财报更新

CSCO 最赚钱的产品是交换机,2017年的收入超过139亿美元。

CSCO 是以太网交换机的全球市场领导者,占有55% 的市场份额。

CSCO 也是基于收入来计算的第五大服务器供应商。

 

投资理念

CSCO的新增长计划已经凑效,致使该公司的股价从两个季度前的34.00美元重新调整至其52周高点的46.34美元。它的首席行政官一直致力将公司转型为更强大的软件供应商,远离其传统的硬件基础,以及建立一个以订阅为基础的模式。因此,过去几个季度的收入一直在稳步增长,最近一个季度的收入增长了4%,其中32%的收入来自经常性来源,同比增长2%。然而,最近有消息称,亚马逊 (纳斯达克股票代码:AMZN) 打算通过发布自己的交换机硬件来竞争,这使CSCO的股价暴跌超过4%。然而,我们认为市场的担忧被夸大了,而CSCO仍处于强势地位。照此,我们认为股价下跌正标志着这是买入CSCO的机会。

 

购买CSCO的理由

1) 近期股价的走势:CSCO 自2017年11月以来,一直处于强劲上升趋势。然而,由于来自AMZN的消息,它的股价于近期受到了冲击。它的价格接近200日移动均线,为40.59 美元,随后回落,至收于41.78美元。我们认为,这是CSCO的一个买入时机。

2) 来自亚马逊的竞争:据报道,在2018年7月13日,亚马逊网络服务公司正在考虑销售自己的网络交换设备。此外,预计他们的定价将比CSCO的硬件售价折让70-80%。这导致了在网络交换领域的其他公司的股价下跌,随着CSCO的股价下跌超过4%,Arista Networks (纽交所股票代码:ANET) 的跌幅也超过4%。

网络交换机可以更轻松地管理网络周围的流量。AWS 一直在自己的数据中心使用自己内部设计的网络设备,这些数据中心就是“白盒”设备。通俗地说,这些设备可以被认为是“开放源码”的,可以通过现成的交换芯片来驱动,并可以运行各种交换机操作系统。另一方面,CSCO 的交换机倾向于运行专有的操作系统,在某些情况下,由专有交换机专用集成电路(ASICs)提供支持。

首先,在2017年,硬件和软件的转换占产品收入的比例略高于三分之一。此外,AWS 的交换设备将主要针对数据中心,而尽管数据中心占收入的很大一部分,但就CSCO 而言,交换机并不是其主要的收入来源。

其次,虽然“白盒”交换机可能更受云计算运营商或其他软件开发商的欢迎,因为它们具有“开源”的性质,允许公司定制和设计自己的操作系统,但更多传统的企业对它们可能不那么开放,尽管它们的价格更便宜。由于这些交换机往往几乎没有软件,那些没有大型IT部门或者不想投入资源来开发和管理自己操作系统的企业,可能仍会选择从CSCO 这样的老牌供应商那里购买交换机。举个例子,与微软相比,Linux 是一个免费,开源和更灵活的操作系统,然而,微软仍然拥有更大的市场份额,因为大多数的公司不愿意投入资源来开发或订制自己的软件。因此,我们认为对来自AMZN的竞争的担忧过度,对CSCO的实际影响将是微乎其微的。

3) 公司转型:2015年,CSCO的现任首席行政官,Chuck Robbins接管的时候,该公司的营收正遭受停滞不前。他启动了CSCO的转型计划,将公司从传统的硬件业务转移到更多以软件为中心的业务。CSCO 发布了基于互联网的网络解决方案,更侧重于软件网络,改进安全性和人工智能的采用。该公司还开始转型,从依赖硬件产品获取收入转向更多基于订阅的模式,以创造一个更可预测的收入流。事实证明,这种以订阅为基础的模式对公司的增长是有利的,就像微软在其股价上所采用的那样。

4) 估值:CSCO 收于41.78美元,并且它的远期市盈率交易为16.10。CSCO的5年平均市盈率为15.62。2017年,CSCO的总收入为480亿美元。CSCO 于2017财年产生的自由现金流为129.1亿美元,并且能够持续增长自由现金流,高于2016财年的124.2亿美元,以及2015财年的113.3亿美元。CSCO 已能够保持低成本支出,致使2017财年获得非常给力的毛利率62.96%,高于2016财年的62.87%,和2015财年的60.38%。CSCO 的股息收益率为2.97%,派息为0.59。CSCO 在过去7年中连续实现红利增长,其5年平均增长率为26.40%。鉴于CSCO 强劲的财务状况和潜在的增长前景,我们认为目前的价格回落标志着买入的机会。

 

结论

我们认为,近期的价格回落,是由于AMZN潜在竞争的消息被夸大了。AMZN提供的产品对CSCO的潜在影响可能是微乎其微的。此外,CSCO 已经从传统的硬件业务转型以更多的软件为导向以及以订阅为基础的模式。因此,我们认为近期的价格下跌,正是买入的时机,我们看涨CSCO,因为1) 公司的转型计划以及2) 对CSCO 增长前景的估值。
