美联储主席讲话临近,华尔街股市上涨

(SeaPRwire) - 随着美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔即将发表重要讲话,华尔街股市呈现积极势头。标普 500 指数在早盘交易中上涨 0.6%,道琼斯工业平均指数上涨 221 点,涨幅为 0.5%。纳斯达克综合指数也上涨了 0.8%。这种乐观情绪出现在市场高度期待鲍威尔讲话之际,他的讲话可能为美联储未来利率决定的关键信息提供线索,而这是追踪华尔街市场趋势的投资者关注的焦点。 利率预期保持市场平衡 国债收益率通常被视为市场情绪的风向标,一直保持相对稳定。自 4 月以来,投资者一直在调整预期,猜测美联储可能很快开始自 2020 年以来首次下调其主要利率。降息可能会在美联储将利率提高到 20 年高点以抑制通货膨胀后缓解经济压力。 随着通货膨胀从两年前的峰值 9% 以上回落,美国经济开始感受到这些高利率的压力。追踪华尔街市场趋势的投资者面临的中心问题不再是美联储何时会降息,而是降息幅度和速度。根据 CME 集团的数据,交易员预计美联储将在年底前将其主要利率下调一个百分点。如果美联储未能满足这些预期,自春季以来一直在下跌的国债收益率可能会面临上行压力,这可能会影响各种投资。 公司盈利喜忧参半提供支撑 虽然焦点仍然集中在美联储,但公司盈利继续影响华尔街市场趋势。罗斯商店 (NASDAQ:ROST) 的股价上涨了 4.7%,此前该公司公布的最新季度利润和收入超过了分析师的预期。然而,首席执行官芭芭拉·伦特勒警告说,即使通货膨胀放缓,全面的高价格仍在影响低收入和中等收入的客户。 Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY) 也是另一支表现突出的股票,其股价在公布了优于预期的利润和收入后飙升了 12.6%。这家帮助企业管理人员和财务的公司也上调了其全年盈利预测,增加了市场的积极情绪。 不利的一面是,红罗宾美味汉堡 (NASDAQ:RRGB) 股价下跌了 11.2%,此前该公司公布了最新季度的大于预期的亏损。该公司还下调了其收入预测,理由是餐饮业放缓,这突出了经济不同部门复苏的不平衡性。 全球市场和债券收益率反映谨慎 随着华尔街等待鲍威尔的讲话,债券收益率出现了微弱波动。10 年期美国国债收益率从周四晚间的 3.86% 小幅下降至 3.84%。同样,与美联储行动预期密切相关的两年期美国国债收益率小幅下降至 4.00%。 全球市场也表现出谨慎的乐观情绪。在欧洲,股指小幅上涨,而在亚洲,市场收盘涨跌不一。日本日经 225 指数上涨 0.4%,此前日本央行行长植田和男发表讲话,暗示虽然可能会有更多加息,但加息的步伐可能会放缓。这种审慎的做法帮助平息了夏季因突然加息而引发的市场动荡。 华尔街的前景 标普 500 指数已强劲反弹,目前距离上个月创下的历史高点仅差 1.1%。这种反弹紧随指数短暂跌至峰值以下近 10% 的时期,凸显出市场在持续不确定性的情况下依然具有韧性。 随着投资者等待杰罗姆·鲍威尔的讲话,市场趋势仍然处于微妙的平衡之中。降息的可能性引发了乐观情绪,但美联储未能满足这些预期的风险依然很大。公司盈利虽然喜忧参半,但提供了某种支撑,但更广泛的经济前景依然不确定。目前,华尔街的目光牢牢地锁定在怀俄明州,鲍威尔的讲话可能会为未来几个月的市场定下基调。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Cava 股价飙升;即将公布第二季度收益

Cava Stock (NYSE:CAVA) (SeaPRwire) - 地中海快餐连锁餐厅Cava Group Inc. (NYSE:CAVA) 即将在周四收盘后公布其第二季度财报,该公司目前处于有利地位。分析师预计净销售额将增长近 27%,达到 2.19 亿美元,调整后的每股收益 (EPS) 预计为 0.13 美元。预计同店销售额增长 7.45%,这是由成功推出烤牛排产品推动的,Stifel 分析师 Chris O’Cull 指出,该产品“在许多市场上迅速售罄”。 Cava 股票表现 Cava 股票最近创下历史新高,达到 102.39 美元,今年迄今已飙升超过 140%,大幅跑赢 Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (NYSE:CMG) 等同行,后者上涨了 20%,以及标普 500 指数 (^GSPC),该指数上涨了 19%。O’Cull 建议投资者考虑利用任何短期波动,由于基本面强劲,保持 110 美元的目标价。 增长和扩张 Cava 正在保持稳定的增长轨迹,计划到 2032 年将门店数量扩展到 1000 家。第一季度,该公司新开了 14 家门店,使其总数达到 323 家。花旗分析师 Jon Tower 指出,增长潜力巨大,包括门店数量增长机会和随着 Cava 扩展到成本较低的市场而带来的利润率改善。 行业背景 Cava 的增长与食品行业整体放缓形成对比,快餐行业似乎正在跑赢大盘。首席执行官 Brett Schulman 最近强调,该连锁店能够以合理的价格提供优质的地中海美食,吸引了各个收入阶层的顾客。 竞争格局 在快餐领域,Cava 的表现优于竞争对手。Chipotle 超预期,同店销售额增长 11.1%,而 Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:SHAK) 报告增长了 4%。Sweetgreen Inc. (NYSE:SG) 的同店销售额增长了 9%,得益于客流量的增加和有选择性的定价。 预期与以往表现 以下是华尔街对 Cava 第二季度财报的预期与去年同期业绩的比较: 收入: 2.195 亿美元对比 1.7289 亿美元 调整后的每股收益: 0.13 美元对比 0.35 美元 同店销售额增长: 7.45% 对比 18.20% 花旗的 Tower 预计,Cava 可能承认第三季度“销售额出现一些放缓”,这可能导致对下半年更保守的展望。 总结 Cava 即将公布强劲的第二季度业绩,收入和同店销售额同比大幅增长。尽管预计销售额增长将放缓,但该公司的强劲表现和战略性扩张计划突出了其作为快餐行业领军者的地位。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

西南航空公司在投资者压力下重新评估免费托运行李政策 Finance

西南航空公司在投资者压力下重新评估免费托运行李政策

关于潜在行李费的客户调查 (SeaPRwire) - 西南航空公司 (NYSE:LUV) 正在探索对其“行李免费”政策的潜在调整,作为应对激进投资者 Elliott Investment Management 建议的一部分。该航空公司最近对部分忠诚度会员和消费者进行了一项调查,内容涉及可能出现行李费的低价机票场景。该调查包含有关旅行习惯和预订偏好的问题,旨在衡量客户对这些潜在政策调整的看法。 西南航空一直以来都以其允许乘客免费托运两件行李的政策而著称,这使其在其他美国主要航空公司中脱颖而出。首席执行官 Bob Jordan 之前曾强调,免费行李政策是客户选择西南航空的关键因素。然而,最近的调查并没有表明该航空公司有任何立即改变这项福利的计划,该航空公司表示,他们仍然专注于了解客户的优先事项和偏好。 在投资者要求下调整商业模式 这项调查探讨了以下几种场景:最便宜的“Wanna Get Away” 票价可能只包括一个个人物品和一个随身行李,而“Wanna Get Away Plus” 票价可能包括一件免费托运行李。更高级别的票价类别,包括“Anytime” 和“Business Select”,将保留免费托运两件行李的福利。 此举正值西南航空正在对其商业模式进行其他重大调整之际,例如逐步淘汰其自由座位政策,推出新的高级舱位,并开始运行红眼航班。这些变化是该公司为了应对 Elliott Investment Management 的压力而进行的更广泛的现代化努力的一部分,Elliott Investment Management 呼吁对该公司的领导层和战略方向进行改革。 Elliott 于 6 月份披露了其在西南航空的持股,该公司批评西南航空没有利用潜在的收入来源,例如行李费。去年的全球行李费收入估计达到了 333 亿美元。西南航空定于 9 月 26 日在达拉斯举行投资者会议,概述其计划中的变化和策略,以便更好地与旅行者偏好保持一致,并提高盈利能力。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

强劲的表现,伴随着资本支出增加 (SeaPRwire) - Meta 股票(NASDAQ:META)本月上涨 13%, 其他主要科技公司。此次上涨紧随该公司对重大资本支出的承诺以及其承诺在未来投入更多资金。Meta 股票上涨 0.3%,接近其上个月创下的历史收盘价。 这种显著的表现归功于马克·扎克伯格成功地传达了人工智能如何提升 Meta 的核心业务——数字广告。与 Amazon.com Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN)、微软公司(NASDAQ:MSFT)和 Alphabet Inc.(NASDAQ:GOOG)等同行不同,Meta 有效地证明了人工智能对其运营的积极影响。 人工智能集成和投资者信心 扎克伯格最近的财报电话会议被赞誉为特别引人注目,Deepwater Asset Management 的 Gene Munster 强调了其有效性。Meta 正在利用人工智能来完善 Facebook 和 Instagram 上的广告定位和内容推荐,这为第二季度的每股收益和收入带来了超出预期的增长。这一成功让摩根大通的 Doug Anmuth 对 Meta 在生成式人工智能方面的持续投资表示赞赏。 相比之下,Alphabet 和微软在其资本支出方面面临着投资者的质疑。Alphabet 的股价在 7 月份的财报公布后下跌了 9%,该财报显示,尽管利润和收入超出预期,但支出却高于预期。微软的股价自 7 月份公布财报以来一直保持相对平稳,财报显示其 Azure 云计算部门的增长放缓。 与其他科技巨头的比较 Meta 的做法与其他大型科技公司的回应形成对比,这些公司一直在努力为其增加的支出辩护。截至 6 月的季度,苹果、微软、Alphabet 和亚马逊的资本支出总额创下了 550 亿美元的历史新高,比去年同期增长 55%。Meta 清晰地阐述了其人工智能战略,被认为是其在获得投资者信心的关键因素,尽管其过去面临着高资本支出和向元宇宙的争议性转变等挑战。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

鲍威尔面临政策十字路口:杰克逊霍尔会议备受关注 Finance

鲍威尔面临政策十字路口:杰克逊霍尔会议备受关注

杰克逊霍尔峰会上的关键讲话 (SeaPRwire) - 美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔将于本周五在一年一度的经济政策研讨会上发表讲话,这将是美联储通胀战略的一个关键时刻。他的讲话预计将概述美联储计划降息,同时向投资者保证美联储有能力避免严重的经济衰退。 高风险和市场反应 鲍威尔的讲话对美联储和价值 27 万亿美元的美国国债市场来说都是一个关键时刻。距离总统大选仅剩 7 周,降息的可能性出现,鲍威尔及其同事将面临更严格的审查。美联储现在正在将重点从控制通胀转向监测正在降温的劳动力市场。 RSM US LLP 首席经济学家约瑟夫·布鲁苏埃拉斯表示,主要问题是是否存在政策错误,这导致市场对杰克逊霍尔声明感到不安。投资者渴望了解美联储对潜在政策变化的态度,因为 7 月的劳动力市场数据导致了市场大幅波动。 市场波动和美联储过去的失误 最近的波动是由 7 月的劳动力市场数据引发的,该数据导致标准普尔 500 指数下跌 6%,并引发了有关可能降息的猜测。鲍威尔和其他美联储官员过去曾将通胀引导回 2% 的目标,但他们在疫情期间处理通胀的失误让官员们对类似的错误影响就业感到担忧。 劳动力市场和经济担忧 最近的数据显示招聘放缓,失业率上升,引发了高利率可能会将劳动力市场推向临界点的担忧。经济学家还预计过去一年的就业报告将大幅向下修正。 “如果劳动力市场进一步疲软,提前加快步伐,然后放慢速度可能是一个合理的策略,”德意志银行美国首席经济学家马修·卢泽蒂表示。 通胀和未来的政策 尽管通胀仍高于美联储的 2% 目标,但一直在下降。一个衡量核心通胀压力的关键指标在 7 月连续第四个月下降。巴克莱银行经济学家普贾·斯里拉姆预计鲍威尔将承认政策调整的条件可能已经成熟,但目前尚不清楚他是否会明确表示 9 月降息。 平衡行为 鲍威尔的讲话需要在解决政治压力和不发出过于负面的经济前景信号之间取得平衡。美联储对未来降息的指引将在很大程度上取决于即将公布的数据,包括在 9 月中旬美联储公开市场委员会会议之前的一份额外就业报告和两次通胀数据发布。 研讨会的主题是“重新评估货币政策的有效性和传导机制”,这突出了美联储在应对疫情后经济环境方面面临的持续挑战。关于中性利率以及当前政策可能有多么限制性,仍然存在不确定性。 未来展望 MacroPolicy Perspectives 的高级经济学家劳拉·罗斯纳-沃伯顿解释说,数据将指导他们在目的地方面的决策,使他们能够根据经济的指示调整步伐。 随着鲍威尔准备发表讲话,市场正在密切关注有关未来降息步伐和幅度的信号,以及美联储计划如何应对不断变化的经济形势。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

油价在公布美国库存数据前反弹

油价回升 (SeaPRwire) - 油价在短暂下跌后小幅上涨,西德克萨斯中质原油 (WTI) 涨至每桶 73 美元以上。此前 WTI 在过去三个交易日中下跌了约 5%。交易员正在密切关注美国每周库存数据,美国石油协会报告称,上周原油库存增加了 34.7 万桶。官方库存数据预计将在周三晚些时候公布。 地缘政治和经济因素 美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯周二晚些时候离开了中东,但没有达成以色列和哈马斯之间的停火协议。然而,布林肯指出,以色列已同意一项“过渡”协议,以促进进一步谈判。期权市场显示,人们对该地区持续敌对行动的担忧有所缓解。 原油价格已基本放弃了今年早些时候的涨幅,因为来自中国的疲软经济数据掩盖了 OPEC+ 的减产行动。此外,投资者正在密切关注美国经济指标,特别是通货膨胀率。通货膨胀率下降可能会促使美联储放缓加息步伐,从而可能提振整体能源需求。美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔将在本周晚些时候在怀俄明州杰克逊霍尔举行的央行研讨会上发表讲话。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Everest Medicines Announces the Initiation of an Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT)

SHANGHAI, Aug 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, “Everest”, or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced the launch of an Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT) for a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16, under the study EVM16CX01, at the Peking University Cancer Hospital and Fudan University's Cancer Hospital. This trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of EVM16 injection as a monotherapy and in combination with PD-1 antibody for patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors. EVM16CX01 is the first-in-human (FIH) trial for EVM16.EVM16 is a novel personalized therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine independently developed by Everest. EVM16 contains neoantigens with high immunogenicity potential that are predicted based on the unique tumor mutations of each patient by Everest’s proprietary neoantigen prediction algorithm. The vaccine uses a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system to efficiently deliver neoantigen-encoded mRNA in vivo, activating neoantigen-specific tumor-killing T cells and inhibiting tumor growth."EVM16 is the first personalized mRNA cancer vaccine independently developed by Everest using our proprietary mRNA platform. The initiation of this clinical trial is an important milestone that demonstrates our commitment to discover and develop a new generation of mRNA immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases.” said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines.“While establishing leadership positions in nephrology, infectious disease, and autoimmune diseases, Everest will also focus on innovative modalities such as therapeutic mRNA vaccines. We look forward to seeing personalized cancer vaccines become a new clinical treatment method to serve more patients."According to the Globocan’s data in 2022, there were 19.976 million new cancer cases globally, with 9.744 million cancer-related deaths1. In the last few decades, Immunotherapy including checkpoint inhibitors has become an important part of treating some cancer types. However, they are only effective for some patients, and there is an urgent need to develop new generations of immunotherapies, such as personalized mRNA cancer vaccines, that have demonstrated early promise in clinical development. In preclinical studies, vaccination with EVM16 stimulated a strong neoantigen-specific T cell response in different mouse models and showed significant tumor growth inhibition in the syngeneic B16F10 mouse melanoma model. Preclinical data also demonstrated that the combination of EVM16 and a PD-1 antibody has synergistic effect, which supports the clinical application of the combination of EVM16 with checkpoint inhibitors. In preclinical toxicity studies, repeated dosing with EVM16 was well tolerated and safe. Taken together, the preclinical immunogenicity, efficacy and safety studies demonstrate that EVM16 is safe and has potential to bring benefits to cancer patients.Everest has built end-to-end capabilities across its proprietary mRNA platform. Our R&D team is developing multiple mRNA-based therapeutic products, as well as next generation lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems to enhance cell-mediated immune response. Our mRNA manufacturing facility in Jiashan, Zhejiang Province in China is designed to comply with global cGMP standards and is able to produce at clinical- and commercial-scale. Everest owns full global intellectual property rights to its mRNA therapeutic programs.Reference:1.Globocan 2022: https://gco.iarc.who.int/media/globocan/factsheets/populations/900-world-fact-sheet.pdfAbout EVM16EVM16 is a novel personalized mRNA cancer vaccine independently developed by Everest Medicines Limited.. EVM16 contains neoantigens with high immunogenicity potential which are predicted by Everest-proprietary algorithm and uses an LNP delivery system to efficiently deliver mRNAs that express tumor neoantigens into the human body. After vaccination with EVM16, neoantigens-encoding mRNAs are delivered into cells to produce neoantigen peptides, which activate neoantigen-specific T cell immune responses to kill tumor cells, thereby inhibiting tumor growthAbout EVM16CX01 studyThe study is a FIH, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and initial efficacy of EVM16 injection as a single and in combination with PD-1 antibody in subjects with advanced or recurrent solid tumors.,. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of EVM16 monotherapy and EVM16 in combination with PD-1 antibody in subjects with advanced or recurrent solid tumors, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of EVM16. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the immunogenicity of EVM16, and the initial efficacy of EVM16 in combination with PD-1 antibody in subjects with advanced or recurrent solid tumors.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets.

小鹏汽车因竞争加剧,收入预期黯淡 Finance

小鹏汽车因竞争加剧,收入预期黯淡

财务预测 (SeaPRwire) - 小鹏汽车 (NYSE:XPEV) 预计第三季度的收入将低于预期,预计数字将低于该公司的预期。该公司报告称,其第三季度收入预计将在 91 亿元至 98 亿元之间,而分析师预计约为 104 亿元。 季度表现 在 6 月份的季度业绩中,小鹏汽车的收入为 81.1 亿元人民币 (11.4 亿美元),低于预期的 81.7 亿元人民币。尽管毛利率略微上升至 14%,增长了 1.1 个百分点,但小鹏汽车仍在与激烈的竞争和其现有电动汽车 (EV) 产品线需求下降作斗争。 车辆交付 小鹏汽车的目标是在第三季度交付 41,000 至 45,000 辆汽车,超过去年同期交付的 40,008 辆。该公司报告称,4 月至 6 月期间的汽车利润率提高至 6.4%,高于上一季度的 5.5%。 未来计划和挑战 为了增强其市场地位,小鹏汽车计划在未来三年内以 10 万元至 40 万元 (14,001.88 美元至 56,007.51 美元) 的价格更新其车型阵容,推出新款电动汽车。即将推出的 MONA M03 中型轿车将与比亚迪的 Seagull 和 Dolphin 车型以及特斯拉的 Model 3 竞争。 然而,小鹏汽车的扩张计划面临挑战,特别是由于欧盟委员会对中国制造的电动汽车征收关税。该公司正在考虑在欧洲建立一家制造工厂,以减轻这些关税的影响。 竞争格局 小鹏汽车正在与国内玩家如比亚迪和蔚来 (NYSE:NIO) 以及包括特斯拉 (NASDAQ:TSLA) 在内的全球竞争对手展开激烈竞争。这种竞争压力加上监管障碍正在影响小鹏汽车的财务前景和市场策略。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

亚马逊股票:人工智能成本上升的影响 Finance

亚马逊股票:人工智能成本上升的影响

亚马逊股票表现 (SeaPRwire) - 亚马逊股票 (NASDAQ:AMZN) 在大型科技股中面临着独特的挑战,因为它在人工智能 (AI) 计算方面的支出影响了其盈利能力和股票表现。在 8 月初发布财报后,亚马逊股票的表现落后于其他大型科技股。这家电子商务巨头将重点转向人工智能投资,标志着其此前削减成本措施的转变,导致利润大幅增长,股价大幅上涨。 投资者担心,资本支出的增加将对现金流产生负面影响。从历史上看,当亚马逊公司强调提高盈利能力而不是增加投资时,亚马逊股票的表现会更好。最近重回投资模式的转变令投资者质疑,强劲的股价表现时期是否会暂停或结束。自财报发布以来,亚马逊的股价一直保持在财报发布前水平以下 3% 以上,而包括其他主要科技股在内的彭博七大奇迹指数在同一时期上涨了约 4%。 投资者担忧和市场反应 投资者担心支出增加会损害盈利能力,这一点至关重要,尤其是在利润率扩张是亚马逊股价在 7 月初达到顶峰之前上涨 30% 以上的关键驱动因素的情况下。Benchmark 的丹尼尔·库尔诺斯 (Daniel Kurnos) 认为,最近的事件可能会导致未来几个季度利润率进一步下降,因为在潜在不稳定的宏观经济环境中,公司将重新关注营收增长。 亚马逊多元化的业务模式,包括零售、视频流媒体以及电影和电视,对其表现的影响与其他科技公司不同。虽然 AWS 云计算部门仍然强劲,但美国消费者需求疲软可能会对零售部门产生负面影响。投资者似乎在等待更多关于消费者行为的信息,这可能解释了为什么亚马逊股票的表现不如其他科技巨头。 此外,投资者越来越担心亚马逊不断增长的现金储备以及其不支付股息。与其他主要科技公司不同,亚马逊不支付股息,在回购股票方面也行动较慢。虽然其同行已经授权了大量的回购计划,但亚马逊在 2022 年批准的 100 亿美元回购计划在 6 月底之前完成不到一半,并且在上个季度没有回购任何股票。 与科技同行对比分析 亚马逊面临着越来越大的压力,要求其争夺投资者资金,尤其是当 Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META)、Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) 和 Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) 等公司开始在回购的同时发放股息时。摩根士丹利分析师布莱恩·诺瓦克 (Brian Nowak) 领导的团队表示,亚马逊的资本回报政策与同行相比影响较小。如果这种情况到 2025 年底没有改变,亚马逊的净现金余额可能占其总市值的 8%,使其成为按市值计算排名前 25 的标普 500 指数公司之一。持续的资本回报政策有可能提高亚马逊的现金流倍数。 尽管存在这些挑战,但有迹象表明,投资者开始买入包括亚马逊股票在内的被打压的科技股,包括 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA)、Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) 和 Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)。亚马逊的股价自 8 月 5 日的最新低点以来已经上涨了约 11%。 亚马逊股价最近的下跌使其估值降至约 28 倍预期收益,这比大多数所谓的“七大奇迹”公司都低,只有 Alphabet 的倍数更低。亚马逊的估值也略高于纳斯达克 100 指数,该指数的预期收益倍数约为 26 倍。投资者继续将“七大奇迹”公司的下跌视为买入机会,并且倾向于恢复这种策略,直到它被证明无效为止。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
