This ticker has been consolidating sideways since IPO on the quarterly chart timeframe, forming a rectangle channel (or rounded base). I have been eyeing this stock for quite some time, and it completely fell off my radar until today.
I am looking to enter in $DBX next week, with a price target of $50-$54. The price target is between what I believe is the fair value for this company and the 100% Fibonacci extension of the rectangle pattern.
Remote work is likely here to stay. Employees are demanding it and, in the midst of the great resignation, many companies are seeing the necessity to offer remote or hybrid work arrangements to attract and retain talent. The latest Fincredible MacroTalk offers several quotes from company earnings calls on the benefits and challenges of remote work.
Talent attraction and retention is one of THE biggest benefits of remote work for many companies:
$OSTK "The ability to offer remote work has improved our attraction and retention efforts, both of which are important during the nationwide great resignation. Our workforce continues to be engaged and productive working from home.”
$DBX "Virtual First has been really positive for us. I mean, last year, we saw a 126% increase in offer accepts. That's nearly double the number -- and then also nearly double the number of candidates for op enroll and even an uptick in what we call boomerang candidates, like folks that might leave the company and then come back within a year. So we're finding that from a hiring perspective, it's really resonating and unlocking new pools of talent. And I think more broadly, what you're seeing is that employees once they have the flexibility or when companies like ours offer this flexibility, they then -- employees demand it."
And companies like $UPST have shown that you can run a successful business remotely:
Hey guys! Here's the upcoming earnings calendar! Three of my holdings report next week.
$ABNB - The stock has held up pretty well during the market sell-off. The valuation is still high, but with re-openings the company could see a big boost this year.
$TTD - They've said Apple IDFA is a non-issue, so their growth should be great. A key indicator of ad spend.
$ROKU - The stock is down almost 64% from ATH, but the fundamentals keep improving. I expect great results from the company, with ARPU growing and margins expanding.

If you're interested in the cloud services revolution, you should read the latest Fincredible MacroTalk. The post compiles quotes from recent company earnings call on the value proposition of these services.
Here are three quotes extracted from the post that show some benefits of cloud services:
I worry about storage space as a business. Feels like a commodity at this point. That said, I don't know enough about their other products (productivity, etc) to have a more educated view.
My portfolio update. Again, VOD is an error, not 25% but <1%. In the pull back over last week+, I
(a) Almost deployed all my 11% cash.
(b) Sold over half of VG due to acqn
(c) Sold around 25% of my holdings in banks, blue chips that didn't fall much
(d) and rotated towards high-tech high-growth. Finally some enticing prices. >doubled holdings in $ESTC, $CRM, $ABNB, $PTON; nibbled on $CHGG, $ZM and bought 2024 calls in $WOOF, $DBX, $AKAM.
I also haven't been able to connect to one account which is my concentrated port. Essentially $VG, $DBX, $MNTV, $AKAM are 7-10% not what's listed below.
Hey guys! Here's next week's earnings calendar! Several very interesting companies set to report earnings. Here's the one's I'm most excited about and why:

$Z: an update on the real estate market and iBuying
$LYFT and $UBER: is mobility in the US back to pre-pandemic levels?
