  Are there any bubbles in Apple stock?<blockquote>苹果股票有泡沫吗？</blockquote>
  Apple stock has risen 34% this year, beating the NASDAQ 100 by a wide margin.This has led some to say that the stock is in a bubble, as its price is rising rapidly.However, Apple's stock price gains are about in line with revenue growth, and actually slower than the most recent quarter's EPS growth.In this article, I will develop a bullish thesis on Apple, arguing that it has a wide moat that will power future growth and profitability.Apple Inc. stock has delivered a solid performance in 2021.

(BBY) has remained in a downward trend since the company fell 12% the day after its latest earnings report was released in late November. Despite beating analyst expectations, investors bid down the share prices of Best Buy as analysts expressed fear toward consumer demand and high supply chain costs. Recent market volatility has not provided a foundation on which Best Buy stock can pivot to the upside.</p><p><blockquote><h3>关键要点</h3><ul><li>百思买股票仍处于大幅下跌趋势。</li><li>乍一看，最近的交易量似乎是看涨的，但最近未平仓合约变化的细节似乎是看跌的。</li><li>百思买的股价仍远低于20日移动平均线。</li><li>基于波动性的支撑位和阻力位允许更大的上行。</li></ul>百思买公司(BBY)的股价自11月底发布最新财报后的第二天下跌12%以来，一直处于下跌趋势。尽管超出了分析师的预期，但由于分析师对消费者需求和高供应链成本表示担忧，投资者压低了百思买的股价。最近的市场波动并没有为百思买股票上涨提供基础。</blockquote></p><p> At first glance, it appears thatr option traders are positioned for the Best Buy share price to reverse its recent downward trend. However, a deeper dive into the finer aspects of the Best Buy open interest paints a clearer picture. In addition, aspects of the Best Buy implied volatility suggest that the market is predicting further downside in the near term for Best Buy.</p><p><blockquote>乍一看，期权交易者似乎准备让百思买股价扭转近期的下跌趋势。然而，深入研究百思买未平仓合约的细节可以描绘出一幅更清晰的画面。此外，百思买隐含波动率的各个方面表明，市场预测百思买短期内将进一步下跌。</blockquote></p><p> Whereas recent trading volumes for Best Buy appear bullish at first glance, a more in-depth analysis of recent open interest changes and the impact of implied volatility suggests that option traders are buying put options and selling calls.</p><p><blockquote>尽管百思买最近的交易量乍一看似乎看涨，但对最近未平仓合约变化和隐含波动率影响的更深入分析表明，期权交易者正在买入看跌期权并卖出评级。</blockquote></p><p> Chart watchers can gain valuable insight into the overall sentiment toward Best Buy stock by combining an assessment of recent option activity with technical analysis of share price activity. The chart below depicts the recent price action for the Best Buy share price as of Tuesday, Dec 21.</p><p><blockquote>通过将近期期权活动的评估与股价活动的技术分析相结合，图表观察者可以获得对百思买股票整体情绪的宝贵见解。下图描绘了截至12月21日星期二百思买股价的近期价格走势。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2881b79593f655bc029301a1fe1c433c\" tg-width=\"1722\" tg-height=\"775\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> <h2> Chart Analysis </h2> The chart illustrates the share price action of Best Buy over the course of the past three months. Each candle represents <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> trading day. The blue lines are a historical volatility range formed by 20-day Keltner Channel indicators, which depict price levels that represent a multiple of the average true fange (ATR) for Best Buy stock. ATR is a standard tool for illustrating historical volatility over time. The outer bands of the historical volatility range widened after the earnings-based share price drop and appear to be further pushing outwards to the downside as the share price continues to decline.</p><p><blockquote><h2>图表分析</h2>该图表显示了过去三个月百思买的股价走势。每根蜡烛代表<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">一</a>交易日。蓝线是由20天凯尔特纳通道指标形成的历史波动范围，该指标描述了代表百思买股票平均真实fange(ATR)倍数的价格水平。ATR是说明历史波动性随时间变化的标准工具。在基于盈利的股价下跌后，历史波动区间的外带扩大，并且随着股价继续下跌，似乎正在进一步向外推动下行。</blockquote></p><p> From the left-hand side of the chart, Best Buy stock was in a mild downward trend, trading below its 20-day moving average. This is highlighted by the red arrow. This trend reversed at the beginning of October. This upward trend is highlighted by the green arrow. This helps to highlight the way that Best Buy stock rose to the extreme highs of the volatility range, topping out with its 52-week high the day before releasing earnings in late November.</p><p><blockquote>从图表左侧来看，百思买股票处于温和下跌趋势，交易价格低于20日移动平均线。红色箭头突出显示了这一点。这一趋势在10月初发生了逆转。绿色箭头突出了这种上升趋势。这有助于凸显百思买股票升至波动区间极端高位的方式，并在11月底发布财报的前一天触及52周高点。</blockquote></p><p> After dropping 12% the day after reporting earnings, Best Buy stock has remained in a strong downward trend at the extreme low of the volatility range. This trend is highlighted in blue. It's interesting to note that, at this time, Best Buy stock has failed to trade above its 20-day moving average, even on an intraday basis.</p><p><blockquote>百思买股价在公布财报后第二天下跌12%，目前仍处于波动区间极低水平的强劲下跌趋势。这一趋势以蓝色突出显示。有趣的是，目前百思买股票的交易价格未能突破20日移动平均线，即使是盘中也是如此。</blockquote></p><p> In the past month, the highest Best Buy share price was $141.97, a 52-week high, in late November. This price is highlighted by the green balloon. Conversely, the lower share price during this time was $94.54 in mid-December, highlighted by the red balloon.</p><p><blockquote>过去一个月，百思买股价最高为141.97美元，创52周新高，出现在11月下旬。这个价格由绿色气球突出显示。相反，这段时间的较低股价在12月中旬为94.54美元，红色气球凸显了这一点。</blockquote></p><p> <h3>Tip</h3> The <b>Keltner Channel indicator</b> displays a set of semi-parallel lines based on a 20-day simple moving average and an upper and lower line. Because the upper lines are drawn by adding a multiple of ATR to the average and the lower lines are drawn by subtracting a multiple of ATR from the average price, this channel indicator makes for an excellent visualization tool when charting historical volatility.</p><p><blockquote><h3>尖端</h3>The<b>凯尔特纳通道指示器</b>显示一组基于20天简单移动平均线和上下线的半平行线。由于上线是通过将ATR的倍数添加到平均值来绘制的，而下线是通过从平均价格中减去ATR的倍数来绘制的，因此在绘制历史波动性图表时，该通道指标是一个出色的可视化工具。</blockquote></p><p> <h2> Option Analysis </h2> Recent trading volumes of Best Buy options greatly favor calls over puts. On Tuesday, Dec. 21, over 8,000 calls were traded compared to 4,100 puts. This is nearly double the number of calls than puts, which, at first glance, appears bullish. However, trading volumes alone only tell one part of the story.</p><p><blockquote><h2>期权分析</h2>百思买期权最近的交易量大大有利于评级而不是看跌期权。12月21日星期二，评级交易量超过8,000份，而看跌期权交易量为4,100份。这几乎是看跌期权数量的两倍，乍一看，看跌期权数量似乎是看涨的。然而，交易量本身只能说明故事的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> An analysis of a stock's open interest can provide greater context into the sentiment of option traders. The current open interest for Best Buy features 75,000 calls against 82,000 puts. While recent trading volumes are incredibly bullish, these open interest figures illustrate a more moderate view of Best Buy's share price from option traders. However, much like trading volumes, open interest figures require further analysis to provide deeper insights into option trader sentiment.</p><p><blockquote>对股票未平仓合约的分析可以为期权交易者的情绪提供更多的背景信息。百思买目前的未平仓合约包括75,000份评级和82,000份看跌期权。尽管最近的交易量令人难以置信地看涨，但这些未平仓合约数据表明期权交易员对百思买股价的看法更为温和。然而，与交易量非常相似，未平仓合约数据需要进一步分析，以更深入地了解期权交易者的情绪。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> For Jan. 21, the next monthly option expiration date, there are a greater number of put options in the open interest than calls. The single option with the highest open interest is the $90 put with 4,400. This represents 7% downside to the current share price of Best Buy.</p><p><blockquote>对于下一个月期权到期日1月21日，未平仓合约中的看跌期权数量多于评级。未平仓合约最高的单一期权是价值4,400美元的90美元看跌期权。这意味着百思买当前股价下跌7%。</blockquote></p><p> Considering at-the-money options and one strike in either direction up or down the option chain, there are more than 2.5-to-1 puts than calls in the open interest for Jan. 21. This is important to consider, as these strikes perhaps reflect more realistic price action based on current share prices rather than far out-of-the-money options, which may have numbers skewed by speculators and option sellers collecting premium.

Over the past five days, total open interest has decreased 34%. While the open interest of puts has decreased by 22%, the call open interest has declined by 43% over this time period. This means that, while fewer option traders are willing to hold Best Buy options, more traders are taking positions with put options than calls. This is reflected in the put/call ratio, which has risen 36% in the past five days.</p><p><blockquote>虽然未平仓合约总体略有看跌，但期权未平仓合约整体明显下降。过去五天，未平仓合约总额减少了34%。虽然看跌期权未平仓合约减少了22%，但看涨期权未平仓合约在此期间下降了43%。这意味着，虽然愿意持有百思买期权的期权交易者较少，但持有看跌期权头寸的交易者比评级多。这反映在看跌/看涨期权比率上，该比率在过去五天上涨了36%。</blockquote></p><p> A key measure for option trader sentiment in open interest is implied volatility. For options expiring Jan. 21, implied volatility suggests that traders are selling calls and buying puts. That's because for call options, the open interest is rising while implied volatility is falling, suggesting that traders are selling more contracts on short positions in the option. Conversely, for put options, open interest is rising while implied volatility is also rising, indicating that traders are adding to long positions in the option.</p><p><blockquote>衡量期权交易者未平仓合约情绪的一个关键指标是隐含波动率。对于1月21日到期的期权，隐含波动率表明交易者正在卖出评级并买入看跌期权。这是因为对于看涨期权期权，未平仓合约在上升，而隐含波动率在下降，这表明交易者正在卖出更多期权空头头寸的合约。相反，对于看跌期权，未平仓合约在上升的同时隐含波动率也在上升，表明交易者正在增加期权的多头头寸。</blockquote></p><p> While considering implied volatility, it is helpful to understand a concept known as volatility skew. Volatility skew is a measure of market implied volatility to both the upside and the downside, and the comparison of how they relate to each other. Current implied volatility skew is very bearish toward Best Buy. That's because the implied volatility for downside puts is greatly increasing relative to upside calls, which suggests that the market is pricing in a larger fear of a downside move for Best Buy. This skew can also be seen visually by the expanding volatility bands on the chart.</p><p><blockquote>在考虑隐含波动率时，理解一个称为波动率偏差的概念是有帮助的。波动率偏差是衡量市场上行和下行隐含波动率的指标，以及它们之间关系的比较。目前的隐含波动率偏差对百思买非常不利。这是因为相对于上行评级，下行看跌期权的隐含波动率大幅增加，这表明市场正在消化对百思买下行走势的更大担忧。这种偏差也可以通过图表上不断扩大的波动带直观地看到。</blockquote></p><p> The chart below illustrates at-the-money options expiring Jan. 21.

This is highlighted by the red arrow. This trend reversed at the beginning of October. This upward trend is highlighted by the green arrow. This helps to highlight the way that Best Buy stock rose to the extreme highs of the volatility range, topping out with its 52-week high the day before releasing earnings in late November.</p><p><blockquote>从图表左侧来看，百思买股票处于温和下跌趋势，交易价格低于20日移动平均线。红色箭头突出显示了这一点。这一趋势在10月初发生了逆转。绿色箭头突出了这种上升趋势。这有助于凸显百思买股票升至波动区间极端高位的方式，并在11月底发布财报的前一天触及52周高点。</blockquote></p><p> After dropping 12% the day after reporting earnings, Best Buy stock has remained in a strong downward trend at the extreme low of the volatility range. This trend is highlighted in blue. It's interesting to note that, at this time, Best Buy stock has failed to trade above its 20-day moving average, even on an intraday basis.</p><p><blockquote>百思买股价在公布财报后第二天下跌12%，目前仍处于波动区间极低水平的强劲下跌趋势。这一趋势以蓝色突出显示。有趣的是，目前百思买股票的交易价格未能突破20日移动平均线，即使是盘中也是如此。</blockquote></p><p> In the past month, the highest Best Buy share price was $141.97, a 52-week high, in late November.

Conversely, the lower share price during this time was $94.54 in mid-December, highlighted by the red balloon.</p><p><blockquote>过去一个月，百思买股价最高为141.97美元，创52周新高，出现在11月下旬。这个价格由绿色气球突出显示。相反，这段时间的较低股价在12月中旬为94.54美元，红色气球凸显了这一点。</blockquote></p><p> <h3>Tip</h3> The <b>Keltner Channel indicator</b> displays a set of semi-parallel lines based on a 20-day simple moving average and an upper and lower line.

On Tuesday, Dec. 21, over 8,000 calls were traded compared to 4,100 puts. This is nearly double the number of calls than puts, which, at first glance, appears bullish.

The chart below depicts the recent price action for the Best Buy share price as of Tuesday, Dec 21.\n\n Chart Analysis \nThe chart illustrates the share price action of Best Buy over the course of the past three months. Each candle represents one trading day. The blue lines are a historical volatility range formed by 20-day Keltner Channel indicators, which depict price levels that represent a multiple of the average true fange (ATR) for Best Buy stock. ATR is a standard tool for illustrating historical volatility over time. The outer bands of the historical volatility range widened after the earnings-based share price drop and appear to be further pushing outwards to the downside as the share price continues to decline.\nFrom the left-hand side of the chart, Best Buy stock was in a mild downward trend, trading below its 20-day moving average. This is highlighted by the red arrow. This trend reversed at the beginning of October. This upward trend is highlighted by the green arrow. This helps to highlight the way that Best Buy stock rose to the extreme highs of the volatility range, topping out with its 52-week high the day before releasing earnings in late November.\nAfter dropping 12% the day after reporting earnings, Best Buy stock has remained in a strong downward trend at the extreme low of the volatility range. This trend is highlighted in blue. It's interesting to note that, at this time, Best Buy stock has failed to trade above its 20-day moving average, even on an intraday basis.\nIn the past month, the highest Best Buy share price was $141.97, a 52-week high, in late November. This price is highlighted by the green balloon. Conversely, the lower share price during this time was $94.54 in mid-December, highlighted by the red balloon.\nTip\nThe Keltner Channel indicator displays a set of semi-parallel lines based on a 20-day simple moving average and an upper and lower line. Because the upper lines are drawn by adding a multiple of ATR to the average and the lower lines are drawn by subtracting a multiple of ATR from the average price, this channel indicator makes for an excellent visualization tool when charting historical volatility.\n Option Analysis \nRecent trading volumes of Best Buy options greatly favor calls over puts. On Tuesday, Dec. 21, over 8,000 calls were traded compared to 4,100 puts. This is nearly double the number of calls than puts, which, at first glance, appears bullish. However, trading volumes alone only tell one part of the story.\nAn analysis of a stock's open interest can provide greater context into the sentiment of option traders. The current open interest for Best Buy features 75,000 calls against 82,000 puts. While recent trading volumes are incredibly bullish, these open interest figures illustrate a more moderate view of Best Buy's share price from option traders. However, much like trading volumes, open interest figures require further analysis to provide deeper insights into option trader sentiment.\nFor Jan. 21, the next monthly option expiration date, there are a greater number of put options in the open interest than calls. The single option with the highest open interest is the $90 put with 4,400. This represents 7% downside to the current share price of Best Buy.\nConsidering at-the-money options and one strike in either direction up or down the option chain, there are more than 2.5-to-1 puts than calls in the open interest for Jan. 21. This is important to consider, as these strikes perhaps reflect more realistic price action based on current share prices rather than far out-of-the-money options, which may have numbers skewed by speculators and option sellers collecting premium. The current number, with far more puts than calls, expresses a bearish sentiment.\nWhile the open interest is slightly bearish in total, option open interest as a whole is noticeably down. Over the past five days, total open interest has decreased 34%. While the open interest of puts has decreased by 22%, the call open interest has declined by 43% over this time period. This means that, while fewer option traders are willing to hold Best Buy options, more traders are taking positions with put options than calls. This is reflected in the put/call ratio, which has risen 36% in the past five days.\nA key measure for option trader sentiment in open interest is implied volatility. For options expiring Jan. 21, implied volatility suggests that traders are selling calls and buying puts. That's because for call options, the open interest is rising while implied volatility is falling, suggesting that traders are selling more contracts on short positions in the option. Conversely, for put options, open interest is rising while implied volatility is also rising, indicating that traders are adding to long positions in the option.\nWhile considering implied volatility, it is helpful to understand a concept known as volatility skew. Volatility skew is a measure of market implied volatility to both the upside and the downside, and the comparison of how they relate to each other. Current implied volatility skew is very bearish toward Best Buy. That's because the implied volatility for downside puts is greatly increasing relative to upside calls, which suggests that the market is pricing in a larger fear of a downside move for Best Buy. This skew can also be seen visually by the expanding volatility bands on the chart.\nThe chart below illustrates at-the-money options expiring Jan. 21. The green box represents the pricing that call option sellers are offering and it implies a 38% probability that Best Buy shares will close inside this range or higher by expiration. The red box illustrates the pricing for puts, with a 37% chance if prices go lower by expiration.\n\nThe Bottom Line \nOver the past month, Best Buy shares have fallen 29.6%. The share price decrease and current downward trend was kick started by a 12% single day earnings-based share decline. Option traders appear to be positioned for the Best Buy share price to continue to fall in the near term. That's because the Best Buy put option open interest percentage is declining less rapidly than the call option open interest percentage, and the put call ratio has recently risen an alarming amount.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BBY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1570,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691427630,"gmtCreate":1640230863122,"gmtModify":1640230863122,"author":{"id":"4094701214252590","authorId":"4094701214252590","name":"tabbicatty","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c37c880fb1db837d1d1d4d14150f23ab","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4094701214252590","idStr":"4094701214252590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691427630","repostId":"1184389618","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184389618","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1640230223,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184389618?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-23 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Grab Stock May Be Down But It Isn’t Out<blockquote>Grab股票可能下跌，但尚未出局</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184389618","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"When Southeast Asian ride-hailing and delivery company Grab Holdings(NASDAQ:GRAB) completed a revers","content":"<p><div> When Southeast Asian ride-hailing and delivery company Grab Holdings(NASDAQ:GRAB) completed a reverse merger with special purpose acquisition company Altimeter Growth Corp. in early December it made ...</p><p><blockquote><div>当东南亚叫车和送货公司Grab Holdings（纳斯达克：GRAB）在12月初完成与特殊目的收购公司Altimeter Growth Corp.的反向合并时，它...</div></blockquote></p><p>  <a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/12/grab-stock-may-be-down-but-it-isnt-out/\">网页链接</a>  </div> </p><p><blockquote><a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/12/grab-stock-may-be-down-but-it-isnt-out/\">网页连接</a></blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Yet, this didn’t stop GRAB stock from plummeting more than 20% on the day of the merger.\nSince then, investors have continued to give GRAB stock the cold shoulder, with shares falling another 16% to trade at $7.34 at the time of this writing.\nNow, before you write off an investment in Grab Holdings, consider that the company is still in the early innings and let’s consider where GRAB stock could go from here.\nWhat’s Behind Grab’s Cool Reception?\nGrab is the largest ride-hailing and delivery company in Southeast Asia, with operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam and serving more than 187 million users.\nThere are a number of plausible explanations for why GRAB stock has not been well-received by investors.\nFor starters, growth estimates for the Southeast Asian region have been lowered recently primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic. In September, the Asian Development Bank dropped its 2021 growth forecast for the region to 3.1% from 4.4% previously.\nWidespread lockdowns in the region due to recurring waves of COVID-19 have hurt demand for Grab’s ride-hailing services and weighed on revenue despite an increase in food-delivery volumes.\nGrab reported its third-quarter results on Nov. 11. Revenue fell 9% year over year to $157 million, with the company citing “a decline in mobility due to the severe lockdowns in Vietnam.” Falling revenue is obviously not something investors want to see, especially from a company that has yet to turn a profit.\nYet, the company did report a 32% year-over-year increase in gross merchandise value, with the dollar value of transactions from Grab’s services rising to $4.04 billion thanks to strength in the company’s deliveries segment.\nThere’s Reason for Optimism\nThe deal to go public through the merger with Altimeter Growth Corp. valued Grab at close to $40 billion, which as I mentioned, was a record. The fact that three weeks later GRAB stock has a market cap of about $27.5 billion tells us that perhaps things got a bit too heated. However, there is reason for optimism.\nThe ride-hailing platform has secured the backing of significant players across related industries, including DiDi Global(NYSE:DIDI),Toyota(NYSE:TM) and SoftBank’s(OTCMKTS:SFTBY) Vision Fund.\nGrab Holdings also has some positive catalysts on the horizon. For example, the company recently announced that it will be purchasing Jaya Grocer, a premium supermarket chain in Malaysia.\nThis acquisition fits nicely with the ride-hailing and delivery business model the company seeks to expand. Management refers to the model as a “superapp” focus, whereby users can access multiple services in a single, convenient location.\nThe Bottom Line on GRAB Stock\nI can’t say Grab Holdings can immediately turn things around. But its potential in the burgeoning Southeast Asian market means it remains relevant and has a long runway.\nOf the six analysts following GRAB stock, two rate it a “buy” and there are no “sell” ratings,according to The Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, the consensus price target stands at $12.25, which represents upside of 67% from current levels.\nGRAB stock is very cheap now, so it’s hardly a dangerous speculative play. There’s a good argument to be made for investing now and hoping that the company continues to expand its footprint. Profitability should follow.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GRAB":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2085,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691427173,"gmtCreate":1640230852445,"gmtModify":1640230852445,"author":{"id":"4094701214252590","authorId":"4094701214252590","name":"tabbicatty","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c37c880fb1db837d1d1d4d14150f23ab","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4094701214252590","idStr":"4094701214252590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691427173","repostId":"1164467804","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164467804","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1640230809,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1164467804?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-23 11:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Are there any bubbles in Apple stock?<blockquote>苹果股票有泡沫吗？</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164467804","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Apple stock has risen 34% this year, beating the NASDAQ 100 by a wide margin.This has led some to say that the stock is in a bubble, as its price is rising rapidly.However, Apple's stock price gains are about in line with revenue growth, and actually slower than the most recent quarter's EPS growth.In this article, I will develop a bullish thesis on Apple, arguing that it has a wide moat that will power future growth and profitability.Apple Inc. stock has delivered a solid performance in 2021.

Many companies have attempted to copy Apple’s strategy of maximizing revenue by integrating hardware and apps, but few have succeeded at it. If you want the IOS or Mac OS experience, you need an iPhone or Mac. And billions of people want those experiences enough to pay top dollar for Apple’s products. Few other tech companies have that advantage –&nbsp;<b>Nintendo</b>(OTCPK:NTDOY) being one exception, if you count gaming as tech.</p><p><blockquote>苹果是一只拥有宽护城河的股票，是少数几家同时控制大多数用户硬件和软件的科技公司之一。许多公司都试图复制苹果通过整合硬件和应用程序来实现收入最大化的策略，但很少有人成功。如果你想要IOS或Mac OS体验，你需要一部iPhone或Mac。数十亿人想要这些体验，足以支付高价购买苹果的产品。很少有其他科技公司拥有这样的优势——<b>任天堂</b>(OTCPK：NTDOY)如果您将游戏视为技术，则是一个例外。</blockquote></p><p> This makes Apple arguably a&nbsp;wide-moat stock. You need Apple hardware to run Apple software, and people like Apple software. This gives Apple a “monopoly” on a certain collection of software experiences. It does not have a monopoly on any particular device category, but it’s the only company that can provide the integrated&nbsp;Apple ecosystem.</p><p><blockquote>这使得苹果可以说是一只拥有宽阔护城河的股票。你需要苹果硬件来运行苹果软件，人们喜欢苹果软件。这使得苹果“垄断”了某一套软件体验。它并不垄断任何特定的设备类别，但它是唯一一家能够提供集成苹果生态系统的公司。</blockquote></p><p> This advantage has paid dividends to Apple shareholders – both figuratively and literally. Apple is the world’s biggest company by market cap and the&nbsp;fourth-biggest by revenue. Its revenue growth rate has slowed in recent years, but certain segments (such as watches and services) are growing faster than ever. It appears, then, that Apple still has the potential for significant profitability and growth. Accordingly, I’ll develop a bullish thesis on Apple in this article, arguing that its solid economic moat provides potential for its stock to appreciate in the future.</p><p><blockquote>这一优势为苹果股东带来了红利——无论是象征性的还是字面上的。按市值计算，苹果是全球最大的公司，按收入计算，它是全球第四大公司。近年来，其收入增长率有所放缓，但某些细分市场（如手表和服务）的增长速度比以往任何时候都快。因此，苹果似乎仍然具有显着盈利和增长的潜力。因此，我将在本文中对苹果提出看涨论点，认为其坚实的经济护城河为其股票未来升值提供了潜力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Competitive Landscape</b></p><p><blockquote><b>竞争格局</b></blockquote></p><p> One of the most important things to understand about Apple is its competitive position. The company operates in such a wide variety of different markets that it’s hard to pin down its business beyond simply “tech.” Technically, the company’s SIC Code (industry classification) is 7372, denoting “prepackaged software.” However, this doesn’t capture the full extent of Apple’s business activities, as it’s also involved in hardware, semiconductors,payments&nbsp;and entertainment.</p><p><blockquote>了解苹果最重要的一点是它的竞争地位。该公司在如此广泛的不同市场开展业务，以至于很难确定其业务不仅仅是“技术”。从技术上讲，该公司的SIC代码（行业分类）是7372，表示“预打包软件”。然而，这并没有涵盖苹果业务活动的全部范围，因为它还涉及硬件、半导体、支付和娱乐。</blockquote></p><p> Some of Apple’s most noteworthy competitors include:</p><p><blockquote>苹果最值得注意的一些竞争对手包括：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li><b>Samsung</b>(OTC:SSNLF) - smartphones.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li><b>三星</b>（场外交易代码：SSNLF）-智能手机。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Huawei</b>- smartphones.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>华为</b>-智能手机。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Alphabet</b>(GOOG) - smartphones, laptops, and software.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>Alphabet</b>(GOOG)-智能手机、笔记本电脑和软件。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Microsoft</b>(MSFT) - laptops.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>微软</b>（MSFT）-笔记本电脑。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Dell</b>(NYSE:DELL)- laptops.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>戴尔</b>（纽约证券交易所代码：戴尔）-笔记本电脑。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Adobe</b>(ADBE) - creative software.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>土坯</b>（ADBE）-创意软件。</li></blockquote></p><p></p><p></li>  <li>And many more.</p><p><blockquote><li>还有更多。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> A comprehensive list of Apple’s competitors would be impossible to come up with, because the company operates in so many different verticals. In addition to all the names above, Apple is arguably in competition with the big semi companies, as it sells phones and laptops with Apple chips. Apple is one of the most comprehensive tech companies around, with a massive lineup of hardware, software and services, putting it in tacit competition with dozens of companies.</p><p><blockquote>苹果的竞争对手的全面名单是不可能的，因为该公司在许多不同的垂直领域开展业务。除了上述所有名称之外，苹果可以说还在与大型半导体公司竞争，因为它销售采用苹果芯片的手机和笔记本电脑。苹果是最全面的科技公司之一，拥有庞大的硬件、软件和服务阵容，使其与数十家公司展开默契竞争。</blockquote></p><p> How is Apple doing in the industries it competes in? According to&nbsp;Counterpoint Research&nbsp;and Statista, Apple’s market shares include:</p><p><blockquote>苹果在其竞争的行业中表现如何？根据Counterpoint Research和Statista的数据，苹果的市场份额包括：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>Smartphones: 47% in the US and 14% globally.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>智能手机：美国占47%，全球占14%。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Laptops: 15% in the US and 7.6% globally.</p><p><blockquote><li>笔记本电脑：美国15%，全球7.6%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Smartwatches: over 50% globally.</p><p><blockquote><li>智能手表：全球超过50%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Tablets: 35% globally.</p><p><blockquote><li>平板电脑：全球35%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> On the whole, Apple is in first or second place in most of its markets. It’s behind Samsung on smartphone sales but it leads in watches and tablets. This is a pretty good market position. And it could grow over time. Some of Apple’s product categories are still fairly new. The company only just recently broke into smart watches and&nbsp;sales in the category are growing at 50%. Apple has taken heat lately for its slowing growth, but certain products within the company’s lineup are growing faster than ever. This provides potential for strong growth well into the future.</p><p><blockquote>总体而言，苹果在其大部分市场都处于第一或第二的位置。它在智能手机销量方面落后于三星，但在手表和平板电脑方面领先。这是一个相当不错的市场地位。它可能会随着时间的推移而增长。苹果的一些产品类别仍然相当新。该公司最近才涉足智能手表领域，该类别的销售额正以50%的速度增长。苹果最近因增长放缓而受到批评，但该公司产品线中的某些产品增长速度比以往任何时候都快。这为未来的强劲增长提供了潜力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>The M1 Chip and Apple Services</b></p><p><blockquote><b>M1芯片和苹果服务</b></blockquote></p><p> Speaking of future growth, it’s worth exploring two of Apple’s most promising categories:</p><p><blockquote>说到未来的增长，值得探索苹果最有前途的两个类别：</blockquote></p><p> <i>The M1 Chip and Apple Services.</i></p><p><blockquote><i>M1芯片和苹果服务。</i></blockquote></p><p> The M1 Chip (really the M1 family of chips now) is a new chip designed by Apple based on ARM architecture. The base configuration boasts:</p><p><blockquote>M1芯片（现在实际上是M1家族芯片）是苹果基于ARM架构设计的新型芯片。基本配置拥有：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>An 8-core CPU.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>一个8核CPU。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>A 7-core GPU.</p><p><blockquote><li>7核GPU。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>8 or 16 gigs of RAM (physically built into the chip).</p><p><blockquote><li>8或16 GB内存（物理内置在芯片中）。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>5nm process.</p><p><blockquote><li>5nm工艺。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>16 billion transistors.</p><p><blockquote><li>160亿个晶体管。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>3.2 GHZ max clock rate.</p><p><blockquote><li>3.2 GHZ最大时钟速率。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> Incredible specs. And on top of that, there are two new models–the M1 Pro and M1 Max–that offer improvements on the base model. It would be tedious to list detailed spec sheets for these higher end models, but one eye-popping stat is the M1 Max’s 57 billion transistors. This competes with the CPUs included in extremely high end gaming PCs. And of course, that makes newer Macs themselves viable as gaming rigs, as countless&nbsp;YouTube reviewers have noted. Apple already has a sizable market share in laptops and desktops, but with the M1 chip family, it now has a shot at capturing the gaming segment as well. Until now, that market segment has proven elusive to Apple. So, there is significant potential for accelerating growth in Apple’s computer lineup.</p><p><blockquote>难以置信的规格。除此之外，还有两款新型号——M1 Pro和M1 Max——对基本型号进行了改进。列出这些高端型号的详细规格表会很乏味，但一个令人瞠目结舌的统计数据是M1 Max的570亿个晶体管。这与极高端游戏PC中包含的CPU竞争。当然，正如无数YouTube评论者指出的那样，这使得较新的MAC电脑本身可以作为游戏装备。苹果在笔记本电脑和台式机领域已经拥有相当大的市场份额，但凭借M1芯片系列，它现在也有机会占领游戏领域。到目前为止，事实证明，这一细分市场对苹果来说是难以捉摸的。因此，苹果电脑产品线的加速增长潜力巨大。</blockquote></p><p> Next up is Apple services. This is a broad category that includes streaming music, movies, books and more. This category is always expanding and could potentially drive more growth after hardware growth slows down. In the most recent quarter, service growth actually&nbsp;lagged product growth, at 25% vs 30% for the latter. However, services are promising because they’re a category that could continue to grow even after hardware products reach their total addressable market. Global smartphone sales have been&nbsp;flat-lining after years of strong growth. In this environment, it would be unrealistic to expect Apple’s hardware sales to grow as fast as they did in the past. But by selling more services to existing customers, Apple can keep growing its total revenue even as hardware sales underwhelm.</p><p><blockquote>接下来是苹果服务。这是一个广泛的类别，包括流媒体音乐、电影、书籍等。这一类别一直在扩大，并可能在硬件增长放缓后推动更多增长。在最近一个季度，服务增长实际上落后于产品增长，为25%，而后者为30%。然而，服务是有前途的，因为即使在硬件产品达到其总目标市场之后，它们也可以继续增长。经过多年的强劲增长，全球智能手机销量一直持平。在这种环境下，期望苹果的硬件销售像过去那样快速增长是不现实的。但通过向现有客户销售更多服务，苹果可以在硬件销售不佳的情况下保持总收入增长。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Financials and Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>财务和估值</b></blockquote></p><p> Now we can turn to Apple’s financials.</p><p><blockquote>现在我们可以转向苹果的财务状况。</blockquote></p><p> Apple’s most recent quarter was a&nbsp;miss on both revenue and earnings; however, the results were strong in absolute terms. In the quarter, Apple delivered:</p><p><blockquote>苹果最近一个季度的收入和盈利均未达到预期；然而，从绝对值来看，结果是强劲的。本季度，苹果交付了：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>$83 billion in revenue, up 29%.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>营收830亿美元，增长29%。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>$27.3 billion in operating income, up 60%.</p><p><blockquote><li>营业收入273亿美元，增长60%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>$20.5 billion in net income, up 63%.</p><p><blockquote><li>净利润205亿美元，增长63%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>$1.24 in diluted EPS, up 69%.</p><p><blockquote><li>稀释后每股收益为1.24美元，增长69%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> The company also reported $104 billion in TTM cash from operations in its fourth quarter report. That was up 28% from the year before.</p><p><blockquote>该公司还在第四季度报告中报告了1040亿美元的TTM运营现金。这比去年增长了28%。</blockquote></p><p> These were pretty solid results. Especially for a mature company. Apple is the biggest company in the world by market cap, yet its revenue and earnings are both up by growth stock levels. And this one quarter wasn’t a fluke. According to&nbsp;Seeking Alpha Quant, Apple’s five-year CAGR growth rates in the metrics listed above are:</p><p><blockquote>这些都是相当可靠的结果。尤其是对于一家成熟的公司来说。按市值计算，苹果是世界上最大的公司，但其收入和盈利均以成长型股票的水平增长。这一个季度并非侥幸。根据Seeking Alpha Quant的数据，苹果上述指标的五年复合年增长率为：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>Revenue: 11%.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>收入：11%。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Operating income: 12.7%.</p><p><blockquote><li>营业收入：12.7%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Net income: 15.7%.</p><p><blockquote><li>净利润：15.7%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Diluted EPS: 22%.</p><p><blockquote><li>稀释后每股收益：22%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Cash flow: 10.7%.</p><p><blockquote><li>现金流：10.7%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> Again very solid for a mature company. It does look like the most recent quarter was better than average, but the long-term metrics are still very good. Which gets to the heart of this article’s thesis:</p><p><blockquote>对于一家成熟的公司来说，这也是非常可靠的。最近一个季度看起来确实好于平均水平，但长期指标仍然非常好。这就抓住了本文论点的核心：</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Apple is definitely not a bubble stock. Its valuation is fairly steep, as it trades at 30 times earnings, 7.7 times sales, and 26 times cash flow. But the company still has plenty of growth potential. Compounded annually, its earnings are growing at 22%, and as the most recent quarter showed, it has room for acceleration. If you factor in both growth and value, you get a&nbsp;PEG ratio of just 0.43&nbsp;for the trailing 12-month period. That’s far from a bubble valuation. In fact, it looks downright cheap.</p><p><blockquote>苹果绝对不是泡沫股。其估值相当高，市盈率为30倍，销售额为7.7倍，现金流为26倍。但该公司仍有很大的增长潜力。按年复合计算，其盈利以22%的速度增长，正如最近一个季度所显示的那样，它还有加速的空间。如果同时考虑增长和价值，过去12个月的PEG比率仅为0.43。这远非泡沫估值。事实上，它看起来非常便宜。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p><blockquote><b>风险与挑战</b></blockquote></p><p> While Apple is definitely an ultra-profitable company with strong growth and a moderate valuation, its stock is not without its risks. As a major hardware company, it is vulnerable to supply chain issues, and other shocks. Some major risks and challenges to the bullish thesis outlined in this article include:</p><p><blockquote>虽然苹果绝对是一家增长强劲、估值适中的超盈利公司，但其股票并非没有风险。作为一家主要的硬件公司，它很容易受到供应链问题和其他冲击的影响。本文概述的看涨论点面临的一些主要风险和挑战包括：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li><b>Supply chain issues.</b>The world is currently going through a chip shortage, as well as shortages of various other hi-tech parts. These problems are affecting Apple. Just recently, the company&nbsp;slashed iPhone production&nbsp;because of supply chain issues. That right before the crucial Holiday season, no less. These kinds of problems are an ever-present threat for a hardware company like Apple, which depends on a ready supply of raw materials to keep sales flowing.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li><b>供应链问题。</b>世界目前正在经历芯片短缺，以及各种其他高科技部件的短缺。这些问题正在影响苹果。就在最近，由于供应链问题，该公司大幅削减了iPhone产量。就在关键的假期之前。对于像苹果这样的硬件公司来说，这类问题是一个始终存在的威胁，该公司依赖于现成的原材料供应来保持销售流动。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Scale.</b>Mathematically, the bigger something gets, the larger of an increase is needed to drive percentage gains equal to past ones. If you start selling $1,000 widgets and sell one your first year, you double your sales just by selling $2,000 worth the next year. If, however, ten years later, you’re selling $332 billion worth, you need customers to come up with $664 billion in the eleventh year to achieve the same growth. This is mathematically unlikely. And as it just so happens, Apple’s $83 billion Q4 revenue annualizes to $332 billion. So growth will be harder to achieve going forward.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>比例。</b>从数学上讲，某物变得越大，需要的增幅就越大，才能推动与过去持平的百分比增长。如果你开始销售1000美元的小工具，第一年就卖出了一个，那么第二年只要卖出价值2000美元的小工具，你的销售额就会翻倍。然而，如果十年后，你的销售额为3320亿美元，你需要客户在第十一年拿出6640亿美元来实现同样的增长。这在数学上是不太可能的。碰巧的是，苹果第四季度830亿美元的年收入达到了3320亿美元。因此，未来将更难实现增长。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Disruption.</b>Apple’s business model requires that it stay on the leading edge of tech innovation. If another company comes out with something decisively superior to the iPhone, that could kill Apple’s business overnight. Apple itself&nbsp;did this once, to&nbsp;<b>BlackBerry</b>(BB), makers of the ill-fated BlackBerry Smartphone. The history of the tech industry is littered with companies eating each other's lunch, and while Apple has billions to spend on R&amp;D, you never know where the next threat will come from.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>中断。</b>苹果的商业模式要求它保持在技术创新的前沿。如果另一家公司推出了明显优于iPhone的产品，这可能会在一夜之间扼杀苹果的业务。苹果自己也做过一次，为了<b>黑莓</b>（BB），命运多舛的黑莓智能手机制造商。科技行业的历史上充斥着公司互相吃午餐的情况，尽管苹果在研发上投入了数十亿美元，但你永远不知道下一个威胁会来自哪里。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> The above are some very real risks for investors to keep in mind. The supply chain risk, in particular, is very real, having been cited as a problem in several quarterly reports. With that said, Apple stock has an incredible moat, decent growth, and a not-unreasonable valuation. This is definitely not a stock to short. And while the gains realized by longs will not be as good in the future as they were in the past, they should still be decent.</p><p><blockquote>以上是投资者需要牢记的一些非常真实的风险。尤其是供应链风险是非常真实的，在几份季度报告中都被认为是一个问题。话虽如此，苹果股票拥有令人难以置信的护城河、良好的增长和并非不合理的估值。这绝对不是一只值得做空的股票。虽然多头实现的收益在未来不会像过去那么好，但它们应该仍然不错。</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>Are there any bubbles in Apple stock?<blockquote>苹果股票有泡沫吗？</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\">\nAre there any bubbles in Apple stock?<blockquote>苹果股票有泡沫吗？</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\">2021-12-23 11:40</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p><b>Summary</b></p><p><blockquote><b>总结</b></blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>Apple stock has risen 34% this year, beating the NASDAQ 100 by a wide margin.</li>  <li>This has led some to say that the stock is in a bubble, as its price is rising rapidly.</li>  <li>However, Apple's stock price gains are about in line with revenue growth, and actually slower than the most recent quarter's EPS growth.</li>  <li>In this article, I will develop a bullish thesis on Apple, arguing that it has a wide moat that will power future growth and profitability.</li> </ul> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e9d29c6db997dd98e087415e7e2acfe\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1036\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News</span></p><p><blockquote><ul><li>苹果股价今年已上涨34%，大幅跑赢纳斯达克100指数。</li><li>这导致一些人说该股存在泡沫，因为其价格正在迅速上涨。</li><li>然而，苹果的股价涨幅与收入增长大致一致，实际上慢于最近一个季度的每股收益增长。</li><li>在本文中，我将对苹果提出看涨论点，认为它拥有宽阔的护城河，将推动未来的增长和盈利能力。</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>贾斯汀·沙利文/盖蒂图片社新闻</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <b>Apple Inc.</b>(AAPL) stock has delivered a solid performance in 2021.

Many companies have attempted to copy Apple’s strategy of maximizing revenue by integrating hardware and apps, but few have succeeded at it. If you want the IOS or Mac OS experience, you need an iPhone or Mac. And billions of people want those experiences enough to pay top dollar for Apple’s products. Few other tech companies have that advantage –&nbsp;<b>Nintendo</b>(OTCPK:NTDOY) being one exception, if you count gaming as tech.</p><p><blockquote>苹果是一只拥有宽护城河的股票，是少数几家同时控制大多数用户硬件和软件的科技公司之一。许多公司都试图复制苹果通过整合硬件和应用程序来实现收入最大化的策略，但很少有人成功。如果你想要IOS或Mac OS体验，你需要一部iPhone或Mac。数十亿人想要这些体验，足以支付高价购买苹果的产品。很少有其他科技公司拥有这样的优势——<b>任天堂</b>(OTCPK：NTDOY)如果您将游戏视为技术，则是一个例外。</blockquote></p><p> This makes Apple arguably a&nbsp;wide-moat stock. You need Apple hardware to run Apple software, and people like Apple software. This gives Apple a “monopoly” on a certain collection of software experiences. It does not have a monopoly on any particular device category, but it’s the only company that can provide the integrated&nbsp;Apple ecosystem.</p><p><blockquote>这使得苹果可以说是一只拥有宽阔护城河的股票。你需要苹果硬件来运行苹果软件，人们喜欢苹果软件。这使得苹果“垄断”了某一套软件体验。它并不垄断任何特定的设备类别，但它是唯一一家能够提供集成苹果生态系统的公司。</blockquote></p><p> This advantage has paid dividends to Apple shareholders – both figuratively and literally. Apple is the world’s biggest company by market cap and the&nbsp;fourth-biggest by revenue. Its revenue growth rate has slowed in recent years, but certain segments (such as watches and services) are growing faster than ever. It appears, then, that Apple still has the potential for significant profitability and growth. Accordingly, I’ll develop a bullish thesis on Apple in this article, arguing that its solid economic moat provides potential for its stock to appreciate in the future.</p><p><blockquote>这一优势为苹果股东带来了红利——无论是象征性的还是字面上的。按市值计算，苹果是全球最大的公司，按收入计算，它是全球第四大公司。近年来，其收入增长率有所放缓，但某些细分市场（如手表和服务）的增长速度比以往任何时候都快。因此，苹果似乎仍然具有显着盈利和增长的潜力。因此，我将在本文中对苹果提出看涨论点，认为其坚实的经济护城河为其股票未来升值提供了潜力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Competitive Landscape</b></p><p><blockquote><b>竞争格局</b></blockquote></p><p> One of the most important things to understand about Apple is its competitive position. The company operates in such a wide variety of different markets that it’s hard to pin down its business beyond simply “tech.” Technically, the company’s SIC Code (industry classification) is 7372, denoting “prepackaged software.” However, this doesn’t capture the full extent of Apple’s business activities, as it’s also involved in hardware, semiconductors,payments&nbsp;and entertainment.</p><p><blockquote>了解苹果最重要的一点是它的竞争地位。该公司在如此广泛的不同市场开展业务，以至于很难确定其业务不仅仅是“技术”。从技术上讲，该公司的SIC代码（行业分类）是7372，表示“预打包软件”。然而，这并没有涵盖苹果业务活动的全部范围，因为它还涉及硬件、半导体、支付和娱乐。</blockquote></p><p> Some of Apple’s most noteworthy competitors include:</p><p><blockquote>苹果最值得注意的一些竞争对手包括：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li><b>Samsung</b>(OTC:SSNLF) - smartphones.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li><b>三星</b>（场外交易代码：SSNLF）-智能手机。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Huawei</b>- smartphones.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>华为</b>-智能手机。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Alphabet</b>(GOOG) - smartphones, laptops, and software.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>Alphabet</b>(GOOG)-智能手机、笔记本电脑和软件。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Microsoft</b>(MSFT) - laptops.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>微软</b>（MSFT）-笔记本电脑。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Dell</b>(NYSE:DELL)- laptops.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>戴尔</b>（纽约证券交易所代码：戴尔）-笔记本电脑。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Adobe</b>(ADBE) - creative software.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>土坯</b>（ADBE）-创意软件。</li></blockquote></p><p></p><p></li>  <li>And many more.</p><p><blockquote><li>还有更多。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> A comprehensive list of Apple’s competitors would be impossible to come up with, because the company operates in so many different verticals. In addition to all the names above, Apple is arguably in competition with the big semi companies, as it sells phones and laptops with Apple chips. Apple is one of the most comprehensive tech companies around, with a massive lineup of hardware, software and services, putting it in tacit competition with dozens of companies.</p><p><blockquote>苹果的竞争对手的全面名单是不可能的，因为该公司在许多不同的垂直领域开展业务。除了上述所有名称之外，苹果可以说还在与大型半导体公司竞争，因为它销售采用苹果芯片的手机和笔记本电脑。苹果是最全面的科技公司之一，拥有庞大的硬件、软件和服务阵容，使其与数十家公司展开默契竞争。</blockquote></p><p> How is Apple doing in the industries it competes in? According to&nbsp;Counterpoint Research&nbsp;and Statista, Apple’s market shares include:</p><p><blockquote>苹果在其竞争的行业中表现如何？根据Counterpoint Research和Statista的数据，苹果的市场份额包括：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>Smartphones: 47% in the US and 14% globally.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>智能手机：美国占47%，全球占14%。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Laptops: 15% in the US and 7.6% globally.</p><p><blockquote><li>笔记本电脑：美国15%，全球7.6%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Smartwatches: over 50% globally.</p><p><blockquote><li>智能手表：全球超过50%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Tablets: 35% globally.</p><p><blockquote><li>平板电脑：全球35%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> On the whole, Apple is in first or second place in most of its markets. It’s behind Samsung on smartphone sales but it leads in watches and tablets. This is a pretty good market position. And it could grow over time. Some of Apple’s product categories are still fairly new. The company only just recently broke into smart watches and&nbsp;sales in the category are growing at 50%. Apple has taken heat lately for its slowing growth, but certain products within the company’s lineup are growing faster than ever. This provides potential for strong growth well into the future.</p><p><blockquote>总体而言，苹果在其大部分市场都处于第一或第二的位置。它在智能手机销量方面落后于三星，但在手表和平板电脑方面领先。这是一个相当不错的市场地位。它可能会随着时间的推移而增长。苹果的一些产品类别仍然相当新。该公司最近才涉足智能手表领域，该类别的销售额正以50%的速度增长。苹果最近因增长放缓而受到批评，但该公司产品线中的某些产品增长速度比以往任何时候都快。这为未来的强劲增长提供了潜力。</blockquote></p><p> <b>The M1 Chip and Apple Services</b></p><p><blockquote><b>M1芯片和苹果服务</b></blockquote></p><p> Speaking of future growth, it’s worth exploring two of Apple’s most promising categories:</p><p><blockquote>说到未来的增长，值得探索苹果最有前途的两个类别：</blockquote></p><p> <i>The M1 Chip and Apple Services.</i></p><p><blockquote><i>M1芯片和苹果服务。</i></blockquote></p><p> The M1 Chip (really the M1 family of chips now) is a new chip designed by Apple based on ARM architecture. The base configuration boasts:</p><p><blockquote>M1芯片（现在实际上是M1家族芯片）是苹果基于ARM架构设计的新型芯片。基本配置拥有：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>An 8-core CPU.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>一个8核CPU。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>A 7-core GPU.</p><p><blockquote><li>7核GPU。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>8 or 16 gigs of RAM (physically built into the chip).</p><p><blockquote><li>8或16 GB内存（物理内置在芯片中）。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>5nm process.</p><p><blockquote><li>5nm工艺。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>16 billion transistors.</p><p><blockquote><li>160亿个晶体管。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>3.2 GHZ max clock rate.</p><p><blockquote><li>3.2 GHZ最大时钟速率。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> Incredible specs. And on top of that, there are two new models–the M1 Pro and M1 Max–that offer improvements on the base model. It would be tedious to list detailed spec sheets for these higher end models, but one eye-popping stat is the M1 Max’s 57 billion transistors. This competes with the CPUs included in extremely high end gaming PCs. And of course, that makes newer Macs themselves viable as gaming rigs, as countless&nbsp;YouTube reviewers have noted. Apple already has a sizable market share in laptops and desktops, but with the M1 chip family, it now has a shot at capturing the gaming segment as well. Until now, that market segment has proven elusive to Apple. So, there is significant potential for accelerating growth in Apple’s computer lineup.</p><p><blockquote>难以置信的规格。除此之外，还有两款新型号——M1 Pro和M1 Max——对基本型号进行了改进。列出这些高端型号的详细规格表会很乏味，但一个令人瞠目结舌的统计数据是M1 Max的570亿个晶体管。这与极高端游戏PC中包含的CPU竞争。当然，正如无数YouTube评论者指出的那样，这使得较新的MAC电脑本身可以作为游戏装备。苹果在笔记本电脑和台式机领域已经拥有相当大的市场份额，但凭借M1芯片系列，它现在也有机会占领游戏领域。到目前为止，事实证明，这一细分市场对苹果来说是难以捉摸的。因此，苹果电脑产品线的加速增长潜力巨大。</blockquote></p><p> Next up is Apple services. This is a broad category that includes streaming music, movies, books and more. This category is always expanding and could potentially drive more growth after hardware growth slows down. In the most recent quarter, service growth actually&nbsp;lagged product growth, at 25% vs 30% for the latter. However, services are promising because they’re a category that could continue to grow even after hardware products reach their total addressable market. Global smartphone sales have been&nbsp;flat-lining after years of strong growth. In this environment, it would be unrealistic to expect Apple’s hardware sales to grow as fast as they did in the past. But by selling more services to existing customers, Apple can keep growing its total revenue even as hardware sales underwhelm.</p><p><blockquote>接下来是苹果服务。这是一个广泛的类别，包括流媒体音乐、电影、书籍等。这一类别一直在扩大，并可能在硬件增长放缓后推动更多增长。在最近一个季度，服务增长实际上落后于产品增长，为25%，而后者为30%。然而，服务是有前途的，因为即使在硬件产品达到其总目标市场之后，它们也可以继续增长。经过多年的强劲增长，全球智能手机销量一直持平。在这种环境下，期望苹果的硬件销售像过去那样快速增长是不现实的。但通过向现有客户销售更多服务，苹果可以在硬件销售不佳的情况下保持总收入增长。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Financials and Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>财务和估值</b></blockquote></p><p> Now we can turn to Apple’s financials.</p><p><blockquote>现在我们可以转向苹果的财务状况。</blockquote></p><p> Apple’s most recent quarter was a&nbsp;miss on both revenue and earnings; however, the results were strong in absolute terms. In the quarter, Apple delivered:</p><p><blockquote>苹果最近一个季度的收入和盈利均未达到预期；然而，从绝对值来看，结果是强劲的。本季度，苹果交付了：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>$83 billion in revenue, up 29%.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>营收830亿美元，增长29%。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>$27.3 billion in operating income, up 60%.</p><p><blockquote><li>营业收入273亿美元，增长60%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>$20.5 billion in net income, up 63%.</p><p><blockquote><li>净利润205亿美元，增长63%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>$1.24 in diluted EPS, up 69%.</p><p><blockquote><li>稀释后每股收益为1.24美元，增长69%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> The company also reported $104 billion in TTM cash from operations in its fourth quarter report. That was up 28% from the year before.</p><p><blockquote>该公司还在第四季度报告中报告了1040亿美元的TTM运营现金。这比去年增长了28%。</blockquote></p><p> These were pretty solid results. Especially for a mature company. Apple is the biggest company in the world by market cap, yet its revenue and earnings are both up by growth stock levels. And this one quarter wasn’t a fluke. According to&nbsp;Seeking Alpha Quant, Apple’s five-year CAGR growth rates in the metrics listed above are:</p><p><blockquote>这些都是相当可靠的结果。尤其是对于一家成熟的公司来说。按市值计算，苹果是世界上最大的公司，但其收入和盈利均以成长型股票的水平增长。这一个季度并非侥幸。根据Seeking Alpha Quant的数据，苹果上述指标的五年复合年增长率为：</blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>Revenue: 11%.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>收入：11%。</li></ul></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Operating income: 12.7%.</p><p><blockquote><li>营业收入：12.7%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Net income: 15.7%.</p><p><blockquote><li>净利润：15.7%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Diluted EPS: 22%.</p><p><blockquote><li>稀释后每股收益：22%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li>Cash flow: 10.7%.</p><p><blockquote><li>现金流：10.7%。</li></blockquote></p><p></li> </ul> Again very solid for a mature company. It does look like the most recent quarter was better than average, but the long-term metrics are still very good.

If you start selling $1,000 widgets and sell one your first year, you double your sales just by selling $2,000 worth the next year. If, however, ten years later, you’re selling $332 billion worth, you need customers to come up with $664 billion in the eleventh year to achieve the same growth. This is mathematically unlikely. And as it just so happens, Apple’s $83 billion Q4 revenue annualizes to $332 billion. So growth will be harder to achieve going forward.</p><p><blockquote><li><b>比例。</b>从数学上讲，某物变得越大，需要的增幅就越大，才能推动与过去持平的百分比增长。如果你开始销售1000美元的小工具，第一年就卖出了一个，那么第二年只要卖出价值2000美元的小工具，你的销售额就会翻倍。然而，如果十年后，你的销售额为3320亿美元，你需要客户在第十一年拿出6640亿美元来实现同样的增长。这在数学上是不太可能的。碰巧的是，苹果第四季度830亿美元的年收入达到了3320亿美元。因此，未来将更难实现增长。</li></blockquote></p><p></li>  <li><b>Disruption.</b>Apple’s business model requires that it stay on the leading edge of tech innovation.

Up 35% for the year, it has solidly outperformed both the NASDAQ 100 and the S&P 500. The latest in a long streak of winning years for the company, Apple’s 2021 shows that a stock is never too big to beat the market.\nWith that said, there’s no shortage of people who think Apple’s winning run is due for a correction. In recent weeks, we’ve seen a deluge of articles claiming that AAPL is overvalued, with titles like:\n\n“Apple Stock is Now a Bubble.”\n“Why Apple Stock May Be a Bubble That’s Ready to Burst.”\n“Sell AAPL? Why This Expert Sees Apple Stock Dipping 12%”\n\nNot all of these articles have been unambiguously bearish. A few mention positives along with negatives. But generally speaking, the sentiment that Apple is a bubble, or at least overvalued, is becoming common. If you look at TipRanks’ sentiment chart, it shows decisively negative sentiment toward Apple stock.\nSource: TipRanks’ sentiment chart\nThe bearishness of investor sentiment toward Apple becomes clear when we compare it to the sentiment toward Meta Platforms(FB). Meta, a company that is being sued for antitrust violations and getting attacked in the press daily, has a nearly perfect sentiment score. So there is no special tech curse that guarantees negative sentiment toward individual stocks in the sector. Apple’s sentiment problem is indeed its own problem.\n\nWhich begs the question:\nWhy?\nApple is a wide-moat stock, one of the few tech companies that controls both hardware and software for most of its users. Many companies have attempted to copy Apple’s strategy of maximizing revenue by integrating hardware and apps, but few have succeeded at it. If you want the IOS or Mac OS experience, you need an iPhone or Mac. And billions of people want those experiences enough to pay top dollar for Apple’s products. Few other tech companies have that advantage – Nintendo(OTCPK:NTDOY) being one exception, if you count gaming as tech.\nThis makes Apple arguably a wide-moat stock. You need Apple hardware to run Apple software, and people like Apple software. This gives Apple a “monopoly” on a certain collection of software experiences. It does not have a monopoly on any particular device category, but it’s the only company that can provide the integrated Apple ecosystem.\nThis advantage has paid dividends to Apple shareholders – both figuratively and literally. Apple is the world’s biggest company by market cap and the fourth-biggest by revenue. Its revenue growth rate has slowed in recent years, but certain segments (such as watches and services) are growing faster than ever. It appears, then, that Apple still has the potential for significant profitability and growth. Accordingly, I’ll develop a bullish thesis on Apple in this article, arguing that its solid economic moat provides potential for its stock to appreciate in the future.\nCompetitive Landscape\nOne of the most important things to understand about Apple is its competitive position. The company operates in such a wide variety of different markets that it’s hard to pin down its business beyond simply “tech.” Technically, the company’s SIC Code (industry classification) is 7372, denoting “prepackaged software.” However, this doesn’t capture the full extent of Apple’s business activities, as it’s also involved in hardware, semiconductors,payments and entertainment.\nSome of Apple’s most noteworthy competitors include:\n\nSamsung(OTC:SSNLF) - smartphones.\nHuawei- smartphones.\nAlphabet(GOOG) - smartphones, laptops, and software.\nMicrosoft(MSFT) - laptops.\nDell(NYSE:DELL)- laptops.\nAdobe(ADBE) - creative software.\nAnd many more.\n\nA comprehensive list of Apple’s competitors would be impossible to come up with, because the company operates in so many different verticals. In addition to all the names above, Apple is arguably in competition with the big semi companies, as it sells phones and laptops with Apple chips. Apple is one of the most comprehensive tech companies around, with a massive lineup of hardware, software and services, putting it in tacit competition with dozens of companies.\nHow is Apple doing in the industries it competes in? According to Counterpoint Research and Statista, Apple’s market shares include:\n\nSmartphones: 47% in the US and 14% globally.\nLaptops: 15% in the US and 7.6% globally.\nSmartwatches: over 50% globally.\nTablets: 35% globally.\n\nOn the whole, Apple is in first or second place in most of its markets. It’s behind Samsung on smartphone sales but it leads in watches and tablets. This is a pretty good market position. And it could grow over time. Some of Apple’s product categories are still fairly new. The company only just recently broke into smart watches and sales in the category are growing at 50%. Apple has taken heat lately for its slowing growth, but certain products within the company’s lineup are growing faster than ever. This provides potential for strong growth well into the future.\nThe M1 Chip and Apple Services\nSpeaking of future growth, it’s worth exploring two of Apple’s most promising categories:\nThe M1 Chip and Apple Services.\nThe M1 Chip (really the M1 family of chips now) is a new chip designed by Apple based on ARM architecture. The base configuration boasts:\n\nAn 8-core CPU.\nA 7-core GPU.\n8 or 16 gigs of RAM (physically built into the chip).\n5nm process.\n16 billion transistors.\n3.2 GHZ max clock rate.\n\nIncredible specs. And on top of that, there are two new models–the M1 Pro and M1 Max–that offer improvements on the base model. It would be tedious to list detailed spec sheets for these higher end models, but one eye-popping stat is the M1 Max’s 57 billion transistors. This competes with the CPUs included in extremely high end gaming PCs. And of course, that makes newer Macs themselves viable as gaming rigs, as countless YouTube reviewers have noted. Apple already has a sizable market share in laptops and desktops, but with the M1 chip family, it now has a shot at capturing the gaming segment as well. Until now, that market segment has proven elusive to Apple. So, there is significant potential for accelerating growth in Apple’s computer lineup.\nNext up is Apple services. This is a broad category that includes streaming music, movies, books and more. This category is always expanding and could potentially drive more growth after hardware growth slows down. In the most recent quarter, service growth actually lagged product growth, at 25% vs 30% for the latter. However, services are promising because they’re a category that could continue to grow even after hardware products reach their total addressable market. Global smartphone sales have been flat-lining after years of strong growth. In this environment, it would be unrealistic to expect Apple’s hardware sales to grow as fast as they did in the past. But by selling more services to existing customers, Apple can keep growing its total revenue even as hardware sales underwhelm.\nFinancials and Valuation\nNow we can turn to Apple’s financials.\nApple’s most recent quarter was a miss on both revenue and earnings; however, the results were strong in absolute terms. In the quarter, Apple delivered:\n\n$83 billion in revenue, up 29%.\n$27.3 billion in operating income, up 60%.\n$20.5 billion in net income, up 63%.\n$1.24 in diluted EPS, up 69%.\n\nThe company also reported $104 billion in TTM cash from operations in its fourth quarter report. That was up 28% from the year before.\nThese were pretty solid results. Especially for a mature company. Apple is the biggest company in the world by market cap, yet its revenue and earnings are both up by growth stock levels. And this one quarter wasn’t a fluke. According to Seeking Alpha Quant, Apple’s five-year CAGR growth rates in the metrics listed above are:\n\nRevenue: 11%.\nOperating income: 12.7%.\nNet income: 15.7%.\nDiluted EPS: 22%.\nCash flow: 10.7%.\n\nAgain very solid for a mature company. It does look like the most recent quarter was better than average, but the long-term metrics are still very good.

In fact, it looks downright cheap.\nRisks and Challenges\nWhile Apple is definitely an ultra-profitable company with strong growth and a moderate valuation, its stock is not without its risks. As a major hardware company, it is vulnerable to supply chain issues, and other shocks.
