Will Apple fall to $2 trillion? Will it keep climbing to $4 trillion? The math is easy with Apple at $3 trillion, as it basically boils down to whether it will lose a third of its value or rise by a third of its value. Let&#39;s check with both camps.<blockquote>战场设置好了。苹果会跌至2万亿美元吗？它会继续攀升至4万亿美元吗？对于3万亿美元的苹果来说，数学很简单，因为它基本上可以归结为它是会损失三分之一的价值还是会增加三分之一的价值。让我们向两个阵营核实一下。</blockquote>The case for $2 trillion<blockquote>2万亿美元的案例</blockquote>The consumer tech tastemaker has been a wealth-altering investment over the years, but that doesn&#39;t mean that it only moves up. Apple has shed more than a third of its value five times over the past 16 years, averaging a major drawdown every three years. The last pullback was naturally two years ago, when the market initially tanked as a result of the COVID-19 crisis hitting the U.S., but Apple fared better than most growth stocks with a mere 35% decline at that point. The stock has more than tripled from the last drawdown 22 months ago, so one might even suggest that Apple is due for a swift correction.<blockquote>多年来，消费科技风向标一直是一项改变财富的投资，但这并不意味着它只会上升。在过去的16年里，苹果已经五次贬值超过三分之一，平均每三年大幅贬值一次。上一次回调自然是在两年前，当时市场最初因新冠肺炎危机袭击美国而下跌，但苹果的表现优于大多数成长型股票，当时仅下跌了35%。自 22 个月前上次下跌以来，该股已上涨两倍多，因此人们甚至可能认为苹果将迅速回调。</blockquote>Right now it&#39;s easy to be bullish on Apple. As big as the class act of Cupertino may be, it still managed to grow its net sales by 33% in fiscal 2021. However, just as the stock averages a drawdown every three years, it has seen a spike in sales once every three years when there&#39;s a major iPhone upgrade. Apple&#39;s top line saw double-digit growth in fiscal 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021. The years between those pops all saw single-digit or sometimes even negative top-line growth. History looks set to repeat, as analysts see net sales climbing just 4% this year and 5% in fiscal 2023.<blockquote>现在很容易看好苹果。尽管库比蒂诺集体法案规模庞大，但它在 2021 财年的净销售额仍增长了 33%。然而，正如该股平均每三年下跌一次一样，当 iPhone 进行重大升级时，每三年销量就会飙升一次。苹果的营收在 2012 财年、2015 财年、2018 财年和 2021 财年均实现两位数增长。在这两次爆发之间的几年里，营收都出现了个位数甚至负增长。历史似乎将会重演，分析师预计今年净销售额仅增长 4%，2023 财年净销售额仅增长 5%。</blockquote>Another thing about the iPhone -- clearly the primary driver here at 52% of the $365.8 billion in sales Apple posted for all of fiscal 2021 -- is that it&#39;s not growing market share. This continues to be an Android world for the masses, and that&#39;s not expected to change anytime soon.<blockquote>iPhone 的另一件事是它的市场份额没有增长——显然是苹果公布的 2021 财年 3658 亿美元销售额的 52%。这仍然是一个面向大众的Android世界，预计这种情况不会很快改变。</blockquote>The iPhone&#39;s market share peaked nine years ago. It&#39;s been sliding outside of the short-lived spikes, with Android growing at the expense of Apple&#39;s iOS. Here&#39;s the percentage of worldwide smartphone shipments that are expected to be iPhones in the coming years, according to industry tracker IDC:<blockquote>iPhone 的市场份额在九年前达到顶峰。随着Android以苹果iOS为代价的增长，它一直在滑出短暂的高峰。根据行业追踪机构 IDC 的数据，以下是未来几年预计 iPhone 在全球智能手机出货量中的百分比：</blockquote><ul><li>2021 -- 16.2%</li><li>2022 -- 15.9%</li><li>2023 -- 15.6%</li><li>2024 -- 15.3%</li><li>2025 -- 15.1%</li></ul>The iPhone may have the high-end market cornered, and the new M1-powered Macs look pretty sweet. However, these are premium products. If the economy buckles -- and you know that&#39;s a very realistic scenario right now -- Apple could easily give back a third of the monster gains it has garnered over the past two years.<blockquote><ul><li>2021--16.2%</li><li>2022--15.9%</li><li>2023--15.6%</li><li>2024--15.3%</li><li>2025--15.1%</li></ul>iPhone可能会占领高端市场，而搭载M1的新Mac电脑看起来相当可爱。然而，这些都是优质产品。如果经济陷入困境——你知道这是现在非常现实的情况——苹果可以轻松返还过去两年获得的巨额收益的三分之一。</blockquote>The case for $4 trillion<blockquote>4万亿美元的案例</blockquote>Apple stock isn&#39;t exactly cheap, and at 33 times trailing earnings it&#39;s a rich price for a stock that musters double-digit growth just once every three years. However, there&#39;s something to be said about essentially cornering the market for people willing to pay a premium for phones, tablets, and computers.<blockquote>苹果的股票并不便宜，对于一只每三年才实现两位数增长的股票来说，历史市盈率为 33 倍，这是一个很高的价格。然而，对于愿意为手机、平板电脑和电脑支付溢价的人来说，从根本上垄断市场是有道理的。</blockquote>Apple&#39;s ability to command a healthy mark-up on its products makes it special, and that&#39;s before we consider the high-margin power of its services segment, which now accounts for nearly a fifth of its revenue. Apple may be at $3 trillion for the time being, but the company itself has never been as potent as it is right now.<blockquote>苹果能够对其产品进行健康的加价，这使其与众不同，而这还是在我们考虑其服务部门的高利润率力量之前，该部门目前占其收入的近五分之一。苹果目前可能达到 3 万亿美元，但该公司本身从未像现在这样强大。</blockquote>What if this isn&#39;t the peak? What if the mobile5G revolution extends the upgrade cycle? Apple has routinely defined markets -- for everything from tablets to smartphones to smartwatches -- where others have fallen short. Do you really think an Apple car wouldn&#39;t sell briskly if it ever came out? Apple is unique in that it succeeds far more than it fails when it thinks outside the box. It&#39;s true that the stock&#39;s valuation isn&#39;t for the timid, and it&#39;s not as if its 0.5% yield is wooing income investors. However, Apple finds a way to make magic happen. Hitting $4 trillion would be just the next trick for tech&#39;s ultimate magician that can always read your mind. It&#39;s a gift that you don&#39;t want to be against.<blockquote>如果这不是巅峰呢？如果mobile5G革命延长了升级周期怎么办？苹果经常定义从平板电脑到智能手机再到智能手表等各种产品的市场，而其他市场却未能做到这一点。你真的认为苹果汽车一旦上市就不会卖得很快吗？苹果的独特之处在于，当它跳出框框思考时，它的成功远远多于失败。确实，该股的估值并不适合胆小的人，而且其 0.5% 的收益率也没有吸引收入投资者。然而，苹果找到了让奇迹发生的方法。达到4万亿美元将是科技终极魔术师的下一个把戏，他总是能读懂你的心思。这是一份你不想反对的礼物。</blockquote></body></html><blockquote></blockquote>","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>Is Apple Stock's Next Stop $2 Trillion or $4 Trillion?<blockquote>苹果股票的下一站是2万亿美元还是4万亿美元？</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\">\nIs Apple Stock's Next Stop $2 Trillion or $4 Trillion?<blockquote>苹果股票的下一站是2万亿美元还是4万亿美元？</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2022-01-05 10:07\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body>Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)kicked off the New Year with flair, becoming the first publicly traded company to top $3 trillion in market capitalization on Monday.
