Thursday morning brought a brief break to the upward momentum on Wall Street, but declines for major market benchmarks were inconsequential. As of 10:15 a.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI)was down just 16 points to 34,917. The S&P 500(SNPINDEX:^GSPC)gave up seven points to 4,367, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC)fell just a single point to 14,644.\nIn good times and bad,blue chip stocksoffer a level of stability and security that fit many investors' risk profiles. This morning, UnitedHealth Group(NYSE:UNH) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) weighed in with their latest financial reports, and even though their share prices were mixed, both companies have high-quality businesses with plenty of prospects for growth. Below, we'll look more closely at what each company said and how they see the future playing out.\nA healthy health insurer\nHealth insurance giant UnitedHealth saw its stock ease lower by about half a percent at mid-morning after having been up during the premarket trading session Thursday. The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.\nUnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.\nNevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.\nInvestors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.\nChip shortages help Taiwan Semi\nElsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.\nTaiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.\nHowever, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.\nTaiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":170176224,"gmtCreate":1626416217668,"gmtModify":1633926930716,"author":{"id":"3582007328932461","authorId":"3582007328932461","name":"HEYEOH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c45d4be430134ef68c1a287611337dd4","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"wearingBadges":[],"authorIdStr":"3582007328932461","idStr":"3582007328932461"},"htmlText":"Oh","listText":"Oh","text":"Oh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/170176224","repostId":1129331624,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129331624","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626399205,"share":"https://www.laohunote.com/m/news/1129331624?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-16 09:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129331624","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.\n\nKey Points\n\nMarkets were mixed Thursda","content":" Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.

The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.<blockquote>健康保险巨头 UnitedHealth 的股价在周四盘前交易时段上涨后，上午中午下跌约 0.5%。该公司第二季度的财务业绩显示了即使在极具挑战性的条件下，医疗保健行业的弹性。</blockquote> UnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</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>2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</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\">\n2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2021-07-16 09:33\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.

Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/15/2-blue-chip-stocks-investors-cant-afford-to-ignore/\">Motley Fool</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSM":"台积电","UNH":"联合健康"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/15/2-blue-chip-stocks-investors-cant-afford-to-ignore/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129331624","content_text":"Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.\n\nKey Points\n\nMarkets were mixed Thursday morning.\nDuring times of stock market volatility, blue chip stocks can be great ideas.\nThese two blue chips issued solid earnings reports Thursday morning.\n\n\nWith the stock market near all-time highs, investors are on the lookout for places to invest spare cash.

Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.\nNevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.\nInvestors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.\nChip shortages help Taiwan Semi\nElsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.\nTaiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.\nHowever, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.\nTaiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSM":0.9,"UNH":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":170332446,"gmtCreate":1626403733285,"gmtModify":1633927048805,"author":{"id":"3574482226668735","authorId":"3574482226668735","name":"Kev_jc","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/100d30822bf43177ac8800a94362e06c","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"wearingBadges":[],"authorIdStr":"3574482226668735","idStr":"3574482226668735"},"htmlText":"Oh","listText":"Oh","text":"Oh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/170332446","repostId":1129331624,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129331624","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626399205,"share":"https://www.laohunote.com/m/news/1129331624?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-16 09:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129331624","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.\n\nKey Points\n\nMarkets were mixed Thursda","content":" Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.

Below, we'll look more closely at what each company said and how they see the future playing out.<blockquote>无论顺境还是逆境，蓝筹股都能提供一定程度的稳定性和安全性，适合许多投资者的风险状况。今天早上，联合健康集团（纽约证券交易所代码：UNH）和台积电（纽约证券交易所股票代码：TSM）发布了最新的财务报告，尽管股价好坏参半，但两家公司都拥有高质量的业务，具有广阔的增长前景。下面，我们将仔细看看每家公司的说法以及他们如何看待未来。</blockquote> A healthy health insurer<blockquote>健康的健康保险公司</blockquote> Health insurance giant UnitedHealth saw its stock ease lower by about half a percent at mid-morning after having been up during the premarket trading session Thursday. The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.<blockquote>健康保险巨头 UnitedHealth 的股价在周四盘前交易时段上涨后，上午中午下跌约 0.5%。该公司第二季度的财务业绩显示了即使在极具挑战性的条件下，医疗保健行业的弹性。</blockquote> UnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</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>2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</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\">\n2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2021-07-16 09:33\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.

The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.<blockquote>健康保险巨头 UnitedHealth 的股价在周四盘前交易时段上涨后，上午中午下跌约 0.5%。该公司第二季度的财务业绩显示了即使在极具挑战性的条件下，医疗保健行业的弹性。</blockquote> UnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/15/2-blue-chip-stocks-investors-cant-afford-to-ignore/\">Motley Fool</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSM":"台积电","UNH":"联合健康"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/15/2-blue-chip-stocks-investors-cant-afford-to-ignore/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129331624","content_text":"Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.\n\nKey Points\n\nMarkets were mixed Thursday morning.\nDuring times of stock market volatility, blue chip stocks can be great ideas.\nThese two blue chips issued solid earnings reports Thursday morning.\n\n\nWith the stock market near all-time highs, investors are on the lookout for places to invest spare cash.

The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.<blockquote>健康保险巨头 UnitedHealth 的股价在周四盘前交易时段上涨后，上午中午下跌约 0.5%。该公司第二季度的财务业绩显示了即使在极具挑战性的条件下，医疗保健行业的弹性。</blockquote> UnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/15/2-blue-chip-stocks-investors-cant-afford-to-ignore/\">Motley Fool</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSM":"台积电","UNH":"联合健康"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/15/2-blue-chip-stocks-investors-cant-afford-to-ignore/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129331624","content_text":"Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.\n\nKey Points\n\nMarkets were mixed Thursday morning.\nDuring times of stock market volatility, blue chip stocks can be great ideas.\nThese two blue chips issued solid earnings reports Thursday morning.\n\n\nWith the stock market near all-time highs, investors are on the lookout for places to invest spare cash.

Below, we'll look more closely at what each company said and how they see the future playing out.<blockquote>无论顺境还是逆境，蓝筹股都能提供一定程度的稳定性和安全性，适合许多投资者的风险状况。今天早上，联合健康集团（纽约证券交易所代码：UNH）和台积电（纽约证券交易所股票代码：TSM）发布了最新的财务报告，尽管股价好坏参半，但两家公司都拥有高质量的业务，具有广阔的增长前景。下面，我们将仔细看看每家公司的说法以及他们如何看待未来。</blockquote> A healthy health insurer<blockquote>健康的健康保险公司</blockquote> Health insurance giant UnitedHealth saw its stock ease lower by about half a percent at mid-morning after having been up during the premarket trading session Thursday. The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.<blockquote>健康保险巨头 UnitedHealth 的股价在周四盘前交易时段上涨后，上午中午下跌约 0.5%。该公司第二季度的财务业绩显示了即使在极具挑战性的条件下，医疗保健行业的弹性。</blockquote> UnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</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>2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</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\">\n2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2021-07-16 09:33\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.

Below, we'll look more closely at what each company said and how they see the future playing out.<blockquote>无论顺境还是逆境，蓝筹股都能提供一定程度的稳定性和安全性，适合许多投资者的风险状况。今天早上，联合健康集团（纽约证券交易所代码：UNH）和台积电（纽约证券交易所股票代码：TSM）发布了最新的财务报告，尽管股价好坏参半，但两家公司都拥有高质量的业务，具有广阔的增长前景。下面，我们将仔细看看每家公司的说法以及他们如何看待未来。</blockquote> A healthy health insurer<blockquote>健康的健康保险公司</blockquote> Health insurance giant UnitedHealth saw its stock ease lower by about half a percent at mid-morning after having been up during the premarket trading session Thursday. The company's second-quarter financial results showed just how resilient the healthcare industry has been even under highly challenging conditions.<blockquote>健康保险巨头 UnitedHealth 的股价在周四盘前交易时段上涨后，上午中午下跌约 0.5%。该公司第二季度的财务业绩显示了即使在极具挑战性的条件下，医疗保健行业的弹性。</blockquote> UnitedHealth got good results throughout its business. Overall sales grew 15% year over year, with roughly equal top-line gains for the UnitedHealthcare insurance division and the Optum health services business segment. Adjusted earnings of $4.70 per share topped expectations, and the company increased its outlook for the rest of 2021.<blockquote>UnitedHealth 在整个业务中都取得了良好的业绩。整体销售额同比增长 15%，其中 UnitedHealthcare insurance 部门和 Optum health services 业务部门的营收增长大致相同。调整后每股收益 4.70 美元超出预期，该公司上调了 2021 年剩余时间的展望。</blockquote> Nevertheless, UnitedHealth's profits were down substantially from year-ago levels. That's largely because lockdowns during the second quarter of 2020 led to the near-elimination of routine doctor visits and non-essential medical procedures, and that in turn led to a huge decrease in healthcare claims activity during the year-ago period. Investors should expect future earnings to remain closer to current levels, as that one-time spike is highly unlikely to recur.<blockquote>尽管如此，联合健康的利润仍较去年同期大幅下降。这主要是因为2020年第二季度的封锁导致常规医生就诊和非必要的医疗程序几乎被取消，这反过来又导致去年同期医疗保健索赔活动大幅减少。投资者应该预计未来盈利将保持更接近当前水平，因为一次性飙升不太可能再次出现。</blockquote> Investors see UnitedHealth's prospects remaining strongfor the foreseeable future. With such a strong track record of handling the ever-shifting healthcare industry in the U.S., UnitedHealth has proven its ability to roll with the punches and maintain steady growth.<blockquote>投资者认为，在可预见的未来，联合健康的前景仍然强劲。凭借在处理美国不断变化的医疗保健行业方面的良好记录，UnitedHealth已经证明了其有能力掌控局面并保持稳定增长。</blockquote> Chip shortages help Taiwan Semi<blockquote>芯片短缺帮助台湾半导体</blockquote> Elsewhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its stock drop 5%. The decline in the stock didn't seem consistent with the strong results the foundry had during the second quarter.<blockquote>其他方面，台积电股价下跌 5%。该股的下跌似乎与该代工厂第二季度的强劲业绩不一致。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi saw revenue jump nearly 20% year over year, which in part stemmed from the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips that has affected so many industries across the stock market. Companies in the high-performance computing, mobile device, and automotive industriesall rely on Taiwan Semifor its top-of-the-line 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer chip technology, and many of those companies have had to cut production and prioritize their needs because of their inability to get sufficient volumes of semiconductors.<blockquote>台湾半导体的收入同比增长近20%，部分原因是半导体芯片持续短缺，影响了整个股市的许多行业。高性能计算、移动设备和汽车行业的公司都依赖台积电的顶级 5 纳米和 7 纳米芯片技术，其中许多公司不得不削减产量并优先考虑其需求，因为他们无法获得足够数量的半导体。</blockquote> However, what might have prompted the decline in the stock were comments from Taiwan Semi's CEO. C.C. Wei believes the company will continue to boost deliveries to customers in need, particularly in the auto industry. Because the semiconductor business is cyclical, investors are used to big swings between shortages and supply gluts, and any sign of such a reversal often comes with a hit to the share price.<blockquote>然而，可能引发该股下跌的是台湾森美首席执行官的言论。C.C魏相信公司将继续增加对有需要的客户的交付，特别是汽车行业的客户。由于半导体业务具有周期性，投资者习惯于短缺和供应过剩之间的大幅波动，而这种逆转的任何迹象往往都会对股价造成打击。</blockquote> Taiwan Semi shares had already doubledin just over a year's time, so a slight pullback isn't unwarranted. Nevertheless, the stock drop is a good reminder that even top companies can be vulnerable to cyclical swings in their businesses.<blockquote>台湾半导体股价在短短一年多的时间里已经翻了一番，因此小幅回调并非没有道理。然而，股价下跌很好地提醒人们，即使是顶级公司也可能容易受到业务周期性波动的影响。</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>2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</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\">\n2 Blue Chip Stocks Investors Can't Afford to Ignore<blockquote>投资者不容忽视的2只蓝筹股</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nMotley Fool2021-07-16 09:33\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n Investors looking for great companies should scope them out.
