Street's main indexes fell sharply on Monday (March 7), with the Nasdaq Composite confirming it was in a bear market, as the prospect of a ban on oil imports from Russia sent crude prices soaring and fueled concerns about rising inflation.Nasdaq ended down 20.1 percent from its Nov 19 record high close, confirming the tech-heavy index has been in a bear market since hitting that record high, according to a widely used definition.That marks Nasdaq's first bear market since 2020, when the coronavirus outbreak crushed global economies.The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended down 10.8 percent from its Jan. 4 closing record high, confirming it was in a correction. A correction is confirmed when an index closes 10 percent or more below its record closing level.Oil prices jumped to their highest levels since 2008 as the United States and European allies considered banning Russian oil imports, in response to the country's invasion of Ukraine, while it looked less likely that Iranian crude would return swiftly to global markets.Russia calls the campaign a \"special operation\".Energy shares, the standout S&P 500 group so far this year, was one of the only sectors logging a gain on Monday.\"That concern on oil has led to concerns on higher inflation and potential for stagflation,\" said Mona Mahajan, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones. \"I think there is just a broader concern that there may be a hit to growth from the consumer given higher prices at the pump.\"The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 797.42 points, or 2.37 percent, to 32,817.38, the S&P 500 lost 127.79 points, or 2.95 percent, to 4,201.08 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 482.48 points, or 3.62 percent, to 12,830.96.Amazon, Microsoft and Apple were among the top individual drags on the S&P 500 while the financials sector fell 3.7 percent. The utilities sector , one of the defensive areas of the stock market, gained 1.3 percent.Ukrainian officials said a bread factory had been hit by a Russian air strike as the country's negotiators assembled for talks with Russian officials after previous rounds that brought no respite in the conflict.Steep declines in shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings were among a broad downswing in travel and leisure stocks as the jump in oil prices threatened to disrupt a nascent recovery.Stocks have struggled to start 2022 as concerns about the Russia-Ukraine crisis have deepened a sell-off initially fueled by worries over higher bond yields as the Federal Reserve is expected to tighten monetary policy this year to fight inflation.More On This TopicOil prices spike to US$139 as chance of Russian ban spurs crisis fearsUS, Europe edge towards ban on Russian oil imports\"The market was already nervous about a Fed rate hike cycle,\" said Burns McKinney, portfolio manager at NFJ Investment Group.\"Now when you layer on higher energy prices on top of that... that has the investment community increasingly concerned that we may end up quickly moving toward the late stages of the market cycle.\"Investors are waiting for a US consumer prices report on Thursday, with the Fed widely expected to hike rates later this month to combat surging inflation.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 3.62-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.74-to-1 ratio favoured decliners.The S&P 500 posted 50 new 52-week highs and 69 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 63 new highs and 546 new lows.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3266,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":632586736,"gmtCreate":1646616419601,"gmtModify":1646616419951,"author":{"id":"4087870165979230","authorId":"4087870165979230","name":"crystaly","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087870165979230","authorIdStr":"4087870165979230"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Like

Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p><blockquote>“巴菲特在信中说：”苹果--以年终市值衡量，我们的亚军巨头--是一种不同的持股方式。在这里，我们的持股比例仅为 5.55%，高于一年前的 5.39%。“这种增长听起来就像小土豆。但考虑到苹果 2021 年收益的每 0.1% 就相当于 1 亿美元。我们没有动用伯克希尔的资金来获得我们的增值。苹果的回购做到了。”</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p><blockquote>在巴菲特的投资副手 Todd Combs 和 Ted Weschler 的影响下，伯克希尔于 2016 年开始购买苹果股票。到 2018 年年中，该企业集团积累了这家 iPhone 制造商 5% 的所有权，价值 360 亿美元。如今，苹果的投资价值已超过 1600 亿美元，占伯克希尔股票投资组合的 40%。</blockquote></p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p><blockquote>“重要的是要明白，在伯克希尔公司的公认会计准则收益报告中，只有苹果的股息被计算在内--去年，苹果支付了其中的 7.85 亿美元。然而，我们在苹果公司收益中的'份额'却达到了惊人的 56 亿美元。公司保留的大部分资金都用于回购苹果股票，我们对此表示赞赏，”巴菲特说。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔是苹果除指数和交易所交易基金提供商之外的最大股东。</blockquote></p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特还称赞他的铁路业务 BNSF 和能源部门 BHE 是该集团的另外两大巨头，这两家公司在 2021 年的盈利均创下历史新高。</blockquote></p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><blockquote>“巴菲特说：”我们的第三大巨头 BNSF 仍然是美国商业的第一大动脉，这使其成为美国和伯克希尔不可或缺的资产。“BHE 已成为美国大部分地区风能、太阳能和输电领域的公用事业巨头和领先力量”。</blockquote></p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p><blockquote><b>点击此处阅读全文：</b></blockquote></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p><blockquote>致伯克希尔哈撒韦公司股东：</blockquote></p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p><blockquote>我的长期合作伙伴查理·芒格和我的工作是管理你的一部分积蓄。我们很荣幸能得到你的信任。</blockquote></p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p><blockquote>如果我们是缺席的所有者，而你是经理，我们有责任向你报告我们想知道的事情。我们很高兴通过这封年度信函以及年会与您直接沟通。</blockquote></p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p><blockquote>我们的政策是平等对待所有股东。因此，我们不与分析师或大型机构进行讨论。此外，只要有可能，我们还会在周六上午发布重要通讯，以便在周一开市前最大限度地让股东和媒体有时间吸收新闻。</blockquote></p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔公司定期向美国证券交易委员会提交的年度 10-K 报告中列出了大量伯克希尔的事实和数据。我们在K-1-K-119页复制了这一点。一些股东会发现这个细节引人入胜；其他人只是更喜欢了解查理和我认为伯克希尔的新事物或有趣的事物。</blockquote></p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><blockquote>唉，2021年几乎没有这样的行动。不过，我们在提高您股票的内在价值方面确实取得了合理的进展。57年来，这项任务一直是我的主要职责。并将继续如此。</blockquote></p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p><blockquote><b>你拥有什么</b></blockquote></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔拥有各种各样的企业，有些是全部的，有些只是部分的。第二组主要由美国主要公司的可交易普通股组成。此外，我们还拥有一些非美国股票，并参与多家合资企业或其他合作活动。</blockquote></p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p><blockquote>无论我们的所有权形式如何，我们的目标都是对具有持久经济优势和一流首席执行官的企业进行有意义的投资。请特别注意，我们持有股票是基于我们对其长期业务表现的预期，而不是因为我们将其视为及时市场走势的工具。这一点至关重要：查理和我不是选股者；我们是商业挑剔者。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><p><blockquote>我犯了很多错误。因此，我们广泛收集的企业包括一些真正具有非凡经济效益的企业，许多其他享有良好经济特征的企业，以及一些边缘企业。我们普通股部门的一个优势是——有时——很容易以优惠的价格购买优秀的企业。这种在谈判交易中打鱼的经历非常罕见，而且从未大规模发生。当一个错误是在可销售的舞台上犯下的，也更容易摆脱它。</blockquote></p><p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p><blockquote><h2><b>惊喜，惊喜</b></h2>以下是有关贵公司的一些事项，即使是经验丰富的投资者也常常感到惊讶：</blockquote></p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p><blockquote>- 许多人认为伯克希尔是一个庞大且有点奇怪的金融资产集合。事实上，伯克希尔拥有和运营的美国 “基础设施 ”资产--在我们的资产负债表上被归类为房地产、厂房和设备--比任何其他美国公司拥有和运营的都要多。至高无上从来都不是我们的目标。然而，这已经成为事实。</blockquote></p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p><blockquote>截至年底，这些国内基础设施资产在伯克希尔的资产负债表上的结转价值为 1,580 亿美元。这个数字去年有所增加，并将继续增加。伯克希尔将永远在建设。</blockquote></p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p><blockquote>- 每年，您的公司都要缴纳大量的联邦所得税。例如，在2021年，我们支付了</blockquote></p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p><blockquote>33亿美元，而美国财政部报告的企业所得税收入总额为4020亿美元。此外，伯克希尔还缴纳巨额州税和外国税。伯克希尔股东提出 “我在办公室给的 ”是一句无可辩驳的断言。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔的历史生动地说明了政府与美国企业之间无形且往往不被认可的金融伙伴关系。我们的故事始于 1955 年初，当时伯克希尔精纺公司和哈撒韦制造公司同意合并业务。在请求股东批准时，这些古老的新英格兰纺织公司对合并表达了很高的期望。</blockquote></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p><blockquote>例如，哈撒韦公司向股东保证，“资源和管理的结合将产生纺织行业最强大、最高效的组织之一”。这一乐观观点得到了该公司顾问雷曼兄弟（没错，就是雷曼兄弟）的认可。</blockquote></p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p><blockquote>我相信，当工会完成时，福尔里弗（伯克郡）和新贝德福德（哈撒韦）都是欢乐的一天。然而，在乐队停止演奏，银行家们回家后，股东们收获了一场灾难。</blockquote></p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p><blockquote>在合并后的九年里，伯克希尔的所有者眼睁睁地看着公司的净资产从</blockquote></p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p><blockquote>5140万美元至2210万美元。这种下降的部分原因是股票回购、不明智的股息和工厂关闭。但数千名员工九年的努力也带来了运营亏损。伯克希尔的挣扎并不罕见： 新英格兰纺织业已经悄然进入了一场旷日持久、不可逆转的死亡行军。</blockquote></p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p><blockquote>在合并后的九年里，美国财政部也遭受了伯克希尔的麻烦。总而言之，该公司在此期间仅向政府缴纳了 337,359 美元的所得税——每天可怜的 100 美元。</blockquote></p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p><blockquote>1965年初，情况发生了变化。伯克希尔安装了新的管理层，重新部署了可用现金，并将基本上所有收益引导到各种良好的业务中，其中大多数业务多年来一直保持良好。将收益再投资与复利的力量相结合，发挥了它的魔力，股东也因此繁荣起来。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p><blockquote>值得注意的是，伯克希尔的所有者并不是这一路线调整的唯一受益者。他们的 “沉默伙伴 ”美国财政部接着向该公司收取了数百亿美元的所得税。还记得每天100美元吗？现在，伯克希尔每天向财政部支付大约900万美元。</blockquote></p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p><blockquote>公平地说，我们的股东应该承认--实际上是大肆宣扬--伯克希尔的繁荣之所以能得到极大的促进，是因为该公司在美国开展业务。如果没有伯克希尔，我们的国家在1965年以来的几年里会做得很好。然而，如果没有我们的美国大本营，伯克希尔永远不会成为今天的样子。当你看到旗帜时，说谢谢。</blockquote></p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p><blockquote>- 自 1967 年斥资 860 万美元购买国家赔偿以来，伯克希尔已成为保险 “浮动 ”领域的全球领导者--我们持有并可以投资但不属于我们的资金。包括来自人寿保险的相对较少的资金在内，伯克希尔的总流通股已从我们进入保险业务时的 1900 万美元增长到 1470 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p><blockquote>到目前为止，这个花车花了我们很少的钱。尽管我们经历了几年保险损失加上运营费用超过保费的情况，但总体而言，我们从产生流通量的承保活动中赚取了 55 年的适度利润。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p><blockquote>同样重要的是，浮动非常粘。我们保险业务的资金每天来来去去，但其总额不会急剧下降。因此，当谈到投资流通股时，我们可以考虑长远。</blockquote></p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p><blockquote>如果您还不熟悉浮动的概念，我向您推荐A-5页上的详细解释。令我惊讶的是，去年我们的流通股增加了 90 亿美元，这一价值的增加对伯克希尔公司的所有者来说非常重要，但并没有反映在我们的 GAAP（“公认会计准则”）收益和净资产列报中。</blockquote></p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p><blockquote>我们在保险业创造的巨大价值很大程度上要归功于伯克希尔在 1986 年聘请阿吉特-贾恩（Ajit Jain）时的好运。我们第一次见面是在一个周六的早晨，我很快问阿吉特他的保险经历如何。他回答说：“没有。”</blockquote></p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p><blockquote>我说 “人无完人”，然后雇佣了他。那是我的幸运日：阿吉特实际上是一个完美的选择。更好的是，35年后，他仍然如此。</blockquote></p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p><blockquote>关于保险的最后一点想法： 我相信，伯克希尔的流通量很有可能--但还远未得到保证--能够维持，而我们不会遭受长期承保损失。然而，我确信，在某些年份，我们会经历这样的损失，也许涉及非常大的金额。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔在处理灾难性事件方面是其他保险公司无法比拟的——在查理和我离开后很长一段时间内，这一优先事项仍将存在。</blockquote></p><p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p><blockquote><h2>我们的四大巨头</h2>通过伯克希尔，我们的股东拥有数十家企业。其中一些反过来又有自己的子公司集合。例如，Marmon 拥有 100 多项独立业务，从火车车厢租赁到医疗设备制造。</blockquote></p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p><blockquote>- 尽管如此，我们的 “四大 ”公司的运营还是占伯克希尔公司价值的很大一部分。位居榜首的是我们的保险公司集群。伯克希尔实际上拥有该集团 100% 的股份，我们前面描述了其巨大的流通股价值。我们为支持这些保险公司的承诺而投入的巨额资金进一步扩大了这些保险公司的投资资产。</blockquote></p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p><blockquote>保险业务是为伯克希尔定制的。产品永远不会过时，销量通常会随着经济增长和通货膨胀而增加。此外，诚信和资本将永远很重要。我们公司能够而且将会表现良好。</blockquote></p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p><blockquote>当然，还有其他保险公司拥有出色的商业模式和前景。然而，复制伯克希尔的业务几乎是不可能的。</blockquote></p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p><blockquote>- 苹果--按年终市值衡量，我们的亚军巨头--是一种不同类型的控股。在这里，我们的所有权仅为 5.55%，高于一年前的 5.39%。这个增长听起来像小土豆。但考虑到苹果 2021 年收益的每 0.1% 就相当于 1 亿美元。我们没有花费伯克希尔基金来获得我们的增值。苹果的回购起到了作用。</blockquote></p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p><blockquote>重要的是要明白，伯克希尔的 GAAP 收益报告中只计算了苹果的股息--去年，苹果支付了其中的 7.85 亿美元。然而，我们在苹果收益中的 “份额 ”却达到了惊人的 56 亿美元。该公司保留的大部分资金用于回购苹果股票，我们对此表示赞赏。苹果出色的首席执行官蒂姆-库克（Tim Cook）非常正确地将苹果产品的用户视为自己的初恋，但他的所有其他支持者也都受益于蒂姆的管理风格。</blockquote></p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p><blockquote>- 我们的第三大巨头 BNSF 仍然是美国商业的第一大动脉，这使其成为美国和伯克希尔不可或缺的资产。如果 BNSF 运输的许多必需品改用卡车运输，美国的碳排放量将会飙升。</blockquote></p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen.

That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p><blockquote>- 我们的最后一家巨头 BHE 在 2021 年创下了 40 亿美元的收入。这比伯克希尔在 2000 年（伯克希尔首次购买 BHE 股份的那一年）获得的 1.22 亿美元增长了 30 多倍。现在，伯克希尔拥有该公司91.1%的股份。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p><blockquote>BHE 的社会成就记录与其财务业绩一样引人注目。2000年，该公司没有风能或太阳能发电。当时，它被简单地视为庞大的电力公用事业行业中一个相对较新且次要的参与者。随后，在大卫-索科尔（David Sokol）和格雷格-阿贝尔（Greg Abel）的领导下，BHE 已成为一家公用事业巨头（请不要抱怨），并成为美国大部分地区风能、太阳能和输电领域的主导力量。</blockquote></p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p><blockquote>格雷格关于这些成就的报告刊登在 A-3 和 A-4 页。您将在那里找到的个人资料绝不是目前流行的 “洗绿 ”故事之一。自2007年以来，BHE每年都忠实地详细介绍其在可再生能源和输电方面的计划和绩效。</blockquote></p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><p><blockquote>如需进一步查看此信息，请访问 BHE 网站 brkenergy.com。在那里，你会看到该公司长期以来一直在采取具有气候意识的举措，吸收了其所有收益。更多的机会就在前方。BHE拥有我国所需的大型电力项目的管理、经验、资金和胃口。</blockquote></p><p><h2>Investments</h2>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><blockquote><h2>投资</h2>现在让我们来谈谈我们无法控制的公司，这份名单再次提到了苹果。下面我们列出了我们持有的 15 只最大的股票，其中几只是伯克希尔的两位长期投资经理托德-库姆斯（Todd Combs）和泰德-韦施勒（Ted Weschler）的精选股票。年底时，这对估值对拥有 340 亿美元投资的总权限，其中许多投资不符合我们在表格中使用的阈值。此外，托德和泰德管理的很大一部分资金存放在伯克希尔旗下企业的各种养老金计划中，这些计划的资产不包括在本表中。</blockquote></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p><blockquote>*这是我们的实际购买价格，也是我们的税基。</blockquote></p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p><blockquote>**由BHE持有；因此，伯克希尔股东仅持有该职位 91.1% 的权益。</blockquote></p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p><blockquote>*** 包括对西方石油公司 100 亿美元的投资，包括优先股和购买普通股的认股权证，目前这一组合的价值为 107 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p><blockquote>除了脚注中的西方石油控股公司（Occidental holding）和我们的各种普通股头寸外，伯克希尔还拥有卡夫亨氏 26.6% 的权益（按 “权益 ”法而非市值入账，账面价值 131 亿美元）和 Pilot Corp. 38.6% 的权益，Pilot Corp.</blockquote></p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><p><blockquote>自我们于 2017 年购买试点股份以来，该持股已获得 “权益 ”会计处理。2023 年初，伯克希尔将购买 Pilot 的额外权益，这将使我们的所有权提高到 80%，并使我们在财务报表中全面合并 Pilot 的收益、资产和负债。</blockquote></p><p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p><blockquote><h2>美国国库券</h2>伯克希尔的资产负债表包括 1440 亿美元的现金和现金等价物（不包括持有的 BNSF 和 BHE）。其中，1200亿美元持有美国国库券，全部到期时间不到一年。这笔股份使伯克希尔哈撒韦公司能够为大约 1% 的公开持有国债提供融资。</blockquote></p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><p><blockquote>查理和我承诺，伯克希尔（以及我们除 BNSF 和 BHE 以外的子公司）将始终持有超过 300 亿美元的现金和等价物。我们希望你的公司在经济上坚不可摧，永远不要依赖陌生人（甚至朋友）的善意。我们都喜欢睡个好觉，我们希望我们的债权人、保险索赔人和你也能这样做。</blockquote></p><p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p><blockquote><h2>但是1440亿美元？</h2>我向你保证，这笔巨款并不是爱国主义的疯狂表达。查理和我也没有失去对企业所有权的压倒性偏好。事实上，我第一次表现出对此的热情是在 80 年前的 1942 年 3 月 11 日，当时我购买了三股城市服务优先股。他们的费用是114.75美元，需要我所有的积蓄。（道琼斯工业平均指数当天收于99点，这一事实应该让你尖叫：永远不要押注美国。）</blockquote></p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p><blockquote>在我最初的暴跌之后，我总是将至少80%的净资产保留在股票上。在那段时间里，我的支持率是100%，现在仍然是。伯克希尔目前在企业中占据80%左右的份额，是因为我找不到符合我们长期持股标准的整个公司或其中一小部分公司（即有价证券）。</blockquote></p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><p><blockquote>查理和我过去也不时经历过类似的现金密集型头寸。这些时期从来都不是愉快的；它们也从来都不是永久的。幸运的是，我们在2020年和2021年有一个略有吸引力的替代方案来部署资本。继续读下去。</blockquote></p><p></p><p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p><blockquote><h2>股份购回</h2>我们可以通过三种方式增加您的投资价值。第一个始终是我们最关心的问题： 通过内部增长或收购来提高伯克希尔控股企业的长期盈利能力。如今，内部机会比收购带来的回报要好得多。然而，与伯克希尔的资源相比，这些机会的规模很小。</blockquote></p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p><blockquote>我们的第二个选择是购买许多公开交易的优秀或伟大企业的非控股权。有时，这样的可能性既众多又极具吸引力。然而今天，我们很少发现让我们兴奋的事情。</blockquote></p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p><blockquote>这在很大程度上是因为一个不言而喻的事实：长期低利率会推高所有生产性投资的价格，无论是股票、公寓、农场、油井还是其他投资。其他因素也会影响估值，但利率始终很重要。</blockquote></p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p><blockquote>我们创造价值的最终途径是回购伯克希尔股票。通过这一简单的行为，我们增加了您在伯克希尔拥有的许多受控和非受控企业中的份额。当价格/价值方程正确时，这条路径是我们增加您财富的最简单、最确定的方法。（除了继续股东的价值增加外，其他几个方面也受益：回购对回购股票的卖方和社会都有适度的好处。）</blockquote></p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p><blockquote>有时，随着其他途径变得没有吸引力，回购对伯克希尔的所有者来说也很有意义。因此，在过去两年中，我们回购了截至2019年底9%的流通股，总成本为517亿美元。这笔支出使得我们的持续股东拥有伯克希尔所有业务中约 10% 的股份，无论是全资（如 BNSF 和 GEICO）还是部分全资（如可口可乐和穆迪）。</blockquote></p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p><blockquote>我想强调的是，伯克希尔的回购要想有意义，我们的股票必须提供适当的价值。我们不想为其他公司的股票支付过高的价格，如果我们在收购伯克希尔时支付过高的价格，那将是对价值的破坏。截至2022年2月23日，自年底以来，我们以12亿美元的成本回购了额外的股票。我们的胃口仍然很大，但将永远取决于价格。</blockquote></p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>需要注意的是，由于伯克希尔的投资者基础较高，其回购机会有限。如果我们的股票被短期投机者大量持有，价格波动和交易量都会大幅增加。这种重塑将为我们提供更多通过回购创造价值的机会。尽管如此，查理和我还是更喜欢我们现有的所有者，尽管他们令人钦佩的买入并保留态度限制了长期股东从机会主义回购中获利的程度。</blockquote></p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>最后，伯克希尔特有的一个容易被忽视的价值计算： 正如我们所讨论的，正确的保险 “浮动 ”对我们来说非常有价值。事实上，回购会自动增加每股 “流通量 ”的数量。在过去两年中，这一数字增长了 25%，从每股 A 股 79,387 美元增加到 99,497 美元，这是一个有意义的增长，如前所述，部分原因是回购。</blockquote></p><p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p><blockquote><h2>一个了不起的人和一个了不起的企业</h2>去年，保罗·安德鲁斯去世了。保罗是伯克希尔位于沃思堡的子公司TTI的创始人兼首席执行官。在他的一生中——无论是在他的事业中还是在他的个人追求中——保罗悄悄地展示了查理和我钦佩的所有品质。他的故事应该被讲述。</blockquote></p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p><blockquote>1971年，保罗在通用动力公司担任采购代理时，屋顶倒塌了。在失去一份巨额国防合同后，该公司解雇了数千名员工，其中包括保罗。</blockquote></p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p><blockquote>由于他的第一个孩子即将出生，保罗决定把赌注押在自己身上，用他的500美元积蓄创办了德克萨斯电子公司（后来更名为TTI）。该公司致力于分销小型电子元件，第一年的销售额总计 112,000 美元。如今，TTI 销售超过 100 万种不同的商品，年销售额达 77 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p><blockquote>但回到2006年：63岁的保罗发现自己与家庭、工作和同事相处得很开心。但他有一个挥之不去的担忧，因为他最近目睹了一位朋友的英年早逝，以及随之而来的给这位朋友的家庭和生意带来的灾难性后果。保罗在2006年问自己，如果他意外去世，许多依赖他的人会怎么样？</blockquote></p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p><blockquote>一年来，保罗一直在纠结自己的选择。卖给竞争对手？从严格的经济角度来看，这个过程是最有意义的。毕竟，竞争对手可以设想利润丰厚的 “协同效应”--当收购方削减 TTI 的重复职能时，就能实现节省。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p><blockquote>但是 . .这样的买家肯定还会保留其首席财务官、法律顾问和人力资源部门。因此，他们的TTI同类产品将被打包发送。还有啊!如果需要一个新的配送中心，收购方的家乡城市肯定会比沃斯堡更受欢迎。</blockquote></p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p><blockquote>不管经济利益如何，保罗很快得出结论，卖给竞争对手不适合他。他接下来考虑寻找一个金融买家，一个曾经被贴上杠杆收购公司标签的物种。然而，保罗知道，这样的买家会专注于 “退出策略”。谁知道会是什么呢？沉思了这一切，保罗发现自己没有兴趣把他35岁的作品交给经销商。</blockquote></p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p><blockquote>当保罗见到我时，他解释了为什么他作为买家排除了这两个选择。然后，他用比这更委婉的措辞总结了自己的困境：“经过一年的思考，我想卖给伯克希尔，因为你是唯一剩下的人了”。于是，我提出了一个提议，保罗答应了。一次会议；一份午餐；一笔交易。</blockquote></p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p><blockquote>说我们从此过上了幸福的生活是一种轻描淡写的说法。伯克希尔收购 TTI 时，该公司拥有 2,387 名员工。现在这个数字是8043。很大一部分增长发生在沃思堡及其周边地区。盈利增长了673%。</blockquote></p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p><blockquote>每年，我都会去找看涨期权·保罗，告诉他他的工资应该大幅提高。每年，他都会告诉我：“我们可以明年再谈，沃伦；我现在太忙了。”</blockquote></p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p><blockquote>格雷格-阿贝尔（Greg Abel）和我参加保罗的追悼会时，我们见到了孩子们、孙子们、老同事（包括 TTI 的第一位员工）以及伯克希尔于 2000 年收购的沃思堡一家公司的前首席执行官约翰-罗奇（John Roach）。约翰带着他的朋友保罗去了奥马哈，本能地知道我们会是一对。</blockquote></p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p><blockquote>在仪式上，格雷格和我听说了保罗默默支持的许多人和组织。他慷慨的广度是非凡的——总是致力于改善他人的生活，尤其是沃思堡的人。</blockquote></p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p><blockquote>在各方面，保罗都是一流的演员。</blockquote></p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p><blockquote>**</blockquote></p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p><blockquote>好运——偶尔是非凡的运气——在伯克希尔发挥了作用。如果保罗和我没有一个共同的朋友——约翰·罗奇——TTI就不会在我们这里找到自己的家。但大量的运气仅仅是开始。TTI 很快就带领伯克希尔进行了最重要的收购。</blockquote></p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p><blockquote>每年秋天，伯克希尔的董事们都会聚集在一起，听我们的几位高管做演讲。我们有时会根据最近收购的地点来选择地点，这样董事们就可以与新子公司的首席执行官会面，并更多地了解被收购方的活动。</blockquote></p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p><blockquote>2009年秋天，我们选择了沃思堡，这样我们就可以参观TTI。当时，同样以沃思堡为家乡的BNSF是我们有价证券中的第三大持股。尽管赌注很大，但我从未去过铁路总部。</blockquote></p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p><blockquote>我的助手黛布-博萨内克（Deb Bosanek）将我们董事会的开幕晚宴安排在 10 月 22 日。与此同时，我安排当天早些时候到达，会见BNSF的首席执行官马特·罗斯，我长期以来一直钦佩他的成就。当我确定这个日期时，我并不知道我们的聚会会与 BNSF 于 22 日晚些时候发布的第三季度财报相吻合。</blockquote></p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p><blockquote>市场对铁路公司的业绩反应强烈。大衰退在第三季度全面展开，BNSF 的盈利也反映了这种衰退。经济前景也很黯淡，华尔街对铁路或其他任何事情都不友好。</blockquote></p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p><blockquote>第二天，我再次与马特见面，并建议伯克希尔为铁路公司提供一个比它作为一家上市公司所能期望的更好的长期家园。我还告诉了他伯克希尔愿意支付的最高价格。</blockquote></p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p><blockquote>马特把这个提议转达给了他的董事和顾问。忙碌的11天后，伯克希尔和BNSF宣布了一项确定的交易。在这里，我将做出一个罕见的预测： 一个世纪后，BNSF 将成为伯克希尔和我们国家的重要资产。</blockquote></p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><p><blockquote>如果不是保罗-安德鲁斯（Paul Andrews）认为伯克希尔是 TTI 的合适所在地，BNSF 的收购就不会发生。</blockquote></p><p><h2>Thanks</h2>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p><blockquote><h2>谢谢</h2>70年前，我教了我的第一堂投资课。从那时起，我几乎每年都喜欢与各个年龄段的学生一起工作，终于在 2018 年 “退休 ”了。</blockquote></p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p><blockquote>一路上，我最难缠的听众是我孙子五年级的班级。11岁的孩子们在座位上蠕动着，茫然地盯着我，直到我提到可口可乐及其著名的秘方。立刻，每个人都举起了手，我才知道《秘密》对孩子们来说就是猫薄荷。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p><blockquote>教学和写作一样，帮助我发展和澄清了自己的思想。查理·评级这种现象猩猩效应：如果你和一只猩猩坐下来，仔细地向它解释你珍视的一个想法，你可能会留下一只困惑的灵长类动物，但你自己会更清楚地思考出来吗？</blockquote></p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p><blockquote>与大学生交谈要优越得多。我敦促他们在（1）这个领域找工作，（2）如果他们不需要钱，他们会选择的那种人。我承认，经济现实可能会干扰这种搜索。即便如此，我还是敦促学生们永远不要放弃追求，因为当他们找到那种工作时，他们就不再是 “工作”了。</blockquote></p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p><blockquote>在经历了一些早期的挫折后，查理和我遵循了解放的道路。我们都是从我祖父的杂货店开始的，查理是1940年，我是1942年。我们每个人都被分配了无聊的任务，而且报酬很少，绝对不是我们想要的。查理后来从事法律工作，我尝试销售证券。我们仍然无法获得工作满意度。</blockquote></p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p><blockquote>最后，在伯克希尔，我们找到了我们喜欢做的事情。除了极少数例外，我们现在已经和我们喜欢和信任的人一起“工作”了几十年。能加入保罗-安德鲁斯（Paul Andrews）或我去年告诉过你的伯克希尔家族这样的经理人，是人生中的一件乐事。在我们的家庭办公室，我们雇佣正派有才华的人——没有混蛋。平均每年可能有一个人。</blockquote></p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p><blockquote>然而，我想强调另一个项目，它将我们的工作变成工作的乐趣和满足感</blockquote></p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p><blockquote>为了你。对查理和我来说，没有什么比享受个人长期股东的信任更有意义的了，几十年来，他们一直希望我们能成为他们资金的可靠托管人。</blockquote></p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p><blockquote>显然，我们不能像合伙企业那样选择所有者。任何人今天都可以购买伯克希尔的股票，并打算很快转售。当然，我们会有一些这样的股东，就像我们会有指数基金持有大量伯克希尔股票一样，因为他们被要求这样做。</blockquote></p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p><blockquote>然而，伯克希尔公司拥有一大批个人和家庭，他们选择加入我们，其意图接近 “至死不渝 ”。通常，他们把他们积蓄的一大部分——有些人可能会说是过多的——托付给我们。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p><blockquote>这些股东有时会承认，伯克希尔可能远不是他们所能做出的最佳选择。但他们会补充说，伯克希尔在他们最满意的公司中排名靠前。平均而言，对自己的投资感到满意的人会比那些被不断变化的头条新闻、闲聊和承诺所激励的人取得更好的结果。</blockquote></p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><p><blockquote>长期的个人所有者既是我和查理一直在寻找的 “合作伙伴”，也是我们在伯克希尔做决策时不断想到的合作伙伴。我们对他们说：“为你们‘工作’的感觉真好，我们感谢你们的信任”。</blockquote></p><p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2>Clear your calendar!

Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p><blockquote>“巴菲特在信中说：”苹果--以年终市值衡量，我们的亚军巨头--是一种不同的持股方式。在这里，我们的持股比例仅为 5.55%，高于一年前的 5.39%。“这种增长听起来就像小土豆。但考虑到苹果 2021 年收益的每 0.1% 就相当于 1 亿美元。我们没有动用伯克希尔的资金来获得我们的增值。苹果的回购做到了。”</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p><blockquote>在巴菲特的投资副手 Todd Combs 和 Ted Weschler 的影响下，伯克希尔于 2016 年开始购买苹果股票。到 2018 年年中，该企业集团积累了这家 iPhone 制造商 5% 的所有权，价值 360 亿美元。如今，苹果的投资价值已超过 1600 亿美元，占伯克希尔股票投资组合的 40%。</blockquote></p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p><blockquote>“重要的是要明白，在伯克希尔公司的公认会计准则收益报告中，只有苹果的股息被计算在内--去年，苹果支付了其中的 7.85 亿美元。然而，我们在苹果公司收益中的'份额'却达到了惊人的 56 亿美元。公司保留的大部分资金都用于回购苹果股票，我们对此表示赞赏，”巴菲特说。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔是苹果除指数和交易所交易基金提供商之外的最大股东。</blockquote></p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p><blockquote>巴菲特还称赞他的铁路业务 BNSF 和能源部门 BHE 是该集团的另外两大巨头，这两家公司在 2021 年的盈利均创下历史新高。</blockquote></p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><blockquote>“巴菲特说：”我们的第三大巨头 BNSF 仍然是美国商业的第一大动脉，这使其成为美国和伯克希尔不可或缺的资产。“BHE 已成为美国大部分地区风能、太阳能和输电领域的公用事业巨头和领先力量”。</blockquote></p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p><blockquote><b>点击此处阅读全文：</b></blockquote></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p><blockquote>致伯克希尔哈撒韦公司股东：</blockquote></p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings.

We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p><blockquote>如果我们是缺席的所有者，而你是经理，我们有责任向你报告我们想知道的事情。我们很高兴通过这封年度信函以及年会与您直接沟通。</blockquote></p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p><blockquote>我们的政策是平等对待所有股东。因此，我们不与分析师或大型机构进行讨论。此外，只要有可能，我们还会在周六上午发布重要通讯，以便在周一开市前最大限度地让股东和媒体有时间吸收新闻。</blockquote></p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119.

We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><blockquote>唉，2021年几乎没有这样的行动。不过，我们在提高您股票的内在价值方面确实取得了合理的进展。57年来，这项任务一直是我的主要职责。并将继续如此。</blockquote></p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p><blockquote><b>你拥有什么</b></blockquote></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔拥有各种各样的企业，有些是全部的，有些只是部分的。第二组主要由美国主要公司的可交易普通股组成。此外，我们还拥有一些非美国股票，并参与多家合资企业或其他合作活动。</blockquote></p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p><blockquote>无论我们的所有权形式如何，我们的目标都是对具有持久经济优势和一流首席执行官的企业进行有意义的投资。请特别注意，我们持有股票是基于我们对其长期业务表现的预期，而不是因为我们将其视为及时市场走势的工具。这一点至关重要：查理和我不是选股者；我们是商业挑剔者。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><p><blockquote>我犯了很多错误。因此，我们广泛收集的企业包括一些真正具有非凡经济效益的企业，许多其他享有良好经济特征的企业，以及一些边缘企业。我们普通股部门的一个优势是——有时——很容易以优惠的价格购买优秀的企业。这种在谈判交易中打鱼的经历非常罕见，而且从未大规模发生。当一个错误是在可销售的舞台上犯下的，也更容易摆脱它。</blockquote></p><p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p><blockquote><h2><b>惊喜，惊喜</b></h2>以下是有关贵公司的一些事项，即使是经验丰富的投资者也常常感到惊讶：</blockquote></p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p><blockquote>- 许多人认为伯克希尔是一个庞大且有点奇怪的金融资产集合。事实上，伯克希尔拥有和运营的美国 “基础设施 ”资产--在我们的资产负债表上被归类为房地产、厂房和设备--比任何其他美国公司拥有和运营的都要多。至高无上从来都不是我们的目标。然而，这已经成为事实。</blockquote></p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p><blockquote>截至年底，这些国内基础设施资产在伯克希尔的资产负债表上的结转价值为 1,580 亿美元。这个数字去年有所增加，并将继续增加。伯克希尔将永远在建设。</blockquote></p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p><blockquote>- 每年，您的公司都要缴纳大量的联邦所得税。例如，在2021年，我们支付了</blockquote></p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p><blockquote>33亿美元，而美国财政部报告的企业所得税收入总额为4020亿美元。此外，伯克希尔还缴纳巨额州税和外国税。伯克希尔股东提出 “我在办公室给的 ”是一句无可辩驳的断言。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔的历史生动地说明了政府与美国企业之间无形且往往不被认可的金融伙伴关系。我们的故事始于 1955 年初，当时伯克希尔精纺公司和哈撒韦制造公司同意合并业务。在请求股东批准时，这些古老的新英格兰纺织公司对合并表达了很高的期望。</blockquote></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p><blockquote>例如，哈撒韦公司向股东保证，“资源和管理的结合将产生纺织行业最强大、最高效的组织之一”。这一乐观观点得到了该公司顾问雷曼兄弟（没错，就是雷曼兄弟）的认可。</blockquote></p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p><blockquote>我相信，当工会完成时，福尔里弗（伯克郡）和新贝德福德（哈撒韦）都是欢乐的一天。然而，在乐队停止演奏，银行家们回家后，股东们收获了一场灾难。</blockquote></p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p><blockquote>在合并后的九年里，伯克希尔的所有者眼睁睁地看着公司的净资产从</blockquote></p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p><blockquote>5140万美元至2210万美元。这种下降的部分原因是股票回购、不明智的股息和工厂关闭。但数千名员工九年的努力也带来了运营亏损。伯克希尔的挣扎并不罕见： 新英格兰纺织业已经悄然进入了一场旷日持久、不可逆转的死亡行军。</blockquote></p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p><blockquote>在合并后的九年里，美国财政部也遭受了伯克希尔的麻烦。总而言之，该公司在此期间仅向政府缴纳了 337,359 美元的所得税——每天可怜的 100 美元。</blockquote></p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p><blockquote>1965年初，情况发生了变化。伯克希尔安装了新的管理层，重新部署了可用现金，并将基本上所有收益引导到各种良好的业务中，其中大多数业务多年来一直保持良好。将收益再投资与复利的力量相结合，发挥了它的魔力，股东也因此繁荣起来。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p><blockquote>值得注意的是，伯克希尔的所有者并不是这一路线调整的唯一受益者。他们的 “沉默伙伴 ”美国财政部接着向该公司收取了数百亿美元的所得税。还记得每天100美元吗？现在，伯克希尔每天向财政部支付大约900万美元。</blockquote></p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p><blockquote>公平地说，我们的股东应该承认--实际上是大肆宣扬--伯克希尔的繁荣之所以能得到极大的促进，是因为该公司在美国开展业务。如果没有伯克希尔，我们的国家在1965年以来的几年里会做得很好。然而，如果没有我们的美国大本营，伯克希尔永远不会成为今天的样子。当你看到旗帜时，说谢谢。</blockquote></p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p><blockquote>- 自 1967 年斥资 860 万美元购买国家赔偿以来，伯克希尔已成为保险 “浮动 ”领域的全球领导者--我们持有并可以投资但不属于我们的资金。包括来自人寿保险的相对较少的资金在内，伯克希尔的总流通股已从我们进入保险业务时的 1900 万美元增长到 1470 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p><blockquote>到目前为止，这个花车花了我们很少的钱。尽管我们经历了几年保险损失加上运营费用超过保费的情况，但总体而言，我们从产生流通量的承保活动中赚取了 55 年的适度利润。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p><blockquote>同样重要的是，浮动非常粘。我们保险业务的资金每天来来去去，但其总额不会急剧下降。因此，当谈到投资流通股时，我们可以考虑长远。</blockquote></p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p><blockquote>如果您还不熟悉浮动的概念，我向您推荐A-5页上的详细解释。令我惊讶的是，去年我们的流通股增加了 90 亿美元，这一价值的增加对伯克希尔公司的所有者来说非常重要，但并没有反映在我们的 GAAP（“公认会计准则”）收益和净资产列报中。</blockquote></p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p><blockquote>我们在保险业创造的巨大价值很大程度上要归功于伯克希尔在 1986 年聘请阿吉特-贾恩（Ajit Jain）时的好运。我们第一次见面是在一个周六的早晨，我很快问阿吉特他的保险经历如何。他回答说：“没有。”</blockquote></p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p><blockquote>我说 “人无完人”，然后雇佣了他。那是我的幸运日：阿吉特实际上是一个完美的选择。更好的是，35年后，他仍然如此。</blockquote></p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p><blockquote>关于保险的最后一点想法： 我相信，伯克希尔的流通量很有可能--但还远未得到保证--能够维持，而我们不会遭受长期承保损失。然而，我确信，在某些年份，我们会经历这样的损失，也许涉及非常大的金额。</blockquote></p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><p><blockquote>伯克希尔在处理灾难性事件方面是其他保险公司无法比拟的——在查理和我离开后很长一段时间内，这一优先事项仍将存在。</blockquote></p><p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p><blockquote><h2>我们的四大巨头</h2>通过伯克希尔，我们的股东拥有数十家企业。其中一些反过来又有自己的子公司集合。例如，Marmon 拥有 100 多项独立业务，从火车车厢租赁到医疗设备制造。</blockquote></p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p><blockquote>- 尽管如此，我们的 “四大 ”公司的运营还是占伯克希尔公司价值的很大一部分。位居榜首的是我们的保险公司集群。伯克希尔实际上拥有该集团 100% 的股份，我们前面描述了其巨大的流通股价值。我们为支持这些保险公司的承诺而投入的巨额资金进一步扩大了这些保险公司的投资资产。</blockquote></p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p><blockquote>保险业务是为伯克希尔定制的。产品永远不会过时，销量通常会随着经济增长和通货膨胀而增加。此外，诚信和资本将永远很重要。我们公司能够而且将会表现良好。</blockquote></p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p><blockquote>当然，还有其他保险公司拥有出色的商业模式和前景。然而，复制伯克希尔的业务几乎是不可能的。</blockquote></p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p><blockquote>- 苹果--按年终市值衡量，我们的亚军巨头--是一种不同类型的控股。在这里，我们的所有权仅为 5.55%，高于一年前的 5.39%。这个增长听起来像小土豆。但考虑到苹果 2021 年收益的每 0.1% 就相当于 1 亿美元。我们没有花费伯克希尔基金来获得我们的增值。苹果的回购起到了作用。</blockquote></p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p><blockquote>重要的是要明白，伯克希尔的 GAAP 收益报告中只计算了苹果的股息--去年，苹果支付了其中的 7.85 亿美元。然而，我们在苹果收益中的 “份额 ”却达到了惊人的 56 亿美元。该公司保留的大部分资金用于回购苹果股票，我们对此表示赞赏。苹果出色的首席执行官蒂姆-库克（Tim Cook）非常正确地将苹果产品的用户视为自己的初恋，但他的所有其他支持者也都受益于蒂姆的管理风格。</blockquote></p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p><blockquote>- 我们的第三大巨头 BNSF 仍然是美国商业的第一大动脉，这使其成为美国和伯克希尔不可或缺的资产。如果 BNSF 运输的许多必需品改用卡车运输，美国的碳排放量将会飙升。</blockquote></p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p><blockquote>你们的铁路在2021年的收入达到了创纪录的60亿美元。这里，应该指出的是，我们谈论的是我们所青睐的老式收益：在利息、税收、折旧、摊销和所有形式的补偿之后计算的数字。（我们的定义暗示了一个警告：随着股市上涨，欺骗性的盈利“调整”——用一个礼貌的描述——变得越来越频繁，也越来越离谱。说得不那么礼貌一点，我想说牛市滋生了虚张声势的牛市）</blockquote></p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p><blockquote>BNSF列车去年行驶了1.43亿英里，运载了5.35亿吨货物。这两项成就都远远超过了任何其他美国航空公司。你可以为你的铁路感到骄傲。</blockquote></p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p><blockquote>- 我们的最后一家巨头 BHE 在 2021 年创下了 40 亿美元的收入。这比伯克希尔在 2000 年（伯克希尔首次购买 BHE 股份的那一年）获得的 1.22 亿美元增长了 30 多倍。现在，伯克希尔拥有该公司91.1%的股份。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p><blockquote>BHE 的社会成就记录与其财务业绩一样引人注目。2000年，该公司没有风能或太阳能发电。当时，它被简单地视为庞大的电力公用事业行业中一个相对较新且次要的参与者。随后，在大卫-索科尔（David Sokol）和格雷格-阿贝尔（Greg Abel）的领导下，BHE 已成为一家公用事业巨头（请不要抱怨），并成为美国大部分地区风能、太阳能和输电领域的主导力量。</blockquote></p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p><blockquote>格雷格关于这些成就的报告刊登在 A-3 和 A-4 页。您将在那里找到的个人资料绝不是目前流行的 “洗绿 ”故事之一。自2007年以来，BHE每年都忠实地详细介绍其在可再生能源和输电方面的计划和绩效。</blockquote></p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><p><blockquote>如需进一步查看此信息，请访问 BHE 网站 brkenergy.com。在那里，你会看到该公司长期以来一直在采取具有气候意识的举措，吸收了其所有收益。更多的机会就在前方。BHE拥有我国所需的大型电力项目的管理、经验、资金和胃口。</blockquote></p><p><h2>Investments</h2>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><blockquote><h2>投资</h2>现在让我们来谈谈我们无法控制的公司，这份名单再次提到了苹果。下面我们列出了我们持有的 15 只最大的股票，其中几只是伯克希尔的两位长期投资经理托德-库姆斯（Todd Combs）和泰德-韦施勒（Ted Weschler）的精选股票。年底时，这对估值对拥有 340 亿美元投资的总权限，其中许多投资不符合我们在表格中使用的阈值。此外，托德和泰德管理的很大一部分资金存放在伯克希尔旗下企业的各种养老金计划中，这些计划的资产不包括在本表中。</blockquote></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p><blockquote>*这是我们的实际购买价格，也是我们的税基。</blockquote></p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p><blockquote>**由BHE持有；因此，伯克希尔股东仅持有该职位 91.1% 的权益。</blockquote></p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p><blockquote>*** 包括对西方石油公司 100 亿美元的投资，包括优先股和购买普通股的认股权证，目前这一组合的价值为 107 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p><blockquote>除了脚注中的西方石油控股公司（Occidental holding）和我们的各种普通股头寸外，伯克希尔还拥有卡夫亨氏 26.6% 的权益（按 “权益 ”法而非市值入账，账面价值 131 亿美元）和 Pilot Corp. 38.6% 的权益，Pilot Corp.</blockquote></p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><p><blockquote>自我们于 2017 年购买试点股份以来，该持股已获得 “权益 ”会计处理。2023 年初，伯克希尔将购买 Pilot 的额外权益，这将使我们的所有权提高到 80%，并使我们在财务报表中全面合并 Pilot 的收益、资产和负债。</blockquote></p><p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p><blockquote><h2>美国国库券</h2>伯克希尔的资产负债表包括 1440 亿美元的现金和现金等价物（不包括持有的 BNSF 和 BHE）。其中，1200亿美元持有美国国库券，全部到期时间不到一年。这笔股份使伯克希尔哈撒韦公司能够为大约 1% 的公开持有国债提供融资。</blockquote></p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><p><blockquote>查理和我承诺，伯克希尔（以及我们除 BNSF 和 BHE 以外的子公司）将始终持有超过 300 亿美元的现金和等价物。我们希望你的公司在经济上坚不可摧，永远不要依赖陌生人（甚至朋友）的善意。我们都喜欢睡个好觉，我们希望我们的债权人、保险索赔人和你也能这样做。</blockquote></p><p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p><blockquote><h2>但是1440亿美元？</h2>我向你保证，这笔巨款并不是爱国主义的疯狂表达。查理和我也没有失去对企业所有权的压倒性偏好。事实上，我第一次表现出对此的热情是在 80 年前的 1942 年 3 月 11 日，当时我购买了三股城市服务优先股。他们的费用是114.75美元，需要我所有的积蓄。（道琼斯工业平均指数当天收于99点，这一事实应该让你尖叫：永远不要押注美国。）</blockquote></p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p><blockquote>在我最初的暴跌之后，我总是将至少80%的净资产保留在股票上。在那段时间里，我的支持率是100%，现在仍然是。伯克希尔目前在企业中占据80%左右的份额，是因为我找不到符合我们长期持股标准的整个公司或其中一小部分公司（即有价证券）。</blockquote></p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><p><blockquote>查理和我过去也不时经历过类似的现金密集型头寸。这些时期从来都不是愉快的；它们也从来都不是永久的。幸运的是，我们在2020年和2021年有一个略有吸引力的替代方案来部署资本。继续读下去。</blockquote></p><p></p><p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p><blockquote><h2>股份购回</h2>我们可以通过三种方式增加您的投资价值。第一个始终是我们最关心的问题： 通过内部增长或收购来提高伯克希尔控股企业的长期盈利能力。如今，内部机会比收购带来的回报要好得多。然而，与伯克希尔的资源相比，这些机会的规模很小。</blockquote></p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p><blockquote>我们的第二个选择是购买许多公开交易的优秀或伟大企业的非控股权。有时，这样的可能性既众多又极具吸引力。然而今天，我们很少发现让我们兴奋的事情。</blockquote></p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p><blockquote>这在很大程度上是因为一个不言而喻的事实：长期低利率会推高所有生产性投资的价格，无论是股票、公寓、农场、油井还是其他投资。其他因素也会影响估值，但利率始终很重要。</blockquote></p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p><blockquote>我们创造价值的最终途径是回购伯克希尔股票。通过这一简单的行为，我们增加了您在伯克希尔拥有的许多受控和非受控企业中的份额。当价格/价值方程正确时，这条路径是我们增加您财富的最简单、最确定的方法。（除了继续股东的价值增加外，其他几个方面也受益：回购对回购股票的卖方和社会都有适度的好处。）</blockquote></p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p><blockquote>有时，随着其他途径变得没有吸引力，回购对伯克希尔的所有者来说也很有意义。因此，在过去两年中，我们回购了截至2019年底9%的流通股，总成本为517亿美元。这笔支出使得我们的持续股东拥有伯克希尔所有业务中约 10% 的股份，无论是全资（如 BNSF 和 GEICO）还是部分全资（如可口可乐和穆迪）。</blockquote></p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p><blockquote>我想强调的是，伯克希尔的回购要想有意义，我们的股票必须提供适当的价值。我们不想为其他公司的股票支付过高的价格，如果我们在收购伯克希尔时支付过高的价格，那将是对价值的破坏。截至2022年2月23日，自年底以来，我们以12亿美元的成本回购了额外的股票。我们的胃口仍然很大，但将永远取决于价格。</blockquote></p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>需要注意的是，由于伯克希尔的投资者基础较高，其回购机会有限。如果我们的股票被短期投机者大量持有，价格波动和交易量都会大幅增加。这种重塑将为我们提供更多通过回购创造价值的机会。尽管如此，查理和我还是更喜欢我们现有的所有者，尽管他们令人钦佩的买入并保留态度限制了长期股东从机会主义回购中获利的程度。</blockquote></p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>最后，伯克希尔特有的一个容易被忽视的价值计算： 正如我们所讨论的，正确的保险 “浮动 ”对我们来说非常有价值。事实上，回购会自动增加每股 “流通量 ”的数量。在过去两年中，这一数字增长了 25%，从每股 A 股 79,387 美元增加到 99,497 美元，这是一个有意义的增长，如前所述，部分原因是回购。</blockquote></p><p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p><blockquote><h2>一个了不起的人和一个了不起的企业</h2>去年，保罗·安德鲁斯去世了。保罗是伯克希尔位于沃思堡的子公司TTI的创始人兼首席执行官。在他的一生中——无论是在他的事业中还是在他的个人追求中——保罗悄悄地展示了查理和我钦佩的所有品质。他的故事应该被讲述。</blockquote></p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p><blockquote>1971年，保罗在通用动力公司担任采购代理时，屋顶倒塌了。在失去一份巨额国防合同后，该公司解雇了数千名员工，其中包括保罗。</blockquote></p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p><blockquote>由于他的第一个孩子即将出生，保罗决定把赌注押在自己身上，用他的500美元积蓄创办了德克萨斯电子公司（后来更名为TTI）。该公司致力于分销小型电子元件，第一年的销售额总计 112,000 美元。如今，TTI 销售超过 100 万种不同的商品，年销售额达 77 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p><blockquote>但回到2006年：63岁的保罗发现自己与家庭、工作和同事相处得很开心。但他有一个挥之不去的担忧，因为他最近目睹了一位朋友的英年早逝，以及随之而来的给这位朋友的家庭和生意带来的灾难性后果。保罗在2006年问自己，如果他意外去世，许多依赖他的人会怎么样？</blockquote></p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p><blockquote>一年来，保罗一直在纠结自己的选择。卖给竞争对手？从严格的经济角度来看，这个过程是最有意义的。毕竟，竞争对手可以设想利润丰厚的 “协同效应”--当收购方削减 TTI 的重复职能时，就能实现节省。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p><blockquote>但是 . .这样的买家肯定还会保留其首席财务官、法律顾问和人力资源部门。因此，他们的TTI同类产品将被打包发送。还有啊!如果需要一个新的配送中心，收购方的家乡城市肯定会比沃斯堡更受欢迎。</blockquote></p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p><blockquote>不管经济利益如何，保罗很快得出结论，卖给竞争对手不适合他。他接下来考虑寻找一个金融买家，一个曾经被贴上杠杆收购公司标签的物种。然而，保罗知道，这样的买家会专注于 “退出策略”。谁知道会是什么呢？沉思了这一切，保罗发现自己没有兴趣把他35岁的作品交给经销商。</blockquote></p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p><blockquote>当保罗见到我时，他解释了为什么他作为买家排除了这两个选择。然后，他用比这更委婉的措辞总结了自己的困境：“经过一年的思考，我想卖给伯克希尔，因为你是唯一剩下的人了”。于是，我提出了一个提议，保罗答应了。一次会议；一份午餐；一笔交易。</blockquote></p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p><blockquote>说我们从此过上了幸福的生活是一种轻描淡写的说法。伯克希尔收购 TTI 时，该公司拥有 2,387 名员工。现在这个数字是8043。很大一部分增长发生在沃思堡及其周边地区。盈利增长了673%。</blockquote></p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p><blockquote>每年，我都会去找看涨期权·保罗，告诉他他的工资应该大幅提高。每年，他都会告诉我：“我们可以明年再谈，沃伦；我现在太忙了。”</blockquote></p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p><blockquote>格雷格-阿贝尔（Greg Abel）和我参加保罗的追悼会时，我们见到了孩子们、孙子们、老同事（包括 TTI 的第一位员工）以及伯克希尔于 2000 年收购的沃思堡一家公司的前首席执行官约翰-罗奇（John Roach）。约翰带着他的朋友保罗去了奥马哈，本能地知道我们会是一对。</blockquote></p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p><blockquote>在仪式上，格雷格和我听说了保罗默默支持的许多人和组织。他慷慨的广度是非凡的——总是致力于改善他人的生活，尤其是沃思堡的人。</blockquote></p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p><blockquote>在各方面，保罗都是一流的演员。</blockquote></p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p><blockquote>**</blockquote></p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p><blockquote>好运——偶尔是非凡的运气——在伯克希尔发挥了作用。如果保罗和我没有一个共同的朋友——约翰·罗奇——TTI就不会在我们这里找到自己的家。但大量的运气仅仅是开始。TTI 很快就带领伯克希尔进行了最重要的收购。</blockquote></p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p><blockquote>每年秋天，伯克希尔的董事们都会聚集在一起，听我们的几位高管做演讲。我们有时会根据最近收购的地点来选择地点，这样董事们就可以与新子公司的首席执行官会面，并更多地了解被收购方的活动。</blockquote></p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p><blockquote>2009年秋天，我们选择了沃思堡，这样我们就可以参观TTI。当时，同样以沃思堡为家乡的BNSF是我们有价证券中的第三大持股。尽管赌注很大，但我从未去过铁路总部。</blockquote></p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p><blockquote>我的助手黛布-博萨内克（Deb Bosanek）将我们董事会的开幕晚宴安排在 10 月 22 日。与此同时，我安排当天早些时候到达，会见BNSF的首席执行官马特·罗斯，我长期以来一直钦佩他的成就。当我确定这个日期时，我并不知道我们的聚会会与 BNSF 于 22 日晚些时候发布的第三季度财报相吻合。</blockquote></p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p><blockquote>市场对铁路公司的业绩反应强烈。大衰退在第三季度全面展开，BNSF 的盈利也反映了这种衰退。经济前景也很黯淡，华尔街对铁路或其他任何事情都不友好。</blockquote></p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p><blockquote>第二天，我再次与马特见面，并建议伯克希尔为铁路公司提供一个比它作为一家上市公司所能期望的更好的长期家园。我还告诉了他伯克希尔愿意支付的最高价格。</blockquote></p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p><blockquote>马特把这个提议转达给了他的董事和顾问。忙碌的11天后，伯克希尔和BNSF宣布了一项确定的交易。在这里，我将做出一个罕见的预测： 一个世纪后，BNSF 将成为伯克希尔和我们国家的重要资产。</blockquote></p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><p><blockquote>如果不是保罗-安德鲁斯（Paul Andrews）认为伯克希尔是 TTI 的合适所在地，BNSF 的收购就不会发生。</blockquote></p><p><h2>Thanks</h2>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago.

The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p><blockquote>一路上，我最难缠的听众是我孙子五年级的班级。11岁的孩子们在座位上蠕动着，茫然地盯着我，直到我提到可口可乐及其著名的秘方。立刻，每个人都举起了手，我才知道《秘密》对孩子们来说就是猫薄荷。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p><blockquote>教学和写作一样，帮助我发展和澄清了自己的思想。查理·评级这种现象猩猩效应：如果你和一只猩猩坐下来，仔细地向它解释你珍视的一个想法，你可能会留下一只困惑的灵长类动物，但你自己会更清楚地思考出来吗？</blockquote></p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p><blockquote>与大学生交谈要优越得多。我敦促他们在（1）这个领域找工作，（2）如果他们不需要钱，他们会选择的那种人。我承认，经济现实可能会干扰这种搜索。即便如此，我还是敦促学生们永远不要放弃追求，因为当他们找到那种工作时，他们就不再是 “工作”了。</blockquote></p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p><blockquote>在经历了一些早期的挫折后，查理和我遵循了解放的道路。我们都是从我祖父的杂货店开始的，查理是1940年，我是1942年。我们每个人都被分配了无聊的任务，而且报酬很少，绝对不是我们想要的。查理后来从事法律工作，我尝试销售证券。我们仍然无法获得工作满意度。</blockquote></p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust.

But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”Read the full letter here：To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.What You OwnBerkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.Surprise, SurpriseHere are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.Our Four GiantsThrough Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.InvestmentsNow let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.U.S. Treasury BillsBerkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.But $144 billion?That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.Share RepurchasesThere are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful BusinessLast year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.In all ways, Paul was a class act.* * * * * * * * * * * *Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.ThanksI taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction workingfor you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”The Annual MeetingClear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.February 26, 2022Warren E.

The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, a number of notable red flags warrant caution. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error.</p><p><blockquote>我给予 Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) 中性风险/回报评级，因为长期增长机会被近期危险信号所抵消。长期机遇在于成为能够整合结构化和非结构化数据以实现实时智能的基础企业操作系统。然而，一些值得注意的危险信号需要谨慎。主要的危险信号包括销售放缓、不寻常的上市转变、盈利能力迅速放缓以及估值升高，从而提供了有限的误差空间。</blockquote></p><p><b>Risk/Reward Rating: Neutral</b></p><p><blockquote><b>风险/回报评级：中性</b></blockquote></p><p>Palantir has an unusual business model compared to its peers in the enterprise software sector in regard to how it acquires and grows its customer base. The company categorizes its customers according to three phases of development or cohorts: (1) Acquire, (2) Expand, and (3) Scale. While they are generic terms that are applicable to all businesses, they are unique in the case of Palantir due to how the company approaches its customers.</p><p><blockquote>与企业软件行业的同行相比，Palantir 在如何获取和扩大客户群方面拥有不同寻常的商业模式。该公司根据三个发展阶段或群体对其客户进行分类：（1）收购，（2）扩张，以及（3）规模化。虽然它们是适用于所有企业的通用术语，但由于该公司对待客户的方式，它们在Palantir的案例中是独一无二的。</blockquote></p><p><b>Customer Detail</b></p><p><blockquote><b>客户详情</b></blockquote></p><p>Palantir defines a customer in the Acquire cohort as one that has generated less than $100,000 of revenue as of year-end while being unprofitable to Palantir. The Expand cohort is characterized by a customer that generated more than $100,000 of sales yet remained unprofitable. Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir 将收购群体中的客户定义为截至年底产生的收入低于 100,000 美元，但对 Palantir 来说无利可图的客户。扩展队列的特点是客户创造了超过100,000美元的销售额，但仍然没有盈利。最后，规模群体被定义为在这一年中为Palantir创造了超过100,000美元的收入，同时是盈利关系的客户。</blockquote></p><p>The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.</p><p><blockquote>下表编制自 Palantir 向美国证券交易委员会提交的 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 报告。第一个表格显示了 Palantir 2020 年每个客户群体的销售额，这些客户群体在 2020 年底进行了分类（2020 年收入）。在2021年年化列中，您可以找到截至2021年第三季度的2020年客户群体的销售额。在第二组表格中，我汇编了过去 12 个月中 Palantir 最大客户的关键细节，以及 2021 年新加入 Palantir 但尚未被分配到队列中的客户的关键细节。队列分类发生在每年年底。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e38ee31a1d6e826d2d02216e39ac570\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"151\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4dc61112528e104ef0d3a8dc80f89d1\" tg-width=\"581\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>For ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.</p><p><blockquote>为了便于比较，我对相关信息进行了颜色编码。Palantir 的主要现实之一是其集中的客户群，以蓝色突出显示。Palantir只有203个客户，前20名占销售额的58%。</blockquote></p><p>By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.</p><p><blockquote>根据定义，Palantir 最大的客户属于规模群体。在2021年前三个季度，规模队列（2020年底分类）正以20%的年化增长率增长。鉴于这一群体占 Palantir 收入的 86%，如果没有其他两个群体的爆炸性增长或规模群体的实质性加速，要将销售增长率大幅提高到 20% 以上将是一项挑战。应该指出的是，管理层的目标是到十年中期年销售额增长30%。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.</p><p><blockquote>2020年年终收购和扩展队列在上表中以黄色突出显示。在年终Palantir报告发布之前，2021年的新客户不会被分配到一个队列中。我用黄色突出显示了相关的2021年新客户数据，以便于与2020年获取和扩展客户群体进行比较。我认为2021年新客户销售业绩（不包括对被投资方的销售）是可持续的核心增长率。被投资的客户获取策略极为不寻常，并承担极高的资本风险，从而引入声誉风险，进而引入品牌风险。</blockquote></p><p>Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.</p><p><blockquote>请注意，这里的被投资方是指 Palantir 使用 Palantir 的软件购买被投资方股票作为回报的客户。这意味着，来自被投资方的收入是 Palantir 投资这些客户股票的回报。在这方面，这些都不是公平交易。我认为，不包括对被投资方的销售的新客户数量是确定纯粹基于市场的新客户增长率的重要数据点。</blockquote></p><p>Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.</p><p><blockquote>与2021年规模队列年增长率20%类似，到2021年第三季度，新客户销售年增长率为22%，而2020年收购和扩张队列的销售额为2060万美元。虽然这不是新客户销售增长的完美比较，但这是一个公平的估计。因此，Palantir 的基本销售增长率似乎将接近 20%，而不是该公司到十年中期 30% 的销售增长指导。</blockquote></p><p><b>Investees</b></p><p><blockquote><b>投资</b></blockquote></p><p>It is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.</p><p><blockquote>重要的是要退后一步，重新审视 Palantir 对被投资方的投资，因为这是一种非常不寻常的客户获取市场策略。上述数字表明收入增长趋势为 20%，这为 Palantir 利用资产负债表现金为新客户提供资金提供了新的视角。下表编制自 Palantir 2021 年第三季度 10-Q。第一个表格列出了截至2021年第三季度末Palantir资助的公司。第二个表格显示了 Palantir 对尚未获得资金的新公司的投资承诺。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dda111182479c1fbaddc642369e4bd3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"264\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>I have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.</p><p><blockquote>我对上述每家公司都进行了粗略的审查。共同的主题是，它们都是最受欢迎的增长领域的早期公司。这些领域包括电动汽车、机器人、飞行电动汽车、卫星服务和药物发现。所有被投资方似乎都没有提供足够的升值潜力来大幅推动 Palantir 的估值。Palantir 的持股比例从 0.4% 到 1.6% 不等。</blockquote></p><p>It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.</p><p><blockquote>目前还不清楚每家公司有多少资金可以用于 Palantir 的软件。此外，目前尚不清楚这些公司到 2021 年第三季度的 1900 万美元收入是否可持续。</blockquote></p><p>I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.</p><p><blockquote>我在 blue Palantir 对这七家公司的总投资为 1.5 亿美元。黄色突出显示的单元格代表投资的当前估值。Palantir 目前仅这七家公司就亏损了约 6400 万美元。这凸显了这种客户获取方法的极端风险，因为迄今为止的资本损失使产生的收入相形见绌。上面没有列出其他私营公司投资，但是，Palantir 没有透露细节。截至 2021 年第三季度，它们被计入 Palantir 资产负债表上的其他资产，总额为 1.16 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021.

This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.</p><p><blockquote>我用蓝色突出显示了截至 2021 年第三季度新投资的总资金承诺。这是第三季度末之前完成的 1.5 亿美元之外的 2.52 亿美元。虽然我没有研究过这些特定的公司，但它们似乎与上面回顾的前七项投资相似。也就是说，与 Palantir 软件业务固有的估值上涨空间相比，它们似乎承担了极大的资本风险，上涨潜力可能微乎其微。应该指出的是，最近的估值是极端的，并继续快速收缩。因此，在风险投资/IPO周期的顶部进行投资也增加了资本损失的时机风险。</blockquote></p><p><b>Financial Performance</b></p><p><blockquote><b>财务表现</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p>Turning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory.

Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.</p><p><blockquote>我用黄色突出显示了扣除被投资方收入后 2021 年第三季度 29% 的收入增长。第三季度被投资企业增长了 6.5%。年初至今，被投资方收入占收入增长1.7%。29% 的增长率已经低于公司到十年中期 30% 的增长率。请记住，随着 Palantir 投资承诺的额外资金，被投资方的收入来源将会增加。无论如何，第三季度的增长率正在迅速放缓，为 29%，而年初至今为 41%，不包括这些非公平销售。</blockquote></p><p><b>Geographic &amp; Segment Sales</b></p><p><blockquote><b>地理和分部销售</b></blockquote></p><p>The sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below. The table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC.</p><p><blockquote>销售放缓的主要原因是法国，2021 年前三个季度销量萎缩了 22%（下面用橙色突出显示）。应该指出的是，Palantir与空客和航空业有着重要的关系。对于一个重要的客户和行业来说，这可能是一个负面的解读。虽然美国在2021年第三季度仍然是表现最好的国家，但增长正在迅速放缓，下面的蓝色突出显示的单元格就证明了这一点。该表是根据 Palantir 向美国证券交易委员会提交的 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 报告编制的。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b19bc17658ff1b951eec789ec95deddd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>In addition to France, the rest of the world is also slowing rapidly, from 45% through the first nine months of the year to 20% in Q3 2021. Please note that these are reported sales without any adjustments.

The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:</p><p><blockquote>Palantir 不同寻常的客户获取策略早于向被投资方的转变。该公司的销售和营销费用似乎与为其他公司销售商品的成本非常相似。这是因为 Palantir 为潜在客户提供免费试点计划，而不是要求预先付费才能使用其软件。销售和营销人员执行试点计划并协调解决方案开发，以产生销售额。以下摘自 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 的报价总结了情况：</blockquote></p><p>Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.</p><p><blockquote>销售和营销成本主要包括工资、基于股票的薪酬费用以及参与执行试点和客户增长活动的销售人员和人员的福利……因此，我认为 Palantir 的销售和营销费用是销售商品的成本并减少到毛利率。虽然这种分类不会影响利润，但它确实有助于将报告的 78% 毛利率置于上下文中。</blockquote></p><p>I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.</p><p><blockquote>我认为，这种关于销售和营销费用的观点有助于思考 Palantir 相对于其他公司的商业模式以及依赖于毛利率的相对估值。下表根据 Palantir 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 报告编制而成，显示了通过从每个行项目中删除相关的基于股票的薪酬费用进行调整后的收入、销售和营销费用报告成本。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55c5e5fcea6102ca9d0542c130ee1d15\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>Notice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow). The cost of sales is rising rapidly in Q3 2021 compared to the first nine months of the year.</p><p><blockquote>请注意，第三季度调整后毛利润增长大幅放缓至25%（表格下部蓝色突出显示），而2021年前9个月为59%（黄色突出显示）。与今年前九个月相比，2021年第三季度的销售成本正在迅速上升。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Palantir utilizes one KPI or Key Performance Indicator to judge performance and inform decision-making, which is referred to as Contribution Margin. It is similar to my adjusted gross margin figure above as can be seen in the following table compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir利用一个KPI或关键绩效指标来判断绩效并为决策提供信息，这被称为贡献边际。这与我上面的调整后毛利率数字相似，从下表可以看出，该表格是根据 Palantir 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 报告编制的。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cc4e966e16c27ea17f99ccb08a18957\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"281\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>Notice that the contribution row is remarkably similar to my adjusted gross profit row in the previous table. Additionally, the growth rate deceleration is similar, as can be seen in the highlighted cells. While 37% is materially different from my estimate of 25% growth, the step change lower from 64% is of similar amplitude.</p><p><blockquote>请注意，贡献行与上表中我调整后的毛利润行非常相似。此外，生长速率减速是相似的，如在突出显示的单元格中可以看到的。虽然 37% 与我估计的 25% 增长有很大不同，但低于 64% 的阶跃变化幅度相似。</blockquote></p><p><b>Operating Income</b></p><p><blockquote><b>经营利润</b></blockquote></p><p>Turning to operating income, I have adjusted the reported figures once again by removing stock option-related expenses as well as one-off expenses pertaining to the direct listing IPO in 2020. The overriding message is once again one of rapid deceleration. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and displays operating expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses, as well as my adjusted operating income estimate.</p><p><blockquote>谈到经营利润，我再次调整了报告的数字，删除了与股票期权相关的费用以及与 2020 年直接上市 IPO 相关的一次性费用。压倒一切的信息再次是快速减速。下表是从同一份SEC文件中编制的，显示了不包括销售和营销费用的运营费用，以及我调整后的经营利润估计。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5f344c289a598ec7824067b39c04f09\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"479\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>In the lower section of the table, notice the incredible deceleration in adjusted operating income to 40% growth in Q3 of 2021 compared to 266% growth through the first nine months of the year. General and administrative expenses accelerated rapidly in Q3 2021, while Palantir materially reduced research and development investment to just 5% growth in Q3.</p><p><blockquote>在表格的下半部分，请注意2021年第三季度调整后经营利润的增长率令人难以置信地放缓至40%，而今年前9个月的增长率为266%。一般和管理费用在2021年第三季度迅速加速，而Palantir在第三季度大幅减少了研发投资，仅增长5%。</blockquote></p><p>The research and development investment slowdown could be a negative read through for sales growth as R&amp;D is an integral part of the sales process. Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.</p><p><blockquote>研发投资放缓可能会对销售增长产生负面影响，因为研发是销售过程中不可或缺的一部分。研发费用应通过三个客户阶段跟踪销售周期：获取、扩张和扩大。由于销售和营销部门确定了客户需求，因此研发费用应响应未来销售潜力的增加。目前这种情况似乎没有发生。</blockquote></p><p>As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.</p><p><blockquote>截至 2021 年第三季度，Palantir 的年化调整后经营利润运行率约为 300 万至 3.2 亿美元，即约每股 0.16 美元。这是税前经营利润数字。经营利润方面的主要收获是盈利能力正在迅速放缓。这为正在部署的不寻常的被投资方客户获取策略提供了额外的色彩。</blockquote></p><p><b>Consensus Growth Estimates</b></p><p><blockquote><b>共识增长估计</b></blockquote></p><p>If Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context. The following table was compiled from Seeking Alpha and displays consensus earnings and revenue estimates through 2023.</p><p><blockquote>如果 Palantir 的调整后年经营利润运行税率为 3.2 亿美元，并且按 25% 的标准化税率征税，则当前的盈利能力将在 2.4 亿美元范围内，即每股稀释后 0.12 美元。有了这些信息和上面概述的增长放缓，我们可以开始将共识的盈利预测放在背景中。下表由 Seeking Alpha 编制，显示了到 2023 年的共识盈利和收入预期。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/022fd2d18964776a3e20294c7917548f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"241\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Seeking Alpha. Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>来源：寻求阿尔法。由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>I have highlighted the 2022 consensus estimates for earnings and sales growth. Notice that the 39% consensus earnings growth estimate for 2022 is in line with the 40% operating income growth posted in Q3 of 2021. Additionally, the sales growth estimate of 30% is just above the 29% adjusted sales growth in Q3 2021 excluding sales to Investees.</p><p><blockquote>我强调了 2022 年盈利和销售增长的共识预期。请注意，2022 年 39% 的普遍盈利增长预期与 2021 年第三季度 40% 的经营利润增长一致。此外，30% 的销售增长预期略高于 2021 年第三季度 29% 的调整后销售增长（不包括对被投资方的销售）。</blockquote></p><p>The 39% earnings growth expected for 2022 appears to be at material risk of being too high given the rapid slowdown in operating income to 40% in Q3 2021 compared to 266% through the first nine months of the year. This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.</p><p><blockquote>鉴于经营利润在 2021 年第三季度迅速放缓至 40%，而今年前 9 个月为 266%，预计 2022 年 39% 的盈利增长似乎面临过高的重大风险。这一轨迹可能会使 2022 年的盈利增长远低于 39%。</blockquote></p><p>The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.</p><p><blockquote>鉴于 Palantir 对购买 Palantir 软件的投资者采取了积极的投资策略，2022 年 30% 的销售额增长预期似乎是可以实现的。我相信市场会像我一样倾向于对被投资方的销售额打折。排除这些销售，2022 年收入增长轨迹似乎将接近 20%，而不是 30%，这为进一步令人失望的增长打开了大门。</blockquote></p><p>Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.</p><p><blockquote>从 2023 年的共识预测来看，预期增长率与 2022 年非常相似。这一到 2023 年的直线增长预测增加了未来几年共识估计可能过高的风险。目前的轨迹表明，2022 年和 2023 年的增长将远低于预期。</blockquote></p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p>Palantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir 2021 年的交易价格是市场普遍预期的 87 倍，2022 年的 62 倍。请记住，这些是非GAAP（公认会计原则）收益估计。根据 GAAP，Palantir 继续亏损生产。2021 年第三季度报告的亏损为 9200 万美元，2021 年前 9 个月亏损为 3.52 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.</p><p><blockquote>使用非 GAAP 盈利预测，从历史市场角度来看，87 倍本年度盈利和 62 倍未来盈利是极端估值。也就是说，它们属于近年来成长型股票的可能性范围。与 Palantir 迅速放缓的销售额和经营利润增长率，以及一致估计可能过高的风险相比，目前一致估计的估值倍数几乎没有误差。</blockquote></p><p>On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.</p><p><blockquote>在销售方面，Palantir 的估值是 2021 年收入普遍预期的 17 倍，2022 年收入普遍预期的 13 倍。从历史角度来看，对于一家大型公司来说，这些都是极端的市销率倍数。我估计核心销售额增长趋势为 20%（不包括被投资方收入），这表明这些销售额估值倍数也几乎没有误差。</blockquote></p><p>The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.</p><p><blockquote>加上经营利润增长迅速放缓，估值风险进一步升高。此外，从我的调整后毛利率数据中可以看出，截至 2021 年第三季度增长了 25%，Palantir 商业模式可能不支持历史极端的市销率估值。</blockquote></p><p><b>Technicals</b></p><p><blockquote><b>技术</b></blockquote></p><p>While the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential. The following 3-year weekly chart offers a bird’s eye view of the potential technical return spectrum. I have highlighted the key resistance levels with orange horizontal lines and the primary support level with a green line.</p><p><blockquote>虽然基本面背景表明误差幅度很小，超额回报潜力较小，但技术设置表明上行回报潜力更有意义。下面的 3 年周线图鸟瞰了潜在的技术回报范围。我用橙色水平线突出显示了关键阻力位，用绿线突出显示了主要支撑位。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9aaa4f2a36fa507e420c9353d0cd91c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Palantir 3-year weekly chart.

On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%. It should be noted that Palantir’s short trading history of 16 months limits the usefulness of technical analysis. Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.</p><p><blockquote>最近阻力位 19 美元和 22 美元的回报潜力分别为 43% 和 65%。不利的一面是，最近的支撑位位于 10 美元附近的 IPO 价格范围。该水平的下行回报潜力为-25%。需要注意的是，Palantir 16 个月的短暂交易历史限制了技术分析的有用性。此外，由于没有低于 IPO 价格的交易历史，如果跌破 10 美元水平，目前尚不清楚在哪里会找到支撑。</blockquote></p><p>To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8. This represents -40% downside risk from current levels.</p><p><blockquote>为了估计下行潜力低于 10 美元，我应用了 2022 年非 GAAP 共识收益预期的 40 倍市盈率。这一估值是当前市场平均水平的两倍，Palantir 股价将达到 8 美元。这代表了当前水平的-40%的下行风险。</blockquote></p><p>If the 39% consensus earnings estimate for 2022 is too high, further downside from $8 is in the realm of possibility. To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.</p><p><blockquote>如果 2022 年 39% 的普遍盈利预期过高，那么 8 美元的进一步下跌是有可能的。为了估算估算过高时的潜在下行风险，我将同样的 40 倍非美国通用会计准则收益应用于我对 Palantir 目前全额征税、非美国通用会计准则盈利能力的年度运行率的估算。如果 2022 年盈利增长率达到 25%（我对截至 2021 年第三季度调整后毛利润增长率的估计），而我对当前税后调整后盈利年运行率的估计为 0.12 美元，那么股价可能会跌至 6 美元。这将意味着-55%的下行风险。</blockquote></p><p>The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.</p><p><blockquote>下面的日线图提供了对技术背景的更深入了解。</blockquote></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa32fdab79f60368696ab122ff81b60a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p>The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22. Given the unrelenting downtrend over the past three months, a near-term bounce is likely. That said, the upside technical potential combined with the downside fundamental potential leaves the shares with a balanced potential return spectrum of 65% to -55% over the near term.</p><p><blockquote>技术图显示 19 美元至 22 美元之间存在巨大阻力。鉴于过去三个月的持续下降趋势，近期可能会出现反弹。也就是说，上行技术潜力与下行基本面潜力相结合，使该股在短期内具有 65% 至 -55% 的平衡潜在回报率。</blockquote></p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p><blockquote><b>总结</b></blockquote></p><p>All told, Palantir should be placed on the watchlist for high-risk growth investors. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, with notable red flags in the mix, caution is in order. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error. The resulting symmetry between risk and reward results in a neutral rating.</p><p><blockquote>总而言之，Palantir 应该被列入高风险成长型投资者的观察名单。长期机遇在于成为能够整合结构化和非结构化数据以实现实时智能的基础企业操作系统。然而，随着明显的危险信号出现，谨慎是必要的。主要的危险信号包括销售放缓、不寻常的上市转变、盈利能力迅速放缓以及估值升高，从而提供了有限的误差空间。由此产生的风险和回报之间的对称性导致了中性评级。</blockquote></p><p></body></html></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; 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>Palantir: Red Flag Or Opportunity?<blockquote>Palantir：危险信号还是机会？</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPalantir: Red Flag Or Opportunity?<blockquote>Palantir：危险信号还是机会？</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">Seeking Alpha</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2022-02-05 11:51</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p><html><head></head><body><b>Summary</b></p><p><blockquote><html><head></head><body><b>总结</b></body></html></blockquote></p><p><ul><li>Palantir has only 203 total customers as of Q3 2021, while just 20 of those customers account for 58% of total revenue.</li><li>Revenue growth in Palantir’s core client cohort slowed to 20% annualized through the first three quarters of 2021 compared to 2020.</li><li>During 2021, Palantir fundamentally transformed its go-to-market strategy.

Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir 将收购群体中的客户定义为截至年底产生的收入低于 100,000 美元，但对 Palantir 来说无利可图的客户。扩展队列的特点是客户创造了超过100,000美元的销售额，但仍然没有盈利。最后，规模群体被定义为在这一年中为Palantir创造了超过100,000美元的收入，同时是盈利关系的客户。</blockquote></p><p>The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.</p><p><blockquote>下表编制自 Palantir 向美国证券交易委员会提交的 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 报告。第一个表格显示了 Palantir 2020 年每个客户群体的销售额，这些客户群体在 2020 年底进行了分类（2020 年收入）。在2021年年化列中，您可以找到截至2021年第三季度的2020年客户群体的销售额。在第二组表格中，我汇编了过去 12 个月中 Palantir 最大客户的关键细节，以及 2021 年新加入 Palantir 但尚未被分配到队列中的客户的关键细节。队列分类发生在每年年底。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e38ee31a1d6e826d2d02216e39ac570\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"151\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4dc61112528e104ef0d3a8dc80f89d1\" tg-width=\"581\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>For ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.</p><p><blockquote>为了便于比较，我对相关信息进行了颜色编码。Palantir 的主要现实之一是其集中的客户群，以蓝色突出显示。Palantir只有203个客户，前20名占销售额的58%。</blockquote></p><p>By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.</p><p><blockquote>根据定义，Palantir 最大的客户属于规模群体。在2021年前三个季度，规模队列（2020年底分类）正以20%的年化增长率增长。鉴于这一群体占 Palantir 收入的 86%，如果没有其他两个群体的爆炸性增长或规模群体的实质性加速，要将销售增长率大幅提高到 20% 以上将是一项挑战。应该指出的是，管理层的目标是到十年中期年销售额增长30%。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.</p><p><blockquote>2020年年终收购和扩展队列在上表中以黄色突出显示。在年终Palantir报告发布之前，2021年的新客户不会被分配到一个队列中。我用黄色突出显示了相关的2021年新客户数据，以便于与2020年获取和扩展客户群体进行比较。我认为2021年新客户销售业绩（不包括对被投资方的销售）是可持续的核心增长率。被投资的客户获取策略极为不寻常，并承担极高的资本风险，从而引入声誉风险，进而引入品牌风险。</blockquote></p><p>Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.</p><p><blockquote>请注意，这里的被投资方是指 Palantir 使用 Palantir 的软件购买被投资方股票作为回报的客户。这意味着，来自被投资方的收入是 Palantir 投资这些客户股票的回报。在这方面，这些都不是公平交易。我认为，不包括对被投资方的销售的新客户数量是确定纯粹基于市场的新客户增长率的重要数据点。</blockquote></p><p>Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.</p><p><blockquote>与2021年规模队列年增长率20%类似，到2021年第三季度，新客户销售年增长率为22%，而2020年收购和扩张队列的销售额为2060万美元。虽然这不是新客户销售增长的完美比较，但这是一个公平的估计。因此，Palantir 的基本销售增长率似乎将接近 20%，而不是该公司到十年中期 30% 的销售增长指导。</blockquote></p><p><b>Investees</b></p><p><blockquote><b>投资</b></blockquote></p><p>It is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.</p><p><blockquote>重要的是要退后一步，重新审视 Palantir 对被投资方的投资，因为这是一种非常不寻常的客户获取市场策略。上述数字表明收入增长趋势为 20%，这为 Palantir 利用资产负债表现金为新客户提供资金提供了新的视角。下表编制自 Palantir 2021 年第三季度 10-Q。第一个表格列出了截至2021年第三季度末Palantir资助的公司。第二个表格显示了 Palantir 对尚未获得资金的新公司的投资承诺。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dda111182479c1fbaddc642369e4bd3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"264\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>I have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.</p><p><blockquote>我对上述每家公司都进行了粗略的审查。共同的主题是，它们都是最受欢迎的增长领域的早期公司。这些领域包括电动汽车、机器人、飞行电动汽车、卫星服务和药物发现。所有被投资方似乎都没有提供足够的升值潜力来大幅推动 Palantir 的估值。Palantir 的持股比例从 0.4% 到 1.6% 不等。</blockquote></p><p>It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.</p><p><blockquote>目前还不清楚每家公司有多少资金可以用于 Palantir 的软件。此外，目前尚不清楚这些公司到 2021 年第三季度的 1900 万美元收入是否可持续。</blockquote></p><p>I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.</p><p><blockquote>我在 blue Palantir 对这七家公司的总投资为 1.5 亿美元。黄色突出显示的单元格代表投资的当前估值。Palantir 目前仅这七家公司就亏损了约 6400 万美元。这凸显了这种客户获取方法的极端风险，因为迄今为止的资本损失使产生的收入相形见绌。上面没有列出其他私营公司投资，但是，Palantir 没有透露细节。截至 2021 年第三季度，它们被计入 Palantir 资产负债表上的其他资产，总额为 1.16 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021.

This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.</p><p><blockquote>我用蓝色突出显示了截至 2021 年第三季度新投资的总资金承诺。这是第三季度末之前完成的 1.5 亿美元之外的 2.52 亿美元。虽然我没有研究过这些特定的公司，但它们似乎与上面回顾的前七项投资相似。也就是说，与 Palantir 软件业务固有的估值上涨空间相比，它们似乎承担了极大的资本风险，上涨潜力可能微乎其微。应该指出的是，最近的估值是极端的，并继续快速收缩。因此，在风险投资/IPO周期的顶部进行投资也增加了资本损失的时机风险。</blockquote></p><p><b>Financial Performance</b></p><p><blockquote><b>财务表现</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p>Turning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory.

Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.</p><p><blockquote>我用黄色突出显示了扣除被投资方收入后 2021 年第三季度 29% 的收入增长。第三季度被投资企业增长了 6.5%。年初至今，被投资方收入占收入增长1.7%。29% 的增长率已经低于公司到十年中期 30% 的增长率。请记住，随着 Palantir 投资承诺的额外资金，被投资方的收入来源将会增加。无论如何，第三季度的增长率正在迅速放缓，为 29%，而年初至今为 41%，不包括这些非公平销售。</blockquote></p><p><b>Geographic &amp; Segment Sales</b></p><p><blockquote><b>地理和分部销售</b></blockquote></p><p>The sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below.

The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:</p><p><blockquote>Palantir 不同寻常的客户获取策略早于向被投资方的转变。该公司的销售和营销费用似乎与为其他公司销售商品的成本非常相似。这是因为 Palantir 为潜在客户提供免费试点计划，而不是要求预先付费才能使用其软件。销售和营销人员执行试点计划并协调解决方案开发，以产生销售额。以下摘自 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 的报价总结了情况：</blockquote></p><p>Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.</p><p><blockquote>销售和营销成本主要包括工资、基于股票的薪酬费用以及参与执行试点和客户增长活动的销售人员和人员的福利……因此，我认为 Palantir 的销售和营销费用是销售商品的成本并减少到毛利率。虽然这种分类不会影响利润，但它确实有助于将报告的 78% 毛利率置于上下文中。</blockquote></p><p>I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.</p><p><blockquote>我认为，这种关于销售和营销费用的观点有助于思考 Palantir 相对于其他公司的商业模式以及依赖于毛利率的相对估值。下表根据 Palantir 2021 年第三季度 10-Q 报告编制而成，显示了通过从每个行项目中删除相关的基于股票的薪酬费用进行调整后的收入、销售和营销费用报告成本。</blockquote></p><p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55c5e5fcea6102ca9d0542c130ee1d15\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdox</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>资料来源：由 Brian Kapp、stoxdox 创建</span></p></blockquote></p><p>Notice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow).

Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.</p><p><blockquote>研发投资放缓可能会对销售增长产生负面影响，因为研发是销售过程中不可或缺的一部分。研发费用应通过三个客户阶段跟踪销售周期：获取、扩张和扩大。由于销售和营销部门确定了客户需求，因此研发费用应响应未来销售潜力的增加。目前这种情况似乎没有发生。</blockquote></p><p>As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.</p><p><blockquote>截至 2021 年第三季度，Palantir 的年化调整后经营利润运行率约为 300 万至 3.2 亿美元，即约每股 0.16 美元。这是税前经营利润数字。经营利润方面的主要收获是盈利能力正在迅速放缓。这为正在部署的不寻常的被投资方客户获取策略提供了额外的色彩。</blockquote></p><p><b>Consensus Growth Estimates</b></p><p><blockquote><b>共识增长估计</b></blockquote></p><p>If Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context.

This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.</p><p><blockquote>鉴于经营利润在 2021 年第三季度迅速放缓至 40%，而今年前 9 个月为 266%，预计 2022 年 39% 的盈利增长似乎面临过高的重大风险。这一轨迹可能会使 2022 年的盈利增长远低于 39%。</blockquote></p><p>The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.</p><p><blockquote>鉴于 Palantir 对购买 Palantir 软件的投资者采取了积极的投资策略，2022 年 30% 的销售额增长预期似乎是可以实现的。我相信市场会像我一样倾向于对被投资方的销售额打折。排除这些销售，2022 年收入增长轨迹似乎将接近 20%，而不是 30%，这为进一步令人失望的增长打开了大门。</blockquote></p><p>Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.</p><p><blockquote>从 2023 年的共识预测来看，预期增长率与 2022 年非常相似。这一到 2023 年的直线增长预测增加了未来几年共识估计可能过高的风险。目前的轨迹表明，2022 年和 2023 年的增长将远低于预期。</blockquote></p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>估值</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p>Palantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.</p><p><blockquote>Palantir 2021 年的交易价格是市场普遍预期的 87 倍，2022 年的 62 倍。请记住，这些是非GAAP（公认会计原则）收益估计。根据 GAAP，Palantir 继续亏损生产。2021 年第三季度报告的亏损为 9200 万美元，2021 年前 9 个月亏损为 3.52 亿美元。</blockquote></p><p>Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.</p><p><blockquote>使用非 GAAP 盈利预测，从历史市场角度来看，87 倍本年度盈利和 62 倍未来盈利是极端估值。也就是说，它们属于近年来成长型股票的可能性范围。与 Palantir 迅速放缓的销售额和经营利润增长率，以及一致估计可能过高的风险相比，目前一致估计的估值倍数几乎没有误差。</blockquote></p><p>On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.</p><p><blockquote>在销售方面，Palantir 的估值是 2021 年收入普遍预期的 17 倍，2022 年收入普遍预期的 13 倍。从历史角度来看，对于一家大型公司来说，这些都是极端的市销率倍数。我估计核心销售额增长趋势为 20%（不包括被投资方收入），这表明这些销售额估值倍数也几乎没有误差。</blockquote></p><p>The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.</p><p><blockquote>加上经营利润增长迅速放缓，估值风险进一步升高。此外，从我的调整后毛利率数据中可以看出，截至 2021 年第三季度增长了 25%，Palantir 商业模式可能不支持历史极端的市销率估值。</blockquote></p><p><b>Technicals</b></p><p><blockquote><b>技术</b></blockquote></p><p>While the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential.

On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%.

Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.</p><p><blockquote>最近阻力位 19 美元和 22 美元的回报潜力分别为 43% 和 65%。不利的一面是，最近的支撑位位于 10 美元附近的 IPO 价格范围。该水平的下行回报潜力为-25%。需要注意的是，Palantir 16 个月的短暂交易历史限制了技术分析的有用性。此外，由于没有低于 IPO 价格的交易历史，如果跌破 10 美元水平，目前尚不清楚在哪里会找到支撑。</blockquote></p><p>To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8.

To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.</p><p><blockquote>如果 2022 年 39% 的普遍盈利预期过高，那么 8 美元的进一步下跌是有可能的。为了估算估算过高时的潜在下行风险，我将同样的 40 倍非美国通用会计准则收益应用于我对 Palantir 目前全额征税、非美国通用会计准则盈利能力的年度运行率的估算。如果 2022 年盈利增长率达到 25%（我对截至 2021 年第三季度调整后毛利润增长率的估计），而我对当前税后调整后盈利年运行率的估计为 0.12 美元，那么股价可能会跌至 6 美元。这将意味着-55%的下行风险。</blockquote></p><p>The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.</p><p><blockquote>下面的日线图提供了对技术背景的更深入了解。</blockquote></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa32fdab79f60368696ab122ff81b60a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"372\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p>The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22.

The company is now using its cash to aggressively invest in other companies (Investees) who agree to purchase Palantir’s software.Management continues to guide for 30% sales growth through mid-decade. However, Palantir’s 3-phase business model hints at sales trending lower excluding its Investee sales.Palantir offers extraordinary long-term growth potential which should place it on the watchlist of all growth investors. The investment case rests on the fulcrum between opportunity and red flags.agawa288/iStock via Getty ImagesI am assigning Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) a neutral risk/reward rating as the long-term growth opportunity is counterbalanced by near-term red flags. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, a number of notable red flags warrant caution. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error.Risk/Reward Rating: NeutralPalantir has an unusual business model compared to its peers in the enterprise software sector in regard to how it acquires and grows its customer base. The company categorizes its customers according to three phases of development or cohorts: (1) Acquire, (2) Expand, and (3) Scale. While they are generic terms that are applicable to all businesses, they are unique in the case of Palantir due to how the company approaches its customers.Customer DetailPalantir defines a customer in the Acquire cohort as one that has generated less than $100,000 of revenue as of year-end while being unprofitable to Palantir. The Expand cohort is characterized by a customer that generated more than $100,000 of sales yet remained unprofitable. Finally, the Scale cohort is defined as a customer that has generated more than $100,000 of revenue while being a profitable relationship for Palantir during the year.The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. The first table displays Palantir’s 2020 sales from each of the client cohorts which were categorized at the end of 2020 (2020 Revenue). In the 2021 Annualized column, you will find the sales of each of these 2020 customer cohorts through Q3 2021 annualized. In the second set of tables, I have compiled key details regarding Palantir’s largest customers over the past twelve months, as well as critical details pertaining to customers that are new to Palantir in 2021 which are not yet assigned to a cohort. Cohort categorization occurs at the end of each year.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxSource: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxFor ease of comparison, I have color-coded the information that is related. One of the dominant realities for Palantir is its concentrated customer base, which is highlighted in blue. Palantir has only 203 customers, with the top 20 accounting for 58% of sales.By definition, Palantir’s largest customers are in the Scale cohort. Through the first three quarters of 2021, the Scale cohort (categorized as such at the end of 2020) is growing at an annualized rate of 20%. Given that this group accounts for 86% of Palantir’s revenue, it will be challenging to move the sales growth needle materially above 20% without explosive growth from the other two cohorts or a material acceleration from the Scale cohort. It should be noted that management is guiding to 30% annual sales growth through mid-decade.The 2020 year-end Acquire and Expand cohorts are highlighted in yellow in the upper table. New customers in 2021 will not be assigned to a cohort until the year-end Palantir report. I have highlighted the pertinent 2021 new customer data in yellow for easy comparison to the 2020 Acquire and Expand customer cohorts. I view the 2021 new customer sales performance excluding sales to Investees to be a sustainable core growth rate. The Investee customer acquisition strategy is extraordinarily unusual and carries an exceedingly high capital risk which introduces reputational and, therefore, brand risk.Please note that Investee here refers to customers that Palantir has purchased the stock of in return for the Investee using Palantir’s software. Meaning, the revenue from Investees is a reciprocation of Palantir investing in the shares of these customers. In this respect, these are not arm’s-length transactions. I believe the new client numbers excluding sales to Investees is an important data point for ascertaining a purely market-based new customer growth rate.Similar to the Scale cohort growth rate annualizing at 20% in 2021, the new customer sales growth rate is annualizing at 22% through Q3 2021 compared to the $20.6 million of sales from the Acquire and Expand cohorts of 2020. While this is not a perfect comparison for sales growth from new customers, it is a fair estimation. As a result, Palantir appears to be trending toward an underlying sales growth rate closer to 20% than the company’s 30% sales growth guidance through mid-decade.InvesteesIt is important to step back and review Palantir’s investments in Investees as this is an extraordinarily unusual go-to-market strategy for customer acquisition. The above numbers, which suggest revenue growth is trending toward 20%, place Palantir’s use of its balance sheet cash to fund new customers in a new light. The following tables were compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q. The first table lists companies that Palantir has funded as of the end of Q3 2021. The second table displays Palantir’s investment commitments to new companies that are not yet funded.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have conducted a cursory review of each of the above companies. The common theme is that they are all early-stage companies in the most popular growth sectors. These sectors include EVs, robotics, flying electric vehicles, satellite services and drug discovery. None of the Investees appears to offer enough appreciation potential in its own right to move the needle materially for Palantir’s valuation. Palantir’s ownership stake ranges from 0.4% to 1.6%.It remains unclear how much of each company’s funding can be spent on Palantir’s software. Furthermore, it is not clear if the $19 million of revenue through Q3 2021 from these companies is sustainable.I have highlighted in blue Palantir’s total investment of $150 million in the seven companies. The yellow highlighted cell represents the current valuation of the investments. Palantir is now down approximately $64 million on these seven companies alone. This highlights an extreme risk for this method of customer acquisition as the capital losses to date dwarf the revenue generated. There are other private company investments not listed above, however, Palantir does not break out the details. They are included in other assets on Palantir’s balance sheet which amounted to $116 million as of Q3 2021.The following table displays Palantir’s commitments to invest in new companies as of Q3 2021. I have highlighted in yellow the two companies that Palantir funded subsequent to the end of Q3 2021.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted in blue the total funding commitment for new investments as of Q3 2021. This is $252 million on top of the $150 million completed prior to the end of Q3. While I have not looked into these particular companies, they appear similar to the first seven investments reviewed above. Meaning, they appear to carry extreme capital risk with upside potential that is likely to be minimal when compared to the valuation upside inherent in Palantir’s software business. It should be noted that recent valuations were extreme and continue to contract rapidly. As a result, the timing risk for capital loss is also heightened by making the investments at the top of the VC/IPO cycle.Financial PerformanceTurning to Palantir’s recent performance, I have chosen to view sales growth excluding the Investees as this is the most likely sustainable growth trajectory. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC. I made an adjustment by removing Investee revenue to arrive at a net revenue figure.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted in yellow the 29% revenue growth in Q3 2021 after removing the Investee revenue. Investees added 6.5% to growth in Q3. Year-to-date, the Investee revenue accounted for 1.7% revenue growth. The 29% growth rate is already decelerating beneath the company’s 30% growth guidance through mid-decade. Keep in mind that the Investee revenue stream will grow with additional funding of Palantir’s investment commitments. Regardless, growth is decelerating rapidly at 29% in Q3 compared to 41% year-to-date excluding these non-arm’s-length sales.Geographic & Segment SalesThe sales slowdown is being led by France, which contracted 22% through the first three quarters of 2021 (highlighted in orange below). It should be noted that Palantir has had a material relationship with Airbus and the airline industry. This could be a negative read through for an important client and industry. While the US remained the best performer in Q3 2021, growth is slowing rapidly as is evidenced by the blue highlighted cells below. The table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q filed with the SEC.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn addition to France, the rest of the world is also slowing rapidly, from 45% through the first nine months of the year to 20% in Q3 2021. Please note that these are reported sales without any adjustments. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and highlights that the large sales slowdown in Q3 occurred in the Government segment. Please keep in mind that the Investee revenue is included in the figures below and added approximately 6.5% to the Q3 growth rate in the Commercial segment.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn summary, the Commercial segment is growing revenue rather steadily, approximately 29% excluding the Investee revenue. However, the Government segment is decelerating rapidly, from 57% through the first nine months of 2021 to 34% in Q3.Gross Profit & KPIPalantir’s unusual customer acquisition strategy predates the shift to Investees. The company’s sales and marketing expenses appear to be quite similar to the cost of goods sold for other companies. This is the case because Palantir offers prospective customers free pilot programs as opposed to requiring payment upfront for use of its software. Sales and marketing personnel execute the pilot programs and coordinate solution development in order to generate sales. The following quote from the Q3 2021 10-Q summarizes the situation:Sales and marketing costs primarily include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, and benefits for our sales force and personnel involved in executing on pilots and customer growth activities...As a result, I view the sales and marketing expense in the case of Palantir to be a cost of goods sold and reduction to gross margin. While this categorization does not affect the bottom line, it does serve to place the reported 78% gross margin in context.I believe this perspective on sales and marketing expense is helpful in thinking about Palantir’s business model in relation to other companies and relative valuations that rely on gross profit margins. The following table was compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q and displays the reported cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense adjusted by removing the related stock-based compensation expense from each line item.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxNotice that the adjusted gross profit growth has slowed considerably to 25% in Q3 (highlighted in blue in the lower portion of the table) compared to 59% through the first nine months of 2021 (highlighted in yellow). The cost of sales is rising rapidly in Q3 2021 compared to the first nine months of the year.Palantir utilizes one KPI or Key Performance Indicator to judge performance and inform decision-making, which is referred to as Contribution Margin. It is similar to my adjusted gross margin figure above as can be seen in the following table compiled from Palantir’s Q3 2021 10-Q.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxNotice that the contribution row is remarkably similar to my adjusted gross profit row in the previous table. Additionally, the growth rate deceleration is similar, as can be seen in the highlighted cells. While 37% is materially different from my estimate of 25% growth, the step change lower from 64% is of similar amplitude.Operating IncomeTurning to operating income, I have adjusted the reported figures once again by removing stock option-related expenses as well as one-off expenses pertaining to the direct listing IPO in 2020. The overriding message is once again one of rapid deceleration. The following table was compiled from the same SEC filing and displays operating expenses excluding sales and marketing expenses, as well as my adjusted operating income estimate.Source: Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxIn the lower section of the table, notice the incredible deceleration in adjusted operating income to 40% growth in Q3 of 2021 compared to 266% growth through the first nine months of the year. General and administrative expenses accelerated rapidly in Q3 2021, while Palantir materially reduced research and development investment to just 5% growth in Q3.The research and development investment slowdown could be a negative read through for sales growth as R&D is an integral part of the sales process. Research and development expenses should track the sales cycle through the three customer phases: Acquire, Expand, and Scale. As customer needs are identified by sales and marketing, research and development expenses should respond to increased future sales potential. This does not appear to be happening at the moment.As of Q3 2021, Palantir is annualizing at an adjusted operating income run rate of approximately $300 to $320 million, or about $.16 per share. This is a before-tax operating income figure. The primary takeaway from the operating income front is that profitability is slowing rapidly. This provides additional color for the unusual Investee customer acquisition strategy being deployed.Consensus Growth EstimatesIf Palantir is producing at a $320 million adjusted annual operating income run rate and it was taxed at a normalized 25% rate, the current earnings power would be in the $240 million range or $.12 per diluted share. With this information and the growth deceleration outlined above, we can begin to put consensus earnings estimates into context. The following table was compiled from Seeking Alpha and displays consensus earnings and revenue estimates through 2023.Source: Seeking Alpha. Created by Brian Kapp, stoxdoxI have highlighted the 2022 consensus estimates for earnings and sales growth. Notice that the 39% consensus earnings growth estimate for 2022 is in line with the 40% operating income growth posted in Q3 of 2021. Additionally, the sales growth estimate of 30% is just above the 29% adjusted sales growth in Q3 2021 excluding sales to Investees.The 39% earnings growth expected for 2022 appears to be at material risk of being too high given the rapid slowdown in operating income to 40% in Q3 2021 compared to 266% through the first nine months of the year. This trajectory would likely place earnings growth for 2022 well below 39%.The 30% sales growth estimate for 2022 looks to be achievable given Palantir’s aggressive investment strategy in regard to Investees who then purchase Palantir software. I believe the market will tend to discount Investee sales as I have. Excluding these sales, the revenue growth trajectory appears to be trending closer to 20% than 30% for 2022, which opens the door to further growth disappointment.Looking to consensus estimates for 2023, the expected growth rates are remarkably similar to 2022. This straight-line growth forecast through 2023 adds to the risk that consensus estimates could be too high over the coming years. The current trajectory points to growth materially below that expected for 2022 and 2023.ValuationPalantir is trading at 87x the consensus earnings estimate for 2021 and 62x that for 2022. Please keep in mind that these are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings estimates. On a GAAP basis, Palantir continues to produce at a loss. The reported loss in Q3 2021 was $92 million and was $352 million through the first nine months of 2021.Using the non-GAAP earnings estimates, 87x current year earnings and 62x forward earnings are extreme valuations from a historical market perspective. That said, they are within the realm of possibility for a growth stock in recent years. When viewed against Palantir’s rapidly slowing sales and operating income growth rates, as well as the heightened risk that consensus estimates may be too high, the current valuation multiples on consensus estimates offer little margin for error.On the sales front, Palantir is valued at 17x the consensus 2021 revenue estimate and 13x that for 2022. These are extreme price-to-sales multiples for a large-cap company from a historical perspective. My estimate of core sales growth trending toward 20% excluding Investee revenue suggests that these valuation multiples on sales also offer little margin for error.The valuation risks are further elevated when combined with the rapidly slowing operating income growth. Furthermore, as can be seen in my adjusted gross margin figure growing at 25% as of Q3 2021, the Palantir business model may not be supportive of a historically extreme price-to-sales valuation.TechnicalsWhile the fundamental backdrop points toward little margin for error and subdued excess return potential, the technical setup suggests more meaningful upside return potential. The following 3-year weekly chart offers a bird’s eye view of the potential technical return spectrum. I have highlighted the key resistance levels with orange horizontal lines and the primary support level with a green line.Palantir 3-year weekly chart. (Created by Brian Kapp using a chart from Barchart.com)The return potential to the nearest resistance levels of $19 and $22 is 43% and 65%, respectively. On the downside, the nearest support lies at the IPO price range near $10. The downside return potential to this level is -25%. It should be noted that Palantir’s short trading history of 16 months limits the usefulness of technical analysis. Additionally, with no trading history beneath the IPO price, it is unclear where support will be found if the $10 level is breached to the downside.To estimate downside potential beneath $10, I apply an earnings multiple of 40x the 2022 non-GAAP consensus earnings estimate. This valuation is twice that of the current market averages and would place Palantir shares at $8. This represents -40% downside risk from current levels.If the 39% consensus earnings estimate for 2022 is too high, further downside from $8 is in the realm of possibility. To estimate the downside risk potential if estimates are too high, I apply the same 40x non-GAAP earnings to my estimate of Palantir’s current annual run rate for fully-taxed, non-GAAP profitability. If earnings growth comes in at 25% for 2022 (my estimate of adjusted gross profit growth as of Q3 2021) on top of my estimate of $.12 for the current annual run rate of adjusted earnings after tax, the shares could trade down to $6. This would represent downside risk of -55%.The following daily chart provides a closer look at the technical backdrop.The technical picture suggests heavy resistance between $19 and $22. Given the unrelenting downtrend over the past three months, a near-term bounce is likely. That said, the upside technical potential combined with the downside fundamental potential leaves the shares with a balanced potential return spectrum of 65% to -55% over the near term.SummaryAll told, Palantir should be placed on the watchlist for high-risk growth investors. The long-term opportunity lies in becoming a foundational enterprise operating system capable of integrating structured and unstructured data for real-time intelligence. However, with notable red flags in the mix, caution is in order. The primary red flags include slowing sales, an unusual go-to-market shift, rapidly decelerating profitability, and an elevated valuation which offers limited margin for error. The resulting symmetry between risk and reward results in a neutral rating.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLTR":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1120,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":872877461,"gmtCreate":1637492877665,"gmtModify":1637492916847,"author":{"id":"4087870165979230","authorId":"4087870165979230","name":"crystaly","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087870165979230","idStr":"4087870165979230"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/872877461","repostId":"1156888846","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156888846","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1637465976,"share":"https://www.laohunote.com/m/news/1156888846?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-21 11:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Ford Is Terminating Its Joint EV Development Plan With Rivian?<blockquote>福特为何终止与Rivian的联合电动汽车开发计划？</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156888846","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Ford Motor Company, which is one of the early backers of EV startup Rivian Automotive, Inc., is shel","content":"<p><div> Ford Motor Company, which is one of the early backers of EV startup Rivian Automotive, Inc., is shelving its plan to develop an EV with the latter altogether.

In early 2020, the companies said they are shelving the plans for a Lincoln-branded EV but would go ahead with an alternative vehicle based on Rivian technology.\nThe Ford CEO suggested in the interview that the company is now increasingly confident in competing in the EV space by itself. Another handicap that forced the going-solo decision was the complexities involved in integrating the hardware and software together.\nWhy It's Important:Rivian shares debuted on Wall Street on Nov. 10 following aninitial public offeringat a bumper valuation of over $100 billion. The company's strong debut and the subsequent run up in shares have raised eyebrows over its valuation which has taken it past the market capitalization of legacy U.S. automakers, including Ford.\nRivian's product pipeline consists of RIT, an EV pickup truck, which it began delivering to customers in September. As of Oct. 30, the company produced 180 R1Ts and delivered 156 R1Ts, with the bulk of them going to the company's employees.\nThe company noted that at the end of October, it had preorders of about 55,400 R1Ts and R1Ss. It expects to fill the preorder backlog by the end of 2023.\nFord, for its part, has doubled on itsEV strategyand invested big dollars into its transition toward EVs.\n\"We respect Rivian and have had extensive exploratory discussions with them, however, both sides have agreed not to pursue any kind of joint vehicle development or platform sharing,\" Ford said in an emailed statement to media.\nRivian, meanwhile, confirmed that it is a mutual decision to focus on each of their own projects and deliveries, given Ford has scaled its own EV strategy and demand for Rivian vehicles has grown.\n\"Our relationship with Ford is an important part of our journey, and Ford remains an investor and ally on our shared path to an electrified future\" a Rivian spokesperson said.\nRivian closed Friday's session up 4.23% at $128.60, while Ford closed down 0.87% at $19.39.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"F":0.9,"RIVN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":598,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":821646519,"gmtCreate":1633743395749,"gmtModify":1633743396455,"author":{"id":"4087870165979230","authorId":"4087870165979230","name":"crystaly","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087870165979230","idStr":"4087870165979230"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/821646519","repostId":"1100565546","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100565546","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1633734823,"share":"https://www.laohunote.com/m/news/1100565546?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-09 07:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 ends lower after U.S. September jobs miss<blockquote>美国 9 月份就业岗位未达预期后标普500收低</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100565546","media":"Reuters","summary":" - The S&P 500 ended lower on Friday after data showed weaker jobs growth than expected in September, yet investors still expected the Federal Reserve to begin tapering asset purchases this year.Wall Street’s three main indexes were mixed for much of the session before losing ground toward the end.

The Fed last week upgraded its core PCE inflation projection for this year to 3.7% from 3.0% back in June.\nThe U.S. central bank said it would likely begin reducing its monthly bond purchases as soon as November and signaled interest rate increases may follow more quickly than expected.\nFed Chair Jerome Powell told lawmakers on Thursday that he anticipated some relief from high inflation in the months ahead.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":587,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":608094300,"gmtCreate":1638579180686,"gmtModify":1638579180818,"author":{"id":"4087870165979230","authorId":"4087870165979230","name":"crystaly","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087870165979230","idStr":"4087870165979230"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/608094300","repostId":"2188853578","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":653,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":888090814,"gmtCreate":1631411487238,"gmtModify":1631887867014,"author":{"id":"4087870165979230","authorId":"4087870165979230","name":"crystaly","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087870165979230","idStr":"4087870165979230"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/888090814","repostId":"2166772293","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":683,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179716055,"gmtCreate":1626576680277,"gmtModify":1633925744350,"author":{"id":"4087870165979230","authorId":"4087870165979230","name":"crystaly","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087870165979230","idStr":"4087870165979230"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Hi, pls help to like","listText":"Hi, pls help to like","text":"Hi, pls help to like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179716055","repostId":"1183956332","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":676,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
