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.
蘋果股價有望創下自1月份以來的首次創紀錄收盤價,因為投資者開始預期新款iPhone將於9月份上市,而6月季度的財務業績將在三週後公佈。
$Apple Inc(AAPL.US)$ 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.
$蘋果公司(AAPL.US)$股價表現落後於大盤:自去年12月以來,該股上漲了9%,而標準普爾500指數(S&P500)則上漲了16%。但該股一直在上漲,並有望連續第七個交易日上漲。
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.
週三,該股上漲1.5%,至144.21美元。如果這一價格保持不變,股價將超過1月26日創下的142.70美元的歷史收盤高點。該股在1月25日創下盤中高點--145.04美元。這波漲勢已將蘋果市值推高至2.4萬億美元,比微軟21億美元的估值高出約3,000億美元。
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.
有幾個因素似乎對股市上漲起到了推波助瀾的作用。一些分析師指出,蘋果股價往往會在夏季季度跑贏大盤,之後該公司將於9月份發佈年度新款iPhone。雖然蘋果尚未發表任何言論,但外界普遍預計該公司將在9月季度末之前發佈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,分析師報告稱,最近蘋果新手機的生產訂單有所增加,對iPhone 12系列的需求也依然強勁。儘管考慮到Mac和iPad需求的激增,蘋果在未來幾個季度將面臨一些艱難的比較,但看漲人士認為,強勁的需求將在未來幾個季度持續下去。
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月當季,該公司報告營收896億美元,增長54%,iPhone營收增長66%,服務營收增長27%,Mac和iPad營收分別增長70%和79%。中國的銷售額增長了88%,美洲增長了35%,日本增長了49%,亞洲其他地區增長了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.
蘋果沒有提供詳細的6月份季度業績指引,但指出,由於iPhone 12發佈日期較晚,以及零部件短缺的一些影響,3月份季度的環比降幅可能會高於往年。該公司在3月份的季度電話會議上表示,由於供應限制,第二季度營收可能會減少30億至40億美元。
The Street sees June quarter revenue of $72.9 billion with profits of $1 a share.
華爾街預計6月份這個季度的收入為729億美元,利潤為每股1美元。
