Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p><p><blockquote>尽管福特和蔚来之间存在天壤之别，但两家公司将在快速增长的全球电动汽车市场上展开正面交锋。福特的车队尚未专注于电动汽车，但这种情况将会改变：感觉到电动汽车竞赛正在升温，福特表示正在加速其电气化计划，到2025年投资300B美元用于其电动汽车制造能力。福特之前的资本计划要求对零排放汽车投资220亿美元。福特还设定了一个雄心勃勃的销售目标：未来十年内其全球销量的40%将是电动汽车，皮卡销量的33%将是电动汽车。如今，电动汽车销量仅占福特销量的1%。随着福特逐步淘汰内燃机，它将在2040年发展成为一家全电动汽车制造商。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Market opportunity</b></p><p><blockquote><b>市场机会</b></blockquote></p><p> In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p><p><blockquote>2020年，全球电动汽车销量为320万辆，市场份额仅为4.2%。然而，2020年，中国购买了全球41%的电动汽车。中国买家去年购买了130万辆电动汽车，随着北京寻求提高电动汽车的采用率，销量将快速增长。电动汽车的第二大市场是欧洲，占全球电动汽车销量的42%。美国只是世界上插电式电动汽车的第三大市场。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：维基百科）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p><p><blockquote>迄今为止，中国是世界上增长最快的电动汽车市场，尽管欧洲正在迅速赶上，部分原因是立法努力增加零排放乘用车的采用，以及对全欧洲充电站网络的大量投资。蔚来即将进入欧洲市场，以期在竞争准备就绪之前扩大在全球第二大电动汽车市场的市场份额。</blockquote></p><p> Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p><p><blockquote>北京是蔚来汽车行业电气化背后的驱动力：政府希望到2025年电动汽车在新车销售中的份额达到20%，这将推动电动汽车在国内市场的渗透率。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：施罗德）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> Turning to growth projections.</p><p><blockquote>转向增长预测。</blockquote></p><p> With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.</p><p><blockquote>随着中国和欧洲等地政府对电动汽车制造商采取更有利的政策，这些市场有望出现全球最快的销售增长和最高的电动汽车采用率。由于人口规模，中国不仅是最大的市场，而且预计到2030年，中国的电动汽车销量将超过世界上所有其他市场。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61d19dff2f34e2d8828aca854e85d84a\" tg-width=\"825\" tg-height=\"565\"><span>(Source:McKinsey)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：麦肯锡）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> Since China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.</p><p><blockquote>由于中国拥有更大的总市场规模、更高的电动汽车采用率、更强劲的预期销售增长以及更有利的监管框架，因此中国的赢家将是：蔚来。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Scale and manufacturing competence</b></p><p><blockquote><b>规模和制造能力</b></blockquote></p><p> Ford has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p><p><blockquote>福特拥有一个世纪的制造经验。但到目前为止，福特的产品线中只有一款全电动汽车可以与蔚来相媲美：野马Mach-E SUV。2022年，福特将开始销售全电动F-150 Lightening，该车建立在福特最畅销皮卡车的成功基础上。蔚来已经拥有更强大的产品目录，包括5座ES6 SUV、5座轿跑SUV EC6以及6座和7座全尺寸SUV ES8。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p><p><blockquote>由于蔚来仅专注于生产电动汽车，并且占据了非常小且明确的利基市场，因此这家中国公司在电动汽车制造专业知识方面具有优势。问题是这种优势能持续多久。福特在制造汽车方面拥有丰富的经验，可以利用全球制造基地以比任何利基电动汽车制造商所希望的更快的速度提高电动汽车产量。这使得福特不仅在美国成为特斯拉(TSLA)的有力竞争对手，而且在国外也成为蔚来的有力竞争对手。福特正在加速其电气化计划，它有资源和雄心在未来十年内成为电动汽车的领导者。福特提议在其车队电气化上投入300B美元，这将加速其转型，并使福特成为其他电动汽车制造商的长期威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Winner here: Ford.</p><p><blockquote>赢家：福特。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p><p><blockquote><b>差异化和BaaS收入模式</b></blockquote></p><p> Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来都知道差异化在一个竞争只会随着时间的推移而变得更加激烈的市场中的重要性，这就是为什么两家公司都在一个可以打破或巩固电动汽车市场主导地位的相关领域：电池技术。</blockquote></p><p> Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p><p><blockquote>福特正在与韩国电池技术公司SK Innovation组建一家合资企业，以确保牵引电池单元和阵列模块的供应。该合资企业旨在加速电池交付，每年将生产约60 GWh，足以满足福特到2030年预计年度能源需求的25%。蔚来也在投资电池技术，并成立了自己的合资企业来确保电池供应。</blockquote></p><p> The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p><p><blockquote>与福特的不同之处在于，蔚来的电池投资策略围绕电池订阅模式，也称为“电池即服务”，这为这家中国汽车制造商创造了强大的长期收入机会。在这种“BaaS”模式下，购买蔚来电动汽车的用户可以获得7万元人民币的初始折扣，相当于1.08万美元，并且可以签约包月租用可充电的70 kWh电池。然后可以在蔚来的一个电池交换站更换电池，该站遍布中国大多数大城市。电池订阅费用为每月980元人民币，相当于150美元。</blockquote></p><p> The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p><p><blockquote>BaaS模式对汽车制造商和用户都有几个好处：由于预付折扣，从蔚来购买电动汽车变得更加实惠，订阅模式确保用户受益于电池技术的进步和更好的性能随着时间的推移。将电池成本与汽车价格脱钩为蔚来创造了一个全新的订阅收入来源。“BaaS”订阅的收入可用于增加蔚来充电/更换站网络的密度。电池订阅模式还将客户与蔚来绑定在一起，有可能增加客户的终身价值。</blockquote></p><p> Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来准备从电动汽车电池成本下降中受益，因为它们增加了资本配置。随着越来越多的投资流入开发更高效的电池，性能将会提高，成本将会下降，这将推动电动汽车的采用并使所有电动汽车制造商受益。这是因为较低的电池价格使电动汽车与内燃机乘用车相比更具竞争力。但由于蔚来明确围绕电池订阅构建其商业模式的一部分，蔚来可能比福特受益更多。</blockquote></p><p> Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p><p><blockquote>根据投资公司施罗德(Schroders)提供的信息，自2014年以来，电动汽车的电池成本已下降70%，并且在本十年还将进一步下降。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：施罗德）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.</p><p><blockquote>“BaaS”模式非常天才，从长远来看，它可能会发展成为蔚来每年5亿美元的收入机会。尽管福特正在加大对电池技术的投资，但这一类别的赢家是：蔚来。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Sales growth and valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>销售增长和估值</b></blockquote></p><p> Ford’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.</p><p><blockquote>福特5月份销量同比增长4.1%，但电动汽车销量（包括混合动力汽车）同比飙升184%，福特5月份售出创纪录的10,364辆电动汽车/混合动力汽车。Escape electrified销量和Explorer Hybrid销量同比增长125%和132%，显示出强劲的客户接受度。蔚来上个月交付了6,711辆汽车，其中包括3,017辆ES6、1,412辆ES8和2,282辆EC6。5月份总交付量同比增长率为95.3%。</blockquote></p><p> Ford's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.</p><p><blockquote>福特的销量是蔚来的54倍，这为蔚来创造了更多的销售增长和价值重估潜力。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df5a0a393e44ed74241c5effcdd92350\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>数据来自YCharts</span></p></blockquote></p><p></p><p> The difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来的估值差异就像白天和黑夜的区别。这是因为尽管电动汽车类别出现爆炸性增长，但福特仍被视为一家成熟的汽车制造商，预计企业销量将实现中低位数增长。预计到2025财年（基准年：2020财年），福特的收入将增长33%，蔚来的收入将增长808%！</blockquote></p><p> Due to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.</p><p><blockquote>由于这些销量增长的差异，蔚来与福特完全相反，至少就估值而言。这家中国电动汽车制造商预计今年的销量和交付量将增长接近100%，由于蔚来只经营电动汽车，蔚来的市值与销售额比率远高于福特。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/817605c6b1e82c03d0473ea570d32b8f\" tg-width=\"506\" tg-height=\"406\"><span>(Source: Author)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：作者）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <b>NIO has larger risks...</b></p><p><blockquote><b>蔚来风险更大……</b></blockquote></p><p> NIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network.

China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption.

But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p><p><blockquote>福特拥有一个世纪的制造经验。但到目前为止，福特的产品线中只有一款全电动汽车可以与蔚来相媲美：野马Mach-E SUV。2022年，福特将开始销售全电动F-150 Lightening，该车建立在福特最畅销皮卡车的成功基础上。蔚来已经拥有更强大的产品目录，包括5座ES6 SUV、5座轿跑SUV EC6以及6座和7座全尺寸SUV ES8。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p><p><blockquote>由于蔚来仅专注于生产电动汽车，并且占据了非常小且明确的利基市场，因此这家中国公司在电动汽车制造专业知识方面具有优势。问题是这种优势能持续多久。福特在制造汽车方面拥有丰富的经验，可以利用全球制造基地以比任何利基电动汽车制造商所希望的更快的速度提高电动汽车产量。这使得福特不仅在美国成为特斯拉(TSLA)的有力竞争对手，而且在国外也成为蔚来的有力竞争对手。福特正在加速其电气化计划，它有资源和雄心在未来十年内成为电动汽车的领导者。福特提议在其车队电气化上投入300B美元，这将加速其转型，并使福特成为其他电动汽车制造商的长期威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Winner here: Ford.</p><p><blockquote>赢家：福特。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p><p><blockquote><b>差异化和BaaS收入模式</b></blockquote></p><p> Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来都知道差异化在一个竞争只会随着时间的推移而变得更加激烈的市场中的重要性，这就是为什么两家公司都在一个可以打破或巩固电动汽车市场主导地位的相关领域：电池技术。</blockquote></p><p> Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p><p><blockquote>福特正在与韩国电池技术公司SK Innovation组建一家合资企业，以确保牵引电池单元和阵列模块的供应。该合资企业旨在加速电池交付，每年将生产约60 GWh，足以满足福特到2030年预计年度能源需求的25%。蔚来也在投资电池技术，并成立了自己的合资企业来确保电池供应。</blockquote></p><p> The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p><p><blockquote>与福特的不同之处在于，蔚来的电池投资策略围绕电池订阅模式，也称为“电池即服务”，这为这家中国汽车制造商创造了强大的长期收入机会。在这种“BaaS”模式下，购买蔚来电动汽车的用户可以获得7万元人民币的初始折扣，相当于1.08万美元，并且可以签约包月租用可充电的70 kWh电池。然后可以在蔚来的一个电池交换站更换电池，该站遍布中国大多数大城市。电池订阅费用为每月980元人民币，相当于150美元。</blockquote></p><p> The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p><p><blockquote>BaaS模式对汽车制造商和用户都有几个好处：由于预付折扣，从蔚来购买电动汽车变得更加实惠，订阅模式确保用户受益于电池技术的进步和更好的性能随着时间的推移。将电池成本与汽车价格脱钩为蔚来创造了一个全新的订阅收入来源。“BaaS”订阅的收入可用于增加蔚来充电/更换站网络的密度。电池订阅模式还将客户与蔚来绑定在一起，有可能增加客户的终身价值。</blockquote></p><p> Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来准备从电动汽车电池成本下降中受益，因为它们增加了资本配置。随着越来越多的投资流入开发更高效的电池，性能将会提高，成本将会下降，这将推动电动汽车的采用并使所有电动汽车制造商受益。这是因为较低的电池价格使电动汽车与内燃机乘用车相比更具竞争力。但由于蔚来明确围绕电池订阅构建其商业模式的一部分，蔚来可能比福特受益更多。</blockquote></p><p> Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p><p><blockquote>根据投资公司施罗德(Schroders)提供的信息，自2014年以来，电动汽车的电池成本已下降70%，并且在本十年还将进一步下降。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：施罗德）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term.

As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.\nMarket opportunity\nIn 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.\n(Source: Wikipedia)\nChina, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is on the cusp of entering the European market in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.\nBeijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a twenty percent share of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.\n(Source:Schroders)\nTurning to growth projections.\nWith more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.\n(Source:McKinsey)\nSince China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.\nScale and manufacturing competence\nFord has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.\nSince NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.\nWinner here: Ford.\nDifferentiation and BaaS revenue model\nBoth Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.\nFord is forming a joint venture with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has formed its own joint venture to secure battery supply.\nThe difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.\nThe BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.\nFord and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.\nBattery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.\n(Source: Schroders)\nThe “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.\nSales growth and valuation\nFord’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.\nFord's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.\nData by YCharts\nThe difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!\nDue to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.\n(Source: Author)\nNIO has larger risks...\nNIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.\nFinal verdict\nNIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.\nFord’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.\nIf you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"F":0.9,"NIO":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1542,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127096110,"gmtCreate":1624800737930,"gmtModify":1633948518726,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/127096110","repostId":"1172710941","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1494,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":109184602,"gmtCreate":1619673554706,"gmtModify":1634210812159,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up up up&nbsp;","listText":"Up up up&nbsp;","text":"Up up up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/109184602","repostId":"1132578048","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1298,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":100830101,"gmtCreate":1619597610603,"gmtModify":1634211459610,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will be back very soon !&nbsp;","listText":"Will be back very soon !&nbsp;","text":"Will be back very soon !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/100830101","repostId":"1187646472","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187646472","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":1619597447,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1187646472?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-28 16:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft fell more than 2% in premarket trading<blockquote>微软盘前交易跌超2%</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1187646472","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Microsoft fell more than 2% in premarket trading,and its operating profit margin fell in the third q","content":"<p>Microsoft fell more than 2% in premarket trading,and its operating profit margin fell in the third quarter.</p><p><blockquote>微软盘前跌超2%，三季度营业利润率下滑。</blockquote></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fce0c77c516689310889eed28a27bce8\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p><b>Microsoft Results Beat in Q1 as Cloud Growth Gathers Pace</b></p><p><blockquote><b>随着云增长步伐加快，微软第一季度业绩好于预期</b></blockquote></p><p>Microsoft reported Tuesday first-quarter results that beat consensus estimates, led by strong growth in its cloud division as businesses continue to move workloads to the cloud.</p><p><blockquote>微软周二公布的第一季度业绩超出了普遍预期，随着企业继续将工作负载转移到云，其云部门强劲增长。</blockquote></p><p>The company announced earnings per share of $1.95 on revenue of $41.71B.

The company’s operating profits are expected to be up 6%, to $2.55 a class B share, according to FactSet.</p><p><blockquote>在周六会议之前，伯克希尔将发布第一季度财报，投资者将关注回购事宜。FactSet的数据显示，该公司的营业利润预计将增长6%，达到每股B类股2.55美元。</blockquote></p><p> <i>Barron’s</i>has estimated that Berkshire bought back about $5 billion of stock from year-end through early March based on the share count disclosed in the recent proxy statement. Investors will look to see how much more stock Berkshire repurchased during the rest of March as the share price rose. Our guess is that Berkshire probably didn’t match the fourth-quarter total of $9 billion in the first quarter.</p><p><blockquote><i>巴伦周刊</i>根据最近的委托书中披露的股票数量，估计伯克希尔从年底到3月初回购了约50亿美元的股票。随着股价上涨，投资者将关注伯克希尔哈撒韦公司在3月份剩余时间内回购了多少股票。我们的猜测是，伯克希尔哈撒韦公司可能没有达到第一季度90亿美元的第四季度总额。</blockquote></p><p> “I’m interested to see their enthusiasm for the buyback program given the performance of the stock,” says James Shanahan, an Edward Jones analyst, referring to Buffett and Munger.</p><p><blockquote>爱德华·琼斯(Edward Jones)分析师詹姆斯·沙纳汉(James Shanahan)在谈到巴菲特和芒格时表示：“鉴于该股的表现，我有兴趣看到他们对回购计划的热情。”</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has said Berkshire will be price conscious about buybacks, but has not provided any specifics.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特曾表示，伯克希尔将对回购保持价格意识，但没有提供任何细节。</blockquote></p><p> Shanahan sees a rise in the book value to $296,000 a class A share on March 31 from $287,000 at year-end 2020. The stock now trades for about 1.4 times that March 31 estimate, up from a low of around 1.1 times book a year ago and close to the five-year average.</p><p><blockquote>沙纳汉预计A类股的账面价值将从2020年底的287,000美元升至3月31日的296,000美元。该股目前的交易价格约为3月31日预期的1.4倍，高于一年前约1.1倍的低点，接近五年平均水平。</blockquote></p><p> There could also be shareholder questions about climate change and diversity at Berkshire. The company has recommended that shareholders reject proposals about providing more disclosure about both issues.</p><p><blockquote>股东还可能对伯克希尔的气候变化和多样性提出疑问。该公司建议股东拒绝就这两个问题提供更多信息的提议。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett is likely to weigh in on the current investment landscape.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特可能会对当前的投资格局发表意见。</blockquote></p><p> He wasn’t aggressive on making new investments in 2020, as Berkshire sold a net $8 billion of stocks, including a group of airlines, and stakes inJPMorgan Chase(JPM) andGoldman Sachs Group(GS).</p><p><blockquote>他在2020年并没有积极进行新投资，伯克希尔哈撒韦净出售了80亿美元的股票，其中包括一组航空公司，以及摩根大通(JPM)和高盛集团(GS)的股份。</blockquote></p><p> This disappointed many holders who hoped Buffett would have been a big buyer of stocks during the selloff and follow his maxim to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”</p><p><blockquote>这让许多持有者感到失望，他们希望巴菲特在抛售期间成为股票的大买家，并遵循他的格言“当别人贪婪时恐惧，当别人恐惧时贪婪”。</blockquote></p><p> Berkshire did establish sizable stakes inVerizon Communications(VZ) andChevron(CVX). Buffett may be asked about those purchases and the outlook for bank stocks and the overall market, which is now trading at lofty valuation, with the S&amp;P 500 at around 23 times projected 2021 earnings.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔确实在瑞森通信公司（VZ）和雪佛龙公司（CVX）持有了大量股份。巴菲特可能会被问及这些购买以及银行股和整体市场的前景，巴菲特目前估值很高，标普500约为2021年预计市盈率的23倍。</blockquote></p><p> Berkshire has also been quiet on acquisitions with only one notable deal in 2020, a roughly $10 billion purchase ofDominion Energy’s(D) natural-gas pipeline business by Berkshire Hathaway’s big utility unit, Berkshire Hathaway Energy.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔哈撒韦公司在收购方面也一直保持沉默，2020年只有一笔值得注意的交易，即伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的大型公用事业部门伯克希尔哈撒韦能源公司以约100亿美元收购了Dominion Energy(D)的天然气管道业务。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has long sought to land what he has called an “elephant,” or a large acquisition, but that has proven elusive. Berkshire’s only big deal in the past decade was its $33 billion purchase of Precision Castparts in 2016. The deal for the aircraft-parts maker hasn’t gone well, with the company hit by the aerospace downturn in 2020, forcing Berkshire to take a roughly $11 billion write-down. Amid an improving aerospace market, Buffett might be queried about the outlook for Precision Castparts.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特长期以来一直寻求实现他所谓的“大象”或大型收购，但事实证明这是难以实现的。伯克希尔在过去十年中唯一的一笔大交易是2016年斥资330亿美元收购Precision Castparts。这家飞机零部件制造商的交易进展并不顺利，该公司在2020年受到了航空航天低迷的打击，迫使伯克希尔哈撒韦公司进行了约110亿美元的减记。在航空航天市场不断改善的情况下，巴菲特可能会被问及精密铸件的前景。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has complained in the past that aggressive private-equity firms have made it tough for Berkshire to land big deals. Now, the acquisition environment is even tougher amid record stock prices and a big new buyer of private companies in SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition companies, that have raised about $100 billion this year alone to pursue deals.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特过去曾抱怨过，激进的私募股权公司让伯克希尔很难达成大交易。现在，在创纪录的股价和SPAC（特殊目的收购公司）私营公司的新大买家中，收购环境变得更加严峻，仅今年一年就筹集了约1000亿美元来寻求交易。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> “It’s unlikely there will be a major acquisition soon,” Shanahan says. Berkshire handicaps itself by refusing to participate in corporate auctions. Buffett prefers old-style handshake deals and tells potential sellers that Berkshire’s generally hands-off approach to its dozens of subsidiaries makes it an ideal home for their businesses.</p><p><blockquote>“短期内不太可能进行重大收购，”沙纳汉说。伯克希尔通过拒绝参与公司拍卖来阻碍自己。巴菲特更喜欢老式的握手交易，并告诉潜在卖家，伯克希尔对其数十家子公司普遍不干涉的态度使其成为他们企业的理想家园。</blockquote></p><p> Investors may ask Buffett about trends in the reinsurance business, an important part of Berkshire’s big property and casualty insurance operations. Pricing has been improving in the P&amp;C market. Investors also may query him about Berkshire’s Geico unit, which has been losing ground to its chief auto-insurance rival,Progressive(PGR) in the past year. Geico and Progressive are the two best-run auto insurers in the country and now rank second and third, respectively, behind State Farm.</p><p><blockquote>投资者可能会向巴菲特询问再保险业务的趋势，再保险业务是伯克希尔大型财产和意外险业务的重要组成部分。P&amp;C市场的定价一直在改善。投资者还可能向他询问伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的Geico部门，该部门在过去一年中一直输给其主要汽车保险竞争对手Progressive(PGR)。Geico和Progressive是美国运营最好的两家汽车保险公司，目前分别排名第二和第三，仅次于State Farm。</blockquote></p><p> In a surprise move, Berkshire decided to name one of Buffett’s top investment lieutenants, Todd Combs, as CEO of Geico at the start of 2020. Investors may want to know how long Combs plans to stay at Geico.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔出人意料地决定在2020年初任命巴菲特的高级投资副手之一托德·库姆斯(Todd Combs)担任Geico首席执行官。投资者可能想知道库姆斯计划在Geico呆多久。</blockquote></p><p> There also may be questions about the investment performance of Combs and Ted Weschler, who together run an estimated 10% of Berkshire’s $295 billion equity investment portfolio. The two are a good bet to run the entire equity portfolio in the post-Buffett era.</p><p><blockquote>库姆斯和特德·韦施勒的投资表现也可能存在疑问，他们共同管理着伯克希尔2950亿美元股权投资组合的约10%。在后巴菲特时代，这两家公司是管理整个股票投资组合的绝佳选择。</blockquote></p><p> Another topic is likely to be the railroad industry given the bidding war forKansas City Southern(KSU) by two leading Canadian railroads. Berkshire owns Burlington Northern Santa Fe, one of the big four railroads in the country. Berkshire is unlikely to get involved in the contest for Kansas City Southern.</p><p><blockquote>另一个话题可能是铁路行业，因为加拿大两家主要铁路公司对堪萨斯城南方铁路（KSU）的竞购战。伯克希尔拥有美国四大铁路之一的伯灵顿北圣达菲铁路公司。伯克希尔不太可能参与堪萨斯城南方银行的竞争。</blockquote></p><p> BNSF is probably the single most valuable division within Berkshire and would be worth close to $150 billion, in line with its public rivalUnion Pacific(UNP), if it were a stand-alone company. Berkshire is now valued at around $625 billion.</p><p><blockquote>BNSF可能是伯克希尔旗下最有价值的部门，如果是一家独立公司，其价值将接近1500亿美元，与其上市竞争对手联合太平洋公司(UNP)持平。伯克希尔目前的估值约为6250亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has been a prominent Bitcoin skeptic, having called it “rat poison squared” and not a legitimate asset class. Shareholders may ask what he thinks now that Bitcoin has soared.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特一直是著名的比特币怀疑论者，称其为“老鼠药的平方”，而不是合法的资产类别。股东可能会问，现在比特币大涨了，他是怎么想的。</blockquote></p><p> Also on hand to answer questions will be Berkshire’s vice chairmen, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel, who head Berkshire’s insurance and non-insurance operations, respectively.<i>Barron’s</i>has identified Abel as the most likely successor to Buffett as CEO.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔的副主席阿吉特·贾恩(Ajit Jain)和格雷格·阿贝尔(Greg Abel)也将到场回答问题，他们分别负责伯克希尔的保险和非保险业务。<i>巴伦周刊</i>已确定阿贝尔是最有可能接替巴菲特担任首席执行官的人。</blockquote></p><p> Some investors—and<i>Barron’s</i>—would like to see Jain, Abel, Combs, and Weschler get more exposure at the meeting as the likely next generation of leadership at Berkshire. But Buffett is a creature of habit and he likes the Warren and Charlie show. So that’s what it will be.</p><p><blockquote>一些投资者——以及<i>巴伦周刊</i>——希望看到贾恩、阿贝尔、库姆斯和韦施勒作为伯克希尔下一代领导人在会议上获得更多曝光。但巴菲特是一个习惯性的生物，他喜欢沃伦和查理秀。所以事情就是这样。</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>Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Meeting Is Saturday.

The outspoken Munger, who didn’t participate in last year’s meeting, is popular with the Berkshire faithful. Buffett has run Berkshire for 56 years.\nBerkshire shareholders will likely be in a good mood with the stock on a roll this year. The class A shares hit a record Monday and are up 0.9% to $412,365 on the session. The class B stock is up 0.7% to $273.96 Monday. The class A stock is up 18% this year, comfortably ahead of the S&P 500’s 12% total return, after badly lagging behind the index in both 2019 and 2020.\nBerkshire’s aggressive stock repurchase program will probably be a major topic at the meeting. Investors are interested in Buffett’s current appetite for buybacks given the stock’s rally this year.\nThe company ramped up its buybacks in the second half of 2020, with about $9 billion repurchased in each of the final two quarters of 2020, up from a total of nearly $7 billion in the first half of the year.\nBefore the meeting on Saturday, Berkshire will release its first-quarter earnings, and investors will be focused on the buyback. The company’s operating profits are expected to be up 6%, to $2.55 a class B share, according to FactSet.\nBarron’shas estimated that Berkshire bought back about $5 billion of stock from year-end through early March based on the share count disclosed in the recent proxy statement. Investors will look to see how much more stock Berkshire repurchased during the rest of March as the share price rose. Our guess is that Berkshire probably didn’t match the fourth-quarter total of $9 billion in the first quarter.\n“I’m interested to see their enthusiasm for the buyback program given the performance of the stock,” says James Shanahan, an Edward Jones analyst, referring to Buffett and Munger.\nBuffett has said Berkshire will be price conscious about buybacks, but has not provided any specifics.\nShanahan sees a rise in the book value to $296,000 a class A share on March 31 from $287,000 at year-end 2020. The stock now trades for about 1.4 times that March 31 estimate, up from a low of around 1.1 times book a year ago and close to the five-year average.\nThere could also be shareholder questions about climate change and diversity at Berkshire. The company has recommended that shareholders reject proposals about providing more disclosure about both issues.\nBuffett is likely to weigh in on the current investment landscape.\nHe wasn’t aggressive on making new investments in 2020, as Berkshire sold a net $8 billion of stocks, including a group of airlines, and stakes inJPMorgan Chase(JPM) andGoldman Sachs Group(GS).\nThis disappointed many holders who hoped Buffett would have been a big buyer of stocks during the selloff and follow his maxim to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”\nBerkshire did establish sizable stakes inVerizon Communications(VZ) andChevron(CVX). Buffett may be asked about those purchases and the outlook for bank stocks and the overall market, which is now trading at lofty valuation, with the S&P 500 at around 23 times projected 2021 earnings.\nBerkshire has also been quiet on acquisitions with only one notable deal in 2020, a roughly $10 billion purchase ofDominion Energy’s(D) natural-gas pipeline business by Berkshire Hathaway’s big utility unit, Berkshire Hathaway Energy.\nBuffett has long sought to land what he has called an “elephant,” or a large acquisition, but that has proven elusive. Berkshire’s only big deal in the past decade was its $33 billion purchase of Precision Castparts in 2016. The deal for the aircraft-parts maker hasn’t gone well, with the company hit by the aerospace downturn in 2020, forcing Berkshire to take a roughly $11 billion write-down. Amid an improving aerospace market, Buffett might be queried about the outlook for Precision Castparts.\nBuffett has complained in the past that aggressive private-equity firms have made it tough for Berkshire to land big deals. Now, the acquisition environment is even tougher amid record stock prices and a big new buyer of private companies in SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition companies, that have raised about $100 billion this year alone to pursue deals.\n“It’s unlikely there will be a major acquisition soon,” Shanahan says. Berkshire handicaps itself by refusing to participate in corporate auctions. Buffett prefers old-style handshake deals and tells potential sellers that Berkshire’s generally hands-off approach to its dozens of subsidiaries makes it an ideal home for their businesses.\nInvestors may ask Buffett about trends in the reinsurance business, an important part of Berkshire’s big property and casualty insurance operations. Pricing has been improving in the P&C market. Investors also may query him about Berkshire’s Geico unit, which has been losing ground to its chief auto-insurance rival,Progressive(PGR) in the past year. Geico and Progressive are the two best-run auto insurers in the country and now rank second and third, respectively, behind State Farm.\nIn a surprise move, Berkshire decided to name one of Buffett’s top investment lieutenants, Todd Combs, as CEO of Geico at the start of 2020. Investors may want to know how long Combs plans to stay at Geico.\nThere also may be questions about the investment performance of Combs and Ted Weschler, who together run an estimated 10% of Berkshire’s $295 billion equity investment portfolio. The two are a good bet to run the entire equity portfolio in the post-Buffett era.\nAnother topic is likely to be the railroad industry given the bidding war forKansas City Southern(KSU) by two leading Canadian railroads. Berkshire owns Burlington Northern Santa Fe, one of the big four railroads in the country. Berkshire is unlikely to get involved in the contest for Kansas City Southern.\nBNSF is probably the single most valuable division within Berkshire and would be worth close to $150 billion, in line with its public rivalUnion Pacific(UNP), if it were a stand-alone company. Berkshire is now valued at around $625 billion.\nBuffett has been a prominent Bitcoin skeptic, having called it “rat poison squared” and not a legitimate asset class. Shareholders may ask what he thinks now that Bitcoin has soared.\nAlso on hand to answer questions will be Berkshire’s vice chairmen, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel, who head Berkshire’s insurance and non-insurance operations, respectively.Barron’shas identified Abel as the most likely successor to Buffett as CEO.\nSome investors—andBarron’s—would like to see Jain, Abel, Combs, and Weschler get more exposure at the meeting as the likely next generation of leadership at Berkshire. But Buffett is a creature of habit and he likes the Warren and Charlie show. So that’s what it will be.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BRK.B":0.9,"BRK.A":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1150,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374475678,"gmtCreate":1619479591094,"gmtModify":1634273182461,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"power","listText":"power","text":"power","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/374475678","repostId":"1179520467","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179520467","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1619448994,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179520467?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-26 22:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Invests In 9 Renewable Energy Projects In 5 Countries<blockquote>亚马逊在5个国家投资9个可再生能源项目</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179520467","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Amazon.com Inc.

Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p><p><blockquote>尽管福特和蔚来之间存在天壤之别，但两家公司将在快速增长的全球电动汽车市场上展开正面交锋。福特的车队尚未专注于电动汽车，但这种情况将会改变：感觉到电动汽车竞赛正在升温，福特表示正在加速其电气化计划，到2025年投资300B美元用于其电动汽车制造能力。福特之前的资本计划要求对零排放汽车投资220亿美元。福特还设定了一个雄心勃勃的销售目标：未来十年内其全球销量的40%将是电动汽车，皮卡销量的33%将是电动汽车。如今，电动汽车销量仅占福特销量的1%。随着福特逐步淘汰内燃机，它将在2040年发展成为一家全电动汽车制造商。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Market opportunity</b></p><p><blockquote><b>市场机会</b></blockquote></p><p> In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p><p><blockquote>2020年，全球电动汽车销量为320万辆，市场份额仅为4.2%。然而，2020年，中国购买了全球41%的电动汽车。中国买家去年购买了130万辆电动汽车，随着北京寻求提高电动汽车的采用率，销量将快速增长。电动汽车的第二大市场是欧洲，占全球电动汽车销量的42%。美国只是世界上插电式电动汽车的第三大市场。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：维基百科）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p><p><blockquote>迄今为止，中国是世界上增长最快的电动汽车市场，尽管欧洲正在迅速赶上，部分原因是立法努力增加零排放乘用车的采用，以及对全欧洲充电站网络的大量投资。蔚来即将进入欧洲市场，以期在竞争准备就绪之前扩大在全球第二大电动汽车市场的市场份额。</blockquote></p><p> Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p><p><blockquote>北京是蔚来汽车行业电气化背后的驱动力：政府希望到2025年电动汽车在新车销售中的份额达到20%，这将推动电动汽车在国内市场的渗透率。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：施罗德）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> Turning to growth projections.</p><p><blockquote>转向增长预测。</blockquote></p><p> With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world.

But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p><p><blockquote>福特拥有一个世纪的制造经验。但到目前为止，福特的产品线中只有一款全电动汽车可以与蔚来相媲美：野马Mach-E SUV。2022年，福特将开始销售全电动F-150 Lightening，该车建立在福特最畅销皮卡车的成功基础上。蔚来已经拥有更强大的产品目录，包括5座ES6 SUV、5座轿跑SUV EC6以及6座和7座全尺寸SUV ES8。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p><p><blockquote>由于蔚来仅专注于生产电动汽车，并且占据了非常小且明确的利基市场，因此这家中国公司在电动汽车制造专业知识方面具有优势。问题是这种优势能持续多久。福特在制造汽车方面拥有丰富的经验，可以利用全球制造基地以比任何利基电动汽车制造商所希望的更快的速度提高电动汽车产量。这使得福特不仅在美国成为特斯拉(TSLA)的有力竞争对手，而且在国外也成为蔚来的有力竞争对手。福特正在加速其电气化计划，它有资源和雄心在未来十年内成为电动汽车的领导者。福特提议在其车队电气化上投入300B美元，这将加速其转型，并使福特成为其他电动汽车制造商的长期威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Winner here: Ford.</p><p><blockquote>赢家：福特。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p><p><blockquote><b>差异化和BaaS收入模式</b></blockquote></p><p> Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来都知道差异化在一个竞争只会随着时间的推移而变得更加激烈的市场中的重要性，这就是为什么两家公司都在一个可以打破或巩固电动汽车市场主导地位的相关领域：电池技术。</blockquote></p><p> Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p><p><blockquote>福特正在与韩国电池技术公司SK Innovation组建一家合资企业，以确保牵引电池单元和阵列模块的供应。该合资企业旨在加速电池交付，每年将生产约60 GWh，足以满足福特到2030年预计年度能源需求的25%。蔚来也在投资电池技术，并成立了自己的合资企业来确保电池供应。</blockquote></p><p> The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p><p><blockquote>与福特的不同之处在于，蔚来的电池投资策略围绕电池订阅模式，也称为“电池即服务”，这为这家中国汽车制造商创造了强大的长期收入机会。在这种“BaaS”模式下，购买蔚来电动汽车的用户可以获得7万元人民币的初始折扣，相当于1.08万美元，并且可以签约包月租用可充电的70 kWh电池。然后可以在蔚来的一个电池交换站更换电池，该站遍布中国大多数大城市。电池订阅费用为每月980元人民币，相当于150美元。</blockquote></p><p> The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p><p><blockquote>BaaS模式对汽车制造商和用户都有几个好处：由于预付折扣，从蔚来购买电动汽车变得更加实惠，订阅模式确保用户受益于电池技术的进步和更好的性能随着时间的推移。将电池成本与汽车价格脱钩为蔚来创造了一个全新的订阅收入来源。“BaaS”订阅的收入可用于增加蔚来充电/更换站网络的密度。电池订阅模式还将客户与蔚来绑定在一起，有可能增加客户的终身价值。</blockquote></p><p> Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来准备从电动汽车电池成本下降中受益，因为它们增加了资本配置。随着越来越多的投资流入开发更高效的电池，性能将会提高，成本将会下降，这将推动电动汽车的采用并使所有电动汽车制造商受益。这是因为较低的电池价格使电动汽车与内燃机乘用车相比更具竞争力。但由于蔚来明确围绕电池订阅构建其商业模式的一部分，蔚来可能比福特受益更多。</blockquote></p><p> Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p><p><blockquote>根据投资公司施罗德(Schroders)提供的信息，自2014年以来，电动汽车的电池成本已下降70%，并且在本十年还将进一步下降。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：施罗德）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term.

Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p><p><blockquote>尽管福特和蔚来之间存在天壤之别，但两家公司将在快速增长的全球电动汽车市场上展开正面交锋。福特的车队尚未专注于电动汽车，但这种情况将会改变：感觉到电动汽车竞赛正在升温，福特表示正在加速其电气化计划，到2025年投资300B美元用于其电动汽车制造能力。福特之前的资本计划要求对零排放汽车投资220亿美元。福特还设定了一个雄心勃勃的销售目标：未来十年内其全球销量的40%将是电动汽车，皮卡销量的33%将是电动汽车。如今，电动汽车销量仅占福特销量的1%。随着福特逐步淘汰内燃机，它将在2040年发展成为一家全电动汽车制造商。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Market opportunity</b></p><p><blockquote><b>市场机会</b></blockquote></p><p> In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p><p><blockquote>2020年，全球电动汽车销量为320万辆，市场份额仅为4.2%。然而，2020年，中国购买了全球41%的电动汽车。中国买家去年购买了130万辆电动汽车，随着北京寻求提高电动汽车的采用率，销量将快速增长。电动汽车的第二大市场是欧洲，占全球电动汽车销量的42%。美国只是世界上插电式电动汽车的第三大市场。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：维基百科）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network.

But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p><p><blockquote>福特拥有一个世纪的制造经验。但到目前为止，福特的产品线中只有一款全电动汽车可以与蔚来相媲美：野马Mach-E SUV。2022年，福特将开始销售全电动F-150 Lightening，该车建立在福特最畅销皮卡车的成功基础上。蔚来已经拥有更强大的产品目录，包括5座ES6 SUV、5座轿跑SUV EC6以及6座和7座全尺寸SUV ES8。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p><p><blockquote>由于蔚来仅专注于生产电动汽车，并且占据了非常小且明确的利基市场，因此这家中国公司在电动汽车制造专业知识方面具有优势。问题是这种优势能持续多久。福特在制造汽车方面拥有丰富的经验，可以利用全球制造基地以比任何利基电动汽车制造商所希望的更快的速度提高电动汽车产量。这使得福特不仅在美国成为特斯拉(TSLA)的有力竞争对手，而且在国外也成为蔚来的有力竞争对手。福特正在加速其电气化计划，它有资源和雄心在未来十年内成为电动汽车的领导者。福特提议在其车队电气化上投入300B美元，这将加速其转型，并使福特成为其他电动汽车制造商的长期威胁。</blockquote></p><p> Winner here: Ford.</p><p><blockquote>赢家：福特。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p><p><blockquote><b>差异化和BaaS收入模式</b></blockquote></p><p> Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来都知道差异化在一个竞争只会随着时间的推移而变得更加激烈的市场中的重要性，这就是为什么两家公司都在一个可以打破或巩固电动汽车市场主导地位的相关领域：电池技术。</blockquote></p><p> Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p><p><blockquote>福特正在与韩国电池技术公司SK Innovation组建一家合资企业，以确保牵引电池单元和阵列模块的供应。该合资企业旨在加速电池交付，每年将生产约60 GWh，足以满足福特到2030年预计年度能源需求的25%。蔚来也在投资电池技术，并成立了自己的合资企业来确保电池供应。</blockquote></p><p> The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p><p><blockquote>与福特的不同之处在于，蔚来的电池投资策略围绕电池订阅模式，也称为“电池即服务”，这为这家中国汽车制造商创造了强大的长期收入机会。在这种“BaaS”模式下，购买蔚来电动汽车的用户可以获得7万元人民币的初始折扣，相当于1.08万美元，并且可以签约包月租用可充电的70 kWh电池。然后可以在蔚来的一个电池交换站更换电池，该站遍布中国大多数大城市。电池订阅费用为每月980元人民币，相当于150美元。</blockquote></p><p> The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p><p><blockquote>BaaS模式对汽车制造商和用户都有几个好处：由于预付折扣，从蔚来购买电动汽车变得更加实惠，订阅模式确保用户受益于电池技术的进步和更好的性能随着时间的推移。将电池成本与汽车价格脱钩为蔚来创造了一个全新的订阅收入来源。“BaaS”订阅的收入可用于增加蔚来充电/更换站网络的密度。电池订阅模式还将客户与蔚来绑定在一起，有可能增加客户的终身价值。</blockquote></p><p> Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p><p><blockquote>福特和蔚来准备从电动汽车电池成本下降中受益，因为它们增加了资本配置。随着越来越多的投资流入开发更高效的电池，性能将会提高，成本将会下降，这将推动电动汽车的采用并使所有电动汽车制造商受益。这是因为较低的电池价格使电动汽车与内燃机乘用车相比更具竞争力。但由于蔚来明确围绕电池订阅构建其商业模式的一部分，蔚来可能比福特受益更多。</blockquote></p><p> Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p><p><blockquote>根据投资公司施罗德(Schroders)提供的信息，自2014年以来，电动汽车的电池成本已下降70%，并且在本十年还将进一步下降。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：施罗德）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term.

For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.</p><p><blockquote>蔚来是风险更大的企业，但也是最有希望的企业。政府政策有利于蔚来等电动汽车制造商。蔚来的全球总销量增长潜力更大，因为与福特相比，它的收入基础较小。但也有一些事情对蔚来不利。例如，对于蔚来来说，由于生产缺陷而导致的召回将是一个比福特更大的挑战，福特可以依赖全球服务和分销网络。蔚来的估值也并非没有风险，因为生产受挫导致销售增长意外放缓将对财务状况造成更大的影响。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Final verdict</b></p><p><blockquote><b>终审判决</b></blockquote></p><p> NIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker.

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.\nFord vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up\nAlthough there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing $30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.\nMarket opportunity\nIn 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.\n(Source: Wikipedia)\nChina, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is on the cusp of entering the European market in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.\nBeijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a twenty percent share of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.\n(Source:Schroders)\nTurning to growth projections.\nWith more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.\n(Source:McKinsey)\nSince China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.\nScale and manufacturing competence\nFord has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.\nSince NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.\nWinner here: Ford.\nDifferentiation and BaaS revenue model\nBoth Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.\nFord is forming a joint venture with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has formed its own joint venture to secure battery supply.\nThe difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.\nThe BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.\nFord and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.\nBattery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.\n(Source: Schroders)\nThe “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.\nSales growth and valuation\nFord’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.\nFord's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.\nData by YCharts\nThe difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!\nDue to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.\n(Source: Author)\nNIO has larger risks...\nNIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.\nFinal verdict\nNIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.\nFord’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.\nIf you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"F":0.9,"NIO":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1542,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127096110,"gmtCreate":1624800737930,"gmtModify":1633948518726,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/127096110","repostId":"1172710941","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1494,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":109184602,"gmtCreate":1619673554706,"gmtModify":1634210812159,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up up up&nbsp;","listText":"Up up up&nbsp;","text":"Up up up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/109184602","repostId":"1132578048","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1298,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374474349,"gmtCreate":1619479618481,"gmtModify":1634273181900,"author":{"id":"3577914647547876","authorId":"3577914647547876","name":"Jieshenggoh","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577914647547876","authorIdStr":"3577914647547876"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"OK","listText":"OK","text":"OK","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/374474349","repostId":"1184991623","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184991623","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619448590,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184991623?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-26 22:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Meeting Is Saturday.

Berkshire’s only big deal in the past decade was its $33 billion purchase of Precision Castparts in 2016. The deal for the aircraft-parts maker hasn’t gone well, with the company hit by the aerospace downturn in 2020, forcing Berkshire to take a roughly $11 billion write-down. Amid an improving aerospace market, Buffett might be queried about the outlook for Precision Castparts.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特长期以来一直寻求实现他所谓的“大象”或大型收购，但事实证明这是难以实现的。伯克希尔在过去十年中唯一的一笔大交易是2016年斥资330亿美元收购Precision Castparts。这家飞机零部件制造商的交易进展并不顺利，该公司在2020年受到了航空航天低迷的打击，迫使伯克希尔哈撒韦公司进行了约110亿美元的减记。在航空航天市场不断改善的情况下，巴菲特可能会被问及精密铸件的前景。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has complained in the past that aggressive private-equity firms have made it tough for Berkshire to land big deals. Now, the acquisition environment is even tougher amid record stock prices and a big new buyer of private companies in SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition companies, that have raised about $100 billion this year alone to pursue deals.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特过去曾抱怨过，激进的私募股权公司让伯克希尔很难达成大交易。现在，在创纪录的股价和SPAC（特殊目的收购公司）私营公司的新大买家中，收购环境变得更加严峻，仅今年一年就筹集了约1000亿美元来寻求交易。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> “It’s unlikely there will be a major acquisition soon,” Shanahan says. Berkshire handicaps itself by refusing to participate in corporate auctions. Buffett prefers old-style handshake deals and tells potential sellers that Berkshire’s generally hands-off approach to its dozens of subsidiaries makes it an ideal home for their businesses.</p><p><blockquote>“短期内不太可能进行重大收购，”沙纳汉说。伯克希尔通过拒绝参与公司拍卖来阻碍自己。巴菲特更喜欢老式的握手交易，并告诉潜在卖家，伯克希尔对其数十家子公司普遍不干涉的态度使其成为他们企业的理想家园。</blockquote></p><p> Investors may ask Buffett about trends in the reinsurance business, an important part of Berkshire’s big property and casualty insurance operations. Pricing has been improving in the P&amp;C market. Investors also may query him about Berkshire’s Geico unit, which has been losing ground to its chief auto-insurance rival,Progressive(PGR) in the past year. Geico and Progressive are the two best-run auto insurers in the country and now rank second and third, respectively, behind State Farm.</p><p><blockquote>投资者可能会向巴菲特询问再保险业务的趋势，再保险业务是伯克希尔大型财产和意外险业务的重要组成部分。P&amp;C市场的定价一直在改善。投资者还可能向他询问伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的Geico部门，该部门在过去一年中一直输给其主要汽车保险竞争对手Progressive(PGR)。Geico和Progressive是美国运营最好的两家汽车保险公司，目前分别排名第二和第三，仅次于State Farm。</blockquote></p><p> In a surprise move, Berkshire decided to name one of Buffett’s top investment lieutenants, Todd Combs, as CEO of Geico at the start of 2020. Investors may want to know how long Combs plans to stay at Geico.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔出人意料地决定在2020年初任命巴菲特的高级投资副手之一托德·库姆斯(Todd Combs)担任Geico首席执行官。投资者可能想知道库姆斯计划在Geico呆多久。</blockquote></p><p> There also may be questions about the investment performance of Combs and Ted Weschler, who together run an estimated 10% of Berkshire’s $295 billion equity investment portfolio. The two are a good bet to run the entire equity portfolio in the post-Buffett era.</p><p><blockquote>库姆斯和特德·韦施勒的投资表现也可能存在疑问，他们共同管理着伯克希尔2950亿美元股权投资组合的约10%。在后巴菲特时代，这两家公司是管理整个股票投资组合的绝佳选择。</blockquote></p><p> Another topic is likely to be the railroad industry given the bidding war forKansas City Southern(KSU) by two leading Canadian railroads. Berkshire owns Burlington Northern Santa Fe, one of the big four railroads in the country.

The outspoken Munger, who didn’t participate in last year’s meeting, is popular with the Berkshire faithful. Buffett has run Berkshire for 56 years.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特希望在2022年恢复奥马哈盛宴，他将奥马哈评级为“资本家的伍德斯托克音乐节”。直言不讳的芒格没有参加去年的会议，但他很受伯克希尔忠实粉丝的欢迎。巴菲特经营伯克希尔已经56年了。</blockquote></p><p> Berkshire shareholders will likely be in a good mood with the stock on a roll this year. The class A shares hit a record Monday and are up 0.9% to $412,365 on the session. The class B stock is up 0.7% to $273.96 Monday. The class A stock is up 18% this year, comfortably ahead of the S&amp;P 500’s 12% total return, after badly lagging behind the index in both 2019 and 2020.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔股东可能会对该股今年的上涨感到高兴。A类股周一创下历史新高，盘中上涨0.9%，至412,365美元。周一，B类股票上涨0.7%，至273.96美元。该A类股在2019年和2020年严重落后于该指数后，今年上涨了18%，轻松领先于标普500 12%的总回报率。</blockquote></p><p> Berkshire’s aggressive stock repurchase program will probably be a major topic at the meeting. Investors are interested in Buffett’s current appetite for buybacks given the stock’s rally this year.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔激进的股票回购计划可能会成为会议的一个主要话题。鉴于该股今年的反弹，投资者对巴菲特目前的回购兴趣很感兴趣。</blockquote></p><p> The company ramped up its buybacks in the second half of 2020, with about $9 billion repurchased in each of the final two quarters of 2020, up from a total of nearly $7 billion in the first half of the year.</p><p><blockquote>该公司在2020年下半年加大了回购力度，2020年最后两个季度每个季度回购约90亿美元，高于上半年的近70亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Before the meeting on Saturday, Berkshire will release its first-quarter earnings, and investors will be focused on the buyback. The company’s operating profits are expected to be up 6%, to $2.55 a class B share, according to FactSet.</p><p><blockquote>在周六会议之前，伯克希尔将发布第一季度财报，投资者将关注回购事宜。FactSet的数据显示，该公司的营业利润预计将增长6%，达到每股B类股2.55美元。</blockquote></p><p> <i>Barron’s</i>has estimated that Berkshire bought back about $5 billion of stock from year-end through early March based on the share count disclosed in the recent proxy statement. Investors will look to see how much more stock Berkshire repurchased during the rest of March as the share price rose. Our guess is that Berkshire probably didn’t match the fourth-quarter total of $9 billion in the first quarter.</p><p><blockquote><i>巴伦周刊</i>根据最近的委托书中披露的股票数量，估计伯克希尔从年底到3月初回购了约50亿美元的股票。随着股价上涨，投资者将关注伯克希尔哈撒韦公司在3月份剩余时间内回购了多少股票。我们的猜测是，伯克希尔哈撒韦公司可能没有达到第一季度90亿美元的第四季度总额。</blockquote></p><p> “I’m interested to see their enthusiasm for the buyback program given the performance of the stock,” says James Shanahan, an Edward Jones analyst, referring to Buffett and Munger.</p><p><blockquote>爱德华·琼斯(Edward Jones)分析师詹姆斯·沙纳汉(James Shanahan)在谈到巴菲特和芒格时表示：“鉴于该股的表现，我有兴趣看到他们对回购计划的热情。”</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has said Berkshire will be price conscious about buybacks, but has not provided any specifics.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特曾表示，伯克希尔将对回购保持价格意识，但没有提供任何细节。</blockquote></p><p> Shanahan sees a rise in the book value to $296,000 a class A share on March 31 from $287,000 at year-end 2020. The stock now trades for about 1.4 times that March 31 estimate, up from a low of around 1.1 times book a year ago and close to the five-year average.</p><p><blockquote>沙纳汉预计A类股的账面价值将从2020年底的287,000美元升至3月31日的296,000美元。该股目前的交易价格约为3月31日预期的1.4倍，高于一年前约1.1倍的低点，接近五年平均水平。</blockquote></p><p> There could also be shareholder questions about climate change and diversity at Berkshire. The company has recommended that shareholders reject proposals about providing more disclosure about both issues.</p><p><blockquote>股东还可能对伯克希尔的气候变化和多样性提出疑问。该公司建议股东拒绝就这两个问题提供更多信息的提议。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett is likely to weigh in on the current investment landscape.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特可能会对当前的投资格局发表意见。</blockquote></p><p> He wasn’t aggressive on making new investments in 2020, as Berkshire sold a net $8 billion of stocks, including a group of airlines, and stakes inJPMorgan Chase(JPM) andGoldman Sachs Group(GS).</p><p><blockquote>他在2020年并没有积极进行新投资，伯克希尔哈撒韦净出售了80亿美元的股票，其中包括一组航空公司，以及摩根大通(JPM)和高盛集团(GS)的股份。</blockquote></p><p> This disappointed many holders who hoped Buffett would have been a big buyer of stocks during the selloff and follow his maxim to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”</p><p><blockquote>这让许多持有者感到失望，他们希望巴菲特在抛售期间成为股票的大买家，并遵循他的格言“当别人贪婪时恐惧，当别人恐惧时贪婪”。</blockquote></p><p> Berkshire did establish sizable stakes inVerizon Communications(VZ) andChevron(CVX). Buffett may be asked about those purchases and the outlook for bank stocks and the overall market, which is now trading at lofty valuation, with the S&amp;P 500 at around 23 times projected 2021 earnings.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔确实在瑞森通信公司（VZ）和雪佛龙公司（CVX）持有了大量股份。巴菲特可能会被问及这些购买以及银行股和整体市场的前景，巴菲特目前估值很高，标普500约为2021年预计市盈率的23倍。</blockquote></p><p> Berkshire has also been quiet on acquisitions with only one notable deal in 2020, a roughly $10 billion purchase ofDominion Energy’s(D) natural-gas pipeline business by Berkshire Hathaway’s big utility unit, Berkshire Hathaway Energy.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔哈撒韦公司在收购方面也一直保持沉默，2020年只有一笔值得注意的交易，即伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的大型公用事业部门伯克希尔哈撒韦能源公司以约100亿美元收购了Dominion Energy(D)的天然气管道业务。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has long sought to land what he has called an “elephant,” or a large acquisition, but that has proven elusive. Berkshire’s only big deal in the past decade was its $33 billion purchase of Precision Castparts in 2016. The deal for the aircraft-parts maker hasn’t gone well, with the company hit by the aerospace downturn in 2020, forcing Berkshire to take a roughly $11 billion write-down. Amid an improving aerospace market, Buffett might be queried about the outlook for Precision Castparts.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特长期以来一直寻求实现他所谓的“大象”或大型收购，但事实证明这是难以实现的。伯克希尔在过去十年中唯一的一笔大交易是2016年斥资330亿美元收购Precision Castparts。这家飞机零部件制造商的交易进展并不顺利，该公司在2020年受到了航空航天低迷的打击，迫使伯克希尔哈撒韦公司进行了约110亿美元的减记。在航空航天市场不断改善的情况下，巴菲特可能会被问及精密铸件的前景。</blockquote></p><p> Buffett has complained in the past that aggressive private-equity firms have made it tough for Berkshire to land big deals. Now, the acquisition environment is even tougher amid record stock prices and a big new buyer of private companies in SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition companies, that have raised about $100 billion this year alone to pursue deals.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特过去曾抱怨过，激进的私募股权公司让伯克希尔很难达成大交易。现在，在创纪录的股价和SPAC（特殊目的收购公司）私营公司的新大买家中，收购环境变得更加严峻，仅今年一年就筹集了约1000亿美元来寻求交易。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> “It’s unlikely there will be a major acquisition soon,” Shanahan says. Berkshire handicaps itself by refusing to participate in corporate auctions. Buffett prefers old-style handshake deals and tells potential sellers that Berkshire’s generally hands-off approach to its dozens of subsidiaries makes it an ideal home for their businesses.</p><p><blockquote>“短期内不太可能进行重大收购，”沙纳汉说。伯克希尔通过拒绝参与公司拍卖来阻碍自己。巴菲特更喜欢老式的握手交易，并告诉潜在卖家，伯克希尔对其数十家子公司普遍不干涉的态度使其成为他们企业的理想家园。</blockquote></p><p> Investors may ask Buffett about trends in the reinsurance business, an important part of Berkshire’s big property and casualty insurance operations. Pricing has been improving in the P&amp;C market. Investors also may query him about Berkshire’s Geico unit, which has been losing ground to its chief auto-insurance rival,Progressive(PGR) in the past year. Geico and Progressive are the two best-run auto insurers in the country and now rank second and third, respectively, behind State Farm.</p><p><blockquote>投资者可能会向巴菲特询问再保险业务的趋势，再保险业务是伯克希尔大型财产和意外险业务的重要组成部分。P&amp;C市场的定价一直在改善。投资者还可能向他询问伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的Geico部门，该部门在过去一年中一直输给其主要汽车保险竞争对手Progressive(PGR)。Geico和Progressive是美国运营最好的两家汽车保险公司，目前分别排名第二和第三，仅次于State Farm。</blockquote></p><p> In a surprise move, Berkshire decided to name one of Buffett’s top investment lieutenants, Todd Combs, as CEO of Geico at the start of 2020. Investors may want to know how long Combs plans to stay at Geico.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔出人意料地决定在2020年初任命巴菲特的高级投资副手之一托德·库姆斯(Todd Combs)担任Geico首席执行官。投资者可能想知道库姆斯计划在Geico呆多久。</blockquote></p><p> There also may be questions about the investment performance of Combs and Ted Weschler, who together run an estimated 10% of Berkshire’s $295 billion equity investment portfolio. The two are a good bet to run the entire equity portfolio in the post-Buffett era.</p><p><blockquote>库姆斯和特德·韦施勒的投资表现也可能存在疑问，他们共同管理着伯克希尔2950亿美元股权投资组合的约10%。在后巴菲特时代，这两家公司是管理整个股票投资组合的绝佳选择。</blockquote></p><p> Another topic is likely to be the railroad industry given the bidding war forKansas City Southern(KSU) by two leading Canadian railroads. Berkshire owns Burlington Northern Santa Fe, one of the big four railroads in the country. Berkshire is unlikely to get involved in the contest for Kansas City Southern.</p><p><blockquote>另一个话题可能是铁路行业，因为加拿大两家主要铁路公司对堪萨斯城南方铁路（KSU）的竞购战。伯克希尔拥有美国四大铁路之一的伯灵顿北圣达菲铁路公司。伯克希尔不太可能参与堪萨斯城南方银行的竞争。</blockquote></p><p> BNSF is probably the single most valuable division within Berkshire and would be worth close to $150 billion, in line with its public rivalUnion Pacific(UNP), if it were a stand-alone company.
