🌻這星期, 比較引起我注意的就是這幾個新聞了

☘️美國支付公司PayPal(PYPL)宣布，將以3000億日圓（27億美元）收購日本新創公司Paidy，以強化自家「先買後付」（BNPL）產品。

熟悉美股的讀者, 應該對BNPL不陌生了. PayPal這舉動, 其實也強化了跟Amazon的關係:
(from Morgan Stanley)
Provides potential for initial relationship with AMZN in Japan: We think the deal is most notable for giving PYPL its first entry into AMZN's large ecosystem, which PYPL has been trying to gain access to for some time. Paidy began providing BNPL services for AMZN in Japan in November 2019, and after the deal closes, PYPL should have a clear path to eventually sell some of its other core services to AMZN in Japan.

☘️lululemon(LULU)昨天(台灣周四凌晨)發表財報了, 股價跳漲10.47%.

Morgan Stanley:
We highlight margin expansion as particularly impressive against 1) higher eCommerce penetration, which has historically resulted in EBIT margin degradation for many other specialty retail peers, 2) the acquisition of MIRROR, which has not yet achieved profitability, & 3) already best-in-class historical operating margin levels. While some macro factors like lean industry-wide inventory levels may be partially supporting these results, in our view they point to a higher & more profitable growth trajectory for the business compared to the outlook pre-Covid. As such, though LULU’s P/E multiple sits at 46x, above the high end of its pre-Covid 18-41x range, we view current levels as merited against higher future growth & profitability. In our view, this may represent a more permanent valuation re-rating for LULU, & the stock likely continues to trade at elevated levels until results prove otherwise.

🌻Alphabet(GOOGL)今年的表現為什麼那麼亮眼?
今年最會漲的FAANG個股之一, 就是GOOGL了. 如果有在follow這家公司的讀者, 應該有發現他們的營收結構跟過去幾年很不一樣了(可以看下面的表格). YouTube以及Cloud業務成為新的營收成長動能.

【$OLO Q2’21 財報分析 : 與預期一致的季度，未來能否有持續性的高成長率仍有待觀察】

#OLO

🔖 Olo Q2'21 的營收介於 Gamma 預測及賣方共識預期之間。non-GAAP EBIT 及 non-GAAP EPS 則與我們的預期一致。

🔖 在這個時間點，Gamma 看到 Q2'21 是一個 YoY 年成長率的反轉點。為了去支撐現在的估值，我們想要看到超過 40% 的持續性營收成長率。現在還尚不清楚 OLO 能否回到這個水平的成長趨勢。

【$DDOG Q2’21 財報分析：市場很明顯地低估了該司在產品線上的擴張速度】

#DDOG
#財報季

🔖 Datadog Q2’21 的營收為 233.5 百萬美元，這高於 Gamma 預期的 4.1%。較高的營收也直接帶動更高的 non-GAAP EBIT 及 non-GAAP EPS

🔖 DDOG 在大型企業客戶的擴展上在過去三個季度的表現都非常好。雖然 $DDOG 並沒有揭露確切的 DBNRR (他們在電話會議中會說超過某個數字，但並沒有給確切的數字)，但是 Gamma 認為 $DDOG 的 DBNRR 有在改善的趨勢。
