Whether Apple's share-price plunge is justified comes down to one question: Is the iPhone maker a hardware or a software company? Right now, it is more the latter. And that is why the 22% drop in the shares since their September peak creates an opportunity for investors.
苹果股价的重挫是否有其合理性取决于一个问题:这家生产iPhone的企业到底是一家硬件公司还是软件公司?目前看来它更像后者。也正因为如此,该股价格较今年9月高点下跌22%这一事实才会给投资者创造一个逢低买进的机会。
Hardware's history is ugly, thanks to rapid advances in technology. Sony's once-popular Walkman was made obsolete, its televisions commoditized. Neither scale nor manufacturing expertise protected Dell or Hewlett-Packard in personal computers. The iPhone helped cause the share-price collapses of Nokia and Research In Motion. The collective market capitalization of these five companies is just $75 billion today, according to FactSet. Apple's is seven times larger.
由于科技的快速发展,硬件产品的发展历史充满险阻。索尼公司(Sony)曾经风靡一时的随身听(Walkman)已被淘汰,其电视机也已经廉价商品化。在个人电脑领域,无论是规模化还是制造专长都未能保护住戴尔(Dell)和惠普(Hewlett-Packard)。iPhone在一定程度上导致了诺基亚(Nokia)和黑莓生产商Research In Motion的股价暴跌。FactSet的数据显示,上述五家公司的市值总和当前仅为750亿美元。而苹果的市值约为这五家公司市值总和的七倍。
