Amazon stock study - Oct 26, 2019

两家云服务增速都放缓

24日美股盘后,微软和亚马逊都发布了最新的季度财报。

据《21世纪经济报道》梳理,在截至9月30日的微软2020财年第一季度,该公司的智能云业务表现抢眼,营收达108亿美元,同比增长27%。其中,得益于Azure营收59%的增长,服务器产品和云服务营收增长30%,企业级服务营收增长7%。

不过,尽管本财季Azure营收依然保持了较高的增长,但这一增速继续呈现逐渐放缓的趋势。目前这部分业务营收已连续8个季度增速下降(含持平),上一财年同期增速为76%。

另一方面,亚马逊本财年第三季度的利润同比下降26%,至21亿美元,合每股4.23美元,低于分析师普遍预期的每股4.59美元,这也是该公司自2017年以来首次出现季度利润同比下滑。

与此同时,亚马逊AWS云服务当季营收为90亿美元,略低于分析师91亿美元的预期,其35%的增速也创2015年有数据披露以来的新低。

CNBC报道称,过去4年,亚马逊的大部分营业利润来自AWS云服务,因此这部分业务的增长放缓,可能会拖累该公司未来的收益。

Introduction


It is my job to work on individual stock research. I like to put 20 stock on my watch list or wish list. I purchased MSFT stock back in 2001, and I like to put MSFT stock in my watch. When should  invest MSFT stock?

Microsoft stock research


I did purchase MSFT stock in 2011, but I sold it in less than a few years. I learned a few weeks ago, in 2010 $1000 dollar in MSFT stock, the value will be $8,000 dollars. I purchased 10 shares in 2001 December, at that time, I was a home maker and then I worked on my 401 K with Scottrade.com.

Case study: MSFT stock purchase December 2001

Oct. 12, 2019

Introduction


It is time for me to do a short case study on MSFT stock.

Case study


I bought Microsoft stock back in 2001, and I paid price around $60.00 dollars; and then I sold as a loss after a year or two. 

Here is my personal finance log related to stock purchase. 

If you invested $1,000 in Microsoft and Apple at IPO, this one would have made you 4 times as rich

A $1,000 investment in Apple on the day of its IPO on December 12, 1980, would be worth more than $425,000 today, according to CNBC calculations. However, a $1,000 investment in Microsoft on the day of its IPO on March 13, 1986, would be worth more than $1.7 million, or around four times more.
Those figures include price appreciation and dividends. Returns also account for stock splits and other corporate events.

Microsoft 


Microsoft’s popularity began to wane in the early 2000s as it released a string of unpopular products and failed to keep up with modern trends but, when Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, he oversaw a major turnaround.

Since Nadella took over, Microsoft’s share price has nearly tripled. In November, it dethroned Apple as the most valuable public company in the world, with a market cap of more than $850 billion. If Microsoft holds onto the spot through the end of the year, it will mark the first time since 2002 that the company closes out in the top position.

From 2014 to 2019, the stock of Microsoft tripled.
