2011《财富》美国500强10大烂股

第9名：NII 控股公司

    交易代码: NIHD

    年初至今股票表现: -55%

    市值: 35亿美元

    财富500强排名: 406

    NII控股公司专门在拉美市场提供Nextel品牌对讲移动设备。这家公司今年的表现可谓高开低走。第一季度业绩强劲，营收和净利润同比增长了26%。

    接下来的第二季度业绩也同样强劲，NII决定将全年营收指导值从66亿美元调高至71亿美元，但后来证明这是个错误的决定——由于销售额下降，汇率和税项因素导致费用上升，第三季度业绩没有达到预期。NII随后将指导值恢复到了第一季度的水平。

    “我们预计市场会对公司业绩的作出消极反应，”摩根大通（J.P. Morgan）在10月份的报告中警告称。2012年NII必须更努力，才能让投资者重新相信它能在抵御竞争升级的同时，在巴西、阿根廷和秘鲁扩大用户规模。

NII Holdings

    Ticker: NIHD

    YTD stock performance: -55%

    Market cap: $3.5 billion

    Fortune 500 rank: 406

    It's been an up-and-down year for NII Holdings, which specializes in push-to-talk mobile communications in Latin America under the Nextel brand. The company posted strong results for the first quarter of 2011, with revenue and earnings up 26% year to year.

    With a second strong quarter in the books as well, NII decided to raise its guidance on annual revenue to $7.1 billion from $6.6 billion. But the move proved a mistake as third-quarter results missed projections due to lower sales and higher expenses related to currency exchange and taxes. The company reverted to its guidance from the first quarter.

    "We expect a negative reaction to the results," J.P. Morgan warned in an October note. NII will have to work hard in 2012 to restore investor confidence in its ability to increase subscribers in Brazil, Argentina, and Peru, while fending off growing competition.
