Why Is Square Stock up Over 25% This Year? 11/12/2020 Why Is Square Stock up Over 25% This Year? Why Is Square Stock up Over 25% This Year? Investors see the power in an innovative network Andrew Almeida (AIMinvestments) Feb 13, 2020 at 9:02AM Square (NYSE:SQ) is off to a meteoric rise in 2020 leading up to their earnings call at the end of this month. If you follow Square you have seen these rises before, only to be followed by equivalent declines as the company is yet to post positive earnings and any news good or bad will magnify the stocks share price. However, this time could be different as Square's recent patent approvals point toward innovation that puts a more complete picture around CEO Jack Dorsey's plans. Advances in system memory, multisource processing, and even cryptocurrency will allow for the next generation of use cases to be pushed through Square's existing network. The benefits of network effects are closely followed by investors as a powerful force that allows companies to push products to scale quickly. Think about how Facebook ads can immediately be pushed out to a network of over 2 billion people. And while Square's network isn't as sizable, they continue to build out new integrations and even innovate new uses to deepen the loyalty of platform users and attract new customers. https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/02/13/why-is-square-is-up-over-25-this-year.aspx 1/5 11/12/2020 Why Is Square Stock up Over 25% This Year? IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES What's Ahead? Square's recent patent approval for multisource transaction processing is a leap forward in the consumer payment experience. As mobile payment adoption continues to accelerate, multisource processing could help Square solidify its position as the point of sale (POS) system of the future for merchants. This technology will allow standard payment protocols and non-standard protocols to communicate simultaneously when transactions are being made. What does this mean? In short, smart terminals working on behalf of business owners and consumers. When a transaction is being made payment terminals will be able to communicate with background applications, other payment cards, loyalty cards, biometric linked accounts, and a variety of other accounts. In some instances, when communicating with mobile phones as a payment device, messages can be pushed to the customer. This can include a notification that using another form payment method will offer better rewards or discounts allowing customers to identify savings in real-time. Or in other instances apply loyalty points or coupons which you have been earned through other applications. Conversely, merchants can offer loyalty programs, promotions, or other third party offers at the point of sale. System Scanning with Direct Access to Memory As the breadth of financial data moving across networks grows, small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly becoming targets. Cyber threats can be aimed directly at a payment terminal to access payment and personal information. Fighting off fraud has become increasingly difficult as well as the number of payment types stretches across magnetic stripe cards, chip cards, tap cards, and mobile wallets. Square's technology will help reduce these risks for the small business owner. Big picture the technology will allow for scanning of the payment terminal's general memory to determine if it is secure. It can then communicate with a payment server whether it is secure, or be rejected by the payment server if the server has determined the terminal to be insecure from the information transmitted. Under these circumstances, the technology could either deny a fraudulent transaction or provide measures for securing the terminal. From what https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/02/13/why-is-square-is-up-over-25-this-year.aspx 2/5 11/12/2020 Why Is Square Stock up Over 25% This Year? it looks like the technology will be a separate add-on that can be attached to terminals so it should serve as another revenue source for Square. Cryptocurrency Payment Network Square's decision to invest in crypto could be game-changing. It may be hard to see why Square chose to be in the Bitcoin business given its high volatility and low margins. Gaining legitimacy and broad-based adoption has been a challenge for bitcoin. The Crypto Currency Payment Network has the potential to change that. Here's how... The payment network would exchange fiat currency for non-fiat currencies in real-time when transactions are made. So, a customer could shop for your products and pay in bitcoin, while the business owner will receive funds in dollars (or currency they operate in). This solves a major problem of coin adoption because it has made no sense for individual merchants to receive or hold bitcoin. When looking through the lens of building out a network, Square has built a bridge to connect two networks. First, he invited bitcoin users to the platform who are not welcome by his competitors. And now, through the Crypto Currency Payment Network, merchants will be able to transact with customers who want to pay in Bitcoin. Not only will Square be bringing potential new revenue streams to its users, but they will also be processing and increased number of transactions-where Square earns higher margins. There is no doubt Square understands the power of building out networks. In the same way Twitter carved out a social niche from Facebook, Square continues to innovate and carve out their corner of the fast-growing digital payment industry.

(BKNG) Booking Holdings (formerly known as Priceline) operates as an Online Travel Agency (“OTA”). The company’s online platforms facilitate business transactions between travelers and hotels/airlines/rental car services. In most cases, Booking acts as a platform and receives a commission for lending its network to travelers and businesses. In other cases, Booking will act as the facilitator of payments, buying rooms in bulk and selling them individually at a profit. The company also generates advertising revenue on select platforms. Most of Booking’s revenue is generated in Europe where boutique hotels are commonplace and there is very little consolidation in the hotel industry. This lack of consolidation makes smaller hotels dependent on Booking’s services, giving the company a wide economic moat. The company has a pristine balance sheet, with net cash and investments.

    PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY First Quarter 2018 POLEN FOCUS GROWTH STRATEGY Key Takeaways • During the first quarter of 2018, the Polen Focus Growth Composite Portfolio (the “Port- folio”) returned +3.41% gross of fees compared to +1.42% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index and -0.76% for the S&P 500 Index. • Our strong outperformance was driven by primarily what we own, but we also benefited from what we do not own. Company specific positives came from Adobe, Booking Hold- ings (formerly Priceline) and two of our healthcare companies: Align and Zoetis. From Dan Davidowitz, CFA a sector perspective, our lack of exposure to energy, materials and telecom companies Head of the Large Company also aided our relative performance. Growth Team & Portfolio Manager • Portfolio activity in the first quarter was higher than normal, although most of the changes were incremental adds and trims, with no new purchases in the quarter and only one outright sale. • Looking at the macroeconomic backdrop, there are some positive forces already in mo- tion such as accelerating GDP growth in the United States and abroad as well as lower tax rates coming to U.S. individuals and corporations. There are also risks to the current growth acceleration, namely the potential for protectionist trade wars and tariffs as well as higher interest rates. • For the first time in many years, there finally seems to be strong corporate earnings Damon Ficklin growth in the United States. For the full-year 2017, we calculated S&P 500 earnings Portfolio Manager growth was about 17%, well above its long-term annual average of approximately 7%, & Analyst and the highest it has been since 2010.

  • OTA & Travel Distribution Update: Hopper Focuses on Hotel Bookings
    Duff on Hospitality Law OTA & Travel Distribution Update: Hopper focuses on hotel bookings; Amazon's re-entry into travel; Facebook cryptocurrency a possible travel payment solution By Greg Duff on 6.28.19 | Posted in OTA Update Hopper Focuses on Hotel Bookings ("Hopper ramps up hotel booking with global private rates and price tracking," Phocus Wire on Jun 20, 2019 Over the past few years, we have featured a number of stories about Hopper and its many successes – though primarily in airline bookings. Now, Hopper is seeking to leverage some of that success in its pursuit of hotel bookings. Hopper currently features over 270,000 hotels worldwide and sources rooms from those hotels through both intermediaries and direct supplier relationships. Armed with its price predictive technology, Hopper claims to be able to provide users accurate rate forecasts for the hotels it features as well as unique “private” rates that are otherwise unavailable. Unlike typical booking channels, which generally promote and market their offerings broadly, Hopper derives 90% of its bookings through personalized “private” push notifications that are powered by Hopper’s personalization AI. Amazon’s Re-Entry Into Travel ("Alexa, how can I fly to Mumbai?," Reuters Technology on Jun 20, 2019) The recent news that Amazon has re-entered the travel industry has some in the airline industry concerned. Just when airlines were beginning to make demonstrable progress in creating direct booking relationships with its customers (and bypassing the many intermediaries who seek to control those relationships and charge handsomely for their services), along comes Amazon. While airlines such as AirAsia and easyJet are busy diversifying their products and services, many airlines are ill prepared.
