Wix.com Earnings Highlight Strong Growth

Wix.com (NASDAQ:WIX), a leading cloud-based platform for building websites, reported its second-quarter results before market open�on Wednesday. Results highlighted Wix's strong momentum, as revenue came in above the company's guidance and management boosted its outlook for the full year.

The quarter was also notable in terms of profitability. Wix reported record free cash flow, and its non-GAAP net income per share increased from $0.00 in the year-ago quarter to $0.29.

Revenue	$146.1 million	$103.5 million	41%
Free cash flow	$23.9 million	$17.4 million	37%

Data source: Wix.com second-quarter earnings release. Table by author.

What happened with Wix.com this quarter? Wix's $146.1 million in revenue was slightly above management's guidance for revenue between $144 million and $145 million. Collections, or the total cash Wix collects from customers in a given period, increased 37% year over year in Q2. Wix's free cash flow rose sharply despite higher capital expenditures; capex during the quarter was $3.4 million, up from $2.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Wix added 5.8 million registered users during the quarter, bringing total users to 131 million, up 20% year over year. Premium subscriptions increased 28% year over year to 3.7 million. What management had to say

Co-founder and CEO Avishai Abrahami was pleased with the quarter, noting the results were strong and "demonstrate our continued ability to provide users of all kinds who come to Wix with a complete product platform so they can create their dreams online."

Management drew attention to the growing use of Wix Code, where "users across sectors and skill levels are building a wide variety of websites and applications with the product." The Wix Code Forum has garnered more than 35,000 posts and comments, and over 1 million views.

Beyond its second-quarter financial results, Wix.com commented on the company's successful private offering, in which it raised $443 million.

"We also successfully raised $443 million in convertible notes with a 0% coupon," CFO Lior Shemesh said. "This capital raise bolsters our balance sheet and provides us with additional financial flexibility."

Looking forward

For the full year, Wix expects revenue between $597 million and $599 million, up from a previous forecast between $594 million and $597 million. Wix's updated guidance represents year-over-year revenue growth of 40% to 41%. In addition, management expects full-year collections to increase 36% year over year and free cash flow to climb 43% to 46% year over year.

To fully capitalize on the momentum Wix is seeing across its products, management said it plans to "increase penetration of our existing markets and make progress in realizing the benefits of a larger market opportunity" during the second half of the year.

That's an average capital-to-EBITDA multiple of seven times and would only grow Kinder Morgan's EBITDA by 4% per year.

  Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) typically has greater visibility into the future than most companies. That's because it generates the bulk of its earnings from fee-based contracts and usually has a large backlog of fee-based expansion projects in development, which gives it a good idea of what it will earn in five years.

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  Last month, Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) finally gave up on its controversial expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline in Canada by selling the entire system to the Government of Canada for 4.5 billion Canadian dollars ($3.5 billion). As a result, the company will lose out on the opportunity to invest $5.7 billion in expanding the system, which would have generated CA$1.1 billion ($850 million) of annual earnings for the company's Canadian subsidiary Kinder Morgan Canada (TSX:KML). That's a big blow to Kinder Morgan as well, since this one project represented 48% of its capital project backlog.

  Get ready for some big numbers: The world's largest pipeline operator,�Kinder Morgan�(NYSE:KMI), just boosted its dividend by 60%. Yes, you read that right:�sixty percent!�

• [By Chuck Saletta]

  Back in late 2015, energy pipeline giant Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) saw its shares tumble as it cut its dividend in response to a threatened reduction of its debt rating. The company took the next few years to shore up its balance sheet and switch to funding much of its expansion capital needs from internal cash flows instead of relying on the debt market.�

  He opens with a short refresher course on a top educator's fundamental paradigms: Deborah Meier's five habits of mind. For something new, he offers up an essay he's been refining for the past year that speculates about the rise and fall of the strong nation-state and the two trends that will weaken and in some ways supplant it. Under the borrowed banner, he applies a trio of clever quotes to the art of investing.

  For instance, the company recently acquired Juno Therapeutics to get its hands on a pipeline of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell gene therapies (CAR-Ts). CAR-Ts represent one of the biggest recent advances in treating blood cancer, and depending on trial results, the first CAR-T from this collaboration could be filed for approval next year. Similarly, Celgene is partnering with bluebird bio (NASDAQ:BLUE) on bb2121, a CAR-T for multiple myeloma.

Top 5 Tech Stocks To Buy For 2019

tags:HQCL,INXN,EFII,NSP,INTU,

Teen retailer Tilly's (TLYS) saw its stock get crushed after the company reported really ugly holiday quarter numbers. The company missed on both the top and bottom lines, while delivering comparable sales growth that was well short of expectations. The margin expansion narrative also lost some steam in the quarter. Overall, the dour numbers coupled with the subsequent stock price drop make it look like the stock topped in late 2017 and is just beginning what could be a prolonged drop.

We contest this thesis, though, and think that TLYS stock will head higher over the next 12 months. Tax reform makes this stock look about as cheap as it has been in a long time, while growth prospects are actually about as good as they have been in an equally long time. That combination should lead to TLYS stock grinding higher over the next 12 months.

TLYS data by YCharts

The holiday quarter had pretty ugly top-line numbers, which was a shock since peer retailers reported really strong sales numbers for the holiday period. But it looks like the revenue weakness was a result of botched e-commerce operations. Store comparable sales growth was 2.3%, which is actually really strong. The weakness on the revenue front came from e-commerce sales, which dropped 12% due to technical issues causing incomplete orders.

Why Tesla, Facebook, and Micron Technology Slumped Today

Major market benchmarks fell in Tuesday's shortened session ahead of the July 4 holiday, giving back earlier gains as investors weighed the impact of new tariffs set to be imposed on Chinese goods at the end of the week.

But several individual stocks had outsize declines. Read on to learn why Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) slumped today.

Is Tesla's Model 3 success sustainable?

Shares of Tesla skidded 7.2% as investors doubted whether the electric vehicle maker's recent Model 3 production milestone is sustainable.

The market initially cheered yesterday when Tesla revealed it had finally met its goal of producing over 5,000 Model 3 sedans in a week. Furthermore, CEO Elon Musk stated the company is on pace to produce 6,000 Model 3s per week by the end of next month.�

This morning, however, Reuters reported that Tesla's Model 3 success may be coming at the expense of its larger Model S and X production targets. According to employees, Tesla borrowed employees from its other departments late in the week, made weekend shifts mandatory, and even set up a new Model 3 line in recent weeks under a massive tent outside the main factory.�

A separate report from Business Insider�also indicated that Musk ordered employees to remove a standard brake test that Model 3 vehicles must normally complete to move through production -- though BI also noted that it's not clear why or for how long the test was stopped.

Tesla has responded to insist each vehicle undergoes "rigorous quality checks," including brake checks, before production is complete.

Facebook is under the government's microscope

Facebook stock fell 2.4% in the wake of a�Washington Post report�that a federal probe into its sharing of user information has expanded to include not only the Federal Trade Commission, but also the FBI, the SEC, and the U.S. Justice Department.�

The probe is focusing on what Facebook knew when it learned in 2015 that data-analysis firm Cambridge Analytica had improperly accessed Facebook users' data, and why it didn't disclose the issue publicly until earlier this year.

This doesn't mean Facebook has done anything wrong. The company has, after all, confirmed it is cooperating with each government agency. But it's hardly surprising to see the stock pulling back on news of the widened probe.

Micron's patent-case setback

Finally, shares of Micron fell 5.5% after a Chinese court ruled in favor of rival United Microelectronics Corporation�in ongoing patent infringement lawsuits filed against the Idaho-based memory chip specialist earlier this year.

As such, according to UMC this morning, a preliminary injunction has been issued against Micron covering DRAM and NAND-related products in China, including certain solid-state hard drives and memory sticks.�

"UMC is pleased with today's decision," stated UMC Co-President Jason Wang. "UMC invests heavily in its intellectual property and aggressively pursues any company that infringes UMC's patents."

Micron, for its part, is preparing its response to the ruling. But investors are understandably concerned considering Micron generated more than half its total sales in the Middle Kingdom last year.

Hot Blue Chip Stocks To Buy For 2018

A few weeks ago we discussed how you can make 12% annually, forever, from stocks. Now let’s apply those lessons to 2017, and highlight five that should do even better (17%+ returns) this year (and likely beyond).

Remember, projecting our returns from any given stock is simple. We simply add together the three ways it can pay us:

Its current dividend.

A future dividend hike.

Share repurchases.

It also helps if the stock is inexpensive, as buybacks deliver more bang for management’s buck. So let’s stick with stocks that are dirt-cheap, trading for 10-times free cash flow (FCF) or less for this exercise.

Here’s an example of a stock ready to return 17% or more over the next year. Blue chip refiner Valero (VLO) has a great management team that knows how to make money no matter what happens with energy prices.
