Apple shares on track for record close as market cap tops $2.4 trillion
Apple shares on track for record close as market cap tops $2.4 trillion
Apple shares are on track for their first record close since January, as investors begin to anticipate the arrival of new iPhones in September, and June quarter financial results are three weeks away.
苹果股价有望创下自1月份以来的首次创纪录收盘价，因为投资者开始预期新款iPhone将于9月份上市，而6月季度的财务业绩将在三周后公布。
$Apple Inc(AAPL.US)$ shares have lagged behind the market: The stock is up 9% since December, while the S&P 500 has rallied 16%. But the stock has been gaining steam, and is on track for a seventh straight day of gains.
$苹果公司(AAPL.US)$股价表现落后于大盘：自去年12月以来，该股上涨了9%，而标准普尔500指数(S&P500)则上涨了16%。但该股一直在上涨，并有望连续第七个交易日上涨。
On Wednesday, the stock added 1.5% to $144.21. If that price holds, shares will eclipse their previous all-time closing peak of $142.70 on Jan. 26. The stock hit an intraday high -- $145.04 -- on Jan. 25. The rally has pushed Apple's market cap to $2.4 trillion, about $300 billion above Microsoft's valuation of $2.1 billion.
周三，该股上涨1.5%，至144.21美元。如果这一价格保持不变，股价将超过1月26日创下的142.70美元的历史收盘高点。该股在1月25日创下盘中高点--145.04美元。这波涨势已将苹果市值推高至2.4万亿美元，比微软21亿美元的估值高出约3,000亿美元。
Several factors appear to be contributing to the rally. Some analysts have noted that Apple shares tend to outperform in the summer quarter ahead of the company's annual launch of new iPhones, which is typically in September. While Apple hasn't said anything yet, the company is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 13 lineup before the end of the September quarter.
有几个因素似乎对股市上涨起到了推波助澜的作用。一些分析师指出，苹果股价往往会在夏季季度跑赢大盘，之后该公司将于9月份发布年度新款iPhone。虽然苹果尚未发表任何言论，但外界普遍预计该公司将在9月季度末之前发布iPhone 13系列。
Also, analysts are reporting a recent uptick in Apple's production orders for the new phones, and demand for the iPhone 12 lineup also remains robust. While Apple faces some tough comparisons in the coming quarters given the surge in demand for both Macs and iPads, bulls sees the strong demand continuing for multiple quarters ahead.
此外，分析师报告称，最近苹果新手机的生产订单有所增加，对iPhone 12系列的需求也依然强劲。尽管考虑到Mac和iPad需求的激增，苹果在未来几个季度将面临一些艰难的比较，但看涨人士认为，强劲的需求将在未来几个季度持续下去。
In the March quarter, the company reported revenue of $89.6 billion, up 54%, driven by 66% growth in iPhone revenues, 27% growth in services, and increases of 70% for Macs and 79% for iPads. Sales were up 88% in China, 35% in the Americas, 49% in Japan and 94% in the rest of Asia.
在3月当季，该公司报告营收896亿美元，增长54%，iPhone营收增长66%，服务营收增长27%，Mac和iPad营收分别增长70%和79%。中国的销售额增长了88%，美洲增长了35%，日本增长了49%，亚洲其他地区增长了94%。
Apple didn't provide detailed June quarter guidance, but noted that the sequential decline from the March quarter would likely be higher than in prior years due to a later launch date for the iPhone 12 and some impact from component shortages. The company said on its March quarter conference call that revenue would likely be reduced by $3 billion to $4 billion in the June quarter due to supply constraints.
苹果没有提供详细的6月份季度业绩指引，但指出，由于iPhone 12发布日期较晚，以及零部件短缺的一些影响，3月份季度的环比降幅可能会高于往年。该公司在3月份的季度电话会议上表示，由于供应限制，第二季度营收可能会减少30亿至40亿美元。
The Street sees June quarter revenue of $72.9 billion with profits of $1 a share.
华尔街预计6月份这个季度的收入为729亿美元，利润为每股1美元。
