The stock, which last peaked at $182.13 not too long ago, is currently less than 7% from being the first U.S. publicly listed company to reach a $3 trillion market value and single-handedly accounts for about 15% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s performance. Apple’s market value has grown by more than 220x since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.</p><p><blockquote>作为全球表现最好的股票之一,苹果(纳斯达克:AAPL)今年以来涨幅接近40%。该股不久前曾达到182.13美元的峰值,目前距离成为第一家市值达到3万亿美元的美国上市公司还不到7%,仅占以科技股为主的纳斯达克100指数的15%左右。自20世纪90年代末以来,苹果的市值增长了220倍以上,这得益于该公司不断抓住对其创新产品和服务组合的强劲需求的能力。</blockquote></p><p> And Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to $30 billion per month. This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024. If materialized, the process would up the funds rate to 2.1% by 2024.</p><p><blockquote>苹果强劲的基本面预计将帮助该股抵御明年即将加息的不利影响。随着通胀达到近四十年来最热的水平,美联储周三决定将加快缩减每月1200亿美元债券回购计划的步伐,从11月开始的每月150亿美元减少到每月300亿美元。这将有效地结束刺激计划,该计划是在3月份大流行开始时实施的,而不是最初计划的7月份。预计加息将很快开始,以应对不断上涨的物价压力,美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔确认,这一过程只有在缩减结束后才会以渐进的速度开始。最新的点阵图显示,从2022年初开始,联邦基金利率有可能从接近零的水平上升三个25个百分点,2023年再上升三个百分点,2024年再上升两个百分点。如果实现,这一过程将在2024年将基金利率提高至2.1%。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef3ca2d04c1b55a465e12bfae79890e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Bloomberg</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源:彭博社</span></p></blockquote></p><p> While rate hikes typically cause investors to turn risk averse due to concerns over faster erosion of value on future gains and stalled business growth due to rising costs of capital, especially for high-growth stocks, Apple gained close to 3% upon release of the Fed’s update on policy tightening. The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.</p><p><blockquote>虽然加息通常会导致投资者转向规避风险,因为他们担心未来收益的价值会加速侵蚀,以及资本成本上升导致业务增长停滞,尤其是高增长股票,但苹果在美联储发布后上涨了近3%关于政策收紧的最新消息。该股12月15日收于179.30美元,接近周一182美元的峰值。美联储更新后,苹果的上涨以及其他大型科技股的类似上涨趋势推动纳斯达克100指数盘中上涨2.4%,这表明投资者更愿意将资金投资于增长前景强劲的公司以应对即将加息带来的风险。</blockquote></p><p> With the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.</p><p><blockquote>随着即将到来的假期对苹果12月季度销售有利,该股估值预计将比预期更早进入3万亿美元区间。苹果整个产品线的持续强劲需求、慷慨的股票回购以及新的尖端产品预计在可预见的未来带来的额外收入贡献也将成为支持公司持续强劲的基本面并保持该股的关键催化剂尽管即将加息,但估值仍高于3万亿美元。考虑到大盘的近期发展和苹果的增长前景,我们将该股12个月目标价上调至209.43美元。</blockquote></p><p> <b>FY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects</b></p><p><blockquote><b>2021财年基本面前景概述和回顾</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Fiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.</p><p><blockquote>2021财年对苹果来说是重要的一年。尽管冠状病毒反复爆发和供应链限制导致商店断断续续关闭,导致销售额损失超过90亿美元,但该公司今年的收入较2020财年增长了33%,达到3660亿美元。每个产品和服务部门都实现了创纪录的收入,比上一年增长了20%以上。本年度的成功主要归功于一系列新产品的推出和功能升级。其中最引人注目的包括支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s系列,以及支持M1的MacBook Pro和iPad Pro。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Products</b></p><p><blockquote><b>产品的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p> iPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.</p><p><blockquote>iPhone销量今年增长了39%,是其他细分市场中增长最快的,占苹果2021财年收入的一半以上。这一结果与去年移动设备需求下滑形成鲜明对比,当时消费者准备应对大流行带来的经济不确定性。随着全球5G设备升级步伐不断加快,预计未来几年iPhone销量将保持强劲。2022年可能推出的更实惠的支持5G的iPhone SE预计也将通过吸引“超过10亿非高端Android用户”的切换者来进一步提高苹果的市场份额,并将活跃安装基数推向另一个历史新高。在推出支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s后,最近几个季度观察到的iPhone销售模式进一步证实了预期的势头,升级者和转换者的数量以两位数强劲增长。苹果与手机运营商的紧密联系预计也将在未来几年推动iPhone的销售贡献。Verizon和AT&T等美国知名无线运营商已经热衷于促进iPhone 12和iPhone 13等支持5G的设备的销售,以鼓励迁移到他们在全国范围内花费数十亿美元建设的5G网络。预计全球电信公司将在未来五年内斥资超过7000亿美元建设5G网络,这突显出随着运营商推动十年来最强劲的多年升级周期以收回成本,iPhone市场未来将面临巨大的额外增长机会。他们的投资。</blockquote></p><p> Mac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.</p><p><blockquote>Mac和iPad的销售额在2021财年也大幅增长,收入分别达到创纪录的352亿美元和319亿美元。继今年早些时候推出全新的M1驱动的iMac后,苹果还在10月份推出了重新设计的M1-Pro/M1-Max驱动的MacBook Pro。定制的M1处理器使最新的MacBook“在游戏之外的几乎所有生产力用例上都比任何基于英特尔的设备都好”。这相应地推动了不同消费者群体对便携式工作站的难以置信的需求,从专业创作者和摄影师到企业用户和学生。据估计,该公司在9月份季度的Mac产品出货量超过320万台,这推动了该部门创纪录的收入,同时将其在全球PC销量中的排名提升至其他供应商中的第四位。在苹果的计算产品中引入M1处理器也增强了其在利用全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑需求激增方面的地位,使该公司能够构建具有创新功能的设备,这些设备可以无缝集成到其周边配件和服务生态系统中,以吸引邻近收入。随着后大流行时代混合工作和学习安排的加速采用,全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑等便携式工作站的需求预计将在未来几年保持高位——预计到2025年,这些行业的市场规模将分别增长到2243亿美元和6000亿美元,这为苹果的Mac和iPad市场带来了有利的趋势。</blockquote></p><p> Recent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.</p><p><blockquote>最近关于苹果打算加强其内部芯片开发能力的猜测可能会在未来几年进一步推进其技术的进步,并吸引对其产品的额外需求。该公司目前正在寻找工程师来增强其在“无线电、射频集成电路和无线片上系统(“SoC”)”以及“用于连接蓝牙和Wi-Fi的半导体”的开发能力。这些发展预计将进一步增强苹果设备之间的无缝集成,并增加其产品和服务生态系统的粘性,使其芯片部门成为该公司“最宝贵的资产”之一。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Services</b></p><p><blockquote><b>服务业的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> On the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.</p><p><blockquote>在服务方面,强大的用户基础使该部门在2021财年的收入达到创纪录的超过684亿美元,比上一年增长27%。迄今为止,苹果的高利润服务已吸引了超过7.45亿付费用户,比过去五年增长了五倍。苹果在其各种服务平台(从苹果音乐到iCloud存储解决方案)中不断推动基于订阅的商业模式,再加上近年来针对关键消费者趋势的有吸引力的新产品,一直是该公司快速增长的关键驱动力。-扩大利润。为现有服务平台推出的令人兴奋的新附加功能包括苹果音乐的空间音频和无损音频以及苹果音乐语音计划。新的基于订阅的产品预计将进一步扩大苹果对智能手机、笔记本电脑和其他先进家用电子产品在全球使用不断增加所带来的邻近机会的覆盖范围,例如,全球音乐流媒体市场预计将以16%的复合年增长率扩张,预计未来五年价值将达到610亿美元,凸显了苹果音乐的巨大增长空间。苹果最新推出的苹果One捆绑包预计将成为未来几年促进服务部门销售的关键贡献者,吸引新用户为订阅服务付费,如果没有捆绑折扣,他们就不会这样做。</blockquote></p><p> Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.</p><p><blockquote>移动应用市场需求的持续增长也将利好苹果快速增长的服务板块。全球移动应用市场预计将以18.4%的CAGR增长,未来五年市值将超过4000亿美元。由于AAPL拥有世界上最大和使用最多的应用商店之一,有理由假设相关收入将以类似的速度增长。尽管全球监管机构对苹果App Store涉嫌违反反垄断的审查越来越多——其中最引人注目的是与Epic Games正在进行的法律斗争——但该公司对确保用户隐私、安全和交易便利性的持续关注可能会挽救局面。根据Morgan Stanley对美国和中国4000名苹果产品用户进行的一项调查,尽管开发者正在争取在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,但大多数用户都表示对苹果应用商店的忠诚度,因为它提供了“安全、隐私和交易便利性的价值”。作为Epic Games提起的长达一年的诉讼的一部分,苹果最近成功推迟了美国地区法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers在9月份下令的App Store变更,这是App Store持续强劲的另一个迹象。该公司辩称,法院授权的允许App Store用户“直接从网络上的开发者那里购买”的命令将对他们的隐私安全构成威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Currently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.</p><p><blockquote>目前,开发者正在争取让应用用户在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,该生态系统向开发者收取高达所有购买30%的高额佣金。随着苹果继续对该裁决提出上诉,法院关于是否需要实施App Store变更的最终决定可能至少还需要一年时间。但即使做出不利的裁决,即苹果必须允许开发者将用户重定向到其生态系统之外的支付和/或降低其应用内购买佣金率,App Store的收入预计每年最多只会减少40亿美元,这不会对其估值前景产生重大影响。考虑到App Store用户对苹果通过该平台提供的安全性和便利性水平的重视,实际的量化影响甚至可能低于市场预测。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Catalysts Ahead</b></p><p><blockquote><b>未来的关键催化剂</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Apple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.</p><p><blockquote>由于其庞大的设备安装基础和相关服务平台用户,苹果无疑是将新兴技术带入主流的关键门户。正因为如此,未来几年备受期待的AR/VR耳机和自动驾驶汽车等尖端产品的推出可能会将该股推向新的高度。这家颠覆性消费电子和设备的先驱预计将在2023年初推出VR耳机和AR眼镜,这是一项新兴技术,近几个月来,随着有关元宇宙的讨论越来越多,这项技术的发展势头越来越大。与市场上已有的大多数VR头显类似,苹果的将配备3D显示屏,为从游戏到交流的各种活动提供身临其境的环境。差异化因素将是该公司计划在设备中实现一流的图形芯片,以促进超高分辨率显示。即将推出的VR头显最终将为其AR眼镜奠定基础,苹果预计这将是“更大的机会”。</blockquote></p><p> Over the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.</p><p><blockquote>未来五年,与元宇宙相关的机会预计将发展成为8000亿美元的市场。相关软件和服务销售预计将推动预计潜在市场的70%以上,而其余部分可能由硬件销售推动。这为苹果带来了强劲的推动力,该公司不仅可以通过销售即将推出的AR/VR耳机来利用不断增长的元宇宙机会,还可以利用与相关应用程序、软件和服务平台使用相关的邻近收入。</blockquote></p><p> Speculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.</p><p><blockquote>对苹果正在开发自动驾驶电动汽车的猜测预计也将在可预见的未来为该股带来有意义的上涨。该公司现在计划到2025年推出新的产品类别,届时全球自动驾驶汽车市场的价值预计将达到2000亿美元以上。最终的汽车可能会向其现有产品组合致敬,例如“类似iPad的触摸屏”信息娱乐系统。在技术方面,据信苹果已经完成了定制芯片的开发,用于为车辆的自动驾驶功能提供动力。据该州DMV称,最新的芯片将很快应用到其现有的改装SUV车队中,以便在加利福尼亚州进行测试,这表明即将推出的芯片即将推出。</blockquote></p><p> While Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.</p><p><blockquote>虽然苹果目前的市值可能已经反映了“随着时间的推移,新产品和服务对材料收入的持续贡献”,但上述新产品类别发布的额外上行空间仍然缺失。但随着苹果AR/VR设备即将推出,这种情况可能会在未来12个月内发生变化。对早期AR/VR设备销售的近期预测预计将使苹果的估值至少提高1500亿美元。随着时间的推移,当元宇宙趋势继续获得主流关注时,苹果预计将从AR/VR领域获得超过2000亿美元的年收入,这可能会在其当前市值的基础上再增加15%。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Valuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值前景和即将加息的潜在影响</b></blockquote></p><p> Adjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>调整我们对苹果2021财年年终业绩和12月季度指引的最新预测,我们的基本情况预测预计到2022财年末总净销售额为4393亿美元,到2026财年将进一步增长至6685亿美元。我们预测中应用于各部门收入的增长假设与我们对该股的最新分析基本保持不变,并额外考虑了管理层对供应限制影响和即将加息的近期前景。具体来说,2021财年下半年由于全行业芯片短缺和大流行导致的制造延迟造成的90亿美元收入损失(即6月季度约30亿美元,9月季度约60亿美元)预计将恶化2022财年上半年。尽管供应链挑战有所改善,但对苹果产品的持续强劲需求将导致未来几个季度销量损失更大。尽管如此,苹果仍为未来强劲的基本面做好了准备,这将有助于缓解投资者因即将加息而对估值的一些担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5aa95136cfca6f95b962ea36eadab74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>修订后的价格目标是使用十年离散期内的贴现现金流(“DCF”)分析得出的,并结合前几节中分析的针对苹果近期发展更新的财务预测。与我们最初的估值分析类似,我们采用了8%的WACC来贴现苹果的预计自由现金流。考虑到公司当前的资本结构和强劲的资产负债表,贴现函数反映了公司的风险状况。考虑到苹果现有债务的很大一部分是固定利率票据,预计其增长资本成本不会因即将加息而发生重大变化。该公司还拥有持续强劲的净现金状况,管理层打算在加息之前部署以实现额外增长,而不必产生增量资本成本。预计这将进一步巩固投资者对苹果股票的信心,因为他们在担心利率上升带来的更广泛市场压力的情况下继续“转向优质股票”。</blockquote></p><p> The valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>估值分析还假设退出倍数为19.8倍,这与当前市场对苹果在预测期内增长轨迹的预期一致。考虑到AR/VR设备和自动驾驶汽车等新产品领域即将推出,所应用的退出倍数假设甚至可能在未来12个月内进一步改善,并抵消即将加息的任何潜在影响。</blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>基于上述分析,预计未来两年在当前接近零的联邦基金利率基础上增加175至200个基点,从基本面和估值角度来看,预计不会对苹果的业绩造成重大不利影响。全球对苹果产品和服务的强劲需求,加上新的创新,预计将进一步增强该公司的基本增长前景。因此,这将进一步改善苹果的资产负债表,并进一步增强其抵御更广泛的宏观逆风带来的估值下行压力的地位。事实上,为应对即将加息带来的风险,对优质成长型股票的需求不断增加,甚至可能会推动苹果的估值增长势头。考虑到这些因素,苹果仍然是表现最好的科技股之一,尽管加息即将到来,但其近期仍强劲上涨至3万亿美元。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024.

The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.</p><p><blockquote>iPhone销量今年增长了39%,是其他细分市场中增长最快的,占苹果2021财年收入的一半以上。这一结果与去年移动设备需求下滑形成鲜明对比,当时消费者准备应对大流行带来的经济不确定性。随着全球5G设备升级步伐不断加快,预计未来几年iPhone销量将保持强劲。2022年可能推出的更实惠的支持5G的iPhone SE预计也将通过吸引“超过10亿非高端Android用户”的切换者来进一步提高苹果的市场份额,并将活跃安装基数推向另一个历史新高。在推出支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s后,最近几个季度观察到的iPhone销售模式进一步证实了预期的势头,升级者和转换者的数量以两位数强劲增长。苹果与手机运营商的紧密联系预计也将在未来几年推动iPhone的销售贡献。Verizon和AT&T等美国知名无线运营商已经热衷于促进iPhone 12和iPhone 13等支持5G的设备的销售,以鼓励迁移到他们在全国范围内花费数十亿美元建设的5G网络。预计全球电信公司将在未来五年内斥资超过7000亿美元建设5G网络,这突显出随着运营商推动十年来最强劲的多年升级周期以收回成本,iPhone市场未来将面临巨大的额外增长机会。他们的投资。</blockquote></p><p> Mac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.</p><p><blockquote>Mac和iPad的销售额在2021财年也大幅增长,收入分别达到创纪录的352亿美元和319亿美元。继今年早些时候推出全新的M1驱动的iMac后,苹果还在10月份推出了重新设计的M1-Pro/M1-Max驱动的MacBook Pro。定制的M1处理器使最新的MacBook“在游戏之外的几乎所有生产力用例上都比任何基于英特尔的设备都好”。这相应地推动了不同消费者群体对便携式工作站的难以置信的需求,从专业创作者和摄影师到企业用户和学生。据估计,该公司在9月份季度的Mac产品出货量超过320万台,这推动了该部门创纪录的收入,同时将其在全球PC销量中的排名提升至其他供应商中的第四位。在苹果的计算产品中引入M1处理器也增强了其在利用全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑需求激增方面的地位,使该公司能够构建具有创新功能的设备,这些设备可以无缝集成到其周边配件和服务生态系统中,以吸引邻近收入。随着后大流行时代混合工作和学习安排的加速采用,全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑等便携式工作站的需求预计将在未来几年保持高位——预计到2025年,这些行业的市场规模将分别增长到2243亿美元和6000亿美元,这为苹果的Mac和iPad市场带来了有利的趋势。</blockquote></p><p> Recent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.</p><p><blockquote>最近关于苹果打算加强其内部芯片开发能力的猜测可能会在未来几年进一步推进其技术的进步,并吸引对其产品的额外需求。该公司目前正在寻找工程师来增强其在“无线电、射频集成电路和无线片上系统(“SoC”)”以及“用于连接蓝牙和Wi-Fi的半导体”的开发能力。这些发展预计将进一步增强苹果设备之间的无缝集成,并增加其产品和服务生态系统的粘性,使其芯片部门成为该公司“最宝贵的资产”之一。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Services</b></p><p><blockquote><b>服务业的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> On the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music.

The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.</p><p><blockquote>移动应用市场需求的持续增长也将利好苹果快速增长的服务板块。全球移动应用市场预计将以18.4%的CAGR增长,未来五年市值将超过4000亿美元。由于AAPL拥有世界上最大和使用最多的应用商店之一,有理由假设相关收入将以类似的速度增长。尽管全球监管机构对苹果App Store涉嫌违反反垄断的审查越来越多——其中最引人注目的是与Epic Games正在进行的法律斗争——但该公司对确保用户隐私、安全和交易便利性的持续关注可能会挽救局面。根据Morgan Stanley对美国和中国4000名苹果产品用户进行的一项调查,尽管开发者正在争取在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,但大多数用户都表示对苹果应用商店的忠诚度,因为它提供了“安全、隐私和交易便利性的价值”。作为Epic Games提起的长达一年的诉讼的一部分,苹果最近成功推迟了美国地区法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers在9月份下令的App Store变更,这是App Store持续强劲的另一个迹象。该公司辩称,法院授权的允许App Store用户“直接从网络上的开发者那里购买”的命令将对他们的隐私安全构成威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Currently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.</p><p><blockquote>目前,开发者正在争取让应用用户在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,该生态系统向开发者收取高达所有购买30%的高额佣金。随着苹果继续对该裁决提出上诉,法院关于是否需要实施App Store变更的最终决定可能至少还需要一年时间。但即使做出不利的裁决,即苹果必须允许开发者将用户重定向到其生态系统之外的支付和/或降低其应用内购买佣金率,App Store的收入预计每年最多只会减少40亿美元,这不会对其估值前景产生重大影响。考虑到App Store用户对苹果通过该平台提供的安全性和便利性水平的重视,实际的量化影响甚至可能低于市场预测。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Catalysts Ahead</b></p><p><blockquote><b>未来的关键催化剂</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Apple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.</p><p><blockquote>由于其庞大的设备安装基础和相关服务平台用户,苹果无疑是将新兴技术带入主流的关键门户。正因为如此,未来几年备受期待的AR/VR耳机和自动驾驶汽车等尖端产品的推出可能会将该股推向新的高度。这家颠覆性消费电子和设备的先驱预计将在2023年初推出VR耳机和AR眼镜,这是一项新兴技术,近几个月来,随着有关元宇宙的讨论越来越多,这项技术的发展势头越来越大。与市场上已有的大多数VR头显类似,苹果的将配备3D显示屏,为从游戏到交流的各种活动提供身临其境的环境。差异化因素将是该公司计划在设备中实现一流的图形芯片,以促进超高分辨率显示。即将推出的VR头显最终将为其AR眼镜奠定基础,苹果预计这将是“更大的机会”。</blockquote></p><p> Over the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.</p><p><blockquote>未来五年,与元宇宙相关的机会预计将发展成为8000亿美元的市场。相关软件和服务销售预计将推动预计潜在市场的70%以上,而其余部分可能由硬件销售推动。这为苹果带来了强劲的推动力,该公司不仅可以通过销售即将推出的AR/VR耳机来利用不断增长的元宇宙机会,还可以利用与相关应用程序、软件和服务平台使用相关的邻近收入。</blockquote></p><p> Speculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.</p><p><blockquote>对苹果正在开发自动驾驶电动汽车的猜测预计也将在可预见的未来为该股带来有意义的上涨。该公司现在计划到2025年推出新的产品类别,届时全球自动驾驶汽车市场的价值预计将达到2000亿美元以上。最终的汽车可能会向其现有产品组合致敬,例如“类似iPad的触摸屏”信息娱乐系统。在技术方面,据信苹果已经完成了定制芯片的开发,用于为车辆的自动驾驶功能提供动力。据该州DMV称,最新的芯片将很快应用到其现有的改装SUV车队中,以便在加利福尼亚州进行测试,这表明即将推出的芯片即将推出。</blockquote></p><p> While Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.</p><p><blockquote>虽然苹果目前的市值可能已经反映了“随着时间的推移,新产品和服务对材料收入的持续贡献”,但上述新产品类别发布的额外上行空间仍然缺失。但随着苹果AR/VR设备即将推出,这种情况可能会在未来12个月内发生变化。对早期AR/VR设备销售的近期预测预计将使苹果的估值至少提高1500亿美元。随着时间的推移,当元宇宙趋势继续获得主流关注时,苹果预计将从AR/VR领域获得超过2000亿美元的年收入,这可能会在其当前市值的基础上再增加15%。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Valuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值前景和即将加息的潜在影响</b></blockquote></p><p> Adjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>调整我们对苹果2021财年年终业绩和12月季度指引的最新预测,我们的基本情况预测预计到2022财年末总净销售额为4393亿美元,到2026财年将进一步增长至6685亿美元。我们预测中应用于各部门收入的增长假设与我们对该股的最新分析基本保持不变,并额外考虑了管理层对供应限制影响和即将加息的近期前景。具体来说,2021财年下半年由于全行业芯片短缺和大流行导致的制造延迟造成的90亿美元收入损失(即6月季度约30亿美元,9月季度约60亿美元)预计将恶化2022财年上半年。尽管供应链挑战有所改善,但对苹果产品的持续强劲需求将导致未来几个季度销量损失更大。尽管如此,苹果仍为未来强劲的基本面做好了准备,这将有助于缓解投资者因即将加息而对估值的一些担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5aa95136cfca6f95b962ea36eadab74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>修订后的价格目标是使用十年离散期内的贴现现金流(“DCF”)分析得出的,并结合前几节中分析的针对苹果近期发展更新的财务预测。与我们最初的估值分析类似,我们采用了8%的WACC来贴现苹果的预计自由现金流。考虑到公司当前的资本结构和强劲的资产负债表,贴现函数反映了公司的风险状况。考虑到苹果现有债务的很大一部分是固定利率票据,预计其增长资本成本不会因即将加息而发生重大变化。该公司还拥有持续强劲的净现金状况,管理层打算在加息之前部署以实现额外增长,而不必产生增量资本成本。预计这将进一步巩固投资者对苹果股票的信心,因为他们在担心利率上升带来的更广泛市场压力的情况下继续“转向优质股票”。</blockquote></p><p> The valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>估值分析还假设退出倍数为19.8倍,这与当前市场对苹果在预测期内增长轨迹的预期一致。考虑到AR/VR设备和自动驾驶汽车等新产品领域即将推出,所应用的退出倍数假设甚至可能在未来12个月内进一步改善,并抵消即将加息的任何潜在影响。</blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>基于上述分析,预计未来两年在当前接近零的联邦基金利率基础上增加175至200个基点,从基本面和估值角度来看,预计不会对苹果的业绩造成重大不利影响。全球对苹果产品和服务的强劲需求,加上新的创新,预计将进一步增强该公司的基本增长前景。因此,这将进一步改善苹果的资产负债表,并进一步增强其抵御更广泛的宏观逆风带来的估值下行压力的地位。事实上,为应对即将加息带来的风险,对优质成长型股票的需求不断增加,甚至可能会推动苹果的估值增长势头。考虑到这些因素,苹果仍然是表现最好的科技股之一,尽管加息即将到来,但其近期仍强劲上涨至3万亿美元。</blockquote></p><p></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> 来源:<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4475887-apple-stock-aapl-strongest-shield-against-rate-hikes\">Seeking Alpha</a></p>\n<p>为提升您的阅读体验,我们对本页面进行了排版优化</p>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4475887-apple-stock-aapl-strongest-shield-against-rate-hikes","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1183475424","content_text":"Summary\n\nWith inflation running its hottest course in 40 years, the Federal Reserve has decided to accelerate the stimulus tapering schedule and prepare for raising interest rates as early as March.\nWhile rate hikes have historically deterred investors from growth stocks due to concerns over eroding valuation prospects, the Apple stock has remained largely resilient.\nApple is expected to realize additional upsides ahead, sustained by robust demand for its existing offerings and new opportunities arising from nascent technologies like AR/VR and autonomous vehicles.\nIts strong net cash position also provides sufficient dry powder to fund additional growth in coming years without incurring additional costs of capital amidst rising interest rates.\nAs such, Apple's bullish thesis remains intact as it approaches a $3 trillion valuation, despite broader market valuation risks ahead.\n\nguvendemir/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\nAs one of the world’s best performing stocks, Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL) has gained close to 40% this year. The stock, which last peaked at $182.13 not too long ago, is currently less than 7% from being the first U.S. publicly listed company to reach a $3 trillion market value and single-handedly accounts for about 15% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s performance. Apple’s market value has grown by more than 220x since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.\nAnd Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to $30 billion per month. This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024. If materialized, the process would up the funds rate to 2.1% by 2024.\nSource: Bloomberg\nWhile rate hikes typically cause investors to turn risk averse due to concerns over faster erosion of value on future gains and stalled business growth due to rising costs of capital, especially for high-growth stocks, Apple gained close to 3% upon release of the Fed’s update on policy tightening. The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.\nWith the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.\nFY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects\nFiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.\nKey Developments in Products\niPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.\nMac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.\nRecent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.\nKey Developments in Services\nOn the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.\nContinued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.\nCurrently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.\nKey Catalysts Ahead\nApple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.\nOver the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.\nSpeculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.\nWhile Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.\nValuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases\nAdjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.\n\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf). Please refer here for further detail on material growth assumptions applied.\nDrawing on the above considerations, our 12-month price target for the Apple stock has been revised to $209.43. This represents upside potential of more than 22% based on the last traded price of $171.14 on December 17th.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nThe revised price target is derived using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis over a ten-year discrete period in conjunction with the financial projections updated for Apple’s recent developments as analyzed in earlier sections. Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.\nThe valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\n\nii. Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion\nBased on the foregoing analysis, the anticipated addition of 175 to 200 basis points to the current near-zero Federal Fund Rate over the next two years is not expected to cause material adverse impacts to Apple’s performance from both a fundamental and valuation perspective. Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2387,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":820271041,"gmtCreate":1633398374194,"gmtModify":1633398374593,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820271041","repostId":"1118300110","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118300110","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1633395826,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1118300110?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-05 09:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 reasons why airline stocks are screaming buys<blockquote>航空股尖叫买入的3个原因</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118300110","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the airline space, but the time to buy is now, arg","content":"<p><div> The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the airline space, but the time to buy is now, argues Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker.

To that end, the Biden administration said recently it would lift restrictions for fully vaccinated travelers to enter the U.S.starting in November.\nSecondarily, Shanker believes the bad news for the sector on the COVID front peaked in the third quarter. That suggests an improving runway for airline sector margins, according to Shanker's research.\nAnd lastly, Shanker thinks December analyst days for the airline sector will be \"very bullish\" with respect to 2022 and 2023 financial targets.\nTo be sure, airline stocks have begun to lift off over the last few weeks as investors begin to price in brighter skies in 2022. Analysts such as Shanker point to news of Merck's potential new COVID-19 pill as being particularly friendly to airline stocks of late.\nShares of SouthWest Airlines, Delta Air Lines , American Airlines and United Airlines have all gainedmore than 10% in the past month, perYahoo Finance Plus data. Spirit Airlines and JetBlue Airways have tacked on 9.8% and 9.3% during that same stretch.\nMeanwhile, The NYSE Arca Airline Index is up 8% in the the last month.\nNot every analyst is on board with Shanker's upbeat view on the sector, however. Some such as BofA's Andrew Didora advise a more disciplined approach to playing the airline recovery.\n\"While near term demand and cost pressures lower our 2H21E EPS for the industry, in our view, the overall trajectory of the recovery remains unchanged. We remain more cautious on corporate and continue to favor Southwest/Alaska Air given their strong balance sheets, and leisure oriented carriers such as Allegiant given little competition on its routes,\" said Didora in a note to clients.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAL":0.9,"LUV":0.9,"DAL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2918,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":867541725,"gmtCreate":1633304228883,"gmtModify":1633304229315,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/867541725","repostId":"2172962784","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2722,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":860386145,"gmtCreate":1632136195287,"gmtModify":1632802622475,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"See this headline everyday","listText":"See this headline everyday","text":"See this headline everyday","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/860386145","repostId":"1117610618","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117610618","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1632126033,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1117610618?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-20 16:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Some China concepts stocks fell in premarket trading<blockquote>部分中概股盘前下跌</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117610618","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 20) Some China concepts stocks fell in premarket trading.","content":"<p>(Sept 20) Some China concepts stocks fell in premarket trading.</p><p><blockquote>(9月20日)部分中概股盘前下跌。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc0bfb5f2f1bc4d2f48c30ba44145250\" tg-width=\"357\" tg-height=\"724\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"</p><p><blockquote>截至2021年8月1日,Lululemon拥有位于17个不同市场的534家门店网络。2021财年上半年,LULU来自美国、加拿大和国际市场的收入分别占公司收入的69%、14%和17%。公司经营的商店、直接面向消费者的业务和其他业务分别贡献了其2021年上半年销售额的46%、43%和11%。在该公司最新的10-Q文件中,Lululemon Athletica将其他业务部门定义为“门店、临时地点、批发账户销售、许可和供应安排以及MIRROR(2020年收购的家庭健身房业务)”。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Lululemon Stock Price</b></p><p><blockquote><b>露露柠檬股价</b></blockquote></p><p> Lululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.</p><p><blockquote>Lululemon的股价今年迄今和过去一年分别上涨了+20.4%和+32.8%,非常密切地跟踪了标普500和纳斯达克综合指数的表现。然而,LULU在过去几个月开始跑赢主要基准股指。在过去的六个月里,Lululemon的股价上涨了33.3%,而同期纳斯达克综合指数和标普500指数的涨幅仅在十几岁左右。在过去三个月中,LULU的股价上涨了+25.0%,而同期纳斯达克综合指数和标普500分别上涨了+7.7%和+5.5%。</blockquote></p><p> LULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.</p><p><blockquote>LULU 2021年第一季度和第二季度的盈利均好于预期,这显然有助于推动该公司近期股价表现强劲。更重要的是,Lululemon Athletica今年上半年超出预期的财务业绩暗示着该公司拥有有利于其的结构性增长驱动力,而不仅仅是在COVID-19高峰期在家工作或WFH的一次性顺风中受益。</blockquote></p><p> At its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\". The company also emphasized that its \"brand is early innings across product with activities where we focus on\" and \"gaining market share across categories\".</p><p><blockquote>在最近的第二季度业绩发布会上,Lululemon指出,“疫情推动了一些发挥我们品牌优势的客人行为”,其中包括“一般健身意识”、“健康,生活得好”和“功能性服装的重要性”。该公司还强调,其“品牌是我们关注的产品和活动的早期阶段”和“获得跨类别的市场份额”。</blockquote></p><p> Separately, it is critical to examine if whether Lululemon's recent share price outperformance makes it less attractive as a potential investment candidate in terms of valuations.</p><p><blockquote>另外,至关重要的是要考察Lululemon最近的股价表现是否会降低其作为潜在投资候选者的估值吸引力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Peer Valuation Comparison For LULU</b></p><p><blockquote><b>LULU的同行估值比较</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Stock</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year ROE Metric</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year ROE Metric</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Lululemon</b></td> <td>56.0</td> <td>47.1</td> <td>+41.6%</td> <td>+15.0%</td> <td>33.4%</td> <td>34.8%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

LULU does boast superior revenue growth prospects as compared to all of its peers, while its forecasted ROEs are higher than the majority of its peers as well. As such, Lululemon does deserve to trade at higher P/E multiples than that of its peers, but the stock's lofty valuations are not very attractive on an absolute basis if one wants to consider it as an investment candidate.</p><p><blockquote>根据上面提供的同行比较表,就远期市盈率估值指标而言,市场对Lululemon的估值明显高于该公司的上市同行。与所有同行相比,LULU确实拥有优越的收入增长前景,同时其预测的净资产收益率也高于大多数同行。因此,Lululemon确实应该以高于同行的市盈率进行交易,但如果人们想将其视为投资候选者,该股的高估值从绝对基础上来看并不是很有吸引力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>LULU Stock Earnings</b></p><p><blockquote><b>LULU股票收益</b></blockquote></p><p> LULU reported its Q2 2021 earnings on September 8, 2021 after trading hours, and the company's stock price jumped by +11% the next day, from $380.85 to $420.71. It is clear that the market is very satisfied with Lululemon's recent quarterly financial performance.</p><p><blockquote>LULU于2021年9月8日盘后公布了2021年第二季度收益,第二天公司股价上涨+11%,从380.85美元上涨至420.71美元。显然,市场对Lululemon最近的季度财务表现非常满意。</blockquote></p><p> LULU's top line expanded by +61% YoY from $903 million in Q2 2020 to $1,451 million in Q2 2021, while its non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share increased by +123% YoY from $0.74 to$1.65over the same period. Notably, Lululemon's revenue and earnings per share were+9% and +39% higher than the market consensus' forecasts, respectively based on S&P Capital IQ data. As I highlighted in the preceding section with reference to the management's comments, athleisure continues to see strong demand, and Lululemon is a key beneficiary as the leading brand in this segment, which explains the company's good quarterly financial results.</p><p><blockquote>LULU的营收同比增长+61%,从2020年第二季度的9.03亿美元增至2021年第二季度的14.51亿美元,而同期其非GAAP调整后每股收益同比增长+123%,从0.74美元增至1.65美元。值得注意的是,根据标准普尔Capital IQ数据,Lululemon的收入和每股收益分别比市场普遍预测高出+9%和+39%。正如我在上一节中参考管理层评论所强调的那样,运动休闲继续看到强劲的需求,而Lululemon作为该细分市场的领先品牌是主要受益者,这解释了该公司良好的季度财务业绩。</blockquote></p><p> Specifically, the excellent performance of Lululemon's international and e-commerce businesses in the recent quarter is noteworthy. LULU's revenue from international markets grew by +49% YoY in Q2 2021, and this was equivalent to a two-year CAGR of +43%. Lululemon highlighted at the company's Q2 earnings call that \"our international business is ahead of the four times growth (revenue target) we put out to be completed by the end of 2023.\"</p><p><blockquote>具体来看,Lululemon国际和电商业务在最近一个季度的优异表现值得关注。2021年第二季度,LULU来自国际市场的收入同比增长+49%,相当于两年复合年增长率+43%。Lululemon在公司第二季度财报看涨期权上强调,“我们的国际业务领先于我们提出的到2023年底完成的四倍增长(收入目标)。”</blockquote></p><p> On the other hand, LULU's e-commerce sales still increased by+4%YoY (adjusted for foreign exchange effects) in Q2 2021, despite an exceptionally high base in Q2 2020 (+157% YoY e-commerce sales growth). This translates to a two-year e-commerce sales CAGR of approximately +66%. Lululemonrevealedthat it is implementing new initiatives to further drive the growth of its e-commerce business, which includes \"expanding our alternative payment methods, improved storytelling, more predictive search and a more seamless checkout.\"</p><p><blockquote>另一方面,尽管2020年第二季度基数异常高(电子商务销售额同比增长157%),但2021年第二季度露露的电子商务销售额仍同比增长+4%(经外汇影响调整)。这意味着两年电子商务销售额复合年增长率约为+66%。Lululemon透露,它正在实施新举措,以进一步推动其电子商务业务的增长,其中包括“扩大我们的替代支付方式、改进故事讲述、更具预测性的搜索和更无缝的结账。”</blockquote></p><p> Moving ahead, Lululemon is guiding for $6.19-$6.26 billion in revenue and $7.38-$7.48 in earnings per share for full-year fiscal 2021. This is aligned with Wall Street analysts' consensus top line and bottom line of $6.233 billion and $7.48, which translate to YoY growth rates of +41.6% and +59.2%, respectively as per S&P Capital IQ data.</p><p><blockquote>展望未来,Lululemon预计2021财年全年收入为6.19-62.6亿美元,每股收益为7.38-7.48美元。这与华尔街分析师一致的营收和净利润分别为62.33亿美元和7.48美元,根据标准普尔Capital IQ数据,同比增长率分别为+41.6%和+59.2%。</blockquote></p><p> However, there is a real risk that the company disappoints on profitability in the coming quarters.</p><p><blockquote>然而,该公司未来几个季度的盈利能力确实存在令人失望的风险。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Firstly, Lululemon's future investments could be larger than expected. The company guided at its recent results call for FY 2021 SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative) \"deleverage of 10 to 30 basis points versus 2020\" and an increase in capital expenditures this year. LULU attributed this to \"our investment in MIRROR (highlighted in \"Company Description\" section) brand building\", \"MIRROR shop-in-shops\" and \"increased investment in our supply chain, digital capabilities, new store openings and renovations.\" It is not unusual for actual investments to turn out to be greater than what companies budget for.</p><p><blockquote>首先,Lululemon未来的投资可能会超出预期。该公司在最近的业绩中指导2021财年SG&A(销售、一般和行政)看涨期权“与2020年相比去杠杆化10至30个基点”,并增加今年的资本支出。LULU将此归因于“我们对MIRROR(在“公司描述”部分突出显示)品牌建设的投资”、“MIRROR店中店”以及“对我们的供应链、数字化能力、新店开业和装修的投资增加”。实际投资高于公司预算的情况并不罕见。</blockquote></p><p> Secondly, LULU's introduction of footwear products in 2022 could be negative for the company's overall gross profit margin. At its 1Q 2021 earnings call in June 2021, Lululemon mentioned that \"we are bringing footwear next year.\" As a new product line which will begin with relatively lower volume, footwear products are likely to have lower gross profit margins than LULU's existing core products. In other words, Lululemon's sales mix could be less favorable next year, and this could translate to lower gross margins for the company as a whole.</p><p><blockquote>其次,露露在2022年推出鞋类产品可能会对公司整体毛利率产生负面影响。在2021年6月举行的2021年第一季度财报看涨期权上,Lululemon提到“我们明年将推出鞋类产品”。作为一个新产品线,开始时的销量相对较低,鞋类产品的毛利率可能低于露露现有的核心产品。换句话说,Lululemon明年的销售组合可能会不太有利,这可能会导致整个公司的毛利率下降。</blockquote></p><p> Thirdly, lock-downs in Vietnam relating to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the company's business operations. Lululemon acknowledged at its Q2 2021 results briefing that the Vietnam production disruption \"is currently impacting approximately 20% of our second half inventory\", with the country accounting for \"30% of our finished goods.\" A September 13, 2021 <i>Seeking Alpha</i> news article quoted research from <i>BTIG</i> which mentioned that there are \"supply risks in the apparel and footwear sector as the negative impact of Vietnam factory closures becomes clearer.\" LULU's current full-year guidance is based onthe assumptionthat Southern Vietnam commences its re-opening process this month, and if that does not happen, Lululemon's financial numbers in the subsequent quarters could potentially come in below expectations.</p><p><blockquote>第三,越南与COVID-19相关的封锁可能会对公司的业务运营产生不利影响。Lululemon在2021年第二季度业绩简报会上承认,越南生产中断“目前影响了我们下半年约20%的库存”,该国占“我们成品的30%”。a 2021年9月13日<i>寻求阿尔法</i>新闻文章引用了来自<i>BTIG</i>其中提到,“随着越南工厂关闭的负面影响变得更加明显,服装和鞋类行业存在供应风险”。LULU目前的全年指引是基于越南南部本月开始重新开放进程的假设,如果这种情况没有发生,Lululemon随后几个季度的财务数据可能会低于预期。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Is LULU Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>LULU股票是买入、卖出还是持有?</b></blockquote></p><p> LULU stock is a Hold based on my analysis.</p><p><blockquote>根据我的分析,LULU股票值得持有。</blockquote></p><p> I fear that Lululemon could suffer from a valuation de-rating, assuming that the company's future quarterly earnings fall short of market expectations as a result of the various factors that I highlighted in the previous section. That said, I do acknowledge that LULU is the market leader in athleisure with significantmarket share, and its medium-term growth prospects are excellent, especially for the international and e-commerce segments. Considering both the positives and negatives associated with the stock, my opinion is that a Hold rating is fair for Lululemon.</p><p><blockquote>我担心Lululemon可能会遭受估值下调,假设该公司未来的季度收益由于我在上一节中强调的各种因素而低于市场预期。也就是说,我确实承认LULU是运动休闲领域的市场领导者,拥有巨大的市场份额,其中期增长前景非常好,尤其是在国际和电子商务领域。考虑到与该股票相关的积极和消极因素,我认为Lululemon的持有评级是公平的。</blockquote></p><p> LULU's key risks are actual investments exceeding its original budget, a failure to ramp up sales of its new footwear products next year to achieve economies of scale, and prolonged lock-downs in Vietnam which bring greater-than-expected disruptions for the company.</p><p><blockquote>LULU面临的主要风险是实际投资超出了最初的预算,明年未能提高新鞋类产品的销量以实现规模经济,以及越南的长期封锁给公司带来了超出预期的干扰。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Lululemon Stock A Buy Or Sell After Q2 Earnings?

Larger-than-expected investments in the near future, an unfavorable sales mix with the introduction of new footwear products next year, and potential supply chain disruptions could be a potential drag on LULU's forward earnings.</p><p><blockquote>过去几个月,与主要基准股指相比,Lululemon的股价表现显着优于主要基准股指,而在最近的股价上涨之后,该股目前的估值并没有那么有吸引力。近期超出预期的投资、明年推出新鞋类产品带来的不利销售组合以及潜在的供应链中断可能会拖累LULU的预期收益。</blockquote></p><p> My rating for Lululemon is a Hold or Neutral. On one hand, I am positive on LULU's better-than-expected Q2 results and its long-term growth prospects. On the flip side, LULU's premium valuations and recent share price run have priced in the near-term positives for the company, while there are downside risks relating to its future earnings outlook.</p><p><blockquote>我对Lululemon的评级是持有或中性。一方面,我对LULU好于预期的第二季度业绩及其长期增长前景持乐观态度。另一方面,LULU的溢价估值和近期股价上涨已经反映了该公司近期的积极因素,同时其未来盈利前景也存在下行风险。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Company Description</b></p><p><blockquote><b>公司简介</b></blockquote></p><p> In its press releases, Lululemon Athletica Inc refers to itself as \"a healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training, and most other sweaty pursuits\". LULU was established in 1998, and the company's shares were listed on the Nasdaq in 2007.</p><p><blockquote>在其新闻稿中,Lululemon Athletica Inc将自己称为“一家受健康生活方式启发的运动服装公司,提供瑜伽、跑步、训练和大多数其他出汗活动”。露露成立于1998年,公司股票于2007年在纳斯达克上市。</blockquote></p><p> As of August 1, 2021, Lululemon boasted a network of 534 storesthat are located in 17 different markets. LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"</p><p><blockquote>截至2021年8月1日,Lululemon拥有位于17个不同市场的534家门店网络。2021财年上半年,LULU来自美国、加拿大和国际市场的收入分别占公司收入的69%、14%和17%。公司经营的商店、直接面向消费者的业务和其他业务分别贡献了其2021年上半年销售额的46%、43%和11%。在该公司最新的10-Q文件中,Lululemon Athletica将其他业务部门定义为“门店、临时地点、批发账户销售、许可和供应安排以及MIRROR(2020年收购的家庭健身房业务)”。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Lululemon Stock Price</b></p><p><blockquote><b>露露柠檬股价</b></blockquote></p><p> Lululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.</p><p><blockquote>Lululemon的股价今年迄今和过去一年分别上涨了+20.4%和+32.8%,非常密切地跟踪了标普500和纳斯达克综合指数的表现。然而,LULU在过去几个月开始跑赢主要基准股指。在过去的六个月里,Lululemon的股价上涨了33.3%,而同期纳斯达克综合指数和标普500指数的涨幅仅在十几岁左右。在过去三个月中,LULU的股价上涨了+25.0%,而同期纳斯达克综合指数和标普500分别上涨了+7.7%和+5.5%。</blockquote></p><p> LULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.</p><p><blockquote>LULU 2021年第一季度和第二季度的盈利均好于预期,这显然有助于推动该公司近期股价表现强劲。更重要的是,Lululemon Athletica今年上半年超出预期的财务业绩暗示着该公司拥有有利于其的结构性增长驱动力,而不仅仅是在COVID-19高峰期在家工作或WFH的一次性顺风中受益。</blockquote></p><p> At its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\". The company also emphasized that its \"brand is early innings across product with activities where we focus on\" and \"gaining market share across categories\".</p><p><blockquote>在最近的第二季度业绩发布会上,Lululemon指出,“疫情推动了一些发挥我们品牌优势的客人行为”,其中包括“一般健身意识”、“健康,生活得好”和“功能性服装的重要性”。该公司还强调,其“品牌是我们关注的产品和活动的早期阶段”和“获得跨类别的市场份额”。</blockquote></p><p> Separately, it is critical to examine if whether Lululemon's recent share price outperformance makes it less attractive as a potential investment candidate in terms of valuations.</p><p><blockquote>另外,至关重要的是要考察Lululemon最近的股价表现是否会降低其作为潜在投资候选者的估值吸引力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Peer Valuation Comparison For LULU</b></p><p><blockquote><b>LULU的同行估值比较</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Stock</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Current Fiscal Year ROE Metric</b></td> <td><b>Consensus Forward One Fiscal Year ROE Metric</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Lululemon</b></td> <td>56.0</td> <td>47.1</td> <td>+41.6%</td> <td>+15.0%</td> <td>33.4%</td> <td>34.8%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Canada Goose Holdings Inc.

LULU does boast superior revenue growth prospects as compared to all of its peers, while its forecasted ROEs are higher than the majority of its peers as well. As such, Lululemon does deserve to trade at higher P/E multiples than that of its peers, but the stock's lofty valuations are not very attractive on an absolute basis if one wants to consider it as an investment candidate.</p><p><blockquote>根据上面提供的同行比较表,就远期市盈率估值指标而言,市场对Lululemon的估值明显高于该公司的上市同行。与所有同行相比,LULU确实拥有优越的收入增长前景,同时其预测的净资产收益率也高于大多数同行。因此,Lululemon确实应该以高于同行的市盈率进行交易,但如果人们想将其视为投资候选者,该股的高估值从绝对基础上来看并不是很有吸引力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>LULU Stock Earnings</b></p><p><blockquote><b>LULU股票收益</b></blockquote></p><p> LULU reported its Q2 2021 earnings on September 8, 2021 after trading hours, and the company's stock price jumped by +11% the next day, from $380.85 to $420.71. It is clear that the market is very satisfied with Lululemon's recent quarterly financial performance.</p><p><blockquote>LULU于2021年9月8日盘后公布了2021年第二季度收益,第二天公司股价上涨+11%,从380.85美元上涨至420.71美元。显然,市场对Lululemon最近的季度财务表现非常满意。</blockquote></p><p> LULU's top line expanded by +61% YoY from $903 million in Q2 2020 to $1,451 million in Q2 2021, while its non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share increased by +123% YoY from $0.74 to$1.65over the same period. Notably, Lululemon's revenue and earnings per share were+9% and +39% higher than the market consensus' forecasts, respectively based on S&P Capital IQ data. As I highlighted in the preceding section with reference to the management's comments, athleisure continues to see strong demand, and Lululemon is a key beneficiary as the leading brand in this segment, which explains the company's good quarterly financial results.</p><p><blockquote>LULU的营收同比增长+61%,从2020年第二季度的9.03亿美元增至2021年第二季度的14.51亿美元,而同期其非GAAP调整后每股收益同比增长+123%,从0.74美元增至1.65美元。值得注意的是,根据标准普尔Capital IQ数据,Lululemon的收入和每股收益分别比市场普遍预测高出+9%和+39%。正如我在上一节中参考管理层评论所强调的那样,运动休闲继续看到强劲的需求,而Lululemon作为该细分市场的领先品牌是主要受益者,这解释了该公司良好的季度财务业绩。</blockquote></p><p> Specifically, the excellent performance of Lululemon's international and e-commerce businesses in the recent quarter is noteworthy. LULU's revenue from international markets grew by +49% YoY in Q2 2021, and this was equivalent to a two-year CAGR of +43%. Lululemon highlighted at the company's Q2 earnings call that \"our international business is ahead of the four times growth (revenue target) we put out to be completed by the end of 2023.\"</p><p><blockquote>具体来看,Lululemon国际和电商业务在最近一个季度的优异表现值得关注。2021年第二季度,LULU来自国际市场的收入同比增长+49%,相当于两年复合年增长率+43%。Lululemon在公司第二季度财报看涨期权上强调,“我们的国际业务领先于我们提出的到2023年底完成的四倍增长(收入目标)。”</blockquote></p><p> On the other hand, LULU's e-commerce sales still increased by+4%YoY (adjusted for foreign exchange effects) in Q2 2021, despite an exceptionally high base in Q2 2020 (+157% YoY e-commerce sales growth). This translates to a two-year e-commerce sales CAGR of approximately +66%. Lululemonrevealedthat it is implementing new initiatives to further drive the growth of its e-commerce business, which includes \"expanding our alternative payment methods, improved storytelling, more predictive search and a more seamless checkout.\"</p><p><blockquote>另一方面,尽管2020年第二季度基数异常高(电子商务销售额同比增长157%),但2021年第二季度露露的电子商务销售额仍同比增长+4%(经外汇影响调整)。这意味着两年电子商务销售额复合年增长率约为+66%。Lululemon透露,它正在实施新举措,以进一步推动其电子商务业务的增长,其中包括“扩大我们的替代支付方式、改进故事讲述、更具预测性的搜索和更无缝的结账。”</blockquote></p><p> Moving ahead, Lululemon is guiding for $6.19-$6.26 billion in revenue and $7.38-$7.48 in earnings per share for full-year fiscal 2021. This is aligned with Wall Street analysts' consensus top line and bottom line of $6.233 billion and $7.48, which translate to YoY growth rates of +41.6% and +59.2%, respectively as per S&P Capital IQ data.</p><p><blockquote>展望未来,Lululemon预计2021财年全年收入为6.19-62.6亿美元,每股收益为7.38-7.48美元。这与华尔街分析师一致的营收和净利润分别为62.33亿美元和7.48美元,根据标准普尔Capital IQ数据,同比增长率分别为+41.6%和+59.2%。</blockquote></p><p> However, there is a real risk that the company disappoints on profitability in the coming quarters.</p><p><blockquote>然而,该公司未来几个季度的盈利能力确实存在令人失望的风险。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Firstly, Lululemon's future investments could be larger than expected. The company guided at its recent results call for FY 2021 SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative) \"deleverage of 10 to 30 basis points versus 2020\" and an increase in capital expenditures this year. LULU attributed this to \"our investment in MIRROR (highlighted in \"Company Description\" section) brand building\", \"MIRROR shop-in-shops\" and \"increased investment in our supply chain, digital capabilities, new store openings and renovations.\" It is not unusual for actual investments to turn out to be greater than what companies budget for.</p><p><blockquote>首先,Lululemon未来的投资可能会超出预期。该公司在最近的业绩中指导2021财年SG&A(销售、一般和行政)看涨期权“与2020年相比去杠杆化10至30个基点”,并增加今年的资本支出。LULU将此归因于“我们对MIRROR(在“公司描述”部分突出显示)品牌建设的投资”、“MIRROR店中店”以及“对我们的供应链、数字化能力、新店开业和装修的投资增加”。实际投资高于公司预算的情况并不罕见。</blockquote></p><p> Secondly, LULU's introduction of footwear products in 2022 could be negative for the company's overall gross profit margin. At its 1Q 2021 earnings call in June 2021, Lululemon mentioned that \"we are bringing footwear next year.\" As a new product line which will begin with relatively lower volume, footwear products are likely to have lower gross profit margins than LULU's existing core products. In other words, Lululemon's sales mix could be less favorable next year, and this could translate to lower gross margins for the company as a whole.</p><p><blockquote>其次,露露在2022年推出鞋类产品可能会对公司整体毛利率产生负面影响。在2021年6月举行的2021年第一季度财报看涨期权上,Lululemon提到“我们明年将推出鞋类产品”。作为一个新产品线,开始时的销量相对较低,鞋类产品的毛利率可能低于露露现有的核心产品。换句话说,Lululemon明年的销售组合可能会不太有利,这可能会导致整个公司的毛利率下降。</blockquote></p><p> Thirdly, lock-downs in Vietnam relating to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the company's business operations.

Larger-than-expected investments in the near future, an unfavorable sales mix with the introduction of new footwear products next year, and potential supply chain disruptions could be a potential drag on LULU's forward earnings.\nMy rating for Lululemon is a Hold or Neutral. On one hand, I am positive on LULU's better-than-expected Q2 results and its long-term growth prospects. On the flip side, LULU's premium valuations and recent share price run have priced in the near-term positives for the company, while there are downside risks relating to its future earnings outlook.\nCompany Description\nIn its press releases, Lululemon Athletica Inc refers to itself as \"a healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company for yoga, running, training, and most other sweaty pursuits\". LULU was established in 1998, and the company's shares were listed on the Nasdaq in 2007.\nAs of August 1, 2021, Lululemon boasted a network of 534 storesthat are located in 17 different markets. LULU generated 69%, 14% and 17%of the company's revenue from the US, Canada and international markets, respectively in the first half of FY 2021. The company-operated stores, the direct-to-consumer business, and others contributed 46%, 43% and 11% of its 1H 2021 sales, respectively. In the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Lululemon Athletica defines the others business segment as \"outlets, temporary locations, sales to wholesale accounts, license and supply arrangements, and MIRROR (home gym business acquired in2020).\"\nLululemon Stock Price\nLululemon's stock price increased by +20.4% and +32.8% in the year-to-date and past one-year time periods, respectively which tracked the performance of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite very closely. However, LULU started to outperform the key benchmark stock indices in the last couple of months. In the past six months, Lululemon's share price rose by+33.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 were only up in the low-teens percentages over the same period. In the last three months, LULU's shares went up by +25.0%, as compared to the +7.7% and +5.5% increases for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500, respectively during the same time.\nLULU's earnings beat for both the first and second quarter of 2021 clearly helped to drive the company's recent strong stock price performance. More significantly, Lululemon Athletica's above-expectations financial performance in the first half of this year implies that the company has structural growth drivers working in its favor, instead of merely being a beneficiary of one-off Work-From-Home or WFH tailwinds during the peak of COVID-19.\nAt its recent second-quarter results briefing, Lululemon noted that \"the pandemic drove forward, accelerated some of the guest behaviors that play to the strength of our brand\" which included \"general fitness awareness\", \"being well, living well\" and \"the importance of functional apparel\". The company also emphasized that its \"brand is early innings across product with activities where we focus on\" and \"gaining market share across categories\".\nSeparately, it is critical to examine if whether Lululemon's recent share price outperformance makes it less attractive as a potential investment candidate in terms of valuations.\nPeer Valuation Comparison For LULU\n\n\n\nStock\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year Normalized P/E Multiple\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year Revenue Growth Metric\nConsensus Current Fiscal Year ROE Metric\nConsensus Forward One Fiscal Year ROE Metric\n\n\nLululemon\n56.0\n47.1\n+41.6%\n+15.0%\n33.4%\n34.8%\n\n\nCanada Goose Holdings Inc.

LULU does boast superior revenue growth prospects as compared to all of its peers, while its forecasted ROEs are higher than the majority of its peers as well. As such, Lululemon does deserve to trade at higher P/E multiples than that of its peers, but the stock's lofty valuations are not very attractive on an absolute basis if one wants to consider it as an investment candidate.\nLULU Stock Earnings\nLULU reported its Q2 2021 earnings on September 8, 2021 after trading hours, and the company's stock price jumped by +11% the next day, from $380.85 to $420.71. It is clear that the market is very satisfied with Lululemon's recent quarterly financial performance.\nLULU's top line expanded by +61% YoY from $903 million in Q2 2020 to $1,451 million in Q2 2021, while its non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share increased by +123% YoY from $0.74 to$1.65over the same period. Notably, Lululemon's revenue and earnings per share were+9% and +39% higher than the market consensus' forecasts, respectively based on S&P Capital IQ data. As I highlighted in the preceding section with reference to the management's comments, athleisure continues to see strong demand, and Lululemon is a key beneficiary as the leading brand in this segment, which explains the company's good quarterly financial results.\nSpecifically, the excellent performance of Lululemon's international and e-commerce businesses in the recent quarter is noteworthy. LULU's revenue from international markets grew by +49% YoY in Q2 2021, and this was equivalent to a two-year CAGR of +43%. Lululemon highlighted at the company's Q2 earnings call that \"our international business is ahead of the four times growth (revenue target) we put out to be completed by the end of 2023.\"\nOn the other hand, LULU's e-commerce sales still increased by+4%YoY (adjusted for foreign exchange effects) in Q2 2021, despite an exceptionally high base in Q2 2020 (+157% YoY e-commerce sales growth). This translates to a two-year e-commerce sales CAGR of approximately +66%. Lululemonrevealedthat it is implementing new initiatives to further drive the growth of its e-commerce business, which includes \"expanding our alternative payment methods, improved storytelling, more predictive search and a more seamless checkout.\"\nMoving ahead, Lululemon is guiding for $6.19-$6.26 billion in revenue and $7.38-$7.48 in earnings per share for full-year fiscal 2021. This is aligned with Wall Street analysts' consensus top line and bottom line of $6.233 billion and $7.48, which translate to YoY growth rates of +41.6% and +59.2%, respectively as per S&P Capital IQ data.\nHowever, there is a real risk that the company disappoints on profitability in the coming quarters.\nFirstly, Lululemon's future investments could be larger than expected. The company guided at its recent results call for FY 2021 SG&A (Selling, General & Administrative) \"deleverage of 10 to 30 basis points versus 2020\" and an increase in capital expenditures this year. LULU attributed this to \"our investment in MIRROR (highlighted in \"Company Description\" section) brand building\", \"MIRROR shop-in-shops\" and \"increased investment in our supply chain, digital capabilities, new store openings and renovations.\" It is not unusual for actual investments to turn out to be greater than what companies budget for.\nSecondly, LULU's introduction of footwear products in 2022 could be negative for the company's overall gross profit margin. At its 1Q 2021 earnings call in June 2021, Lululemon mentioned that \"we are bringing footwear next year.\" As a new product line which will begin with relatively lower volume, footwear products are likely to have lower gross profit margins than LULU's existing core products. In other words, Lululemon's sales mix could be less favorable next year, and this could translate to lower gross margins for the company as a whole.\nThirdly, lock-downs in Vietnam relating to COVID-19 could have an adverse impact on the company's business operations. Lululemon acknowledged at its Q2 2021 results briefing that the Vietnam production disruption \"is currently impacting approximately 20% of our second half inventory\", with the country accounting for \"30% of our finished goods.\" A September 13, 2021 Seeking Alpha news article quoted research from BTIG which mentioned that there are \"supply risks in the apparel and footwear sector as the negative impact of Vietnam factory closures becomes clearer.\" LULU's current full-year guidance is based onthe assumptionthat Southern Vietnam commences its re-opening process this month, and if that does not happen, Lululemon's financial numbers in the subsequent quarters could potentially come in below expectations.\nIs LULU Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?\nLULU stock is a Hold based on my analysis.\nI fear that Lululemon could suffer from a valuation de-rating, assuming that the company's future quarterly earnings fall short of market expectations as a result of the various factors that I highlighted in the previous section. That said, I do acknowledge that LULU is the market leader in athleisure with significantmarket share, and its medium-term growth prospects are excellent, especially for the international and e-commerce segments. Considering both the positives and negatives associated with the stock, my opinion is that a Hold rating is fair for Lululemon.\nLULU's key risks are actual investments exceeding its original budget, a failure to ramp up sales of its new footwear products next year to achieve economies of scale, and prolonged lock-downs in Vietnam which bring greater-than-expected disruptions for the company.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"LULU":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3157,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885148899,"gmtCreate":1631769904811,"gmtModify":1631889755184,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/885148899","repostId":"2167592712","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2012,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888597987,"gmtCreate":1631505221949,"gmtModify":1631889755195,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/888597987","repostId":"2166303094","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2581,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889227376,"gmtCreate":1631152640895,"gmtModify":1631889755210,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/889227376","repostId":"2166392072","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889105821,"gmtCreate":1631112532663,"gmtModify":1631889755220,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559873043762670","idStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/889105821","repostId":"1154837170","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154837170","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631090918,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1154837170?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-08 16:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin Endured a Rocky Day.

Details about its exact plans are not included in the application, and Tesla did not respond to a request for comment. But the company said in its filing it plans to sell electricity directly to consumers, with a focus on those who already own Tesla cars.</p><p><blockquote>它已向德克萨斯州公用事业委员会申请发电并直接出售给公众。申请中没有包含有关其具体计划的细节,特斯拉也没有回应置评请求。但该公司在文件中表示,计划直接向消费者出售电力,重点是那些已经拥有特斯拉汽车的人。</blockquote></p><p> The filing was first reported by Texas Monthly.</p><p><blockquote>《德克萨斯月刊》首先报道了这份文件。</blockquote></p><p> The company best known for being the largest electric vehicle company in the world also has a solar energy unit. Most of that business is focused on installing solar panels on homes or other buildings, which are then linked to batteries, which Tesla has branded as Powerwalls, used to store excess power captured during the day to provide power at night.</p><p><blockquote>这家以世界上最大的电动汽车公司而闻名的公司也有一个太阳能部门。该业务的大部分重点是在家庭或其他建筑物上安装太阳能电池板,然后将其连接到电池上,特斯拉将其称为Powerwalls,用于存储白天捕获的多余电力,以便在夜间供电。</blockquote></p><p> But Tesla has a very low-profile business known as \"Megapack\" that builds very large batteries used to store utility-scale amounts of electricity. It built the first of those massive batteries in Hornsdale, Australia, in 2017, and has since expanded the product to other locations.</p><p><blockquote>但特斯拉有一项名为“Megapack”的非常低调的业务,该业务生产非常大的电池,用于存储公用事业规模的电力。该公司于2017年在澳大利亚霍恩斯代尔制造了第一个大型电池,此后将该产品扩展到其他地点。</blockquote></p><p> \"Battery storage is transforming the global electric grid and is an increasingly important element of the world's transition to sustainable energy,\" it said in a 2019 blog post. \"To match global demand for massive battery storage projects like Hornsdale, Tesla designed and engineered a new battery product specifically for utility-scale projects.\"</p><p><blockquote>该公司在2019年的一篇博客文章中表示:“电池存储正在改变全球电网,并且是世界向可持续能源转型中越来越重要的元素。”“为了满足全球对霍恩斯代尔等大型电池存储项目的需求,特斯拉专门为公用事业规模项目设计和制造了一种新型电池产品。”</blockquote></p><p> It's a growing business. Tesla has said it is investing more of its available cash in its Megapack. Utilities have reported plans to install over 10,000 megawatts of additional large-scale battery power capacity from 2021 through 2023 from all manner of battery suppliers, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That's up from only 1,650 megawatts of large-scale capacity in place at the end of last year.</p><p><blockquote>这是一个不断增长的行业。特斯拉表示,它正在将更多可用现金投资于其Megapack。据美国能源情报署称,公用事业公司已报告计划从2021年到2023年从各种电池供应商那里额外安装超过10,000兆瓦的大型电池发电容量。这高于去年年底仅有1,650兆瓦的大规模产能。</blockquote></p><p> Bloomberg reported earlier this year that Gambit Energy Storage LLC, a Tesla subsidiary, is quietly building a more than 100 megawatt energy storage project in Angleton, Texas, a town roughly 40 miles south of Houston. A battery that size could power about 20,000 homes on a hot summer day.</p><p><blockquote>彭博社今年早些时候报道称,特斯拉旗下的Gambit Energy Storage LLC正在休斯敦以南约40英里的德克萨斯安格尔顿镇悄悄建设一个超过100兆瓦的储能项目。在炎热的夏天,这种尺寸的电池可以为大约20,000个家庭供电。</blockquote></p><p> But, so far, Tesla has sold Megapacks only to other companies and Tesla has not tried to sell directly to consumers. That would change, according to its filing.</p><p><blockquote>但是,到目前为止,特斯拉只向其他公司销售Megapacks,特斯拉还没有尝试直接向消费者销售。根据其文件,这种情况将会改变。</blockquote></p><p> Despite its long association with oil and natural gas, Texas has the third most EVs in the country, behind only California and Florida, according to recent statistics from Electrek. Texas also generates a significant portion of electrical power through solar and wind power, sources of power that need to have storage of electricity since they are not constantly available. Texas generates by far the greatest amount of electricity from wind power of any state and is second only to California for the amount of electricity coming from to solar power, according to the EIA.</p><p><blockquote>根据Electrek最近的统计数据,尽管德克萨斯州与石油和天然气有着长期的联系,但其电动汽车数量在全国排名第三,仅次于加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州。德克萨斯州还通过太阳能和风能产生很大一部分电力,这些电力来源需要储存电力,因为它们并不总是可用。根据美国能源情报署的数据,德克萨斯州是迄今为止风力发电量最大的州,太阳能发电量仅次于加利福尼亚州。</blockquote></p><p> But its electrical grid suffered a massive failure due to a winter storm in February. Part of the problem was that Texas is the only state in the continental United States not tied into the national grid, which would allow it to tap into other states' electricity supplies at times of crisis. Some electric companies have filed for bankruptcy since then.</p><p><blockquote>但由于二月份的冬季风暴,其电网遭受了大规模故障。部分问题在于,德克萨斯州是美国大陆唯一一个没有接入国家电网的州,这将使其能够在危机时期利用其他州的电力供应。此后,一些电力公司申请破产。</blockquote></p><p> CEO Elon Musk made reference to the need for more electrical storage if utilities in Texas are to avoid the problems of this past winter.</p><p><blockquote>首席执行官埃隆·马斯克提到,如果德克萨斯州的公用事业公司要避免去年冬天的问题,就需要更多的电力存储。</blockquote></p><p> \"In Texas, there was a peak power demand, and ... because the grid lacks the ability to buffer the power, they have to shut down power. There's no power storage,\" he said in a call with investors in April.

Tesla has said it is investing more of its available cash in its Megapack. Utilities have reported plans to install over 10,000 megawatts of additional large-scale battery power capacity from 2021 through 2023 from all manner of battery suppliers, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That's up from only 1,650 megawatts of large-scale capacity in place at the end of last year.</p><p><blockquote>这是一个不断增长的行业。特斯拉表示,它正在将更多可用现金投资于其Megapack。据美国能源情报署称,公用事业公司已报告计划从2021年到2023年从各种电池供应商那里额外安装超过10,000兆瓦的大型电池发电容量。这高于去年年底仅有1,650兆瓦的大规模产能。</blockquote></p><p> Bloomberg reported earlier this year that Gambit Energy Storage LLC, a Tesla subsidiary, is quietly building a more than 100 megawatt energy storage project in Angleton, Texas, a town roughly 40 miles south of Houston.

That would change, according to its filing.</p><p><blockquote>但是,到目前为止,特斯拉只向其他公司销售Megapacks,特斯拉还没有尝试直接向消费者销售。根据其文件,这种情况将会改变。</blockquote></p><p> Despite its long association with oil and natural gas, Texas has the third most EVs in the country, behind only California and Florida, according to recent statistics from Electrek. Texas also generates a significant portion of electrical power through solar and wind power, sources of power that need to have storage of electricity since they are not constantly available. Texas generates by far the greatest amount of electricity from wind power of any state and is second only to California for the amount of electricity coming from to solar power, according to the EIA.</p><p><blockquote>根据Electrek最近的统计数据,尽管德克萨斯州与石油和天然气有着长期的联系,但其电动汽车数量在全国排名第三,仅次于加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州。德克萨斯州还通过太阳能和风能产生很大一部分电力,这些电力来源需要储存电力,因为它们并不总是可用。根据美国能源情报署的数据,德克萨斯州是迄今为止风力发电量最大的州,太阳能发电量仅次于加利福尼亚州。</blockquote></p><p> But its electrical grid suffered a massive failure due to a winter storm in February. Part of the problem was that Texas is the only state in the continental United States not tied into the national grid, which would allow it to tap into other states' electricity supplies at times of crisis. Some electric companies have filed for bankruptcy since then.</p><p><blockquote>但由于二月份的冬季风暴,其电网遭受了大规模故障。部分问题在于,德克萨斯州是美国大陆唯一一个没有接入国家电网的州,这将使其能够在危机时期利用其他州的电力供应。此后,一些电力公司申请破产。</blockquote></p><p> CEO Elon Musk made reference to the need for more electrical storage if utilities in Texas are to avoid the problems of this past winter.</p><p><blockquote>首席执行官埃隆·马斯克提到,如果德克萨斯州的公用事业公司要避免去年冬天的问题,就需要更多的电力存储。</blockquote></p><p> \"In Texas, there was a peak power demand, and ... because the grid lacks the ability to buffer the power, they have to shut down power.

Qualcomm was recently hit by one-off issues like bad weather in Texas that disrupted production, but the company has good exposure to the 5G phone trend. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ON\">ON Semiconductor</a> is expanding beyond phones into new areas like autos, industrial and the Internet of Things connected-device space.</p><p><blockquote>两者都具有稳健的盈利能力。高通最近受到了一次性问题的打击,例如德克萨斯州的恶劣天气导致生产中断,但该公司对5G手机趋势有很好的了解。<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ON\">安森美半导体</a>正在从手机扩展到汽车、工业和物联网互联设备领域等新领域。</blockquote></p><p> <b>A data center and gaming play</b></p><p><blockquote><b>数据中心和游戏</b></blockquote></p><p> Karazeris also singles out Nvidia,which gets a continuing boost from its exposure to data center and gaming device chip demand — because of its superior design prowess.</p><p><blockquote>Karazeris还特别提到了Nvidia,该公司因其卓越的设计能力而从数据中心和游戏设备芯片需求中获得持续增长。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Design tool companies</b></p><p><blockquote><b>设计工具公司</b></blockquote></p><p> Speaking of design, when companies like Qualcomm and NVIDIA want to design chips, they turn to the design tools supplied by Cadence Design Systems and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNPS\">Synopsys</a>.</p><p><blockquote>说到设计,当像高通和英伟达这样的公司想要设计芯片时,他们会求助于Cadence Design Systems提供的设计工具和<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNPS\">新思科技</a>.</blockquote></p><p> Their software-based design tools help chip innovators create the blueprint for their chips, explains Rotonti at Motley Fool, who singles out these names. “They are not the fastest growers in the world, but they have good profit margins.” They also dominate the space.</p><p><blockquote>Motley Fool的Rotonti解释说,他们基于软件的设计工具帮助芯片创新者为他们的芯片创建蓝图,他挑出了这些名字。“他们不是世界上最快的种植者,但他们有很好的利润率。”他们也主宰着这个空间。</blockquote></p><p> <b>An EUV play</b></p><p><blockquote><b>EUV播放</b></blockquote></p><p> To put those blueprints onto silicon in the early stages of chip production, companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung turn to ASML. Its machines use tiny bursts of light to stencil chip designs onto silicon wafers, in a process called extreme ultraviolet lithography. “No one else has figured out how to do it,” says Rotonti.</p><p><blockquote>为了在芯片生产的早期阶段将这些蓝图放在硅上,台积电和三星等公司转向ASML。它的机器使用微小的光脉冲将芯片设计模板到硅片上,这一过程被称为极紫外光刻。“没有人知道如何做到这一点,”罗通蒂说。</blockquote></p><p> In other words, it has a monopoly position in supplying machines that do this – which are necessary for any company that wants to make leading edge chips.</p><p><blockquote>换句话说,它在供应做到这一点的机器方面拥有垄断地位——这对于任何想要制造领先芯片的公司来说都是必要的。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Risks</b></p><p><blockquote><b>风险</b></blockquote></p><p> Here are some of the chief risks for chip sector investors to watch.</p><p><blockquote>以下是芯片行业投资者需要关注的一些主要风险。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Oversupply</b></p><p><blockquote><b>供应过剩</b></blockquote></p><p> Chip production has become politicized. The U.S. wants more production at home so it is not vulnerable to disruptions in Chinese supply chains. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> wants to make 70% of the chips it uses by 2025, up from 5% now, says Winborne.</p><p><blockquote>芯片生产已经政治化。美国希望在国内生产更多产品,这样就不会受到中国供应链中断的影响。<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">中国</a>Winborne表示,希望到2025年生产70%的芯片,高于目前的5%。</blockquote></p><p> The upshot here is that there’s lots of government support to boost manufacturing – so there will be much more of it. The risk is oversupply at some point in the future. This might also create a pull forward in chip equipment purchases — leading to a lull down the road which could hurt sales and margin trends at equipment makers.</p><p><blockquote>这里的结果是,有大量的政府支持来促进制造业——所以会有更多的支持。风险在于未来某个时候供应过剩。这也可能会推动芯片设备的购买,导致未来的平静,这可能会损害设备制造商的销售和利润趋势。</blockquote></p><p> Next, big tech companies like Alphabet,Apple and Ammazon.com are all doing their own chip design, which threatens specialized chip companies that do the same thing.</p><p><blockquote>接下来,像Alphabet、苹果和亚马逊这样的大型科技公司都在做自己的芯片设计,这威胁到了做同样事情的专业芯片公司。</blockquote></p><p> <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTM\">Quantum</a> computing</b></p><p><blockquote><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTM\">量子的</a>计算机的</b></blockquote></p><p> Computers using chip designs based on quantum physics instead of traditional semiconductor architectures have superior performance, points out Scolaro at William Blair. “While it probably won’t become mainstream for at least another five years, quantum computing has the potential to transform everything from technology to healthcare.”</p><p><blockquote>William Blair的Scolaro指出,使用基于量子物理学的芯片设计而不是传统半导体架构的计算机具有卓越的性能。“虽然量子计算可能至少在未来五年内不会成为主流,但它有潜力改变从技术到医疗保健的一切。”</blockquote></p><p> <b>A disturbing signal</b></p><p><blockquote><b>令人不安的信号</b></blockquote></p><p> A blend of global purchasing managers (PMI) indexes peaked in April and then decelerated for three months. Meanwhile chip sales growth continued. Normally the two follow the same trend, points out Karazeris, who tracks this indicator at Thrivent. He chalks the divergence up to inventory building which is less sustainable than true end-market demand. So, he takes the divergence as a bearish signal for the chip sector.</p><p><blockquote>全球采购经理人指数(PMI)在4月份达到顶峰,然后连续三个月减速。与此同时,芯片销售持续增长。在Thrivent跟踪这一指标的Karazeris指出,通常情况下,两者遵循相同的趋势。他将这种差异归因于库存建设,而库存建设的可持续性不如真实的终端市场需求。因此,他将这种背离视为芯片行业的看跌信号。</blockquote></p><p> Another cautionary sign comes from the forecasted weakness in pricing for dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips. “These are typically things you see at tops of cycles not the bottoms,” says Karazeris.</p><p><blockquote>另一个警告信号来自动态随机存取存储器(DRAM)芯片定价的预测疲软。“这些通常是你在周期顶部而不是底部看到的事情,”卡拉泽里斯说。</blockquote></p><p> But it’s also possible the slowdown in the global PMI is more a reflection of chip shortages than a sign that the shortages aren’t real (and are just inventory building). “The divergence doesn’t necessarily mean that chip orders are going to roll over and die. It means chip manufacturing has to catch up,” says Leuthold economist and strategist Jim Paulsen.</p><p><blockquote>但全球PMI放缓也有可能更多地反映了芯片短缺,而不是表明短缺并不真实(只是库存增加)。Leuthold经济学家兼策略师吉姆·保尔森(Jim Paulsen)表示:“这种分歧并不一定意味着芯片订单会滚动并死亡。这意味着芯片制造业必须迎头赶上。”</blockquote></p><p> Ford,for example, just announced it had to curtail production because of chip shortages, not a shortfall in underlying demand.</p><p><blockquote>例如,福特刚刚宣布,由于芯片短缺,而不是潜在需求短缺,它不得不削减产量。</blockquote></p><p> Paulsen predicts decent economic growth is sustainable because of factors like high savings rates, the rebound in employment and incomes as well as pent-up demand for big ticket items. If he’s right, the continued economic strength would support demand for all the products that use chips – including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford</a> cars.</p><p><blockquote>保尔森预测,由于高储蓄率、就业和收入反弹以及被压抑的大件商品需求等因素,良好的经济增长是可持续的。如果他是对的,持续的经济实力将支持对所有使用芯片的产品的需求——包括<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">福特</a>汽车。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Buy the pullback in chip stocks — and focus on these 6 companies for the long haul<blockquote>买入芯片股回调——长期关注这6家公司</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBuy the pullback in chip stocks — and focus on these 6 companies for the long haul<blockquote>买入芯片股回调——长期关注这6家公司</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">MarketWatch</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-08-23 22:18</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p><b>The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs.</b></p><p><blockquote><b>iShares半导体ETF较近期高点下跌超过6%。</b></blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b24e4a76a5d1cd0ff030cf1b0eeac0f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>ISTOCKPHOTO</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>ISTOCKPHOTO</span></p></blockquote></p><p> In the rolling correction that’s running through the stock market, chip makers have been hit harder than most.</p><p><blockquote>在股市的滚动调整中,芯片制造商受到的打击比大多数制造商都要严重。</blockquote></p><p> The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs, compared to declines of 2% or less for the S&P 500,Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.</p><p><blockquote>iShares半导体ETF较近期高点下跌超过6%,而标普500、纳斯达克综合指数和道琼斯工业平均指数的跌幅为2%或更少。</blockquote></p><p> Does that make chip stocks a buy?

Or is this historically cyclical sector up to its old tricks and headed into a sustained downtrend that will rip your face off.\nA lot depends on your timeline but if you like to own stocks for years rather than rent them for days, the group is a buy. The chief reason: “It’s different this time.”\nThose are admittedly among the scariest words in investing. But the chip sector has changed so much it really is different now – in ways that suggest it is less likely to crush you.\nYou’d be a fool to think there are no risks. I’ll go over those. But first, here are the three main reasons why the group is “safer” now – and six names favored by the half-dozen sector experts I’ve talked with over the past several days.\n1. The wicked witch of cyclicality is dead\n“Demand in the chip sector was always boom and bust, driven by product cycles,” says David Winborne, a portfolio manager at Impax Asset Management. “First PCs, then servers, then phones.” But now demand for chips has broadened across the economy so the secular growth story is more predictable, he says.\nJust look around you. Because of the increased “digitalization” of our lives and work, there’s greater diversity of end market demand from all angles. Think remote office services like Zoom, online shopping, cloud services, electric vehicles, 5G phones, smart factories, big data computing and even washing machines, points out Hendi Susanto, a portfolio manager and tech analyst at Gabelli Funds who is bullish on the group.\n“There is no aspect of the modern digital economy that can function without semiconductors,” says Motley Fool chip sector analyst John Rotonti. “That means more chips going into everything. The long-term demand is there.”\nHe’s not kidding. Chip sector revenue will double by 2030 to $1 trillion from $465 billion in 2020, predicts William Blair analyst Greg Scolaro.\nAll of this means the widespread supply shortages you’ve been hearing about “likely won’t be cured until sometime late next year,” says Bank of America chip sector analyst Vivek Arya. “That’s not just our view, but one confirmed by a majority of large customers.”\n2. The players have consolidated\nAll up and down the production chain, from design through the various types of equipment producers to manufacturing, industry players have consolidated down into what Rotonti calls “earned” duopolies or monopolies.\nIn chip design software, you have Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys.In production equipment, companies dominate specialized niches like ASML in extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). Manufacturing is dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung Electronics.\nThese companies earned their niche or duopoly status by being the best at what they do. This makes them interesting for investors. The consolidation also means players behave more rationally in terms of pricing and production capacity, says Rotonti.\n3. Profitability has improved\nThis more rational behavior, combined with cost cutting, means profitability is now much higher than it was historically. “The economics of chip making has improved massively over past few years,” says Winbourne. Cash flow or EBITDA margins are often now over 30% whereas a decade ago they were in the 20% range.\nThis has implications for valuation. Though chip stocks trade at about a market multiple, they appear cheap because they are better companies, points out Lamar Villere, portfolio manager with Villere & Co. “They are not trading at a frothy multiple.”\nThe stocks to buy\nHere are six names favored by chip experts I recently checked in with.\nNew management plays\nThough Peter Karazeris, a senior equity research analyst at Thrivent, has reasons to be cautious on the group (see below), he singles out two companies whose performance may get a boost because they are under new management: Qualcomm and ON Semiconductor.\nBoth have solid profitability. Qualcomm was recently hit by one-off issues like bad weather in Texas that disrupted production, but the company has good exposure to the 5G phone trend. ON Semiconductor is expanding beyond phones into new areas like autos, industrial and the Internet of Things connected-device space.\nA data center and gaming play\nKarazeris also singles out Nvidia,which gets a continuing boost from its exposure to data center and gaming device chip demand — because of its superior design prowess.\nDesign tool companies\nSpeaking of design, when companies like Qualcomm and NVIDIA want to design chips, they turn to the design tools supplied by Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys.\nTheir software-based design tools help chip innovators create the blueprint for their chips, explains Rotonti at Motley Fool, who singles out these names. “They are not the fastest growers in the world, but they have good profit margins.” They also dominate the space.\nAn EUV play\nTo put those blueprints onto silicon in the early stages of chip production, companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung turn to ASML.

The stock, which last peaked at $182.13 not too long ago, is currently less than 7% from being the first U.S. publicly listed company to reach a $3 trillion market value and single-handedly accounts for about 15% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s performance. Apple’s market value has grown by more than 220x since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.</p><p><blockquote>作为全球表现最好的股票之一,苹果(纳斯达克:AAPL)今年以来涨幅接近40%。该股不久前曾达到182.13美元的峰值,目前距离成为第一家市值达到3万亿美元的美国上市公司还不到7%,仅占以科技股为主的纳斯达克100指数的15%左右。自20世纪90年代末以来,苹果的市值增长了220倍以上,这得益于该公司不断抓住对其创新产品和服务组合的强劲需求的能力。</blockquote></p><p> And Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to $30 billion per month. This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024. If materialized, the process would up the funds rate to 2.1% by 2024.</p><p><blockquote>苹果强劲的基本面预计将帮助该股抵御明年即将加息的不利影响。随着通胀达到近四十年来最热的水平,美联储周三决定将加快缩减每月1200亿美元债券回购计划的步伐,从11月开始的每月150亿美元减少到每月300亿美元。这将有效地结束刺激计划,该计划是在3月份大流行开始时实施的,而不是最初计划的7月份。预计加息将很快开始,以应对不断上涨的物价压力,美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔确认,这一过程只有在缩减结束后才会以渐进的速度开始。最新的点阵图显示,从2022年初开始,联邦基金利率有可能从接近零的水平上升三个25个百分点,2023年再上升三个百分点,2024年再上升两个百分点。如果实现,这一过程将在2024年将基金利率提高至2.1%。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef3ca2d04c1b55a465e12bfae79890e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Bloomberg</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源:彭博社</span></p></blockquote></p><p> While rate hikes typically cause investors to turn risk averse due to concerns over faster erosion of value on future gains and stalled business growth due to rising costs of capital, especially for high-growth stocks, Apple gained close to 3% upon release of the Fed’s update on policy tightening. The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.</p><p><blockquote>虽然加息通常会导致投资者转向规避风险,因为他们担心未来收益的价值会加速侵蚀,以及资本成本上升导致业务增长停滞,尤其是高增长股票,但苹果在美联储发布后上涨了近3%关于政策收紧的最新消息。该股12月15日收于179.30美元,接近周一182美元的峰值。美联储更新后,苹果的上涨以及其他大型科技股的类似上涨趋势推动纳斯达克100指数盘中上涨2.4%,这表明投资者更愿意将资金投资于增长前景强劲的公司以应对即将加息带来的风险。</blockquote></p><p> With the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.</p><p><blockquote>随着即将到来的假期对苹果12月季度销售有利,该股估值预计将比预期更早进入3万亿美元区间。苹果整个产品线的持续强劲需求、慷慨的股票回购以及新的尖端产品预计在可预见的未来带来的额外收入贡献也将成为支持公司持续强劲的基本面并保持该股的关键催化剂尽管即将加息,但估值仍高于3万亿美元。考虑到大盘的近期发展和苹果的增长前景,我们将该股12个月目标价上调至209.43美元。</blockquote></p><p> <b>FY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects</b></p><p><blockquote><b>2021财年基本面前景概述和回顾</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Fiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.</p><p><blockquote>2021财年对苹果来说是重要的一年。尽管冠状病毒反复爆发和供应链限制导致商店断断续续关闭,导致销售额损失超过90亿美元,但该公司今年的收入较2020财年增长了33%,达到3660亿美元。每个产品和服务部门都实现了创纪录的收入,比上一年增长了20%以上。本年度的成功主要归功于一系列新产品的推出和功能升级。其中最引人注目的包括支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s系列,以及支持M1的MacBook Pro和iPad Pro。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Products</b></p><p><blockquote><b>产品的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p> iPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.</p><p><blockquote>iPhone销量今年增长了39%,是其他细分市场中增长最快的,占苹果2021财年收入的一半以上。这一结果与去年移动设备需求下滑形成鲜明对比,当时消费者准备应对大流行带来的经济不确定性。随着全球5G设备升级步伐不断加快,预计未来几年iPhone销量将保持强劲。2022年可能推出的更实惠的支持5G的iPhone SE预计也将通过吸引“超过10亿非高端Android用户”的切换者来进一步提高苹果的市场份额,并将活跃安装基数推向另一个历史新高。在推出支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s后,最近几个季度观察到的iPhone销售模式进一步证实了预期的势头,升级者和转换者的数量以两位数强劲增长。苹果与手机运营商的紧密联系预计也将在未来几年推动iPhone的销售贡献。Verizon和AT&T等美国知名无线运营商已经热衷于促进iPhone 12和iPhone 13等支持5G的设备的销售,以鼓励迁移到他们在全国范围内花费数十亿美元建设的5G网络。预计全球电信公司将在未来五年内斥资超过7000亿美元建设5G网络,这突显出随着运营商推动十年来最强劲的多年升级周期以收回成本,iPhone市场未来将面临巨大的额外增长机会。他们的投资。</blockquote></p><p> Mac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.</p><p><blockquote>Mac和iPad的销售额在2021财年也大幅增长,收入分别达到创纪录的352亿美元和319亿美元。继今年早些时候推出全新的M1驱动的iMac后,苹果还在10月份推出了重新设计的M1-Pro/M1-Max驱动的MacBook Pro。定制的M1处理器使最新的MacBook“在游戏之外的几乎所有生产力用例上都比任何基于英特尔的设备都好”。这相应地推动了不同消费者群体对便携式工作站的难以置信的需求,从专业创作者和摄影师到企业用户和学生。据估计,该公司在9月份季度的Mac产品出货量超过320万台,这推动了该部门创纪录的收入,同时将其在全球PC销量中的排名提升至其他供应商中的第四位。在苹果的计算产品中引入M1处理器也增强了其在利用全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑需求激增方面的地位,使该公司能够构建具有创新功能的设备,这些设备可以无缝集成到其周边配件和服务生态系统中,以吸引邻近收入。随着后大流行时代混合工作和学习安排的加速采用,全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑等便携式工作站的需求预计将在未来几年保持高位——预计到2025年,这些行业的市场规模将分别增长到2243亿美元和6000亿美元,这为苹果的Mac和iPad市场带来了有利的趋势。</blockquote></p><p> Recent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.</p><p><blockquote>最近关于苹果打算加强其内部芯片开发能力的猜测可能会在未来几年进一步推进其技术的进步,并吸引对其产品的额外需求。该公司目前正在寻找工程师来增强其在“无线电、射频集成电路和无线片上系统(“SoC”)”以及“用于连接蓝牙和Wi-Fi的半导体”的开发能力。这些发展预计将进一步增强苹果设备之间的无缝集成,并增加其产品和服务生态系统的粘性,使其芯片部门成为该公司“最宝贵的资产”之一。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Services</b></p><p><blockquote><b>服务业的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> On the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.</p><p><blockquote>在服务方面,强大的用户基础使该部门在2021财年的收入达到创纪录的超过684亿美元,比上一年增长27%。迄今为止,苹果的高利润服务已吸引了超过7.45亿付费用户,比过去五年增长了五倍。苹果在其各种服务平台(从苹果音乐到iCloud存储解决方案)中不断推动基于订阅的商业模式,再加上近年来针对关键消费者趋势的有吸引力的新产品,一直是该公司快速增长的关键驱动力。-扩大利润。为现有服务平台推出的令人兴奋的新附加功能包括苹果音乐的空间音频和无损音频以及苹果音乐语音计划。新的基于订阅的产品预计将进一步扩大苹果对智能手机、笔记本电脑和其他先进家用电子产品在全球使用不断增加所带来的邻近机会的覆盖范围,例如,全球音乐流媒体市场预计将以16%的复合年增长率扩张,预计未来五年价值将达到610亿美元,凸显了苹果音乐的巨大增长空间。苹果最新推出的苹果One捆绑包预计将成为未来几年促进服务部门销售的关键贡献者,吸引新用户为订阅服务付费,如果没有捆绑折扣,他们就不会这样做。</blockquote></p><p> Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.</p><p><blockquote>移动应用市场需求的持续增长也将利好苹果快速增长的服务板块。全球移动应用市场预计将以18.4%的CAGR增长,未来五年市值将超过4000亿美元。由于AAPL拥有世界上最大和使用最多的应用商店之一,有理由假设相关收入将以类似的速度增长。尽管全球监管机构对苹果App Store涉嫌违反反垄断的审查越来越多——其中最引人注目的是与Epic Games正在进行的法律斗争——但该公司对确保用户隐私、安全和交易便利性的持续关注可能会挽救局面。根据Morgan Stanley对美国和中国4000名苹果产品用户进行的一项调查,尽管开发者正在争取在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,但大多数用户都表示对苹果应用商店的忠诚度,因为它提供了“安全、隐私和交易便利性的价值”。作为Epic Games提起的长达一年的诉讼的一部分,苹果最近成功推迟了美国地区法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers在9月份下令的App Store变更,这是App Store持续强劲的另一个迹象。该公司辩称,法院授权的允许App Store用户“直接从网络上的开发者那里购买”的命令将对他们的隐私安全构成威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Currently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.</p><p><blockquote>目前,开发者正在争取让应用用户在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,该生态系统向开发者收取高达所有购买30%的高额佣金。随着苹果继续对该裁决提出上诉,法院关于是否需要实施App Store变更的最终决定可能至少还需要一年时间。但即使做出不利的裁决,即苹果必须允许开发者将用户重定向到其生态系统之外的支付和/或降低其应用内购买佣金率,App Store的收入预计每年最多只会减少40亿美元,这不会对其估值前景产生重大影响。考虑到App Store用户对苹果通过该平台提供的安全性和便利性水平的重视,实际的量化影响甚至可能低于市场预测。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Catalysts Ahead</b></p><p><blockquote><b>未来的关键催化剂</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Apple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.</p><p><blockquote>由于其庞大的设备安装基础和相关服务平台用户,苹果无疑是将新兴技术带入主流的关键门户。正因为如此,未来几年备受期待的AR/VR耳机和自动驾驶汽车等尖端产品的推出可能会将该股推向新的高度。这家颠覆性消费电子和设备的先驱预计将在2023年初推出VR耳机和AR眼镜,这是一项新兴技术,近几个月来,随着有关元宇宙的讨论越来越多,这项技术的发展势头越来越大。与市场上已有的大多数VR头显类似,苹果的将配备3D显示屏,为从游戏到交流的各种活动提供身临其境的环境。差异化因素将是该公司计划在设备中实现一流的图形芯片,以促进超高分辨率显示。即将推出的VR头显最终将为其AR眼镜奠定基础,苹果预计这将是“更大的机会”。</blockquote></p><p> Over the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.</p><p><blockquote>未来五年,与元宇宙相关的机会预计将发展成为8000亿美元的市场。相关软件和服务销售预计将推动预计潜在市场的70%以上,而其余部分可能由硬件销售推动。这为苹果带来了强劲的推动力,该公司不仅可以通过销售即将推出的AR/VR耳机来利用不断增长的元宇宙机会,还可以利用与相关应用程序、软件和服务平台使用相关的邻近收入。</blockquote></p><p> Speculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.</p><p><blockquote>对苹果正在开发自动驾驶电动汽车的猜测预计也将在可预见的未来为该股带来有意义的上涨。该公司现在计划到2025年推出新的产品类别,届时全球自动驾驶汽车市场的价值预计将达到2000亿美元以上。最终的汽车可能会向其现有产品组合致敬,例如“类似iPad的触摸屏”信息娱乐系统。在技术方面,据信苹果已经完成了定制芯片的开发,用于为车辆的自动驾驶功能提供动力。据该州DMV称,最新的芯片将很快应用到其现有的改装SUV车队中,以便在加利福尼亚州进行测试,这表明即将推出的芯片即将推出。</blockquote></p><p> While Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.</p><p><blockquote>虽然苹果目前的市值可能已经反映了“随着时间的推移,新产品和服务对材料收入的持续贡献”,但上述新产品类别发布的额外上行空间仍然缺失。但随着苹果AR/VR设备即将推出,这种情况可能会在未来12个月内发生变化。对早期AR/VR设备销售的近期预测预计将使苹果的估值至少提高1500亿美元。随着时间的推移,当元宇宙趋势继续获得主流关注时,苹果预计将从AR/VR领域获得超过2000亿美元的年收入,这可能会在其当前市值的基础上再增加15%。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Valuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值前景和即将加息的潜在影响</b></blockquote></p><p> Adjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>调整我们对苹果2021财年年终业绩和12月季度指引的最新预测,我们的基本情况预测预计到2022财年末总净销售额为4393亿美元,到2026财年将进一步增长至6685亿美元。我们预测中应用于各部门收入的增长假设与我们对该股的最新分析基本保持不变,并额外考虑了管理层对供应限制影响和即将加息的近期前景。具体来说,2021财年下半年由于全行业芯片短缺和大流行导致的制造延迟造成的90亿美元收入损失(即6月季度约30亿美元,9月季度约60亿美元)预计将恶化2022财年上半年。尽管供应链挑战有所改善,但对苹果产品的持续强劲需求将导致未来几个季度销量损失更大。尽管如此,苹果仍为未来强劲的基本面做好了准备,这将有助于缓解投资者因即将加息而对估值的一些担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5aa95136cfca6f95b962ea36eadab74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>修订后的价格目标是使用十年离散期内的贴现现金流(“DCF”)分析得出的,并结合前几节中分析的针对苹果近期发展更新的财务预测。与我们最初的估值分析类似,我们采用了8%的WACC来贴现苹果的预计自由现金流。考虑到公司当前的资本结构和强劲的资产负债表,贴现函数反映了公司的风险状况。考虑到苹果现有债务的很大一部分是固定利率票据,预计其增长资本成本不会因即将加息而发生重大变化。该公司还拥有持续强劲的净现金状况,管理层打算在加息之前部署以实现额外增长,而不必产生增量资本成本。预计这将进一步巩固投资者对苹果股票的信心,因为他们在担心利率上升带来的更广泛市场压力的情况下继续“转向优质股票”。</blockquote></p><p> The valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>估值分析还假设退出倍数为19.8倍,这与当前市场对苹果在预测期内增长轨迹的预期一致。考虑到AR/VR设备和自动驾驶汽车等新产品领域即将推出,所应用的退出倍数假设甚至可能在未来12个月内进一步改善,并抵消即将加息的任何潜在影响。</blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>基于上述分析,预计未来两年在当前接近零的联邦基金利率基础上增加175至200个基点,从基本面和估值角度来看,预计不会对苹果的业绩造成重大不利影响。全球对苹果产品和服务的强劲需求,加上新的创新,预计将进一步增强该公司的基本增长前景。因此,这将进一步改善苹果的资产负债表,并进一步增强其抵御更广泛的宏观逆风带来的估值下行压力的地位。事实上,为应对即将加息带来的风险,对优质成长型股票的需求不断增加,甚至可能会推动苹果的估值增长势头。考虑到这些因素,苹果仍然是表现最好的科技股之一,尽管加息即将到来,但其近期仍强劲上涨至3万亿美元。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024.

The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.</p><p><blockquote>2021财年对苹果来说是重要的一年。尽管冠状病毒反复爆发和供应链限制导致商店断断续续关闭,导致销售额损失超过90亿美元,但该公司今年的收入较2020财年增长了33%,达到3660亿美元。每个产品和服务部门都实现了创纪录的收入,比上一年增长了20%以上。本年度的成功主要归功于一系列新产品的推出和功能升级。其中最引人注目的包括支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s系列,以及支持M1的MacBook Pro和iPad Pro。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Products</b></p><p><blockquote><b>产品的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p> iPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.</p><p><blockquote>iPhone销量今年增长了39%,是其他细分市场中增长最快的,占苹果2021财年收入的一半以上。这一结果与去年移动设备需求下滑形成鲜明对比,当时消费者准备应对大流行带来的经济不确定性。随着全球5G设备升级步伐不断加快,预计未来几年iPhone销量将保持强劲。2022年可能推出的更实惠的支持5G的iPhone SE预计也将通过吸引“超过10亿非高端Android用户”的切换者来进一步提高苹果的市场份额,并将活跃安装基数推向另一个历史新高。在推出支持5G的iPhone 12s和iPhone 13s后,最近几个季度观察到的iPhone销售模式进一步证实了预期的势头,升级者和转换者的数量以两位数强劲增长。苹果与手机运营商的紧密联系预计也将在未来几年推动iPhone的销售贡献。Verizon和AT&T等美国知名无线运营商已经热衷于促进iPhone 12和iPhone 13等支持5G的设备的销售,以鼓励迁移到他们在全国范围内花费数十亿美元建设的5G网络。预计全球电信公司将在未来五年内斥资超过7000亿美元建设5G网络,这突显出随着运营商推动十年来最强劲的多年升级周期以收回成本,iPhone市场未来将面临巨大的额外增长机会。他们的投资。</blockquote></p><p> Mac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.</p><p><blockquote>Mac和iPad的销售额在2021财年也大幅增长,收入分别达到创纪录的352亿美元和319亿美元。继今年早些时候推出全新的M1驱动的iMac后,苹果还在10月份推出了重新设计的M1-Pro/M1-Max驱动的MacBook Pro。定制的M1处理器使最新的MacBook“在游戏之外的几乎所有生产力用例上都比任何基于英特尔的设备都好”。这相应地推动了不同消费者群体对便携式工作站的难以置信的需求,从专业创作者和摄影师到企业用户和学生。据估计,该公司在9月份季度的Mac产品出货量超过320万台,这推动了该部门创纪录的收入,同时将其在全球PC销量中的排名提升至其他供应商中的第四位。在苹果的计算产品中引入M1处理器也增强了其在利用全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑需求激增方面的地位,使该公司能够构建具有创新功能的设备,这些设备可以无缝集成到其周边配件和服务生态系统中,以吸引邻近收入。随着后大流行时代混合工作和学习安排的加速采用,全球对个人电脑和多功能平板电脑等便携式工作站的需求预计将在未来几年保持高位——预计到2025年,这些行业的市场规模将分别增长到2243亿美元和6000亿美元,这为苹果的Mac和iPad市场带来了有利的趋势。</blockquote></p><p> Recent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.</p><p><blockquote>最近关于苹果打算加强其内部芯片开发能力的猜测可能会在未来几年进一步推进其技术的进步,并吸引对其产品的额外需求。该公司目前正在寻找工程师来增强其在“无线电、射频集成电路和无线片上系统(“SoC”)”以及“用于连接蓝牙和Wi-Fi的半导体”的开发能力。这些发展预计将进一步增强苹果设备之间的无缝集成,并增加其产品和服务生态系统的粘性,使其芯片部门成为该公司“最宝贵的资产”之一。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Developments in Services</b></p><p><blockquote><b>服务业的主要发展</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> On the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.</p><p><blockquote>在服务方面,强大的用户基础使该部门在2021财年的收入达到创纪录的超过684亿美元,比上一年增长27%。迄今为止,苹果的高利润服务已吸引了超过7.45亿付费用户,比过去五年增长了五倍。苹果在其各种服务平台(从苹果音乐到iCloud存储解决方案)中不断推动基于订阅的商业模式,再加上近年来针对关键消费者趋势的有吸引力的新产品,一直是该公司快速增长的关键驱动力。-扩大利润。为现有服务平台推出的令人兴奋的新附加功能包括苹果音乐的空间音频和无损音频以及苹果音乐语音计划。新的基于订阅的产品预计将进一步扩大苹果对智能手机、笔记本电脑和其他先进家用电子产品在全球使用不断增加所带来的邻近机会的覆盖范围,例如,全球音乐流媒体市场预计将以16%的复合年增长率扩张,预计未来五年价值将达到610亿美元,凸显了苹果音乐的巨大增长空间。苹果最新推出的苹果One捆绑包预计将成为未来几年促进服务部门销售的关键贡献者,吸引新用户为订阅服务付费,如果没有捆绑折扣,他们就不会这样做。</blockquote></p><p> Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.</p><p><blockquote>移动应用市场需求的持续增长也将利好苹果快速增长的服务板块。全球移动应用市场预计将以18.4%的CAGR增长,未来五年市值将超过4000亿美元。由于AAPL拥有世界上最大和使用最多的应用商店之一,有理由假设相关收入将以类似的速度增长。尽管全球监管机构对苹果App Store涉嫌违反反垄断的审查越来越多——其中最引人注目的是与Epic Games正在进行的法律斗争——但该公司对确保用户隐私、安全和交易便利性的持续关注可能会挽救局面。根据Morgan Stanley对美国和中国4000名苹果产品用户进行的一项调查,尽管开发者正在争取在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,但大多数用户都表示对苹果应用商店的忠诚度,因为它提供了“安全、隐私和交易便利性的价值”。作为Epic Games提起的长达一年的诉讼的一部分,苹果最近成功推迟了美国地区法官Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers在9月份下令的App Store变更,这是App Store持续强劲的另一个迹象。该公司辩称,法院授权的允许App Store用户“直接从网络上的开发者那里购买”的命令将对他们的隐私安全构成威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Currently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.</p><p><blockquote>目前,开发者正在争取让应用用户在苹果生态系统之外进行交易的权利,该生态系统向开发者收取高达所有购买30%的高额佣金。随着苹果继续对该裁决提出上诉,法院关于是否需要实施App Store变更的最终决定可能至少还需要一年时间。但即使做出不利的裁决,即苹果必须允许开发者将用户重定向到其生态系统之外的支付和/或降低其应用内购买佣金率,App Store的收入预计每年最多只会减少40亿美元,这不会对其估值前景产生重大影响。考虑到App Store用户对苹果通过该平台提供的安全性和便利性水平的重视,实际的量化影响甚至可能低于市场预测。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Key Catalysts Ahead</b></p><p><blockquote><b>未来的关键催化剂</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Apple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.</p><p><blockquote>由于其庞大的设备安装基础和相关服务平台用户,苹果无疑是将新兴技术带入主流的关键门户。正因为如此,未来几年备受期待的AR/VR耳机和自动驾驶汽车等尖端产品的推出可能会将该股推向新的高度。这家颠覆性消费电子和设备的先驱预计将在2023年初推出VR耳机和AR眼镜,这是一项新兴技术,近几个月来,随着有关元宇宙的讨论越来越多,这项技术的发展势头越来越大。与市场上已有的大多数VR头显类似,苹果的将配备3D显示屏,为从游戏到交流的各种活动提供身临其境的环境。差异化因素将是该公司计划在设备中实现一流的图形芯片,以促进超高分辨率显示。即将推出的VR头显最终将为其AR眼镜奠定基础,苹果预计这将是“更大的机会”。</blockquote></p><p> Over the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.</p><p><blockquote>未来五年,与元宇宙相关的机会预计将发展成为8000亿美元的市场。相关软件和服务销售预计将推动预计潜在市场的70%以上,而其余部分可能由硬件销售推动。这为苹果带来了强劲的推动力,该公司不仅可以通过销售即将推出的AR/VR耳机来利用不断增长的元宇宙机会,还可以利用与相关应用程序、软件和服务平台使用相关的邻近收入。</blockquote></p><p> Speculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.</p><p><blockquote>对苹果正在开发自动驾驶电动汽车的猜测预计也将在可预见的未来为该股带来有意义的上涨。该公司现在计划到2025年推出新的产品类别,届时全球自动驾驶汽车市场的价值预计将达到2000亿美元以上。最终的汽车可能会向其现有产品组合致敬,例如“类似iPad的触摸屏”信息娱乐系统。在技术方面,据信苹果已经完成了定制芯片的开发,用于为车辆的自动驾驶功能提供动力。据该州DMV称,最新的芯片将很快应用到其现有的改装SUV车队中,以便在加利福尼亚州进行测试,这表明即将推出的芯片即将推出。</blockquote></p><p> While Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.</p><p><blockquote>虽然苹果目前的市值可能已经反映了“随着时间的推移,新产品和服务对材料收入的持续贡献”,但上述新产品类别发布的额外上行空间仍然缺失。但随着苹果AR/VR设备即将推出,这种情况可能会在未来12个月内发生变化。对早期AR/VR设备销售的近期预测预计将使苹果的估值至少提高1500亿美元。随着时间的推移,当元宇宙趋势继续获得主流关注时,苹果预计将从AR/VR领域获得超过2000亿美元的年收入,这可能会在其当前市值的基础上再增加15%。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Valuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值前景和即将加息的潜在影响</b></blockquote></p><p> Adjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.</p><p><blockquote>调整我们对苹果2021财年年终业绩和12月季度指引的最新预测,我们的基本情况预测预计到2022财年末总净销售额为4393亿美元,到2026财年将进一步增长至6685亿美元。我们预测中应用于各部门收入的增长假设与我们对该股的最新分析基本保持不变,并额外考虑了管理层对供应限制影响和即将加息的近期前景。具体来说,2021财年下半年由于全行业芯片短缺和大流行导致的制造延迟造成的90亿美元收入损失(即6月季度约30亿美元,9月季度约60亿美元)预计将恶化2022财年上半年。尽管供应链挑战有所改善,但对苹果产品的持续强劲需求将导致未来几个季度销量损失更大。尽管如此,苹果仍为未来强劲的基本面做好了准备,这将有助于缓解投资者因即将加息而对估值的一些担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5aa95136cfca6f95b962ea36eadab74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>修订后的价格目标是使用十年离散期内的贴现现金流(“DCF”)分析得出的,并结合前几节中分析的针对苹果近期发展更新的财务预测。与我们最初的估值分析类似,我们采用了8%的WACC来贴现苹果的预计自由现金流。考虑到公司当前的资本结构和强劲的资产负债表,贴现函数反映了公司的风险状况。考虑到苹果现有债务的很大一部分是固定利率票据,预计其增长资本成本不会因即将加息而发生重大变化。该公司还拥有持续强劲的净现金状况,管理层打算在加息之前部署以实现额外增长,而不必产生增量资本成本。预计这将进一步巩固投资者对苹果股票的信心,因为他们在担心利率上升带来的更广泛市场压力的情况下继续“转向优质股票”。</blockquote></p><p> The valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.</p><p><blockquote>估值分析还假设退出倍数为19.8倍,这与当前市场对苹果在预测期内增长轨迹的预期一致。考虑到AR/VR设备和自动驾驶汽车等新产品领域即将推出,所应用的退出倍数假设甚至可能在未来12个月内进一步改善,并抵消即将加息的任何潜在影响。</blockquote></p><p> <i>i.

Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum.

Apple’s market value has grown by more than 220x since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.\nAnd Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to $30 billion per month. This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024. If materialized, the process would up the funds rate to 2.1% by 2024.\nSource: Bloomberg\nWhile rate hikes typically cause investors to turn risk averse due to concerns over faster erosion of value on future gains and stalled business growth due to rising costs of capital, especially for high-growth stocks, Apple gained close to 3% upon release of the Fed’s update on policy tightening. The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.\nWith the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.\nFY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects\nFiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.\nKey Developments in Products\niPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.\nMac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.\nRecent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.\nKey Developments in Services\nOn the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.\nContinued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.\nCurrently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.\nKey Catalysts Ahead\nApple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.\nOver the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.\nSpeculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.\nWhile Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.\nValuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases\nAdjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.\n\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf). Please refer here for further detail on material growth assumptions applied.\nDrawing on the above considerations, our 12-month price target for the Apple stock has been revised to $209.43. This represents upside potential of more than 22% based on the last traded price of $171.14 on December 17th.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nThe revised price target is derived using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis over a ten-year discrete period in conjunction with the financial projections updated for Apple’s recent developments as analyzed in earlier sections. Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.\nThe valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\n\nii. Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion\nBased on the foregoing analysis, the anticipated addition of 175 to 200 basis points to the current near-zero Federal Fund Rate over the next two years is not expected to cause material adverse impacts to Apple’s performance from both a fundamental and valuation perspective. Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2387,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":820271041,"gmtCreate":1633398374194,"gmtModify":1633398374593,"author":{"id":"3559873043762670","authorId":"3559873043762670","name":"Fonkytonks","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfa5c5b6a3eb44de87d5ed63482f16c","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559873043762670","authorIdStr":"3559873043762670"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/820271041","repostId":"1118300110","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118300110","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1633395826,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1118300110?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-05 09:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 reasons why airline stocks are screaming buys<blockquote>航空股尖叫买入的3个原因</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118300110","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the airline space, but the time to buy is now, arg","content":"<p><div> The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the airline space, but the time to buy is now, argues Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker.

To that end, the Biden administration said recently it would lift restrictions for fully vaccinated travelers to enter the U.S.starting in November.\nSecondarily, Shanker believes the bad news for the sector on the COVID front peaked in the third quarter. That suggests an improving runway for airline sector margins, according to Shanker's research.\nAnd lastly, Shanker thinks December analyst days for the airline sector will be \"very bullish\" with respect to 2022 and 2023 financial targets.\nTo be sure, airline stocks have begun to lift off over the last few weeks as investors begin to price in brighter skies in 2022. Analysts such as Shanker point to news of Merck's potential new COVID-19 pill as being particularly friendly to airline stocks of late.\nShares of SouthWest Airlines, Delta Air Lines , American Airlines and United Airlines have all gainedmore than 10% in the past month, perYahoo Finance Plus data. Spirit Airlines and JetBlue Airways have tacked on 9.8% and 9.3% during that same stretch.\nMeanwhile, The NYSE Arca Airline Index is up 8% in the the last month.\nNot every analyst is on board with Shanker's upbeat view on the sector, however. Some such as BofA's Andrew Didora advise a more disciplined approach to playing the airline recovery.\n\"While near term demand and cost pressures lower our 2H21E EPS for the industry, in our view, the overall trajectory of the recovery remains unchanged.
