科技股跌惨,但这4只股票需另当别论

科技股跌惨,但这4只股票需另当别论

Anne Sraders 2022-02-12
一位基金经理认为,当前情况并未对软件行业构成“结构上”的利空。

最近一段时间,科技股投资者的日子很不好过。受通胀压力、利率上升和美国国债收益率走高等因素影响,纳斯达克指数在过去一个月大幅下跌,即便经过上周五的大涨之后,下跌幅度依然接近7%,与此同时,华尔街则在消化财报造成的不利影响(Facebook母公司Meta等科技巨头的表现令投资者大失所望)。但在我们进入2022年之际,面对这个动荡的板块,有位投资组合经理却并未丧失信心。

布鲁克·戴恩在高盛资产管理公司(Goldman Sachs Asset Management)任董事总经理兼投资组合经理一职,他负责管理的投资组合包括该公司的科技机遇基金(Technology Opportunities Fund)和未来科技领袖股票ETF(Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF)。在接受《财富》杂志采访时,戴恩表示,“总体而言,就目前的利率上涨情况来看,我们可以认为,股票市场已经超跌。”(过去三个月间,科技板块的跌幅已达两位数之多。)

戴恩正在关注一些值得大胆押注的股票,他认为,这些股票具备强势度过利率上升和技术股低潮阶段的动力。

软件是戴恩关注的关键领域之一。最近一段时间,全球软件行业的走势与科技板整体一样低迷,但戴恩认为,这是一种过度反应,根据高盛内部的一项研究结果,他估计“特别是高增长性软件公司,其10年期回报率将达到3%或略高的水平,”,与之相比,10年期美国国债的收益率目前为1.9%左右。戴恩指出,虽然当前市场已对“利率上升利空软件行业”达成“共识”,但他在看过数据后认为,当前情况并未对软件行业构成“结构上”的利空。

相反,戴恩认为,“考虑到许多企业在2022年、2023年和2024年或将迎来高速增长,现在入场似乎也是值得考虑的选择。” 这也是为什么他说,高盛一直在利用此次股价下跌机会抄底部分其看好的科技股,这些股票的股价在最近几个月都出现了相当幅度的下跌。

2022年,押注四只科技股

戴恩指出,即使在高通胀环境下,软件也能帮助企业提高生产力和运营效率,从而“帮助企业缓解不断上升的成本压力。”

自动化软件开发企业UiPath是戴恩看好的公司之一,其核心产品是所谓“机器人流程自动化”软件。戴恩解释说,该公司开发的软件“实质上是机器学习和机器视觉两种技术的结合,可以帮助实现业务流程自动化”。他指出,该软件“可以解决一部分原本需要人工处理的重复性工作,从而提高工作效率”,对于那些试图留住或雇佣员工的企业而言,此类软件的出现无疑是件好事。戴恩特别提到了该公司极快的增长速度,其截至2022年1月31日止的财年收入增长预计可达46%,戴恩还指出,该公司的云产品和本地任务相关产品均实现了增长。

戴恩指出,去年4月上市后,UiPath的股价表现并不尽如人意,加之外界担心该公司获取新客户的能力不足,过去6个月间,该公司股价跌幅达44%,因而现在至少可以说,该公司股价距离顶峰尚有一段距离。但戴恩坚持认为,“UiPath仍处于发展的早期阶段,还需要让更广泛的市场看到自己的增长速度、业务特性和客户保持率具有可持续性。”他相信,随着该公司不断证明自己,“其股票或将得到市场重新估值。”华尔街估计,UiPath的收入在本财年的增幅将继续超过33%。戴恩认为,该公司是“投资回报率极高的投资标的,从商业角度来看,也是对冲通胀的绝佳选择。”

戴恩表示,上述趋势也会推动中国云企业软件公司——金蝶国际软件的发展。他指出,“中国正在大规模应用现代化SaaS(软件即服务)工具”,且“极为偏爱”国产产品,而金蝶正对中国市场的胃口。

戴恩他说,“中国企业对云技术的重视程度越来越高,我们可以看到许多国有企业在对其基本财务系统与核心ERP(企业资源规划)解决方案进行现代化改造,而金蝶也将从中受益匪浅。”该公司的增长一直非常强劲,据估计,在截至2021年12月31日止的2021财年中,该公司的营收增长可达30%,另据分析师估计,在2022财年,该公司的销售额将增长25%左右。但戴恩认为,金蝶和Uipath两家公司今年的财报很可能将会超出外界预期。

去年,苹果(Apple)对隐私政策进行了调整,新政施行之后,企业要想在用户切换应用时追踪其操作,必须获得用户授权。这一变化对许多科技企业的广告业务造成了影响,Meta等科技巨头的股价也因此承压(Meta表示,受新政影响,该公司将在2022年损失约100亿美元)。但戴恩认为,作为一家帮助移动应用和游戏开发者打造应用、融入广告业务的公司,AppLovin受苹果新政的负面影响相对较小。戴恩说:“使其得以适应市场的真正原因在于,该公司能够从自己的游戏和广告网络中获得第一手数据。”

戴恩表示,在苹果施行新政之后,“广告网络将仅能看到有限的客户信息,因此,第一手数据将成为一笔货真价实的财富。”AppLovin的财报就能很好地证明这一点。在截至2021年12月31日止的2021财年,该公司的营收增长据估计可达92%,另据华尔街估计,该公司在2022财年的销售额或将增长约40%。戴恩认为,市场“大大低估了此项业务的核心增长率”(该股股价上个月下跌约16%)。据戴恩介绍,该公司最近还斥资约11亿美元收购了Twitter的广告平台MoPub,此举将进一步扩大其广告网络。

戴恩还很看好社交媒体平台Snap的发展前景。在刚刚发布的第四季度财报中,Snap首次宣布实现季度盈利,受此消息影响,该股股价迎来一轮暴涨。特别值得一提的是,戴恩认为Snap“在增强现实等领域处于领先地位”,而且“他们的社区非常活跃”。在各界普遍担心苹果隐私政策的调整将造成何种影响之际,戴恩指出,该股的估值已经“大幅回落”(截至目前,其远期市盈率低于77倍,过去6个月间,其交易量下降约49%),戴恩认为,经过深度回调之后,“该股已为反弹做好了充足准备。”

市场剧烈动荡之际,科技板投资者难免有些紧张,但戴恩鼓励他们从历史中找寻信心:“在过去20年里,科技板出现过很多次类似的回调,因为某种外部宏观因素的介入,担忧情绪逐渐蔓延开来,”他指出。但归根结底,“科技和软件股票之所以表现如此出色,还是因为它们能够推动全球经济创造出更多的价值。”

而他认为,“这种情况并未改变。”(财富中文网)

It's been a rough time for tech investors of late, with the Nasdaq shaving off nearly 7% in the past month (even with a big Friday rally) as inflation pressures, rising rates, and Treasury yields heat up, all while the Street is digesting earnings (tech stalwarts like Facebook parent Meta disappointed investors). But one portfolio manager isn't shying away from the volatile sector as we head further into 2022.

Brook Dane, a managing director and portfolio manager at Goldman Sachs Asset Management who manages portfolios including the firm's Technology Opportunities Fund and the Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF, suggests to Fortune that "in general, with the kind of moves that we're seeing in interest rates, we think the stocks have overcorrected based on that." (The tech sector broadly has traded down double-digits in the past three months.)

For one, Dane is eyeing a few bold bets that he believes have individual drivers that can power through the rising-rate and tech worries.

One key area Dane is looking is software. The global software industry has fallen in-line with the broader tech market lately, but Dane believes that's an overreaction: "High growth software specifically … is pricing in 10-year rates around 3% or a little bit north of 3%," he estimates, according to internal Goldman Sachs research—levels he believes are higher than rates will go in 2022 (the 10-year Treasury is currently around 1.9%). Although "consensus" is that "rates are going higher, that's bad for software," notes Dane, he's looked at the data and doesn't believe that's "structurally" a negative for the industry.

Instead, Dane argues "the growth dynamics that we're likely to see across 2022, 2023, [and] 2024 in many of these names make particularly attractive entry points." That's why he says Goldman has been using the selloff as an opportunity to load up on some of their favored tech stocks—all of which have taken a haircut in share prices in recent months.

4 tech stock bets for 2022

Even in a high inflation environment, software helps businesses drive productivity and operate more efficiently, Dane notes, "which is another way of saying it helps companies get around rising cost pressures."

One name Dane is bullish on is automation software maker UiPath. Their core product is software called robotic process automation, "which is essentially combining machine learning, machine vision, and helping automate business processes," Dane explains. It's taking "away repetitive tasks that people would be doing. That's making labor more productive," he notes—a positive for companies trying to retain or hire employees. Dane highlights the company's fast growth, with revenues growing an estimated 46% in its fiscal year ending January 2022, and notes the business is seeing growth in their cloud products as well as for on-premise tasks.

The stock hasn't had the best ride of late to say the least, down 44% in the past six months, as Dane points to recent poor post-IPO performance (UiPath went public in April 2021) and concerns over the company's ability to gain new customers. But Dane maintains "this is an early stage company that's still showing the wider market the sustainability of the growth rates and their business and their customer retention." He believes as they prove themselves, "the stock is likely to rerate." The Street still estimates UiPath can grow revenues by over 33% in the current fiscal year, and Dane argues the company is "a very high ROI [return on investment], very good ... inflation hedge from a business standpoint."

Those trends should also boost Kingdee International Software, a China-based cloud enterprise software company, suggests Dane. He notes "you're seeing the adoption of modern SaaS [software as a service] tools in China" where there's a "big preference" for "home grown" products, he argues. That's where Kingdee fits in.

Dane says there is an "increased emphasis on deploying cloud technologies [in China] and seeing state-owned enterprises modernize their underlying financials and core ERP [enterprise resource planning] solutions, and Kingdee is a big beneficiary of that." The company's growth has been steadily strong, growing revenues by an estimated 30% in its fiscal year ending December 2021, and analysts estimate it can grow sales by around 25% in the current 2022 fiscal year. But for Kingdee and Uipath both, Dane believes they could surprise to the upside in earnings this year.

Big tech stocks like Meta are taking a hit due to Apple's privacy changes last year, which require users to opt-in to allow companies to track them as they switch between apps—something that's hurt some tech companies' ad businesses (Meta said the change would cost the company roughly $10 billion in 2022). But Dane argues that AppLovin, a company that helps mobile app and game developers grow their apps and incorporate advertising, is more shielded from the negative effects of Apple's changes. "What makes them really well suited to the market," argues Dane, "is that combination of first party data that they can get from their own games with the ad network."

In a post-Apple-privacy-change world, where "the amount of information that ad networks can see about customers is limited, having that first party data is really a treasure," he says. That's evidenced in AppLovin's earnings (with revenues up an estimated 92% in its fiscal year ending December 2021, while the Street estimates they can grow sales by about 40% in the 2022 fiscal year), and Dane believes the market is "vastly underestimating the core growth rate of this business" (the stock has traded down roughly 16% in the last month). The company also recently bought Twitter's ad platform MoPub for around $1.1 billion, which should further expand AppLovin's ad network, says Dane.

Dane is also optimistic about social media platform Snap, which just reported its first quarterly profit in its fourth quarter earnings, sending the stock skyrocketing. In particular, Dane believes Snap is "leading in areas like augmented reality," and "they have a very engaged and active community." Amid broader worries about the impacts of Apple's privacy changes, among other things, Dane notes the stock's valuation has "come in dramatically" (it currently trades at a forward price to earnings ratio of under 77, having traded roughly 49% lower in the past six months), which he thinks "sets it up very well."

While tech investors might currently be white-knuckling it amid the wild swings in the market, Dane encourages them to look at history: "Over the last 20 years, we've seen lots of pull backs like this in the tech market where an exogenous macro factor comes in and people get concerned," he notes. Ultimately, however, "the reason that tech and software ... have done so well is that they're driving the value across the global economy."

And, he argues, "that's not changing."
