Kimberly Clark’s (KMB) shares have lagged staples as the market remains concerned about moderating POS trends in Dec/Jan and commodities; however, we see an upside to Street 4Q20 and ’21/’22 ests. w/commodity inflation reasonably reflected at current spots and view the bar as low into the print w/KMB trading at 16x P/E (30% discount to HPC peers vs. 20% hist. avg.),” noted Kevin Grundy, equity analyst at Jefferies, who rated the paper products giant “Buy” and set the price target at $152.

MICROSOFT: The global technology giant is expected to report a profit of $1.64 in the fiscal second quarter, which represents year-over-year growth of about 8.6% from the same quarter last year when the company reported $1.51 per share.
The world’s largest software maker’s revenue is forecasts come at $40.23, up from the $36.91 billion reported the same quarter a year earlier.
“Q2 results likely highlight the durability of Microsoft‘s commercial businesses and conservatism in forward consensus expectations. After clearing tough Q2 product cycle comps and lingering COVID-19 impacts, strong secular positioning and an attractive multiple make Microsoft (MSFT) a top stock for the recovery,” said Keith Weiss, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.
“At 26x CY22e GAAP EPS, MSFT trades at a premium to the S&P, warranted due to MSFT‘s premium return profile. Multiple expansion will likely come from gaining comfort in the durability of commercial business gross profit dollars.”

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: APPLE, TESLA, FACEBOOK
APPLE: The consumer electronics giant is expected to report profit growth of more than 12% of $1.41 in the fiscal first quarter of 2021 on sales of $102.61 billion, highlighted growth of over 11% from the year-ago quarter. That growth is largely driven by a strong demand iPhone handset, Mac computers, iPad tablets and wearables in the holiday season.
“Our December quarter revenue of $108.2B is 5% above consensus, while our EPS of $1.50 is 7% above consensus. We expect demand strength to continue and our FY21 revenue and EPS estimates are both 5% above consensus,” wrote Katy Huberty, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.
“Given positioning into the quarter is muted after the rotation out of high-quality stocks over the past several months, we expect strong follow-through post-earnings and are buyers into the print. We also raise our price target to $152, from $144, as we mark our price target to market accounting for recent peer multiple expansion.”
TESLA: The California-based electric vehicle and clean energy company is expected to report a profit of $1.04 in the fourth quarter of 2020, posting a profit for the sixth straight quarter. The manufacturer of high-performance electric vehicles’ revenue is forecast to surge about 35% to $10 billion.
“A double-fly-wheel. We believe Tesla can leverage its cost leadership in EVs to aggressively expand its user base, over time generating a higher % of revenue from recurring/high-margin services revenue. Services drive the upside. We forecast Tesla’s (TSLA) network services EBITDA as a % of total TSLA EBITDA to reach 11% by 2025, 19% by 2030 and 37% by 2040. Tesla Service revenue includes automated driving, infotainment, upgrades, supercharging, maintenance, telematics, etc.,” said Adam Jonas, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.
“Valuation supportive vs. tech. Including Network Services, Energy & Insurance to our core auto forecasts, at $810 Tesla trades at 25x EV/EBITDA in 2025 and 5x 2025 sales. Expensive vs. auto but not vs. software/tech comps.”
FACEBOOK: The world’s largest online social network is expected to report a profit of $3.16 in the fourth quarter of 2020, which represents year-over-year growth of 23.4% from the same quarter a year ago when the company reported $2.56 cents per share.
According to the Zacks Research, the social media conglomerate’s revenue will increase of 24.7% to $26.29 billion from the year-ago, largely driven by solid ad-revenue growth amid advertiser demand during the holiday period.
“Monetization Potential: We are positive on FB‘s monetization roll-out of Instagram as well as FB’s ability to continue to innovate and improve its monetization (Canvas Ads, Dynamic Ads, video). Combined with the high and growing engagement we see monetization upside going forward,” noted Brian Nowak, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.
“Investing from Position of Strength to Drive Faster Long-Term Growth: We are modeling 29% GAAP opex (excl. one-time items) growth in 2021, implying an incremental $15bn in opex. Our base case model implies opex per employee moderates in ’21 while FB hiring remains roughly flat on an absolute basis. We believe FB will grow EPS at a 28% CAGR (2019-2022).”

POINT OF SALE (POS) RECEIPT PRINTER MARKET ANALYSIS  (2020-2027)
Market Overview
A receipt printer is a crucial device in point of sale (PoS) system where they are used in retail environments to print credit card slips and customer receipts. In layman’s terms, point-of-sale (PoS) printers are typically used to provide the transcript of the transactions such as tickets and sales receipts. The PoS receipt printer is majorly used in the restaurant industry to print off order back in the kitchen or at the bar. PoS printer plays a crucial role in minimizing the printing time and generating quality receipts as compared to conventional receipt printers. Different types of printers are used such as inkjet printer, dot-matrix printer, thermal printers, and more. Apart from restaurants, PoS printers are used in healthcare, retail, entertainment, warehouse/distribution, hospitality, etc. industries.
The global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market was valued US$ 2,666.0 Mn in 2019 and expected to reach US$ 4,877.0 Mn by 2027.
Market Dynamics- Drivers
Rising need for mobility in retail and hospitality applications is expected to drive growth of the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market during the forecast period
Consumers across the retail and hospitality sectors are increasingly adopting mobility technology to improve the customer experience and enhance the effectiveness of point of sale (PoS) systems for billing and other related purposes. The use of mobile receipt printers in both retail and restaurant applications can help to achieve significant cost savings since conventional PoS systems are more expensive and do not allow mobility. Moreover, the mobility feature optimizes the checkout process since it enables customers to complete transactions by skipping the queue at the counter. Moreover, faster checkout processes help to increase transaction numbers for both hospitality and retail applications. Thus, these factors are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
High demand for thermal point of sale (PoS) printers is expected to propel the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market growth over the forecast period
Thermal PoS receipt has been adopted significantly in many sectors due to declining prices. Since thermal printers provide fast printing and are more efficient than other printers, their demand is increasing exponentially, typically across the hospitality and retail sectors. Its other features include low printing cost, enhanced print quality, and reduced maintenance. Thus, these factors are expected to boost the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market growth in the near future.
North America region dominated the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market in 2019, accounting for 28.6% share in terms of value, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Latin America respectively.

Market Dynamics- Restraints
Rising adoption of cloud-based PoS systems is expected to restrain growth of the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market during the forecast period
Consumers in the market are focused on avoiding paper-based receipts and prefer e-receipts that are more convenient, more informative, less time consuming, more secure, and can be accessed via smart devices anywhere. This, in turn, is expected to hinder the sales of PoS receipt printers and thereby restrain the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market growth in the near future.
Health risk arising from bisphenol A (BPA) paper used in thermal PoS printers is expected to hamper the global point of sale (PoS) receipt printer market growth over the forecast period
The layers on direct thermal PoS printer contain a small amount of BPA, phenol-based reactants, or diphenyl sulfones that respond to heat to create the picture on papers. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a type of paper used in a thermal PoS printer that increases health risks associated with consumers. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in January 2010, the BPA used in thermal printers pose a risk of health hazards, especially for employees working as cashiers. Consequently, governments around the globe, primarily in countries such as Canada, Japan, and the U.S., are imposing bans on BPA. This ban is further restricting the growth of the POS printers market.
Market Opportunities
Rising demand for PoS printers can provide major business opportunities
Since more and more people are using cards for payments, the demand for PoS printers is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period. Governments of many countries such as China and India are taking proactive initiatives to make their economies less cash-dependent, which is why taxes have been minimized on PoS devices to support more cashless transactions. Moreover, integrating PoS printers with additional features including wireless connectivity, NFC, Bluetooth, etc. is expected to boost the demand for advanced PoS printers, thereby provide major business opportunities for market players.
Emergence of erasable and color printing is expected to present lucrative growth opportunities
Many companies are focused on novel ways to reduce the wastage of paper, thus manufacturers have already started investing in new technologies to produce innovative products. Erasable printing is one such technology under development, which can be used to reduce paper wastage through reuse. Moreover, color printers are expected to gain significant traction in the market, which is currently dominated by black and white printers.

Value Chain Analysis
The prominent players in the PoS printer value chain include OEMs (PoS printer), PoS distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), and the end-users (small and large business units)
The OEMs procure various raw materials from the suppliers and use them in the production process. In most cases, prominent OEMs prefer designing and developing the printer components in-house along with other PoS equipment to attain a high level of customization. This is because the OEM’s understanding of what its customers expect from the product is more comprehensive than third-party suppliers’ understanding.
This is an example of backward integration, where OEMs can opt to produce critical components in-house without relying on third-party suppliers. In such a scenario, an OEM might also set up an SBU for such critical components.
Furthermore, in a forward-integration scenario, an OEM has the option of directly owning and managing the distribution/dealer channel without assigning any distributor or value-added resellers (VARs)
In other cases where forward integration is not implemented, the buyers (small or large enterprises) can chose between VARs and POS distributors. However, VARs are capable of providing a complete PoS solution including software and training for the employees, thus making them a more popular choice among the SMEs.
For example, prominent OEMs including Star Micronics, Inc., Seiko Epson Corporation, and Posiflex Technology, Inc. have in-house capabilities to design and develop a complete PoS solution including PoS printers

Five Years of Ethereum: From a Teenage Dream to a 38B Blockchain
Five Years of Ethereum: From a Teenage Dream to a $38B Blockchain
How far has the Ethereum blockchain come in the five years since its inception? We explore key developments, changes and challenges.
It would seem that five years is a relatively short time for an information technology company,
but Ethereum has made colossal progress during this time, growing from its own initial coin offering project to the largest blockchain platform, running about 2,000 decentralized applications. Today, the market capitalization of its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is worth $38 billion — larger than Ford Motor Company and the popular app Snapchat. Not only that, but the value of Ether has seen a 121-fold increase over the period of the network’s existence. While the whole team is preparing for the transition to the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm ahead of the upcoming Berlin upgrade, Cointelegraph recalls the striking changes that have occurred to the platform over the five years since its launch, and the failures that have only toughened its resolve.
2013/2014: An idea to an $18 million crowdsale 
Ethereum was invented by Vitalik Buterin, a Canadian programmer of Russian descent. It was 2013, and Buterin was just an 18-year-old teenager, but his idea found a lively response in the global blockchain community. Later, Gavin Wood, a British computer programmer, proved the possibility of creating the system invented by Buterin and described the basic principles of its operation in the Ethereum “Yellow Paper.” Together with the first members of the Ethereum team, they launched a crowdsale and raised $18 million for the project’s development.
2015: Network launch and exchange listing
The first version of the Ethereum cryptocurrency protocol, called Frontier, was launched on July 30, 2015. But the security level the system boasted back then was far from what Ethereum is today. The launch of Frontier marked an important milestone in the history of the network, after which the developers immediately started working with smart contracts and creating DApps on the real blockchain. The first existing historical record of Ether’s price is from Aug. 7, 2015, when ETH was added to the Kraken crypto exchange at $2.77 per coin. Over its first three days of trading, its price dropped to a demeaning $0.68, most likely under the influence of rapid sales by early investors. In the second half of the year, droves of crypto enthusiasts rushed to learn what they could about Ethereum. A particularly significant contribution to its popularization was made by the DEVCON-1 developer conference, which was held from Nov. 9 to 13. The event sparked intense discussions on the development of Ethereum, with the participation of representatives from IBM, Microsoft and UBS.
2016: The DAO, hackers and Ethereum split
At the beginning of 2016, the price of Ether rose rapidly, fueled by news of the upcoming launch of a network protocol with a more stable version: Homestead. As a result, ETH reached its first serious high of $15 per coin on March 13, with the platform’s market cap exceeding the boastful $1 billion mark. On March 14, Homestead went live, which made its blockchain officially secure through new protocols and network changes (EIP-2, EIP-7 and EIP-8), making future updates possible. More specifically, the network protection became based on mining, which was planned only for the initial stage of development with subsequent transition to PoS with a hybrid model at an intermediate stage. At the same time, exuberant requirements for video memory acted as protection against the use of ASIC miners.
The next event, which brought the price of Ether to its highest value that year — $21 — was the widespread media coverage of the dizzying success of The DAO project, which raised more than 12 million ETH ($150 million at the time ) in May. The DAO — an acronym for decentralized autonomous organization — was one of the pioneers of the upcoming ICO era and chose Ethereum as its launchpad to raise investments. However, on June 16, using a vulnerability in The DAO’s code, unknown hackers stole about $60 million in ETH from the project. News of the attack sliced the price of ETH in half to $11. Buterin offered to return the stolen funds by conducting a hard fork to restore the network to its pre-attack state. Following a controversial hard fork held on July 20, the network split into two: Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. On Sept. 22, Ethereum suffered another blow: The network was subjected to a distributed denial-of-service attack, significantly slowing its operations. The news became an impetus for the beginning of a local downtrend in the curbed price, which began consolidating in the $7–$9 range by the end of the year. Two unplanned hard forks were then carried out to improve the resilience of the network and rectify the consequences of the DDoS attack.
2017: ICO boom 
Ether’s price experienced a meteoric rise at the start of 2017 as the cryptocurrency was added to the eToro platform on Feb. 23. Around the same time, the number of unconfirmed transactions on the Bitcoin network had reached 200,000, causing an increasing number of crypto investors and miners to opt for Ether as an alternative investment. On May 6, the price of ETH set a new bar of $95 per coin. The popularity of Ethereum grew rapidly in the crypto community and among DApp developers. The initial coin offering hype also contributed to the increased demand for Ether, as thousands of projects opted to fundraise in ETH. By Sept. 1, the price of Ethereum had almost reached a whopping $400, but news of China banning ICOs and crypto trading quickly slashed it to nearly $220. The price gradually recovered by mid-October after the release of the Byzantium network upgrade, which took place on Sept. 18. Along with the growth of the ICO bubble, in which Ether was still the main means of payment, ETH reached nearly $800 by the end of the year.
2018: Ethereum at $1,400 and a bearish trend
The beginning of 2018 turned out to be even more successful for Ethereum than the previous one. On Jan. 13, the price of Ether reached its all-time high of around $1,400. But the ICO rush, which had triggered the rapid growth of Ethereum’s price in 2017, came to an end. Throughout 2018, its echoes played a cruel joke on Ether as thousands of ICO projects sold their savings, meaning that ETH dropped even faster than the rest of the market. In early September, news of the Constantinople hard fork — expected in November — slowed the drop in the price and injected positive sentiment into the community. However, the network upgrade was delayed. Influenced by inter-bearish sentiments on the crypto market and pending updates, the price fell to $85, dropping from the second-largest to the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization behind XRP.
2019: Technical works, update delays and popularity of DAOs
Many aspects spiraled out of the control of developers over the year as they were actively engaged in conducting technical work on the network. Meanwhile, the community lost count of the number of upgrades carried out. In January, the technical roadmap gained clarity as difficult engineering problems were solved and the Ethereum development community continued to grow. DeFi became the largest sector within Ethereum, and the market saw early signs of growth in gaming and decentralized autonomous organizations. At the beginning of 2019, the only DeFi protocol with significant funds was MakerDAO, which had a total of 1.86 million ETH ($260.4 million at the time). The playing field became much more diverse by the end of the year when new participants rushed into the industry.
On Feb. 28, the Constantinople hard fork took place on the Ethereum network, which prepared it for the transition to the Casper PoS protocol and the abolition of the previous mining model. However, the eighth upgrade, called Istanbul — which initially had been scheduled for Dec. 4 — was delayed and activated on the Ethereum mainnet on Dec. 8. Among the main objectives of Istanbul were ensuring the compatibility of the Ethereum blockchain with the anonymous Zcash (ZEC) cryptocurrency and increasing the scalability of the network through SNARKs and STARKs zero-knowledge-proof protocols. In addition, the update made it difficult to carry out denial-of-service attacks on the network due to the change in the cost of gas needed for launching operating codes.
The progress of Ethereum 2.0 laid the foundation for the world’s largest corporations to start using the Ethereum blockchain. In July, Samsung released a software kit for Ethereum developers, six months after it was revealed that the development of its new phone included a built-in Ethereum wallet. Another large partnership involved internet browser Opera, which had launched an Ethereum-supported Android wallet at the end of 2018 and announced a built-in Ethereum wallet for iOS users in early 2019. Meanwhile, Microsoft continued its involvement with the Ethereum ecosystem. In May, the company released the Azure Blockchain Development Kit to support Ethereum development. In October, it backed a tokenized incentive system from the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance for use within enterprise consortiums. And in November, it launched Azure Blockchain Tokens, a service that lets enterprises issue their own tokens on Ethereum.
2020: The DeFi boom and PoS 
In the first half of 2020, Ethereum — famous for its numerous conferences and meetups — was forced to postpone all activity due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, the team managed to make significant progress in solving the scalability issue, with the launch of the final Ethereum 2.0 testnet scheduled for Aug. 4. The developers hope that once the upgrade is complete, the Ethereum network will become faster, cheaper and more scalable without compromising decentralization and network flexibility. Meanwhile, the blockchain network continues to grow, as activity in the decentralized finance market has increased significantly. According to Dapp.com, the daily volume of value transferred via DeFi applications reached an all-time high of $1.8 billion on July 2. During the second quarter, a record $4.9 billion was moved through DeFi applications — a 67% growth when compared with the previous quarter — while the number of active users of Ethereum applications reached 1,258,527, an increase of 97%.
