🔴Wednesday May 12th 2021 🔵2021年5月12日星期三 🔱Espresso - Today’s agenda 每日濃縮 - 今日頭條 💰🇯🇵📈On a roll: SoftBank Group 日本軟銀集團:苦盡甘來 Just a year ago, SoftBank Group posted a huge annual loss. Today Son Masayoshi, its founder and CEO, may announce the largest quarterly profit recorded by a listed Japanese firm in three decades. Its $98.6bn Vision Fund is expected to report up to $30bn of profit for the quarter ending March 2021. Coupang, a Seoul-based e-commerce superstar, has turbocharged the quarter. Its New York IPO in March contributed between $25bn and $30bn to profits. But the fund has problem children, too. Softbank is expected to have taken writedowns on Greensill Capital, a supply-chain finance firm, and Oyo Hotels, a struggling Indian hotel chain. Investors will want to know how recent falls in the value of tech stocks have affected Softbank’s portfolio of listed shares, and what its risk-taking Northstar asset-management unit has been up to. But compared with the bad news Mr Son has had to deliver in recent years, tomorrow’s results will be a welcome change. 約莫一年前,日本軟銀集團 (SoftBank Group) 才公佈了巨大的年度虧損;但今天,其創辦人兼營運長孫正義 (Son Masayoshi) 卻很可能宣佈這家日本上市公司三十年以來最高的季度營收記錄。軟銀旗下規模 986億美元的願景創投基金 (Vision Fund) 有望在 2021年 3月截止的首季,獲利高達 300億美元。(由該基金投資的) 南韓電商一哥 Coupang 的首季表現亦馬力十足。其於 (今年) 3月時在 (美國) 紐約證交所的首次公開募股 (IPO,Initial Public Offering) 為 Coupang 貢獻了 250至 300億美元的收益。不過該基金的投資有賺也有賠。(由於資產的估值相對於市場價值過高,) 軟銀預計將減記 (writedown) 其供應鏈融資公司 Greensill Capital 以及苦苦掙扎求生的印度連鎖酒店 Oyo Hotels 的資產帳面價值。投資人希望了解最近科技類股走跌會如何影響軟銀上市股票的投資組合,以及軟銀負責操盤科技類股並承擔風險的資產管理部門 Northstar 將如何因應。但與孫正義近年來不得不發表的 (一連串) 壞消息相比,明天的結果將會是一個可喜可賀的變化。 ⚜️Daily takeaway⚜️ 每日單字精選 ✅Annual (adj.): 年度的 (形) ✅Quarterly (adj./adv.): 每季的 (形)、每季地 (副) ✅Decade (n.): 十年 (名) ✅E-commerce (n.): 電子商務 (名) ✅Contribute (v.): 貢獻、有助於 (動) ✅Supply-chain (n.): 供應鏈 (名) ✅Recent (adj.): 最近的、近來的 (形) ✅Asset-management (n.): 資產管理 (名) ✅Compared with (v.): 與…相比 (動) — ✔︎ 按讚【每日一經濟學人】Facebook 粉專:https://reurl.cc/Lddode ✔︎ 追蹤【每日一經濟學人】Instagram 帳號:https://reurl.cc/Oqqoq3 ✔︎ 訂閱【每日一經濟學人】YouTube 頻道:https://reurl.cc/Y665dX ✔︎ 閱讀【每日一經濟學人】Medium 平台:https://reurl.cc/k00WZr — 🔶如有商業合作或業務需求,請洽:[email protected] 🔴如影音內容有誤,歡迎來信勘誤:[email protected] -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
