巴菲特“大撤退”!減持近一半惠普股份,持股比例降至5.2%
當地時間週一晚間,監管文件顯示,巴菲特旗下的伯克希爾哈撒韋減持近一半持有的惠普股份,最新持股比例為5.2%,即約5150萬股,市值約16億美元。根據公吿,有關減持行動是在上次公佈持股後至11月30日止的期間發生。
10月初時,該公司披露,9月中開始連續9個交易天出售惠普股份,令其持股量降至近10%。FactSet數據顯示,伯克希爾仍然是惠普的第三大機構股東,僅次於貝萊德和先鋒集團。
消息傳出後,惠普股價週一盤後交易中下跌超1%。

伯克希爾最初於2022年4月購買惠普。對科技股一直不太感冒的巴菲特,這一舉動一度令市場感到十分意外。彼時,巴菲特掌管的伯克希爾擁有1.2億股惠普的股票。據此前報道,巴菲特的持倉成本在30美元左右。
然而,由於該股仍低於首次購買時的水平,這一押注並沒有帶來多少利潤。公司股價今年累計上升了13% ,表現遜於納斯達克綜合指數,後者今年已經累升近38% 。
分析人士此前猜測,這位“奧馬哈先知”(Oracle of Omaha)的意圖是完全拋售這家公司。這位 93 歲的投資偶像將持有的股票視為企業的一部分,因此他通常會在開始出售股票後清倉。
“我們不削減頭寸。這不是我們處理問題的方式,就像我們100%收購一家企業一樣。”他曾經説道。
下一財季業績指引低於預期
上個月,惠普公佈的第四財季報吿顯示,由於PC市場增速未能達到預期,惠普第四財季銷售額表現不佳。同時,公司對下一財季的前瞻指引也低於預期。
惠普預計,在截至明年1月的2024財年第一財季,公司扣除部分項目後的每股利潤將為0.76-0.86美元,分析師平均預期為0.85美元。
不過,惠普首席執行官恩裏克·洛雷斯(Enrique Lores)在財報發佈後表示,他預計在新的財年惠普營收將有所改善,PC市場在2024年有望回暖。
最近,市場分析人士已經開始看到該行業的復甦跡象,例如國際數據機構IDC在10月報吿中寫道,儘管全球經濟依然低迷,但個人電腦市場已經“走出低谷”。
該公司表示,它計劃在明年下半年推出 AI PC,並預計其滲透率將逐步提高。
惠普CEO洛雷斯表示,“雖然我們認為市場不會立即轉向 AI PC,但我們認為需求的增加將是逐步的,2024年會有一些增長,2025年和2026 年的滲透率將會更高。”
