Apple Stock Tumbles 7.5% In Premarket, On Track To Open At Nearly 2-Month Low: Why Is Tech Giant Losing Flavor?
Shares of tech giant Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), which weathered the mega-cap sell-off on Friday, are sliding in premarket trading on Monday.
科技巨头苹果公司（NASDAQ:AAPL）股票在上周五的大幅卖出中挺了过来，但在周一盘前交易中下跌。
The stock fell 7.75% to $202.81 in premarket, according to Benzinga Pro data, and if the premarket losses hold good, it is on track to open at its lowest since June 11 when it traded at an intraday low of $193.63. The previous worst close was from June 10 ($193.12).
根据Benzinga Pro的数据，该股在盘前交易中下跌了7.75％至202.81美元，如果盘前亏损保持不变，它将以自6月11日以来的最低价开盘，当时盘中低点为193.63美元。上一个最差收盘价是在6月10日（193.12美元）。
Apple is buffeted by billionaire investor Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.'s (NYSE:BRK) (NYSE:BRK) decision to cut its stake in the tech giant by nearly 50% in terms of the number of shares.
由亿万富翁投资者沃伦·巴菲特领导的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（NYSE:BRK）决定根据股票数量将其在该科技巨头的持股减少近50％，这给苹果带来了冲击。
The 10-Q report for the second quarter filed by Berkshire showed the firm held $84.2 billion Apple shares at the end of the second quarter, down from the $135.4 worth of shares at the end of the second quarter. Berkshire had trimmed its Apple shares by 13% in the first quarter, with Buffett stating at that time the sale was to raise cash to foot the federal tax bill and to preserve as a store of value amid an inclement economy.
伯克希尔第二季度提交的10-Q报告显示，该公司在第二季度结束时持有842亿美元的苹果股票，而第一季度末持有的苹果股票价值为134.54亿美元。巴菲特在那个时候表示，出售是为了筹集现金来支付联邦税单，并在经济状况恶劣时保留价值储存。
Commenting on the second-quarter disposal, Wedbush's Daniel Ives said Apple continues to be Berkshire's top holding, more than double of its next biggest holding Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC).
Wedbush的丹尼尔·艾夫斯在谈到第二季度的处置时表示，苹果仍然是伯克希尔最大的持仓，比其下一个最大的持仓美国银行股份公司（NYSE:BAC）多出一倍以上。
"While the bears will clearly run with this news and narrative coming off a brutal Friday sell-off in tech stocks, we strongly caution that Buffett is a core believer in Apple and we do not view this as a smoke signal for bad news ahead," he said.
他说：“虽然熊市会明显抬头，这一消息和叙述源于科技股在上周五遭受暴跌，但我们强烈警告巴菲特是苹果的核心信仰者，我们不认为这是一个信号，暗示着未来会有坏消息。”
Apple's premarket slide may also have to do with an across-the-board sell-off in the global financial markets amid recession scare and the unwinding of the yen carry trades.
全球金融市场普遍处于抛售状态，而日元抵押交易也在取消，这也可能是苹果的盘前下跌的原因之一。
