我開盤前其實已經整理好Block(SQ)最新的2023Q2財報數據,當時看完後並沒有覺得非常差。現在開盤後,看到SQ目前是大跌12%中,其實是有點小意外。
在財報電話會議,他們事實上是調高了全年盈利預期,其他部分也看不到什麼悲觀的言論,給我感覺整體業務環境應該是穩定的。
Moving to our full year 2023 profit guidance. As we progressed further into the year, we have better line of sight into our planned expenses, and our updated guidance today reflects this. We're increasing our expectations for profitability in 2023 and now expect to deliver adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 billion and adjusted operating income of $25 million for the full year 2023. We expect to achieve profitability on an adjusted operating income basis for the year, which is inclusive of share-based compensation expenses. We continue to expect year-over-year margin expansion on both an adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income basis.
不過,現在回頭來再消化一次財報數據,開始有點理解為何市場感到失望。
SQ的業務趨勢(商家、Cash App、先買後付),理論上應該會比較貼近於經濟環境,所以我們可以理解它各項增長數據在2022年都滿艱難的,不管是營收年增率(Organic)還是毛利潤增長,都是如此。
但到了2023Q2財報季,投資者基本上都在密切觀察一件事,即在宏觀經濟環境似乎趨於穩定的情況下,有哪些公司更能夠在業務上展開反彈?
從5月以來,SQ的股價從底部其實已經漲了不少,從55到80也漲了接近五成,算是市場押注的公司之一。
但目前看到的財報數據,似乎不太能反映上述的樂觀憧憬。
簡單看幾個數據。。。
