Many companies will China close in 2020?

workers

Starting in March, all walks of life in China began to resume work. People stayed at home for more than two months. Many people's moods changed from tension to leisure, and now they are anxious.

 It's not just the bosses who are anxious. Many employees find that their rents and mortgages are still being paid, the holidays are extended, they can't go to work, and their salaries aren't.

Whenever there is no money it is a big problem.

More than 700 companies closed down in February, but getting fewer wages is also better than the company suddenly closing down. In February, more than 700 companies have closed down, and this number should be exceeded. 

Statistics show that more than 55% of catering businesses in China have resumed work, but compared to the same period last year, affected by the epidemic, 78% of catering companies have lost more than 100% of their operating income, and another 16% of them have lost over 70%. 

This year's sudden outbreak, the impact of the catering industry is the first. Many companies have also begun to say that the pressure for long-term closure is too great, and various costs are making it impossible to sustain cash flow.

For those small and medium-sized enterprises with ordinary operating conditions, it is even more difficult to operate under the impact of this epidemic, and not only the worried bosses but also the employees who need to make money to support their families and even repay their loans. At present, in the catering industry that is most affected by the epidemic situation, the shop staff is implemented in batches to resume work. It is understood that some companies pay wages only as a guarantee.

However, affected by the epidemic, some industries have benefited instead. Everyone was confined to the home, and the takeaway industry became just needed. In the past two months, the value of catering takeaway transactions and orders in major cities across the country has increased significantly. 

To prevent cash flow problems, many catering companies, which have not done delivery before, have now started delivery services, such as time-limited take-out and fresh delivery. Due to restrictions on going out, people’s desire for consumption has not decreased but has increased. Few people even started to hoard food and some necessities.

Beginning in March, various industries began to resume work, and the catering, retail, and transportation industries began to resume operations. The resumption of work is to restore production and economy, not to say that the epidemic has passed, so all industries and industries have established standards and requirements for resumption of work. 

Relative to the recovery of production, the recovery of consumption is lagging, so the second quarter of this year is very important. The second quarter can get out of the predicament and the stable development in the second half of the year!

I believe that the most difficult time in China has passed and everything will be fine!

Ark Invest’s underlying logic and news about the latest Tesla ( TSLA ) valuation. Ark Invest's underlying logic, Next is what Cathie Wood said in an interview with Bloomberg. "We have been paying attention to the fluctuation of stock prices, but our investment period is 5 years. When we experience a callback like this, the fund sector rotates very fast. I am very happy that the bull market is now expanding to other types of stocks. In 2016 At the end of the year, the share price of value stocks took off, and they were far away from growth stocks. Whenever I saw such a signal, I would say: Very good! This shows that the funds of the bull market are spreading to other stocks. This is good news.

Investors have begun to switch back to traditional growth stocks

 On Thursday, the stock prices of Cisco, Alphabet, and IBM hit new highs. But more importantly, the previously unpopular speculative growth stocks, including stocks bought by many ARK funds, have now begun to rebound.  How is this going?  Investors' perspective on the market is changing. In the first quarter of this year, mainstream voices in the market believe that the economy will restart strongly, bond yields will rise, and inflation may become a problem later this year. After the end of the first quarter, these expectations were only partially fulfilled.  The U.S. economy has indeed restarted strongly, but bond yields fell in the first quarter instead of rising because investors began to believe:  1) Inflation and supply chain disruption may indeed be "temporary", as the Fed insists;  2) The second and third quarters will be the highest points of stock returns and economic growth.  Alec Young, a chief investment officer of Tactical Alpha, said: “...

Intel(INTC) stock forecast 2025  Several important data on Intel's earnings report beat expectations.  Among them, earnings per share were US$1.28, higher than the expected US$1.06, an increase of 12% over the same period last year; total revenue was US$18.5 billion, beating analysts’ expectations of US$17.8 billion.  However, in Intel's guidance for the next quarter, the Non-GAAP gross profit margin given is only 55%, which is far lower than the market's expected 59.2%.  The reason given by Intel is that it is worried that supply chain problems will limit profitability, and the expected chip manufacturing business will bring additional costs.  For chip companies, the market is most concerned about gross profit margin.  TSMC fell last week b...

3 Chinese technology stocks forecast 2025: JD PDD and BZUN

  Forget Alibaba(BABA)!  These 3 Chinese technology stocks are more worth buying      Hello everyone, Alibaba is China's largest e-commerce and cloud company. From January to late May, Alibaba's market value has shrunk by nearly 10%, lagging behind many peers.  Antitrust investigations in China, stricter auditing standards in the United States, and funding from growth stocks to value stocks have all dragged down Alibaba's stock price.      Alibaba’s stock is trading at an expected price-to-earnings ratio of 18 times, which may seem cheap, but analysts still expect Alibaba’s earnings to fall by 3% this year because it has absorbed a record US$2.75 billion in antitrust fines.  It also needs to stop exclusive deals with big brands, which may weaken the company's defenses against smaller e-commerce markets.      But this is not all. Alibaba may be forced to divest media assets and share user data with the government, and the group's financial technology su...
