It's been a volatile week for newly listed Chinese companies. Ecommerce site Pinduoduo (PDD), electric car manufacturer NIO (NIO) and news aggregator app Qutoutiao (QTT) have seen wild price moves. But it's the latter that so far claims the title of the best-performing IPO debut in 2018. So what exactly is Qutoutiao, and why is it getting less hype than Pinduoduo and NIO?

An overview

Quite often, companies with popular apps will highlight user base growth to show that there is strong potential to monetize it at some point. With Qutoutiao, it's important to show that while the user base is growing (133m installations and 32m monthly active users), it is enduring slowing growth. Here are some key facts:

The percentage of total users that use Qutoutiao every month has declined from 40% in 4Q16 and 33% in 4Q17 to 24% in 2Q18. The percentage of total users that use the app daily has declined to below 10%. The percentage of monthly active users that use the app daily is at its lowest level since 3Q16.

Average number of monthly- and daily active users per quarter, the proportion of installed users as MAUs and DAUs, and the proportion of MAUs that are DAUs. Source: Qutoutiao

• [By Ethan Ryder]

  Several analysts have recently updated their ratings and price targets for Whiting Petroleum (NYSE: WLL):

  2/15/2019 – Whiting Petroleum was upgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a “sell” rating to a “hold” rating. According to Zacks, “Whiting Petroleum's core operations are focused in North Dakota's Williston Basin, providing this E&P with an enviable acreage of top-tier assets and a multi-year drilling inventory. The company’s continually improving drilling efficiency has driven down cash costs while leading to attractive cash flow generation. However, as a counter to these strengths, Whiting Petroleum still carries considerable debt load, which may spell trouble. Moreover, the company’s price hedges have exposed it to significant risks amid the high volatility in crude prices. As such, the stock is expected to perform in line with the broader market.” 2/12/2019 – Whiting Petroleum is now covered by analysts at KeyCorp. They set an “overweight” rating and a $33.00 price target on the stock. 2/9/2019 – Whiting Petroleum was upgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a “sell” rating to a “hold” rating.

Top 10 Oil Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Marathon Oil Corporation(MRO)

Marathon Oil Corporation, through its subsidiaries, operates as an international energy company with operations in the United States, Canada, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. It operates through three segments: Exploration and Production, Oil Sands Mining, and Integrated Gas. The Exploration and Production segment explores for, produces, and markets liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas. The Oil Sands Mining segment mines, extracts, and transports bitumen from oil sands deposits in Alberta, Canada; and upgrades the bitumen to produce and market synthetic crude oil and vacuum gas oil. The Integrated Gas segment markets and transports products manufactured from natural gas, such as liquified natural gas and methanol. The company was formerly known as USX Corporation and changed its name to Marathon Oil Corporation in July 2001. Marathon Oil Corporation was founded in 1887 and is based in Houston, Texas.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) based its 2019 plans on oil averaging $50 a barrel. At that price point, the company can fund its $2.6 billion capital spending plan -- enough money to grow its U.S. oil production by 12% this year -- and its dividend with plenty of room to spare. Marathon has so much breathing room that it can fund its 2019 budget as well as its dividend at $45 oil, which means it's on track to produce a gusher of free cash now that oil is in the mid-$50s. Marathon currently expects to return the bulk of that money to shareholders through additional share repurchases, which sets up investors to potentially earn some high-octane total returns this year if oil keeps going higher.

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) delivered exceptional operational and financial results in 2018. Not only did its U.S. oil production outperform the midpoint of its initial guidance range by 22.5%, but it also generated a boatload of free cash flow. That strong performance is one of many reasons Marathon CEO Lee Tillman believes his company checks all the boxes for investors. He laid out the case for the company on its fourth-quarter conference call, detailing four reasons Marathon is an ideal oil stock. Here's what he said.

Apache spent the last couple of years investing in the build-out of midstream infrastructure to support the growth of its Alpine High discovery in the Permian. Initially, the company invested capital in constructing natural gas-gathering pipelines and other related infrastructure to move its production to regional hubs. However, as Apache signed up to be a major shipper on longer-haul pipeline developments, it also secured options to participate in these projects, making five such agreements.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Tyler Crowe, Jason Hall, and Matthew DiLallo]

  Matt DiLallo (Williams Companies): This natural gas pipeline giant has had a slow start in 2018. Through the first half of the year, cash flow at the company's MLP Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) has only increased by about 2%, due mainly to recent asset sales. However, with a major expansion project coming on line, cash flow growth should accelerate in the second half of the year. That project and others in the pipeline have the company on track to grow cash flow 9% in 2018 and another 13% next year.

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  Overall, earnings at both Williams and its MLP Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) were down slightly versus the year-ago period due to asset sales, while cash flow modestly increased thanks to lower interest expenses.

  How To Invest
  When spending dried up, this group was hit hard. Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) went from a profit of $3.5 billion in 2014 to a painful loss of $5.8 billion in 2016. But the pendulum is swinging. As any good salesman will tell you, it's much easier to close deals when your customers have more cash in their pocket. And as we just discussed, big oil producers have $425 billion locked, loaded and ready to fire.

Under the terms of the transaction, Pinnacle Foods shareholders will receive $43.11 per share in cash and 0.6494 shares of Conagra Brands common stock for each share of Pinnacle Foods held.

In less than two years, Instagram Stories went from no users to 400 million. The Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) subsidiary launched Stories in August 2016, and by January 2017 it had 150 million users. For reference, Snap (NYSE:SNAP) ended 2016 with 158 million daily average users through the last three months of the year.

Instagram recently announced that daily active users of Stories surpassed 400 million, more than doubling Snapchat's recent number of 191 million in the first quarter. Instagram Stories is growing considerably faster than Snapchat, too: It's up about 150 million users from this time last year, a 60% increase. Snapchat's user base increased just 15% year over year in the first quarter.

And things seem to be getting worse for Snap. Snapchat active users declined in March compared to February, and management couldn't provide any encouraging words for the second quarter. As Instagram Stories continues to grow in popularity, it presents an increasing challenge for Snap.
