That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.</p><p><blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，名列前茅的是 Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过几次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内买入并持有。该公司是一家金融科技颠覆者，而且发展势头迅猛。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益， 并且没有表现出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但及时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳请我们的追随者从长远考虑，并相信该公司将增长到其拉伸估值。当股价接近 200 美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote></p><p> Q2 earnings were solid</p><p><blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote></p><p> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.</p><p><blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入就一直在飙升。在刚刚公布的季度中，净收入为 46.8 亿美元，同比增长 143%，令人难以置信。剔除比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但你可以看到比特币资产对公司有多重要。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote></p><p> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit</p><p><blockquote>交易收入激增，但请关注 GPV 毛利润</blockquote></p><p> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.</p><p><blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square 处理了 428 亿美元的 GPV，同比增长 88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。华尔街也可能会抓住wasa的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东基础并引发抛售。我们欢迎出售并鼓励购买。</blockquote></p><p> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到 6.85 亿美元，毛利润为 5.61 亿美元，同比增长 90%。请记住，收购 TIDAL 是本季度的一大推动，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote></p><p> Cash App and Bitcoin</p><p><blockquote>现金应用程序和比特币</blockquote></p><p> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.</p><p><blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。现金应用程序创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时提供了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。收入增长177%，毛利润几乎翻了一番。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App 收入为 6.06 亿美元，同比增长 87%。</blockquote></p><p> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.</p><p><blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下降。它不稳定。波动性有助于交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计利润将更加积极。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。Square的比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App 在第二季度带来了 27.2 亿美元的比特币收入和 5500 万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增加了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote></p><p> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:</p><p><blockquote>该公司本身正在筹集资金，将其直接投资于拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote></p><p> <i>In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.</i> As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business</p><p><blockquote><i>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们在比特币分别投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为无限期使用的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期内低于其账面价值，则会产生减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了 4500 万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，基于可观察市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。</i>正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币价格略有相关性。但是大部分业务还是以交易为主，我们甚至还没有触及小企业</blockquote></p><p> Small business is coming back</p><p><blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote></p><p></p><p> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.</p><p><blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小企业。现在COVID危机正在改善，世界正在重新开放，他们正在回来。小企业作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，贡献了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再一次，稳健增长。</blockquote></p><p> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining</p><p><blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并没有抱怨</blockquote></p><p> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.</p><p><blockquote>我们不会抱怨一家处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司盈利为正。虽然 FWD 市盈率超过 100 或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为 2.04 亿美元。他们通过出售 DoorDash 投资确实获得了 7700 万美元的收益。扣除净利润为 1.73 亿美元以及上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的巨大增长相称，但这些费用控制得越多，收益就越好。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Nice to see EPS growing</b></p><p><blockquote><b>很高兴看到每股收益增长</b></blockquote></p><p> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.</p><p><blockquote>总体而言，基本每股净利润为 0.45 美元。如果我们放弃 DoorDash 出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为 0.39 美元，而调整后 EBITDA 为 3.6 亿美元，较一年前的 9800 万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为 0.66 美元，比一年前大幅增长 0.48 美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote></p><p> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting</p><p><blockquote>新收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote></p><p> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.</p><p><blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square 同意以 290 亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为库存）收购澳大利亚的 Afterpay (OTCPK:AFTPF)，以增加“先买后付”功能。虽然 Afterpay 股东可以以现金形式获得部分股份，但总体而言，Square 为 Afterpay 支付的每股费用约为 125 澳元，即 30% 的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到 2022 年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay 股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近 20% 的股份。这是一笔巨大的交易。但Afterpay已经有了自己的巨大增长，并越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为 Square 用户带来的功能具有增值作用，该公司将在 2022 年立即受益。有关 Afterpay 的更多信息，我们推荐此处阅读此专栏。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Take home</b></p><p><blockquote><b>带回家</b></blockquote></p><p> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.</p><p><blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，名列前茅的是 Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过几次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内买入并持有。该公司是一家金融科技颠覆者，而且发展势头迅猛。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益， 并且没有表现出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但及时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳请我们的追随者从长远考虑，并相信该公司将增长到其拉伸估值。当股价接近 200 美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote></p><p> Q2 earnings were solid</p><p><blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote></p><p> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off.

Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year.

Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at.

While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022.

The CEO rejoined Intel in February with a mandate to revitalize the company after previously serving as its chief technology officer.</p><p><blockquote>“盖尔辛格先生说：”我们正在加快创新路线图，以确保到 2025 年，我们在流程绩效领导力方面走在一条清晰的道路上。这位首席执行官在此前担任首席技术官后，于二月份重新加入英特尔，其任务是重振公司。</blockquote></p><p> The plan signals that Intel doesn’t believe in the near-term demise of Moore’s Law even as chip-making becomes more costly and technically difficult.</p><p><blockquote>该计划表明，即使芯片制造成本越来越高，技术难度也越来越大，英特尔也不相信摩尔定律会在短期内消亡。</blockquote></p><p> The company reiterated its intention to release a new CPU for desktop computers this year and one for servers in the first quarter of 2022. Intel earlier this year delayed introducing the server chip to add features, signaling that the path to recovery isn’t without challenges.</p><p><blockquote>该公司重申打算今年发布一款用于台式电脑的新 CPU，并在 2022 年第一季度发布一款用于服务器的新 CPU。英特尔今年早些时候推迟了服务器芯片的推出，以增加功能，这表明复苏之路并非没有挑战。</blockquote></p><p> Intel said it plans its next round of personal-computer and server processors in 2023. Those, it said, would fully embrace a new form of circuit-printing called extreme ultraviolet lithography—the kind of cutting-edge tooling needed to produce the tiniest transistors, each a fraction of the width of an average human hair. Transistors are the building blocks of chips, and billions of them are needed to make calculations inside modern laptops, desktop computers and computer servers.</p><p><blockquote>英特尔表示，计划在2023年推出下一轮个人电脑和服务器处理器。报告称，这些将完全接受一种称为极紫外线光刻的新型电路印刷形式——这种尖端工具可以生产最小的晶体管，每个晶体管的宽度只有普通人头发丝的一小部分。晶体管是芯片的组成部分，现代笔记本电脑、台式计算机和计算机服务器内部需要数十亿个晶体管来进行计算。</blockquote></p><p> Further performance improvements and innovations in transistor design should follow through 2025, Intel said.</p><p><blockquote>英特尔表示，晶体管设计的进一步性能改进和创新将持续到 2025 年。</blockquote></p><p> By that year, the company said it hopes to introduce chips with transistor technology it is calling Intel 18A, a loose reference to its minuscule size—measured in angstroms rather than nanometers, which are currently used to define transistor size. Intel said it is already working on developing the chip.</p><p><blockquote>到那一年，该公司表示希望推出采用晶体管技术的芯片，它称之为英特尔 18A，这是对其微小尺寸的一个松散参考——以埃而不是纳米来衡量，纳米目前用于定义晶体管尺寸。英特尔表示，它已经在致力于开发该芯片。</blockquote></p><p> Ann Kelleher, Intel’s general manager of technology development, said the company is on track to meet its goals, citing its embrace of extreme ultraviolet technology, a more streamlined chip-development process and an openness to innovation coming from outside Intel.</p><p><blockquote>英特尔技术开发总经理安-凯莱赫（Ann Kelleher）表示，公司正在实现目标，并列举了公司采用极紫外线技术、更简化的芯片开发流程以及对英特尔外部创新的开放态度。</blockquote></p><p> Intel is racing with competitors that also are working on increasingly sophisticated chips. TSMC already has chips in development with smaller transistors than those featured in its currently leading-edge processors.</p><p><blockquote>英特尔正在与竞争对手竞争，这些竞争对手也在开发日益复杂的芯片。台积电已经在开发晶体管比其目前领先处理器中采用的晶体管更小的芯片。</blockquote></p><p> Rebuilding Intel’s chip design and production process is only part of Mr. Gelsinger’s plan to revitalize the company. While Intel remains America’s largest chip company by sales,Nvidia Corp. has surpassed it in valuation. Known for its graphics chips, Nvidia has become an investor darling with its bet on some of the hottest fields in technology, such videogaming and artificial intelligence. The company, along with perennial Intel CPU-rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.,have taken market share from Intel.</p><p><blockquote>重建英特尔的芯片设计和生产流程只是基尔辛格先生振兴公司计划的一部分。虽然英特尔仍然是美国销量最大的芯片公司，但英伟达公司的估值已经超过了它。英伟达以其图形芯片而闻名，凭借对视频游戏和人工智能等一些最热门的技术领域的押注，已成为投资者的宠儿。该公司与英特尔 CPU 的长期竞争对手 Advanced Micro Devices Inc. 一起从英特尔手中夺取了市场份额。</blockquote></p><p> Mr. Gelsinger said in March that Intel would become a leading chip manufacturer,not just for its own needs but also for others. He has committed to investing billions of dollars toward that goal, and Intel is in talks to buy chip-making specialist GlobalFoundries Inc., The Wall Street Journal has reported.</p><p><blockquote>基辛格在3月份表示，英特尔将成为领先的芯片制造商，这不仅是为了自己的需求，也是为了他人的需求。据《华尔街日报》报道，他已承诺为实现这一目标投资数十亿美元，英特尔正在洽谈收购芯片制造专家GlobalFoundries Inc.。</blockquote></p><p> Intel said it had signed mobile-phone chip company Qualcomm Inc. as a customer for chips due for production in 2024. Qualcomm has been a big user of chips made by TSMC and Samsung.</p><p><blockquote>英特尔表示，已与手机芯片公司高通公司签约，成为将于 2024 年生产的芯片客户。高通一直是台积电和三星生产的芯片的大用户。</blockquote></p><p> To help ensure technology hiccups don’t delay its recovery plan and return to the technological high-ground, Intel will monitor progress at every step, Ms. Kelleher said. “In the areas where we have true risk within a process, we absolutely strive to have a Plan B,” she said. “So if Plan A doesn’t work, we can cut over much more easily.”</p><p><blockquote>凯莱赫女士说，为了帮助确保技术问题不会延误其恢复计划并重返技术高地，英特尔将监控每一步的进展。“她说：”在流程中存在真正风险的领域，我们绝对会努力制定 B 计划。“因此，如果 A 计划行不通，我们可以更容易地削减开支”。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The company also said it was adjusting the naming of its newest transistor technology to better reflect industry standards. Intel’s 10-nanometer chips will now be called Intel 7, and its 7-nanometer chips will be called Intel 4. Years ago, cutting-edge transistor-size numbers referred to actual dimensions, but they lost real-world meaning as the structure of transistors changed.</p><p><blockquote>该公司还表示，正在调整其最新晶体管技术的命名，以更好地反映行业标准。英特尔的 10 纳米芯片现在将被称为英特尔 7，7 纳米芯片将被称为英特尔 4。几年前，尖端的晶体管尺寸数字指的是实际尺寸，但随着晶体管结构的变化，它们失去了现实世界的意义。</blockquote></p><p> Mr. Gelsinger is trying to execute the turnaround during an unprecedented chip shortage,brought on by supercharged demand during the Covid-19 pandemic for videogames, laptops and many other devices. The CEO has projected that outsize demand for semiconductors would continue for years, justifying Intel’s manufacturing capacity. The current global shortage of chips, he added, could take until 2023 to be resolved.</p><p><blockquote>基辛格先生正试图在前所未有的芯片短缺期间实现扭亏为盈，这是由于 Covid-19 大流行期间对视频游戏、笔记本电脑和许多其他设备的需求激增造成的。这位首席执行官预测，对半导体的巨大需求将持续数年，这证明了英特尔的生产能力是合理的。他补充说，目前全球芯片短缺的问题可能要到 2023 年才能得到解决。</blockquote></p><p> The situation is also providing somewhat of a tailwind for the company. Intel on Thursday reported second-quarter results that benefited from stronger-than-expected sales in its PC-related chips.</p><p><blockquote>这种情况也为该公司提供了一定的推动力。英特尔周四公布了第二季度业绩，受益于其个人电脑相关芯片销售强于预期。</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>Intel Sets Plan to Again Become World’s Premier Chip Company<blockquote>英特尔计划再次成为世界领先的芯片公司</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIntel Sets Plan to Again Become World’s Premier Chip Company<blockquote>英特尔计划再次成为世界领先的芯片公司</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">The Wall Street Journal</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-07-27 14:51</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>The race is on at Intel Corp.as the semiconductor giant pledges to return to the top of its game, committing to produce the world’s best chips within four years.</p><p><blockquote>英特尔公司（Intel Corp.）的竞争仍在继续，这家半导体巨头承诺将重返行业巅峰，承诺在四年内生产出世界上最好的芯片。</blockquote></p><p> To get there, Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger laid out a plan Monday for the company to introduce at least a new central processing unit—the brains of the modern computer—every year between 2021 and 2025.

However, when questioned at JPMorgan’s recent investor conference, CFO Jim Kavanaugh provided insight into how hybrid cloud drives revenue in some of IBM’s other divisions.</p><p><blockquote>投资者普遍意识到 IBM 通过其混合云产品推动增长的努力。不过，在摩根大通最近举行的投资者大会上，首席财务官吉姆-卡瓦诺（Jim Kavanaugh）在接受提问时，就混合云如何推动 IBM 其他一些部门的收入提出了见解。</blockquote></p><p> For every $1 (in business) we land on a hybrid cloud platform, we see $3 to $5 of software drag and $6 to $8 of services drag overall. Of course, Kavanaugh is using drag to refer to increased revenue in software and services associated with adoption of IBM’s hybrid cloud. If Kavanaugh’s claims are accurate, that means every dollar spent on the company’s hybrid cloud platform translates into $9 to $13 in additional revenue from the firm’s software and services offerings.</p><p><blockquote>我们每在混合云平台上投入1美元（在业务中），就会看到3到5美元的软件拖累和6到8美元的服务拖累。当然，卡瓦诺使用的是 drag 指的是与采用 IBM 混合云相关的软件和服务收入的增加。如果卡瓦诺的说法准确，这意味着在公司混合云平台上花费的每一美元都能从公司的软件和服务产品中获得 9 到 13 美元的额外收入。</blockquote></p><p> Because hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises private cloud and public cloud services, it offers clients a degree of data privacy. This is of particular concern for customers in healthcare and financial services. Consequently, I would posit that IBM might have an advantage in competing with other hybrid cloud providers as it has extensive relationships within those industries.</p><p><blockquote>因为混合云混合使用内部私有云和公共云服务，所以它为客户提供了一定程度的数据隐私。医疗保健和金融服务领域的客户尤其关注这一点。因此，我认为IBM在与其他混合云提供商的竞争中可能具有优势，因为它在这些行业中拥有广泛的关系。</blockquote></p><p> I reviewed a variety of prognostications regarding projected growth rates for the hybrid cloud market.

Of course, Kavanaugh is using drag to refer to increased revenue in software and services associated with adoption of IBM’s hybrid cloud. If Kavanaugh’s claims are accurate, that means every dollar spent on the company’s hybrid cloud platform translates into $9 to $13 in additional revenue from the firm’s software and services offerings.</p><p><blockquote>我们每在混合云平台上投入1美元（在业务中），就会看到3到5美元的软件拖累和6到8美元的服务拖累。当然，卡瓦诺使用的是 drag 指的是与采用 IBM 混合云相关的软件和服务收入的增加。如果卡瓦诺的说法准确，这意味着在公司混合云平台上花费的每一美元都能从公司的软件和服务产品中获得 9 到 13 美元的额外收入。</blockquote></p><p> Because hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises private cloud and public cloud services, it offers clients a degree of data privacy. This is of particular concern for customers in healthcare and financial services. Consequently, I would posit that IBM might have an advantage in competing with other hybrid cloud providers as it has extensive relationships within those industries.</p><p><blockquote>因为混合云混合使用内部私有云和公共云服务，所以它为客户提供了一定程度的数据隐私。医疗保健和金融服务领域的客户尤其关注这一点。因此，我认为IBM在与其他混合云提供商的竞争中可能具有优势，因为它在这些行业中拥有广泛的关系。</blockquote></p><p> I reviewed a variety of prognostications regarding projected growth rates for the hybrid cloud market.

Unfortunately for investors, the transition has been in place for the better part of a decade. Those turnaround efforts include investments in cloud computing and artificial intelligence and the divestiture of legacy businesses. While there are now signs of green shoots, it is yet to be seen as to whether the seeds sown have fallen on rocky ground.\nAlthough the company has a rapidly growing business in hybrid cloud offerings, and a potential growth engine in quantum computing, it faces intense competition in the former industry and uncertain prospects in the latter. Most of the firm’s other businesses are in the doldrums, so IBM’s growth prospects are opaque.\nWhat is certain is that as of today, IBM has a reasonable and diminishing debt load and strong free cash flow.\nManagement is attempting to address growth concerns in part by focusing on the firm’s cloud offerings, while it spins off its managed infrastructure business. That company will be named Kyndryl. However, the debt which the new entity will shoulder, along with the portion of the current dividend that it will carry, has not been divulged.\nRecent Quarterly Results\nIBM reported Q2 results last Monday. With non-GAAP EPS of $2.33, the company beat estimates by $0.04.\nRevenue of $18.7 billion was flat when adjusted for currency and divestitures.\nThe negative side of the report had Systems revenue declining by 7%. However, this was largely due to the normal IBM Z mainframe cycle, down 13% year over year.\nThe global financing division, which represents a low single digit percentage of overall revenues, was down 9%. Global technology services, which represents roughly a third of overall revenue and will largely be spun off as Kyndryl, had flattish growth.\nThe positive side of the report had Cloud & Cognitive Software cloud revenue up 29% and Global Business Services cloud revenue up 35%. Total cloud revenue of $27 billion increased by 15% over the last 12 months, while cloud revenue grew 13% in the quarter to $7.0 billion.\nNet cash from operating activities hit $17.7 billion, and adjusted free cash flow totaled $11 billion over the last 12 months.\nSince year-end 2020, the company has reduced debt by $6.4 billion.\nManagement guides for adjusted free cash flow of $11 billion to $12 billion in 2021.\nWhere IBM Stands Tall\nIBM is viewed by many as at best a third rate IT company and at worst as a dinosaur, headed towards extinction.\nIt is evident that the company’s revenues have declined for years; however, to accurately assess the stock, investors must understand that IBM’s legacy businesses have many strengths.\nFor example, IBM is the world’s largest IT services company and the dominant provider of mainframes. Among the Fortune 50 companies, 47 are IBM clients.\nHalf of the world’s wireless connections are handled by the firm.\nIBM's mainframe systems process nearly 90% of the globe’s credit card transactions, and 97% of the world's largest banks rely on IBM products and services. Consequently, twenty-nine billion ATM transactions are processed annually using IBM systems.\nEight out of 10 global retailers rely on IBM products and services while 80% of the travel industry's reservations run through IBM systems. That results in 4 billion flight reservations being processed using the company’s IT services.\nSource: Forbes\nIt is evident that IBM has a massive customer base that provides large scale recurring revenues. In many cases, moving to competitors' offerings would mean risking the transfer of sensitive information, a move many are not willing to take.\nHowever, with the transition to cloud services and open source software, there is an increased adoption by firms of mix and match IT infrastructures. In turn, this is eroding IBM’s competitive advantage associated with customer switching costs.\nThe Sources Of Potential Growth\nInvestors are generally aware of IBM's effort to drive growth through its hybrid cloud offerings. However, when questioned at JPMorgan’s recent investor conference, CFO Jim Kavanaugh provided insight into how hybrid cloud drives revenue in some of IBM’s other divisions.\n\n For every $1 (in business) we land on a hybrid cloud platform, we see $3 to $5 of software drag and $6 to $8 of services drag overall.\n\nOf course, Kavanaugh is using drag to refer to increased revenue in software and services associated with adoption of IBM’s hybrid cloud. If Kavanaugh’s claims are accurate, that means every dollar spent on the company’s hybrid cloud platform translates into $9 to $13 in additional revenue from the firm’s software and services offerings.\nBecause hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises private cloud and public cloud services, it offers clients a degree of data privacy. This is of particular concern for customers in healthcare and financial services. Consequently, I would posit that IBM might have an advantage in competing with other hybrid cloud providers as it has extensive relationships within those industries.\nI reviewed a variety of prognostications regarding projected growth rates for the hybrid cloud market. The most recent study, which also falls in the middle of other predictions, is by Mordor Intelligence. That firm forecasts a CAGR of 18.73% from 2021 through 2026.\nInvestors should be aware that the major operators in this space are Cisco (CSCO), Hewlett Packard (HPE), Amazon (AMZN), Citrix Systems (CTXS), and IBM.\nThe following chart provides a record of the firm’s total cloud growth over the last six quarters.\nSource: Company reports / Chart by Author\nAside from cloud, there is another source of potential growth, although it is unlikely to materialize soon.\nEarly in 2019, IBM introduced the Q System One. IBM Q systems are the world's first quantum computer designed for scientific and commercial use.\nPardon the pun, but quantum computers represent a quantum leap in technology. Prescient And Strategic Intelligence forecasts a CAGR of 56% for the industry through 2030 with the quantum computer market share reaching nearly $65 billion.\nFor additional insights regarding quantum computing and IBM’s position within that industry, I point you to my article, “IBM: Why My Eye Is Fixed On Big Blue.”\nUnderstanding Kyndryl\nOnce Kyndryl is launched, it will have more than 90,000 employees and more than 4,600 customers in 115 countries. With a $60 billion services backlog, the new entity will begin with projected revenues of $19 billion. At twice the size of its closest competitor, the company will be the world’s largest managed infrastructure services provider.\nThe split will transform IBM from a company that pulls half of its revenue from services to a firm with its software and solutions businesses generating over half of its revenue on a recurring basis.\nGlobal Business Services, which currently constitutes 22% of the company’s revenue, will account for over 40% of sales.

Krishna stated the two companies will work together to sustain the current payout level.\nHas IBM Turned The Corner?\nAnyone who follows IBM knows the company has experienced an extended period of poor results. The following chart provides a record of the firm’s quarterly FCF over the last fourteen quarters.\nSource: Data from ycharts / chart by author\nWhile this is not proof positive that the company is back on track, the recent trend is at least encouraging.\nIn 2020, IBM generated $10.8 billion in free cash flow. Management guides for adjusted free cash flow of $11 billion to $12 billion in 2021. This excludes $3 billion in structural impacts related to the Kyndryl spinoff.\nThe CEO recently stated he expects IBM to generate $12 billion to $13 billion in FCF in 2022.\nDebt And Dividend\nWhile investors can rightfully complain of a variety of management moves over the years, the firm has maintained a reasonable debt profile while engaging in a number of acquisitions.\nThe company has reduced the debt by roughly $18 billion since its peak in mid-2019. IBM maintains an investment level credit rating, and the following chart provides a record of the company’s progress paying down debt of late.\nSource: IBM Presentation\nIBM has a yield of 4.64%, a payout ratio a bit below 61%, and a 5 year dividend growth rate of 4.26%.

The average 12 month price target of 8 analysts is $153.50. The price target of the 3 analysts rating the stock since the last earnings report is $151.33.\nIBM has a P/E of 24.05x and a forward P/E of 17.67x.
