2012年《财富》500强排名:第6位 2012年利润(单位:百万美元):41,733 史蒂夫•乔布斯逝去后的第一年,苹果公司在我们的盈利20强榜单上的排名攀升了一位。至于苹果公司能在榜上待多久,那是另外一回事。苹果公司2012年的骄人业绩要归功于iPhone。仅2012年第四季度,iPhone销量便实现同比增长了58%。但iPad的销量增长放缓,让习惯了苹果产品热销的果粉和投资者感到有些失望。同时,由于投资者担心苹果需求、供应链问题、利润率收窄,加之竞争对手三星电子(Samsung)及后者搭载Android操作系统的智能手机所带来的威胁,苹果公司股价较2012年9月创下的历史高位已下跌超过40%。 ——T.Z. |
Fortune 500 rank: 6 2012 profit (millions): 41,733 In its first year without Steve Jobs, Apple managed to climb a notch on our list of most profitable companies. How long it can stay there is another story. 2012 results were driven by the iPhone. In the fourth quarter alone, sales of the smartphone spiked 58% year over year. But sales growth for the iPad dropped, disappointing fanboys and investors used to blowout results. Meanwhile shares have dropped about 40% since September's all-time high on worries over demand, supply issues, shrinking profit margins, and the looming threat of rival Samsung and its Android-driven devices. --T.Z. |
