to Fundstrat's Tom Lee.The rally would be sparked by a dovish Fed FOMC meeting on Wednesday that all but confirms imminent interest rate cuts."These are significant gains, implying the S&P 500 could gain 200-300 points in the next week," Lee said.The stock market is poised to surge as much as 5% in the next week, according to a Wednesday note from Fundstrat.The research firm said it expects an explosive rally in theS&P 500to materialize in the five days following the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting on Wednesday.While the Fed isnot expected to cut interest rates at its July FOMC meeting,it is expected to signal that a rate cut is all but certain when it meets again in September."The key premise is the Fed is likely to commit to a September rate cut of at least 25bp. A possibility of more than that is not necessary. And while bond markets have priced in 100% probability of this, equity investors likely will not be convinced until the Fed affirms this as such," Fundstrat's Tom Lee said.Thenear certainty of a rate cut from the Fedin September should spark a risk-on rally for stocks, especially given that theNasdaq 100has already experienced a near-10% correctionin recent weeks, according to the note."Overall, we believe risk-on moment is coming," Lee said.Lee's confidence in a strong rally post-Fed meeting is based on the fact that recent Fed meetings have sparked a big rally in stocks.In the past two years, when stocks were down heading into a Fed FOMC meeting, stocks saw a five-day gain of as much as 5.5% and a median gain of 3.4%."These are significant gains, implying the S&P 500 could gain 200-300 points in the next week. This is very compelling in our view," Lee said.And while a 25 basis point interest rate cut may not seem like much, it has real-world economic impacts that could ultimately influence the US housing market in a big way."Here are some tangible reasons a Fed cut makes sense: 30-year mortgage has excess spread to 10-year due to uncertainty. The spread could shrink from 270 basis points to 170 basis points (50-year average)," Lee explained.Interest rate cuts from the Fed, however small, would also help alleviate an ongoing slowdown in the housing, durables, and auto markets, Lee said.A 5% rally in the S&P 500 would catapult the index to fresh record highs, completely erasing its 5% decline over the past few weeks.Read the original article onBusiness Insider, AMBALA, India (Reuters) - Indian farmers demanding higher prices for their crops will postpone a planned protest march to New Delhi until unions hold another round of talks with government ministers on Sunday.

Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda, who met farmers' representatives on Thurdsay along with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, said the talks were "positive".

"We have decided that the next meeting to take the discussion forward will take place on Sunday at 6 pm...We believe we will all find a solution together peacefully," he told reporters following Thursday's meeting.

Protest leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal also told reporters the farmers would hold off their march for now.

"When the meetings have started, if we move forward (towards Delhi) then how will meetings happen?" Dallewal told reporters, adding that the protest "will continue peacefully".

Thousands of farmers had embarked on the "Delhi Chalo", or "Let's go to Delhi" march earlier this week to press the government to set a minimum price for their produce, but they were stopped by security forces about 200 kms (125 miles) away from the capital, triggering clashes.

The protests erupted a few months before India is due to hold national elections in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a third term. Farmers form an influential voting bloc.

The farmers remained camped on the border between Punjab and Haryana states on Friday. Security forces have used concrete and metal barricades, as well as drones carrying tear gascanisters, to stop them for advancing.

The protest comes two years after Modi's government, following a similar protest movement, repealed some farm laws and promised to find ways to ensure support prices for all produce.

(Writing by Sakshi Dayal; editing by Miral Fahmy), Specialized Consumer Services Stocks Q2 Results: Benchmarking Frontdoor (NASDAQ:FTDR)Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q2 behind us, let’s have a look at Frontdoor (NASDAQ:FTDR) and its peers.Some consumer discretionary companies don’t fall neatly into a category because their products or services are unique.
