STOCKS TO WATCH

Results
• Barclays Plc: The lender reported a record annual profit for 2021 and returned 2.5 billion pounds to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, as bad loan charges plunged and its investment bank continued its strong recent performance. Barclays reported a pretax profit of 8.4 billion pounds, above analyst expectations and nearly tripled from 3.1 billion pounds a year ago. Barclays said it would buy back 1 billion pounds of its own shares and pay out a full-year dividend of 4 pence per share, resulting in a total payout for the year of 2.5 billion pounds when added to earlier payouts. Barclays said its investment bank delivered its strongest ever profit of 5.8 billion pounds, thanks to a 34% increase in fees from advising on deals such as mergers and fundraising, offsetting a 16% decline in markets income.

• BRF SA: The Brazilian food processor turned a profit in the final quarter of 2021, traditionally a good period for food sales due to the holiday season, helping it secure its third consecutive year in the black. BRF posted a 932 million reais gain in the fourth quarter, up 3.3% from the same year-ago period, it said in an earnings statement on Tuesday. The result was bolstered by a nearly 20% rise in net revenue, to 13.7 billion reais in the quarter, although cost pressures and declining consumer confidence in Brazil, where it derives most of its sales by volume, hurt the business.

• Diamondback Energy Inc: The U.S. shale oil producer on Tuesday reported higher-than-expected fourth-quarter profit and boosted its dividend to shareholders as fuel prices hit multi-year highs on stronger energy demand. Diamondback said it would increase its annual dividend by 20% to $2.40 per share, mirroring rivals' moves to increase shareholder returns as oil profits soar. Diamondback on Tuesday also said Steven West will step down as chairman but remain on its board. Chief Executive Travis Stice will add chairman duties, the company said. Diamondback's adjusted income jumped to $657 million, or $3.63 per share, in the quarter, from $130 million, or 82 cents per share, a year earlier. Wall Street analysts had expected earnings of $3.38 per share.

• HollyFrontier Corp: The refiner reported a narrower quarterly loss, helped by a sustained recovery in demand for fuel and refined products from the pandemic-driven lows. Refinery gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $8.70 per produced barrel, a 116% increase from $4.02 in the year-ago period. The company said net loss attributable to stockholders came in at $39.5 million, or 24 cents per share, for the fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $117.7 million, or 73 cents per share, a year earlier.

• Lowe's Cos Inc: The U.S. home improvement chain lifted its full-year sales and profit forecast, as home improvement retailers benefit from resilient demand for tools and building materials. Lowe's same-store sales rose 5% in the fourth quarter ended Jan. 28, compared to analysts' estimates of a 3.1% increase. In comparison, Home Depot reported an 8.1% rise in same-store sales on Tuesday. Lowe's also said it expects its annual gross profit margins to be up slightly from last year, a more optimistic forecast than its outlook in December when it forecast 2022 margins to be roughly flat. Lowe's said it expects fiscal year 2022 total sales of $97 billion to $99 billion, compared to a previous forecast of $94 billion to $97 billion. The company forecast full-year earnings per share of $13.10 to $13.60, above its previous outlook of $12.25 to $13.

• MercadoLibre Inc: The South American e-commerce giant missed analysts' forecasts after posting a fourth quarter net loss on Tuesday, despite a surge in sales. The company reported a quarterly net loss of $46.1 million, missing the mean Refinitiv forecast of $54.04 million net income. The Nasdaq-listed Argentine company's gross merchandise volume, a widely watched figure for the e-commerce industry's performance, rose 21% from a year earlier to $8 billion. The company, present in 18 countries including Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, posted a more than 11.1% rise in active users in the quarter, to 82.2 million. MercadoLibre's net revenue rose 56% in Brazil and 60.5% in Latin America, to $2.1 billion for the quarter.

• Nu Holdings Ltd: Investors welcomed a narrower fourth-quarter loss at the Latin America's most valuable fintech, which added new clients and sold more products. The digital bank, which listed its shares in New York in December, posted a net loss of $66.2 million, down from a $107.1 million a year earlier. Nubank, backed by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, said its revenue more than tripled to $635.9 million from a year earlier, well above a Refinitiv consensus of $393.76 million. Its monthly revenue per active client reached $5.60, up $2.30 from the previous quarter, boosted by new products. Costs per client fell to 90 cents a month from $1.10.

• Rio Tinto Plc: The Anglo-Australian miner posted its best ever annual profit and a record full-year dividend of $16.8 billion, boosted by higher iron ore prices and strong demand from top consumer China. The company reported underlying earnings of $21.38 billion for the year ended Dec. 31, up 72% from a year earlier. Analysts had expected underlying earnings of $21.63 billion, according to Visible Alpha. Rio Tinto declared a final special dividend of 62 cents a share and a final dividend of $4.17, higher than the year earlier final dividend of $3.09, taking its total 2021 dividend to a record $10.40 a share.

• Stellantis NV: Stellantis made a fast start in its first year after the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA, with the world's No.4 carmaker reporting profitability and benefits from the combination both ahead of target. The group said the margin on its adjusted operating profit was 11.8% in 2021, above its target of around 10%, thanks to strong progress on synergies, which generated around 3.2 billion euros in net cash benefits. Stellantis guided for a double-digit margin again this year. The pro-forma figure for 2020 was 6.9%. Margins in North America climbed to a record 16.3% last year. The group, which generated an industrial free cash flow of over 6 billion euros last year, proposed to pay out 3.3 billion euros in ordinary dividends, equal to 1.05 euros per share.

• Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc: The space tourism company on Tuesday posted a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss and said its cash position had improved. The company founded by billionaire Richard Branson held about $931 million in cash as of Dec. 31, compared with $679 million a year earlier. The figure excludes the $425 million it raised last month through a debt offering to help fund the launch of its commercial service, which is set to start later this year. It posted a loss of 31 cents per share in the fourth quarter to Dec. 31, compared with estimates of a 35 cents per share loss. That was helped by labor efficiencies and the postponement of certain non-critical work. Total revenue came in at $141,000, below expectations of $331,000.

In Other News
• Apple Inc: Some U.S. tech giants may prefer to pay a fine rather than comply with antitrust rules, the European Union's antitrust chief said, and cited Apple's fight with the Netherlands' competition authority as an example. The Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) imposed a 5-million-euro fine on Apple on Monday, the fifth such penalty in successive weeks, linked to claims Apple does allow access to non-Apple payment methods for subscriptions to dating apps. European Commission Vice President and digital chief Margrethe Vestager said Apple's behaviour could indicate other big companies behave similarly.

• Baxter International Inc: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday announced charges and an $18 million penalty against medtech firm Baxter International for engaging in "improper intra-company foreign exchange transactions" resulting in the misstatement of its net income. The SEC also announced settled charges against Baxter's former treasurer and assistant treasurer, Scott Bohaboy and Jeffrey Schaible, respectively, for their misconduct related to these transactions.

• GlaxoSmithKline Plc & Sanofi SA: Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline said they intend to submit data from their booster and Phase III efficacy trials as the basis for regulatory applications for a COVID-19 vaccine. "We're very pleased with these data, which confirm our strong science and the benefits of our COVID-19 vaccine. The Sanofi-GSK vaccine demonstrates a universal ability to boost all platforms and across all ages," said Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president for Sanofi Vaccines. The two companies had surprised investors at the end of December by delaying data on their COVID-19 booster candidate to this year.

• Kodiak Sciences Inc: The company said its experimental eye drug did not meet the main goal of a mid-to-late-stage trial, failing to show it was not inferior compared to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' Eylea. The drug was being tested in 559 patients with wet macular degeneration, a chronic eye disorder that causes blurred vision or blind spots. While the trial showed the experimental drug, codenamed KSI-301, was safe, it did not improve the vision of the patients as compared to Eylea.

• Meta Platforms Inc: Facebook did not add labels to half of posts pushing content from top climate change deniers, according to an analysis from the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The research also follows news that lawyers for Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen have filed a new complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this month claiming the company misled investors about its efforts to tackle climate change and COVID-19 misinformation. The UK-based Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) in a report last November identified a list of 10 digital publishers whose articles it said accounted for about 69% of Facebook interactions with climate denial articles, dubbed the "Toxic Ten." This week, CCDH said that in an analysis of 184 posts pushing articles featuring climate denial content from these publishers, 50.5% of posts did not have information labels. CCDH said it had analyzed posts published between May 2021 and January 2022, after Meta announced its labeling feature had been rolled out to a number of countries including the United States.

• Ovintiv Inc: The shale producer is looking to hire an investment bank to consider options for its acreage in the Uinta basin of Utah, as it looks to cash in on a boom in energy prices to cut debt, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. A full or partial sale would be among the options for Ovintiv, one of the top producers in the Uinta basin, the sources said, adding that a sale of the assets could fetch around $1 billion. No final decision has been made about the assets and Ovintiv could still decide to retain them, the sources cautioned. They requested anonymity as the discussions are confidential. An Ovintiv spokesperson said the company does not comment on potential or rumored acquisition or divestiture activity.

• Tesla Inc: The company plans to expand parts production at its Shanghai factory to meet growing demand for exports, according to a document it filed with the city government. The automaker will add production workshops, increase the number of workers and lengthen the time equipment is operational, the document. Tesla's Shanghai factory currently has the capacity to produce a combined 450,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles a year.

• United Parcel Service Inc: The world's No. 1 logistics company lost its court fight for a record $2 billion compensation claim from EU antitrust regulators for blocking its 2013 bid for Dutch rival TNT. The European Commission had stopped UPS' planned 5.2-billion-euro acquisition of TNT because it had not offered enough remedies to allay concerns that the deal would hurt consumers. UPS subsequently challenged the decision in court, won and then sued the EU executive for compensation for the harm allegedly suffered as a result of the EU veto. The court also turned down compensation claims from ASL Aviation Holdings DA and ASL Airlines (Ireland) Ltd, two UPS subcontractors that had clinched commercial deals with TNT to be performed after the approval of the merger between UPS and TNT.

• Wells Fargo & Co: Wells Fargo said on Tuesday U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Labor, are reviewing certain transactions in the bank's 401(k) plan. The fourth-largest U.S. bank said in a filing that federal government agencies "are reviewing certain transactions associated with the employee stock ownership plan feature of the company's 401(k) plan, including the manner in which the 401(k) plan purchased certain securities used in connection with the company's contributions to the 401(k) plan." 401(k) plans are retirement packages offered by American companies to their employees.

Ukraine jolt sees more consensus trades hits the skids : Mike Dolan
The new year is proving unkind to the global investor consensus yet again and low visibility now becomes a major problem. As simmering Russia-Ukraine tensions boiled over this week, big bets on emerging market and euro zone stocks look to be going the same way as 2022's other hot tip - the overwhelmingly bullish U.S. dollar view.


ANALYSTS' RECOMMENDATION
• American Equity Investment Life Holding Co: Piper Sandler cuts target price to $44 from $46, to reflect lower EPS estimates for the company.

• Coinbase Global Inc: JPMorgan cuts target price to $345 from $447, citing lower expected crypto returns and higher risks in crypto markets.

• Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc: RBC cuts target price to $24 from $26, as the company’s lower than expected FY22 guidance reflects headwinds.

• ​Workiva Inc: Baird cuts target price to $150 from $190, based on valuation concerns on SaaS generally.

Goedemorgen,

Een zeer volatiele sessie met volop beweging op de markten, Wall Street deed weer mee dinsdag na een feestdag maandag. We zien wel dat Europa dinsdag de verliezen wist te beperken, de AEX sloot zelfs in de plus na de diepe val in de ochtend. Ook vandaag verwacht ik bewegingen op het nieuws, de markt zal nog niet tot rust komen. Hou wel rekening met forse uitslagen in beide richtingen, net zoals dat al een paar dagen aan de gang is.

Update woensdag 23 februari:
Naar omstandigheden viel het verlies dinsdag in Europa mee, de AEX wist zelfs met ruim 2 punten winst de sessie af te sluiten op 732 punten. De AEX begon de dag wel met een fors verlies, de laagste stand kwam zelfs uit op 715 punten maar er volgde een stevig herstel eens de bodem er stond. De DAX verloor 38 punten maar gedurende de ochtend stond de DAX nog op een verlies van 380 punten met een bodem op 14.360 punten. Op Wall Street wel opnieuw verlies, de brede S&P 500 daalde dinsdag met 1% tot 4.305 punten terwijl de Dow Jones 1,4% tot net onder de 33.600 punten. De Nasdaq verloor na een volatiele sessie 1,25% op 13.381 punten. Een verdeelde sessie met opnieuw behoorlijke uitslagen, de situatie rondom de Oekraïne zorgt voor veel onzekerheid op de financiële markten zodat beleggers het even niet meer weten.

Het was wel de eerste sessie van de week op Wall Street, maandag bleven de beurzen dicht door President's Day en moesten we het alleen met de futures doen die wel open waren. Zo moest Wall Street nog wat inhalen ten opzichte van Europa en aangezien we hier maandag al een slechte sessie kregen kon Europa de schade beperken. Wel staat de S&P 500 nu al ruim 10% onder de top van 3 januari toen er nog een hoogste stand ooit werd bereikt. Opvallend is dat alle sectoren behalve de energie momenteel een forse correctie doormaken.

Beleggers blijven vooral voorzichtig momenteel met alle onzekerheden waar we mee te maken krijgen. Nu de situatie escaleert in de Oekraïne en we nog altijd te maken hebben met oplopende inflatie en de aankomende verkrapping door de FED blijven de beurzen onder druk staan. De markten zullen daardoor ook de komende weken nog nerveus blijven en moeten we opletten voor nieuwe uitschuivers omlaag die binnen de huidige trend passen. Beleggers zien nu in dat de diplomatieke weg naar een oplossing minder succesvol uitpakt want alles lijkt te zijn omgeslagen naar een echt conflict. We zijn op een punt gekomen waar er geen weg terug is.

De eerste sancties werden al uitgedeeld, de VS kondigde reeds aan dat Amerikanen geen zaken meer mogen doen met de afvallige regio's Donetsk en Loehansk. Duitsland schort de Nord Stream 2 pijplijn op terwijl zowel de VS, Europa en Engeland alle financiële wegen afsluit met deze regio en Rusland. Het evenwicht tussen de markten kan hierdoor uiteraard worden verstoort en daardoor zien we dat de beurzen het moeilijker en moeilijker krijgen momenteel.

Aan de andere kant is het ook zo dat naast deze crisis we snel vergeten dat er nog andere zaken spelen, het verkrappen van het monetaire beleid vormt ook een groot risico vormt voor de aandelenmarkten. Dat speelde al voor dat beleggers de crisis met Rusland echt op de radar hadden staan.

Het zal allemaal wel weer tot rust komen maar nu zitten we in het oog van de storm en blijft de volatiliteit nog wel even aanhouden. Zodra het kan zal ik wel met wat kleine posities komen, wie nog geen lid is kan zich aanmelden via de Tradershop waar er nu een nieuwe aanbieding loopt tot 1 MEI voor €35.

De signaaldiensten:
Vrijdag 11 februari heb ik voor de laatste keer winst kunnen nemen op de short posities die werden op genomen rondom de top, zo loopt het resultaat verder op en dat zonder veel risico door dat ik de posities klein blijf houden. Ik zal er deze maand verder alles aan doen om waar het kan nog wat leuke posities uit te zoeken. Nog steeds met kleine aantallen en met 2 of maximaal 3 posities gelijktijdig.

Marktoverzicht:
Een diepe duik in Europa gevolgd door een forse rally, we weten dat er moet worden opgelet vandaag want ik denk nog niet dat de indices zich snel gaan herpakken voor meerdere dagen. De AEX en de DAX staan nu ver onder hun steun en de bodems werden doorbroken deze week. Voor de AEX was dat de 735 punten, voor de DAX de bekende zone 14.900-15.000 punten. Dinsdag kwamen zowel de AEX als de DAX al heel diep onder hun steunzone terecht en deze bodems moeten we nu goed in de gaten houden.

Wall Street verloor ook fors dinsdag, de Dow zien we al richting de bodemzone terwijl de Nasdaq vrijwel elke dag nieuwe bodems neerzet en dicht bij de bodem van dit jaar sluit. Ook de S&P 500 zakt af richting de bodem, bij een slot onder dat niveau ligt de weg open richting nieuwe en diepere bodems. De markt zit in een zeer slechte fase momenteel.

Dow Jones:
De Dow Jones blijft zwak en zakt terug naar de bodemzone van dit jaar, die zien we rond de 33.250-33.500 punten uitkomen. De Dow mag daar in ieder geval niet onder sluiten de komende dagen. Verder mogen we steun verwachten rond de 33.000 en de 32.500 punten.

Weerstand nu eerst rond de 34.000 punten, later de 34.250 en de 34.750 punten.

AEX index:
De AEX moest dinsdag even heel ver terug en bereikte zelfs de 715 punten net na de start van de sessie. Daar volgde wel een stevig herstel dat de index naar de 732 punten bracht, de index kon zelfs even tot boven de belangrijke 735 punten pieken maar deze zone wordt nu een zware weerstand. Pas echt boven de 735 punten mogen we hopen op een verder herstel richting de 745 of de 755 punten maar dat is nu nog te vroeg.

Steun nu de 728, de zone 718-721 punten en de bodem van gisteren rond de 715 punten.

DAX index:
De DAX moest heel ver terug en zelfs tot rond de 14.350 punten. Het herstel dat daarop volgde bracht de DAX terug tot rond de 14.800 punten met een slot net onder de 14.700 punten. Weerstand nu eerst de 14.800 punten met later de 14.900-15.000 punten zone waar de eerdere bodems uitkomen. Pas boven die 15.000 punten kan de DAX uitbreken maar de markt blijft voorlopig te zwak om daar vanuit te gaan. We weten wel dat alles mogelijk is momenteel.

Steun nu de 14.500 punten met later de bodem van dinsdag rond de 14.350 punten. Onder deze bodem steun rond de 14.000 en de 13.750 punten.

Nasdaq Composite:
De Nasdaq moet opnieuw inleveren, voor de 4e sessie op rij. De bodemzone komt snel in beeld nu, die zien we rond de 13.250 met een piek op 13.100 punten. Onder deze 13.100 punten zien we dat er snel ruimte omlaag wacht tot rond de 12.750 punten en lager.

Weerstand nu eerst de 13.500 punten, later de 13.750 en de 14.000 punten als weerstand.

Overzicht resultaat dit jaar (2021):
