Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Disney, on the other hand, is more diverse. Shutdowns of its theme parks and cruise line hurt their bottom line, but their streaming service keeps knocking it out of the park and will make up that shortfall. Also, the House of the Mouse will raise subscription fees in the new year. More revenue. With the kids stuck at home this winter, subs should hold strong for a while longer. After Memorial Day, though, those numbers may plateau or start to decline, but then Disneylands around the world will re-open. The streamer, Disney+, may take a hit, but the theme parks will absorb it. Read Battle of the Stocks: Proven Tech Stocks to Buy in 2021 for our full analysis.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Uber stock hit an all-time low of $25.58, a brutal 43% plunge below its IPO price. Uber stock didn’t return to $45 until the first week of November. Since then, the driving-service company has performed well, touching $55 on Nov. 30. In fact, it’s doing too well, and I suggest buying this on a 5-10% pullback.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The future of Zoom looks less rosy. Since hitting $568.34 on Oct. 19, Zoom has plunged 29% to just below $300. The Nov. 10 close of $376.01 suggests a floor, but each time there’s positive vaccine news, ZM takes a hit. Will people continue to use Zoom in 2021’s reopening? Yes, but not to the degree as they are in 2020. That’s my bet. Read The Truth About ABNB’s Worth and Caution on IPOs for our full analysis.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks At the start of the pandemic, the company’s valuation stood at $18 billion (all figures USD). Then, the IPO was going to be priced at $56-60, which meant a $28 billion valuation. So far so good. Then, the company bumped up the debut price to $68. At the end of its IPO, ABNB was worth $101.6 billion. It’s reasonable to expect that Airbnb will thrive in next year’s reopening and it’s fair to expect tourism to bounce back (huge, I think). However, Airbnb never turned a profit before Covid, and in fact has accumulated $2.1 billion in losses since its 2008 birth. The company reported $697 million in losses during the first nine months of 2020. Read The Truth About ABNB’s Worth and Caution on IPOs for our full analysis.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks TTWO itself warns that its revenue will flatten and net income to decline 4%, although net bookings could increase 5-9%. Further, TTWO stock trades at a 44x PE, higher than its peers, and doesn’t pay a divvy. As of this writing, the stock is making a 52-week high of $184, though the entire space is rallying too. This is just $7 shy of its price target. TTWO stock will likely reach that, but I don’t see much upside here. That high PE gives me pause. If you own this already, take come profits. Otherwise, there are better gaming stocks to play. Read 4 More Alluring Gaming Stocks for the Win for our full analysis.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Corsair stock had a so-so debut in late-September at an initial stock price of $15, it has since topped $51. Beware: like many tech IPO's this fall, Corsair stock suffers manic-depressive swings, like Black Friday when it plunged 9.42%, while Activision rallied 2.13%. Unlike many tech IPO's, Corsair is already profitable. Also, its first reporter quarter saw a slam-dunk: an EPS of 52 cents blowing past the street's 26%. The average price targer at $31.56 and the two analysts who follow Corsair stock rank it an outperform. Read 3 Epic Video Game Stocks to Play! for our full analysis.

However, NXP offered upbeat guidance of $2.45 billion in revenues for Q4, up 6% YOY. Like anything in e-cars, NXP has run up in the last month, so this is one to buy on a 5-10% pullback.
