Walgreens Faces Nasdaq 100 Ouster Amid Financial Woes; Super Micro Computer Eyed As Replacement: Report
In a series of setbacks for Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA), the company is now at risk of being removed from the Nasdaq 100 index. The potential replacement is Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), which could mark another blow for the struggling pharmacy giant.
沃尔格林联盟公司（NASDAQ:WBA）近来遭遇一系列挫折，现在有可能被排除在纳斯达克100指数外。潜在替代品是超微电脑公司（NASDAQ:SMCI），这可能对这个陷入困境的药房巨头造成又一打击。
What Happened: Walgreens, which was ousted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average in February, is now facing the possibility of being dropped from the Nasdaq 100 index. The most likely candidate for its replacement is Super Micro Computer, as reported in Barron's feature on Thursday.
发生了什么：沃尔格林联盟公司在2月份被道琼斯工业平均指数（Dow Jones Industrial Average）清除后，现在面临被从纳斯达克100指数中删除的可能性。超微电脑最有可能成为其替代品，据《巴伦》周四报道。
Walgreens' shares plummeted by 22.2% to $12.19 on Thursday after the company announced the closure of several pharmacies and revised its financial guidance for the current fiscal year to around $2.87 a share, below the consensus of $3.21.
沃尔格林的股票在周四大跌22.2%，至12.19美元，此前该公司宣布关闭多家药店，并将本财年的财务预测修正至大约每股2.87美元，低于3.21美元的共识预期。
With a market value of approximately $10.5 billion, Walgreens is at risk of being removed from the Nasdaq 100, which requires its members to have a market value of at least 0.1% of the total market value, currently around $23 trillion. Walgreens is currently at about 0.05% and has the smallest market capitalization in the index.
以大约105亿美元的市值计算，沃尔格林可能被从纳斯达克100指数中剔除，该指数要求其成员的市值至少为总市值的0.1%，目前约为23万亿美元。沃尔格林目前的市值仅占0.05%，是该指数中市值最小的公司。
According to the NDX rules, a company can be dropped if it fails to maintain a 0.1% weighting at two consecutive month-ends and a suitable replacement can be found. Walgreens did not meet this requirement at the end of May and is unlikely to do so at the end of June.
根据纳斯达克100指数的规定，如果一家公司在连续两个月底未能保持0.1%的权重并且找到了合适的替代品，则可能被剔除。沃尔格林在5月底未满足这一要求，到6月底也不太可能满足。
Super Micro Computer, a leading server manufacturer for AI, has seen its stock triple this year. With a market value of around $52 billion, it is the most discussed potential addition to the NDX.
为人工智能生产服务器的超微电脑，今年的股票涨了两倍多，市值约为520亿美元，成为最受关注的可能成为纳斯达克100指数成分的公司。
Why It Matters: Walgreens' potential removal from the Nasdaq 100 is the latest in a series of challenges for the company. The stock has been on a downward trajectory since its peak of nearly $100 in 2015. The company was previously seen as a retail growth story similar to Costco and had a high price/earnings ratio due to its perceived strong position in the pharmacy business.
为沃尔格林联盟公司可能被纳斯达克100指数排除所带来的影响是这个公司遭遇的一系列挑战的最新体现。自2015年近100美元的高点以来，该公司的股票一直在走下坡路。该公司此前被视为与好市多类似的零售增长故事，并且由于其在药房业务中的看似坚固地位而拥有高市盈率。
However, the recent announcement of pharmacy closures and a revised financial outlook have further dampened investor confidence. The potential removal from the Nasdaq 100 could have significant implications for the company's stock and its position in the market.
然而，最近宣布关闭药店和修正财务预测的公告进一步削弱了投资者的信心。被从纳斯达克100指数中删除可能会给该公司的股票和在市场中的地位带来重大影响。
These developments also highlight the broader trends in the tech sector, which has been trailing behind communication services in recent months.
这些发展也凸显了科技行业的更广泛趋势，近几个月一直落后于通信服务。
