sinking.</p><p><blockquote>如果科技行业继续下滑，“归咎于比特币”可能会成为一个新的口号。</blockquote></p><p>Semiconductor makerNvidia(ticker: NVDA) was down 8.2%, at $532.3, in recent trading amid a broader rout in the tech-heavyNasdaq Compositeindex. The chip stock stands out because the company issueda strong earnings reportWednesday, including a lift from products related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.</p><p><blockquote>半导体制造商英伟达（股票代码：NVDA）在最近的交易中下跌8.2%，至532.3美元，以科技股为主的纳斯达克综合指数普遍暴跌。该芯片股之所以脱颖而出，是因为该公司周三发布了强劲的收益报告，其中包括比特币和其他加密货币相关产品的提振。</blockquote></p><p>Payments app&nbsp;Square(SQ), meanwhile, also continued its slide, down 4.3%, at $227.11. The company’srelatively strong&nbsp;earnings report on Tuesday included investments and operational gains from Bitcoin, and the firm said it plans to “double down” on the digital coin. That may be weighing on the stock, which is down nearly 20% in the last few sessions as&nbsp;Bitcoin prices have slumped.</p><p><blockquote>与此同时，支付应用Square(SQ)也继续下滑，下跌4.3%，至227.11美元。该公司周二发布的相对强劲的收益报告包括来自比特币的投资和运营收益，该公司表示计划“加倍投资”数字硬币。这可能会给该股带来压力，随着比特币股价暴跌，该股在过去几个交易日下跌了近20%。</blockquote></p><p>Tech is under pressure for other reasons: Steep valuations have made the sector vulnerable to weakness in company forecasts. Rising bond yields pose a threat by pressuring the present value of future cash flows. Big Tech is also a crowded trade that could be losing favor as investors look for more-cyclical exposure or sectors with lower valuations.</p><p><blockquote>科技股面临压力还有其他原因：估值过高使得该行业容易受到公司预测疲软的影响。债券收益率上升会给未来现金流的现值带来压力，从而构成威胁。大型科技公司也是一个拥挤的行业，随着投资者寻找更具周期性的投资或估值较低的行业，它可能会失去青睐。</blockquote></p><p>But the trading patterns in Nvidia, Square,Tesla(TSLA), and other stocks may also be a sign of Bitcoin’s growing influence. Companies are plowing capital into Bitcoin directly and related products and services, expanding exposure at a time when prices have skyrocketed more than 350% in the past year. Despite its recent slide, Bitcoin is still up 67% this year.</p><p><blockquote>但英伟达、Square、特斯拉(TSLA)和其他股票的交易模式也可能是比特币影响力日益增强的标志。公司正在将资本直接投入比特币以及相关产品和服务，在过去一年价格飙升超过350%之际扩大风险敞口。尽管最近有所下滑，但比特币今年仍上涨了67%。</blockquote></p><p>Crypto is&nbsp;certainly gathering momentum.Mastercard&nbsp;(MA) said this month that it would start supporting cryptocurrencies directly on its network, noting that many consumers are already using cards to buy crypto assets. But it would still be a stretch to turn Bitcoin into a viable currency for everyday purchases, a&nbsp;Mastercard&nbsp;executive noted at a conference on Thursday.</p><p><blockquote>加密货币无疑正在积聚动力。万事达卡（MA）本月表示，将开始直接在其网络上支持加密货币，并指出许多消费者已经在使用信用卡购买加密资产。但万事达卡高管在周四的一次会议上指出，将比特币变成一种可行的日常购物货币仍然是一个挑战。</blockquote></p><p>“Bitcoin doesn’t behave like a payment instrument,” said Mastercard Executive Vice Chair Ann Cairns, according to a&nbsp;report&nbsp;on MarketWatch. “It’s too volatile and it takes too long to transact.”</p><p><blockquote>据MarketWatch报道，万事达卡执行副主席安·凯恩斯(Ann Cairns)表示：“比特币的行为不像一种支付工具。”“波动性太大，交易时间太长。”</blockquote></p><p>Whether it becomes an asset class or payment instrument, the rise (and potential fall) of Bitcoin is ripping through corners of tech, banking, and other sectors.</p><p><blockquote>无论是成为一种资产类别还是支付工具，比特币的崛起（以及潜在的衰落）正在席卷科技、银行和其他行业。</blockquote></p><p>Nvidia, for instance, issued animpressiveearnings report, as<i>Barron’s</i>noted. But it’s also becoming more of a crypto play.</p><p><blockquote>例如，英伟达发布了一份令人印象深刻的收益报告，<i>巴伦周刊</i>注意到。但它也变得更像是一种加密游戏。</blockquote></p><p>The company said crypto may have had a $100 million to $300 million positive impact in the quarter. The firm is launching a new line of cryptocurrency mining processors, or CMPs, for professional crypto-mining.</p><p><blockquote>该公司表示，加密货币在本季度可能产生了1亿至3亿美元的积极影响。该公司正在推出一系列新的加密货币挖掘处理器（CMP），用于专业的加密挖掘。</blockquote></p><p>“Cryptocurrencies have recently started to be accepted by companies and financial institutions and show increased signs of staying power,” Nvidia told investors. Its new line of CMPs will give the firm more visibility into the contribution of crypto to revenue, the company added.</p><p><blockquote>英伟达告诉投资者：“加密货币最近开始被公司和金融机构接受，并显示出持久力的迹象。”该公司补充说，其新的CMP系列将使公司更好地了解加密货币对收入的贡献。</blockquote></p><p>Some analysts are questioning the sustainability of the trend.Piper Sandler’s Harsh Kumarreiterated an Overweight rating on the shares, for instance, but cautioned about Nvidia’s growing exposure to crypto.</p><p><blockquote>一些分析师质疑这一趋势的可持续性。例如，Piper Sandler的Harsh Kumar重申了跑赢大盘对该股的评级，但对英伟达对加密货币的敞口不断增加提出警告。</blockquote></p><p>“With cryptocurrency entering the picture again, the delineation between crypto and core gaming upside is blurred,” he writes. “We feel investors may question the sustainability of these trends, particularly given the cryptocurrency issues in the past.”</p><p><blockquote>“随着加密货币再次出现，加密货币和核心游戏优势之间的界限变得模糊，”他写道。“我们认为投资者可能会质疑这些趋势的可持续性，特别是考虑到过去的加密货币问题。”</blockquote></p><p>Payments app Square, as noted above, is also now squarely in the Bitcoin debate. While core business trends are looking healthy, investors may be concerned that Square is expanding into crypto as prices peak. The company purchased $170 million of Bitcoin in the quarter, on top of $50 million previously purchased, and is marketing its Cash App as a mechanism to buy, store, and eventually transact with the cryptocurrency.</p><p><blockquote>如上所述，支付应用Square现在也直接卷入了比特币的争论。虽然核心业务趋势看起来很健康，但投资者可能担心随着价格见顶，Square正在向加密领域扩张。该公司在之前购买了5000万美元的基础上，在本季度购买了1.7亿美元的比特币，并正在将其Cash应用程序作为购买、存储并最终交易加密货币的机制进行营销。</blockquote></p><p>Wall Street has mixed views on that idea. Competitors like&nbsp;PayPal Holdings(PYPL) are also plowing into Bitcoin, along with other “neobbank” competitors, notes&nbsp;JMP analyst David Scharf. That raises questions about the long-term “stickiness” of Cash App and whether its growth can be sustained.</p><p><blockquote>华尔街对这一想法看法不一。JMP分析师David Scharf指出，PayPal控股公司(PYPL)等竞争对手以及其他“新银行”竞争对手也在进军比特币。这引发了人们对Cash App长期“粘性”以及其增长能否持续的质疑。</blockquote></p><p>Indeed, Cash App now accounts for about half of Square’s gross profits, and the company is counting on Bitcoin to fuel demand. That is making Square stock a kind of derivative on Bitcoin; shares have been increasingly correlated to the price of Bitcoin over the past year, and the relationship may only be getting tighter.</p><p><blockquote>事实上，Cash App现在约占Square毛利润的一半，该公司指望比特币来刺激需求。这使得Square股票成为比特币的一种衍生品；过去一年，股价与比特币股价的相关性越来越大，而且这种关系可能只会变得越来越紧密。</blockquote></p><p>Square stock also may not be fully accounting for the volatility of Bitcoin, which has had several boom-bust cycles. At around 100 estimated 2022 Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), the stock looks fully valued, according to Scharf, who maintained a Market Perform rating.</p><p><blockquote>Square的股票也可能没有完全考虑到比特币的波动性，该公司已经经历了几个繁荣-萧条周期。Scharf表示，该股预计2022年Ebitda（息税折旧摊销前利润）约为100，看起来估值已充分，他维持了市场表现评级。</blockquote></p><p></p><p>Guggenheim’s Jeff Cantwell&nbsp;took the opposite side of that debate. He upgraded Square stock to a Buy on Thursday, partly on an upbeat outlook for Bitcoin. “We think Bitcoin is on a long-term trajectory higher,” he writes, adding that it should drive an increase in Cash App usage and other metrics.</p><p><blockquote>古根海姆博物馆的杰夫·坎特威尔站在了这场辩论的对立面。周四，他将Square股票评级上调至买入，部分原因是比特币前景乐观。他写道：“我们认为比特币正处于长期走高的轨道上。”他补充说，这应该会推动现金应用程序使用量和其他指标的增加。</blockquote></p><p>He doesn’t see Bitcoin becoming a currency used for mainstream purchases anytime soon. But that’s beside the point, he notes, since Bitcoin is turning into “digital gold”—a store of value and an asset class. There are 50 million digital Bitcoin wallets globally, a large and growing user base, he notes. Square is doing its part to take Bitcoin mainstream.</p><p><blockquote>他认为比特币不会很快成为用于主流购买的货币。但他指出，这无关紧要，因为比特币正在变成“数字黄金”——一种价值储存手段和一种资产类别。他指出，全球有5000万个数字比特币钱包，用户群庞大且不断增长。Square正在尽自己的一份力量将比特币纳入主流。</blockquote></p><p>Cantwell sees Square stock hitting $288. Bitcoin may have to do its part for the stock to get there, too.</p><p><blockquote>Cantwell预计Square股价将达到288美元。比特币可能也必须尽自己的一份力量让股票达到这一目标。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Bitcoin May Be Weighing on Tech Stocks Again<blockquote>比特币可能再次打压科技股</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\">\nBitcoin May Be Weighing on Tech Stocks Again<blockquote>比特币可能再次打压科技股</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">Barrons</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-02-26 11:52</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>“Blame it on Bitcoin” may be a new catchphrase if the tech sector keeps sinking.</p><p><blockquote>如果科技行业继续下滑，“归咎于比特币”可能会成为一个新的口号。</blockquote></p><p>Semiconductor makerNvidia(ticker: NVDA) was down 8.2%, at $532.3, in recent trading amid a broader rout in the tech-heavyNasdaq Compositeindex.

The chip stock stands out because the company issueda strong earnings reportWednesday, including a lift from products related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.Payments app Square(SQ), meanwhile, also continued its slide, down 4.3%, at $227.11. The company’srelatively strong earnings report on Tuesday included investments and operational gains from Bitcoin, and the firm said it plans to “double down” on the digital coin. That may be weighing on the stock, which is down nearly 20% in the last few sessions as Bitcoin prices have slumped.Tech is under pressure for other reasons: Steep valuations have made the sector vulnerable to weakness in company forecasts. Rising bond yields pose a threat by pressuring the present value of future cash flows. Big Tech is also a crowded trade that could be losing favor as investors look for more-cyclical exposure or sectors with lower valuations.But the trading patterns in Nvidia, Square,Tesla(TSLA), and other stocks may also be a sign of Bitcoin’s growing influence. Companies are plowing capital into Bitcoin directly and related products and services, expanding exposure at a time when prices have skyrocketed more than 350% in the past year. Despite its recent slide, Bitcoin is still up 67% this year.Crypto is certainly gathering momentum.Mastercard (MA) said this month that it would start supporting cryptocurrencies directly on its network, noting that many consumers are already using cards to buy crypto assets. But it would still be a stretch to turn Bitcoin into a viable currency for everyday purchases, a Mastercard executive noted at a conference on Thursday.“Bitcoin doesn’t behave like a payment instrument,” said Mastercard Executive Vice Chair Ann Cairns, according to a report on MarketWatch. “It’s too volatile and it takes too long to transact.”Whether it becomes an asset class or payment instrument, the rise (and potential fall) of Bitcoin is ripping through corners of tech, banking, and other sectors.Nvidia, for instance, issued animpressiveearnings report, asBarron’snoted. But it’s also becoming more of a crypto play.The company said crypto may have had a $100 million to $300 million positive impact in the quarter. The firm is launching a new line of cryptocurrency mining processors, or CMPs, for professional crypto-mining.“Cryptocurrencies have recently started to be accepted by companies and financial institutions and show increased signs of staying power,” Nvidia told investors. Its new line of CMPs will give the firm more visibility into the contribution of crypto to revenue, the company added.Some analysts are questioning the sustainability of the trend.Piper Sandler’s Harsh Kumarreiterated an Overweight rating on the shares, for instance, but cautioned about Nvidia’s growing exposure to crypto.“With cryptocurrency entering the picture again, the delineation between crypto and core gaming upside is blurred,” he writes. “We feel investors may question the sustainability of these trends, particularly given the cryptocurrency issues in the past.”Payments app Square, as noted above, is also now squarely in the Bitcoin debate. While core business trends are looking healthy, investors may be concerned that Square is expanding into crypto as prices peak. The company purchased $170 million of Bitcoin in the quarter, on top of $50 million previously purchased, and is marketing its Cash App as a mechanism to buy, store, and eventually transact with the cryptocurrency.Wall Street has mixed views on that idea. Competitors like PayPal Holdings(PYPL) are also plowing into Bitcoin, along with other “neobbank” competitors, notes JMP analyst David Scharf. That raises questions about the long-term “stickiness” of Cash App and whether its growth can be sustained.Indeed, Cash App now accounts for about half of Square’s gross profits, and the company is counting on Bitcoin to fuel demand.

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.\nThe primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.\nA surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.\nThe company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.\n‘Gamma squeeze’\nA call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.\nBuying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.\nBut the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.\nGameStop shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares.
