The company layers a “security fabric” on top of the hardware that includes “zero trust” network access controls, endpoint protection, and other features.<blockquote>Fortinet（股票代码：FTNT）的旗舰产品是 FortiGate 防火墙，它为企业和政府客户结合了各种安全和网络功能。该公司在硬件之上构建了一层 “安全结构 ”，其中包括 “零信任 ”网络访问控制、端点保护和其他功能。</blockquote>Growth has been impressive: Third-quarter revenue was up 33%, with product revenue up 52% and billings up 42%. RBC analyst Dan Bergstrom wrote in a research note last month following the earnings report that the company is seeing broad-based strength, “driven by the convergence of security and networking, consolidation and increased awareness around the threat landscape.”<blockquote>增长令人印象深刻：第三季度收入增长 33%，产品收入增长 52%，账单增长 42%。加拿大皇家银行（RBC）分析师丹-伯格斯特罗姆（Dan Bergstrom）在上个月财报发布后的一份研究报告中写道，“在安全和网络的融合、整合以及对威胁形势认识的提高的推动下，公司看到了广泛的实力”。</blockquote>In a research note last week previewing the outlook for the software sector for 2022, Mizuho analyst Gregg Moskowitz noted that over the past few years, the company has “strengthened its competitive positioning and taken share in the network security market.” But he thinks it has “more work to do in the cloud,” and notes that its earnings comparisons get tougher in 2022.<blockquote>瑞穗分析师格雷格-莫斯科维茨（Gregg Moskowitz）在上周一份预览 2022 年软件行业前景的研究报告中指出，在过去几年中，该公司 “加强了竞争定位，并在网络安全市场占据了份额”。但他认为 “在云端还有更多工作要做”，并指出 2022 年其盈利比较将变得更加艰难。</blockquote>The chip maker Nvidia (NVDA) was the No. 2 tech stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2021, up 137% year to date, boosting its valuation to $750 billion, which makes it the world’s most highly valued semiconductor company—nearly twice the combined valuation of Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Originally focused on producing graphics cards used in PCs and game consoles, the company has evolved into a key component provider to cloud computing companies—and a play on almost every key trend in the semiconductor world, including cryptocurrency mining, artificial intelligence, electric and autonomous vehicles, and even the metaverse. Revenue in the latest quarter surged 50%.<blockquote>芯片制造商英伟达（NVDA）是2021年标普500第二大科技股，今年迄今上涨137%，估值达到7500亿美元，成为全球估值最高的半导体公司--几乎是英特尔（INTC）和先进微设备公司（AMD）估值总和的两倍。该公司最初专注于生产用于个人电脑和游戏机的显卡，现已发展成为云计算公司的关键组件提供商，并涉足半导体世界几乎所有关键趋势，包括加密货币挖矿、人工智能、电动和自动驾驶汽车，甚至元宇宙。最近一个季度的收入飙升了 50%。</blockquote>The IT consulting and events company Gartner (IT) has rallied 109% this year, as its IT research and consulting arms returned to prepandemic levels, though its events business has continued to lag. Gartner’s surge reflects widespread anticipation of a continued acceleration in enterprise technology spending as the world emerges from the pandemic. Another strong stock on a related theme was EPAM Systems (EPAM), an IT consulting firm that has rallied 95% over the past year.<blockquote>IT咨询和活动公司Gartner（IT）今年上涨了109%，其IT研究和咨询部门恢复到大流行前的水平，尽管其活动业务继续落后。Gartner 的飙升反映了人们普遍预期，随着全球摆脱大流行病，企业技术支出将继续加速。另一只相关主题的强劲股票是 EPAM Systems (EPAM)，这是一家 IT 咨询公司，在过去一年中上涨了 95%。</blockquote>Arista Networks shares (ANET) have doubled this year on strong demand for its networking wares, in particular from cloud players. The company is seeing accelerating earnings growth, and last month announced both a 4-for-1 stock split and a $1 billion stock-repurchase plan. Another stock that benefited from strong demand from cloud players is disk-drive maker Seagate Technology (STX), which rallied 83%. While the company was once largely tied to the PC market, it now primarily sells drives for enterprise applications.<blockquote>由于对其网络产品的强劲需求，尤其是来自云玩家的需求，Arista Networks (ANET) 的股价今年翻了一番。该公司的盈利增长正在加速，上个月宣布了 4 比 1 的股票分割和 10 亿美元的股票回购计划。另一只受益于云玩家强劲需求的股票是磁盘驱动器制造商希捷科技 (STX)，该股上涨了 83%。虽然该公司曾经主要与个人电脑市场挂钩，但现在主要销售企业应用驱动器。</blockquote>Semiconductor equipment stocks have been strong performers in 2021, no surprise given the continuing chip shortage and new commitments to expand capacity from Intel (INTC),Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM),GlobalFoundries (GF), and other chip manufacturers. Among the best performers in the S&amp;P 500 were Applied Materials (AMAT), up 89%, and KLA (KLAC), up 70%.<blockquote>半导体设备股在 2021 年表现强劲，考虑到芯片持续短缺以及英特尔 (INTC)、台积电 (TSM)、格芯 (GF) 和其他芯片制造商扩大产能的新承诺，这并不奇怪。标普500表现最好的公司包括应用材料公司 (AMAT)，上涨 89%，KLA (KLAC)，上涨 70%。</blockquote>Intuit (INTU) shares have rallied 70%, driven by better-than-expected revenue growth, thanks in part to the company’s successful acquisition of Credit Karma. October-quarter revenues were up 52%, 15 percentage points ahead of the company’s original guidance. In an interview with Barron’s in November, Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi said the better-than-expected growth reflects the success of the company’s strategy over the past few years to expand its services for both consumers and small businesses beyond accounting and tax software.<blockquote>在收入增长好于预期的推动下，Intuit (INTU) 股价上涨了 70%，部分原因是该公司成功收购了 Credit Karma。10 月份季度的收入增长了 52%，比公司最初的指引高出 15 个百分点。在接受采访时巴伦11 月，Intuit 首席执行官 Sasan Goodarzi 表示，好于预期的增长反映了公司在过去几年中为消费者和小企业扩大服务的战略取得了成功，而不仅仅是会计和税务软件。</blockquote>Rounding out the top 10, with a gain of 69%, is Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), pushing its valuation to nearly $2 trillion. The company continues to see strong growth in demand for online advertising. Google has largely avoided the pain inflicted on some ad-supported businesses by Apple‘s (AAPL) shift to new rules that make it harder to follow customer behavior on iPhones. Search activity isn’t as dependent as display ads for determining consumer intent—and it seems likely that some ad spend is shifting from social media to search-based advertising. Growth is robust, too, in the company’s YouTube business.<blockquote>谷歌母公司Alphabet（GOOGL）以 69% 的涨幅位列前十，将其估值推至近 2 万亿美元。该公司在线广告需求继续强劲增长。谷歌在很大程度上避免了苹果(AAPL)转向新规则给一些广告支持的企业带来的痛苦，这些新规则使得跟踪iPhone上的客户行为变得更加困难。在决定消费者意图方面，搜索活动并不像展示广告那样依赖--而且一些广告支出似乎正在从社交媒体转向基于搜索的广告。该公司的 YouTube 业务也增长强劲。</blockquote></body></html><blockquote></blockquote>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>The 10 Best S&P 500 Tech Stocks of 2021 Start With a Highflying Security Company<blockquote>2021 年 10 只最佳标普500科技股始于一家飞速发展的安全公司</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\">\nThe 10 Best S&P 500 Tech Stocks of 2021 Start With a Highflying Security Company<blockquote>2021 年 10 只最佳标普500科技股始于一家飞速发展的安全公司</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nBarrons2021-12-29 16:46\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body>In a year in which cybersecurity incidents soared, the security hardware company Fortinet was the best-performing technology stock in the S&amp;P 500,up about 150% year to date.<blockquote><html><head></head><body>在网络安全事件激增的一年里，安全硬件公司 Fortinet 是标准普尔 500 指数中表现最好的科技股，今年迄今已上涨约 150%。</body></html></blockquote>Fortinet’s (ticker: FTNT) flagship product is the FortiGate firewall, which combines various security and networking features for both enterprise and government customers.
