Microchip Technology Action Forum

I came up with a crazy idea and I wanted to share my work with you. I decided to organize my watchlist according to different criteria. The best stock gets 10 points and the worst gets 1 point. It is important to mention that this is a snapshot and can change at any time.

The criteria were:

- Market value (the higher the better as with the s&p)

- 52W low difference

- 52W high difference (at least 15 percent 52 w of high)

- Wallstreet rating ( strong buy )

- Price Target Difference

- Z score

- Sales forecast for the next 5 years

- EPS forecast for the next 5 years

- Forward PE ( the lower the better )

- ROIC ( the higher the better)

- Gross profit margin ( the higher the better)

- Net margin ( the higher the better)

-FCF margin ( the higher the better)

- Profit per employee ( the higher the better)

- PEG Ratio ( the lower the better)

- Beta (the lower the better)

- FCF Yield (the higher the better)

- Earning Yield ( the higher the better)

- Current ratio ( the higher the better)

-Short ratio ( the lower the better)

- Quick ratio ( the higher the better)

- Debit / EBITDA (the lower the better)

Place 1- $LRCX

2nd place $SNPS (-2,03 %)

3rd place 3- $NOVO B (+0,73 %)

Place 4- $MCHP (-1 %)

5th place $REGN (+1,11 %)

Place 6- $MCK (+1,7 %)

ATTENTION: many industries cannot be compared directly, which is why, for example, gastronomy providers perform relatively poorly in such a test or the transportation sector such as ODFL. Here you can only compare shares from the same sector.

I would be very interested to know what you think of my approach? What can be done better here to achieve even more accurate results? Which criteria would you use and which not?

I am very curious about your feedback.

Thank you very much in advance 😘

Nvidia ($NVD (-0,03 %)) - In after-hours trading yesterday, NVIDIA shares were able to make strong gains, driven by high demand for chips for data centers and computer games. In the past quarter, NVIDIA reported an 84 percent increase in profits to $2.46 billion. Among other applications, NVIDIA's technology is used for artificial intelligence applications, graphics cards and data center chips. NVIDIA is considering plans to buy British chip designer Arm, whose technology is in almost all smartphones, despite concerns from competition authorities. Based on Arm's chip architecture, companies including Apple ($APC (+0,65 %)), Samsung ($SSUN (+0,89 %)) and Qualcomm ($QCI (-0,3 %)) design their own processors for mobile devices.

thyssenkrupp ($TKA (-3,23 %)) - Steel group thyssenkrupp beat expectations for the past fiscal year 2020/21 (ending September) with significant growth and benefited from the economic recovery. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes came to 769 million euros. However, shareholders will again have to do without a dividend this year. The Group expects mid-single-digit percentage growth and around a doubling of adjusted EBIT to between 1.5 and 1.8 billion euros and net income of at least 1 billion euros for the recently launched new fiscal year.

Bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (+0,23 %)) - Recent data shows that bitcoin holders who bought for $20,000 are refusing to sell BTC at all-time highs. Despite tempting triple gains, last November's buyers are determined to continue with the "hodl" strategy. BTC buyers hold their nerve and hold their coins despite various all-time highs.

Peru - The president of Peru's central bank (Julio Velarde) has announced that the country is working with India, Singapore and Hong Kong to develop a central bank digital currency (CBDC). According to the Atlantic Council, 87 countries (accounting for more than 90% of global GDP) are currently researching a CBDC, and seven have already launched their own. By comparison, only 35 countries have considered developing a CBDC in the 2020 mail.

Fluence ($4SVE (+4,26 %)) - Fluence Energy recently filed a draft of its IPO prospectus, making a big move to the Nasdaq technology exchange. Fluence is developing lithium-ion batteries to store energy. This is intended to balance the power grid, which is gradually being fed with fluctuating renewable energy.

At the beginning of the year, Fluence was valued at more than $1 billion. Siemens ($SIE (-2,51 %)) holds 43% of the shares.

Apple ($APC (+0,65 %)) - Chip shortages are now bringing the smartphone giant to its knees. It should have produced 90 million units of the new iPhone 13 by Christmas. According to Bloomberg, this figure will be lower. The reason for this is supply bottlenecks of chips from Texas Instruments ($TII (+2,43 %)) and Broadcom ($1YD (+1,15 %)), which are responsible for the display power supply of the new smartphone, among other things.

In this context, the iPhone represents the group's flagship, which is responsible for 50% of sales.

TeamViewer ($TMV (+2,46 %)) - A cooperation with Google ($GGQA) is intended to make the German company's augmented reality glasses marketable. TeamViewer's application allows retailers to directly reorder items by interacting with the products displayed in the glasses. In doing so, the glasses are connected to the retailer's order processing system to display current inventory levels. The cooperation with Google is seen as a beacon of hope for Teamviewer, as the company's share price has fallen by around 60% since the beginning of the year due to disappointing figures.

Crypto is going greener - Ripple and Nelnet ($NIJ (-7,89 %)) have announced they are launching a renewable energy fund. This is expected to save about 1.5 million tons of carbon emissions in the U.S., which is roughly equivalent to the consumption of 583 million liters of gasoline. Ripple therefore invested $44 million in Nelnet's solar energy fund, but further investments are to follow.

Ken Weber, head of social impact, also announced that more projects will be set up to further reduce the crypto industry's carbon footprint.
