But the company has other levers to drive growth, and not all of them involve hardware.<blockquote>对于苹果投资者来说，未来几周的焦点将是下一代iPhone，可能会在下个月的某个时候推出。但该公司还有其他杠杆来推动增长，但并非所有杠杆都涉及硬件。</blockquote> In particular,Apple(ticker: AAPL) has a substantial and growing opportunity in advertising and search revenue. A pair of research notes from the Street on Wednesday highlight how both areas should provide a material boost to top-line growth in the months and years ahead — while also noting a few associated risks.<blockquote>特别是，苹果（股票代码：AAPL）在广告和搜索收入方面拥有巨大且不断增长的机会。华尔街周三发布的两份研究报告强调了这两个领域应如何在未来几个月和几年内为营收增长提供实质性推动，同时也指出了一些相关风险。</blockquote> In a new report, Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani dove into Apple’s growing opportunity in advertising, and he likes what he found. Daryanani thinks Apple’s ad business can grow to $20 billion in the September 2025 fiscal year, from an estimated $2 billion in fiscal 2020, most of that from App Store ads.<blockquote>在一份新报告中，Evercore ISI 分析师 Amit Daryanani 深入探讨了苹果在广告领域不断增长的机遇，他对自己的发现非常满意。Daryanani 认为，苹果的广告业务在 2025 年 9 月财年可能会增长到 200 亿美元，而 2020 财年的估计为 20 亿美元，其中大部分来自 App Store 广告。</blockquote> He notes that the projected growth would be similar to that of&nbsp;Amazon’s(AMZN) ad business, which has expanded to about $20 billion from about $3 billion over a four-year span. Daryanani asserts that ads could account for as much as 9% of Apple’s earnings per share in fiscal 2025 if the business hits his target.<blockquote>他指出，预计的增长将与亚马逊（AMZN）的广告业务类似，后者在四年内从约 30 亿美元扩展到约 200 亿美元。达里亚纳尼断言，如果业务达到他的目标，广告在 2025 财年可能占苹果每股收益的 9%。</blockquote> “Apple’s advertising business remains an underappreciated lever for upside as we go forward and provides them with a unique way to ensure consumer privacy is upheld, but also further enhance the monetization mechanisms,” Daryanani writes in a research note.<blockquote>“Daryanani 在一份研究报告中写道：”随着我们的发展，苹果的广告业务仍然是一个被低估的上升杠杆，它为他们提供了一种独特的方式，以确保消费者隐私得到维护，同时也进一步增强了货币化机制。</blockquote> Under Apple’s “App Tracking Transparency” program, apps must ask for permission before tracking user activity across other companies’ apps and websites. The program has been positioned as a privacy measure, but has the secondary effect of shifting more ad dollars to Apple’s own advertising platform.<blockquote>根据苹果的 “应用追踪透明度 ”计划，应用在追踪其他公司应用和网站上的用户活动之前必须征得许可。该计划被定位为一项隐私措施，但其副作用是将更多的广告资金转移到苹果自己的广告平台上。</blockquote> Daryanani sees the biggest opportunity in shifting the App Store ad platform to content discovery, not just content delivery — ads offer a way for app developers to attract customers, in the same way that Amazon ads help sellers cut through the clutter to lure shoppers. And he sees additional advertising opportunities in Apple Maps and Apple TV+, among other places.<blockquote>Daryanani认为，将App Store广告平台转向内容发现，而不仅仅是内容交付，是最大的机会——广告为应用开发者提供了一种吸引客户的方式，就像亚马逊广告帮助卖家穿过杂乱吸引购物者一样。他在苹果地图和苹果电视+等地方看到了更多的广告机会。</blockquote> “Advertising is a great growth opportunity for Apple and their tremendous installed base gives them a competitive advantage that they have not effectively exploited in the past,” he adds. “Recent actions indicate this is set to change as Apple looks to capture its fair share of a $1 trillion market.”<blockquote>“他补充说：”广告对苹果来说是一个巨大的增长机会，他们庞大的安装基础为他们提供了过去没有有效利用的竞争优势。“最近的行动表明，随着苹果希望在 1 万亿美元的市场中抢占公平份额，这种情况将会改变。”</blockquote> Daryanani is not the only analyst that sees potential expansion in the Apple ad business. Earlier this month,Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote a long research note on the same topic; his conclusion was that ads could be a $7 billion to $10 billion business for Apple in fiscal 2023 or 2024. He noted that growth drivers for the Apple ad business include the June addition of search ads in China, higher ad loads, and the introduction of banner ads to the App Store in May. Sacconaghi also pointed out that Apple generates very modest revenue today — likely under $500 million a year — from ads in the Apple News and Stocks apps. Daryanani echoed all of those points in his report.<blockquote>Daryanani并不是唯一一个看到苹果广告业务潜在扩张的分析师。本月早些时候，伯恩斯坦分析师托尼·萨科纳吉就同一主题写了一份长篇研究报告；他的结论是，在 2023 财年或 2024 财年，广告可能成为苹果 70 亿至 100 亿美元的业务。他指出，苹果广告业务的增长动力包括 6 月份在中国大陆增加的搜索广告、更高的广告负载以及 5 月份在 App Store 引入横幅广告。萨科纳吉还指出，苹果目前从苹果新闻和股票应用程序中的广告中获得的收入非常有限，每年可能不到 5 亿美元。Daryanani在他的报告中呼应了所有这些观点。</blockquote> Meanwhile, in a new note on Wednesday, Sacconaghi turns his attention to Apple’s search relationship with Google, a unit of&nbsp;Alphabet(GOOGL). Google pays Apple a substantial annual fee to be the default search engine on the iPhone — a relationship that has drawn the attention of the Justice Department, which last year filed suit against Google for monopolizing its control of the search market,specifically citing the Apple deal in the complaint.<blockquote>与此同时，在周三的一份新说明中，萨科纳吉将注意力转向了苹果与Alphabet（GOOGL）旗下谷歌的搜索关系。谷歌每年向苹果支付一大笔费用，让其成为 iPhone 上的默认搜索引擎——这种关系引起了司法部的注意，司法部去年对谷歌提起诉讼，指控其垄断了搜索市场的控制权，并在诉状中特别提到了苹果的交易。</blockquote> Neither Apple nor Google has been transparent about the terms of their relationship. Sacconaghi this morning writes that he now thinks Google’s payments to Apple in fiscal 2020 were $10 billion, higher than his previous estimate of $8 billion. And he thinks the payment could jump to $15 billion in fiscal 2021, driving up Apple’s services revenue, and contributing an estimated 9% of Apple’s overall gross profits. He estimates that 39% of Google’s traffic acquisition costs this year will go to Apple, up from an estimated 13% in 2013.<blockquote>苹果和谷歌都没有透露他们的关系条款。萨科纳吉今天上午写道，他现在认为谷歌在 2020 财年向苹果支付的款项为 100 亿美元，高于他之前估计的 80 亿美元。他认为，这笔款项在 2021 财年可能会跃升至 150 亿美元，从而推高苹果的服务收入，并贡献苹果整体毛利润的约 9%。他估计，谷歌今年39%的流量获取成本将用于苹果，高于2013年的13%。</blockquote> Search is really the largest advertising pool for Apple. Sacconaghi estimates that Apple’s overall revenue from advertising in fiscal 2020 was $12.4 billion – and that $10 billion of that came from the company’s search relationship with Google.<blockquote>搜索确实是苹果最大的广告池。萨科纳吉估计，苹果 2020 财年的广告总收入为 124 亿美元，其中 100 亿美元来自该公司与谷歌的搜索关系。</blockquote> Sacconaghi sees some risk in Apple’s growing connection with Google. For one thing, there is regulatory focus on the situation – although he thinks any conclusion of the Justice Department lawsuit is “years away,” he sees a potential 4% to 5% risk to Apple’s profits from an adverse ruling. He also thinks there is some risk that Google could choose to stop paying Apple, or look to renegotiate the terms of its deal and pay less.<blockquote>萨科纳吉认为苹果与谷歌日益密切的联系存在一些风险。首先，监管机构正在关注这一情况--尽管他认为司法部的诉讼 “还需要数年时间”才能得出结论，但他认为不利裁决可能会给苹果的利润带来 4% 到 5% 的潜在风险。他还认为，谷歌可能会选择停止向苹果付款，或者寻求重新谈判交易条款并减少付款，这存在一定的风险。</blockquote> Sacconaghi says Google pays up for the deal in part to ensure&nbsp;Microsoft(MSFT) — the only real rival for Google in search — does not outbid it. But he also says that with payments to Apple likely to approach $20 billion in fiscal 2022, “it is not implausible that Google could revisit its strategy.”<blockquote>萨科纳吉表示，谷歌支付这笔交易的部分原因是为了确保谷歌在搜索领域唯一真正的竞争对手微软（MSFT）的出价不会超过谷歌。但他也表示，2022 财年向苹果支付的款项可能接近 200 亿美元，“谷歌重新审视其战略并非不可能”。</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>Apple Has 2 Secret Weapons.
