David Meier: 迪士尼业绩超出预期,主题乐园业务增长强劲,流媒体业务扭亏为盈。这主要得益于提前预订的游客数量增加和乐园持续上涨的价格。然而,考虑到近期消费者信心下降和经济下行风险,乐园业务的增长可能趋于平缓。迪士尼的流媒体业务已经达到规模,并实现了盈利,未来有望保持盈利,但其与主题乐园业务的整合方式仍有待观察。 Uber的业绩也表现强劲,月活跃用户和预订行程数量均大幅增长,并实现了净利润。然而,公司对下一季度预订收入的预期略低于分析师预期,这可能会引起投资者的担忧。Uber正在积极扩张其国际食品配送业务,这是一种渐进式的策略,旨在逐步进入下一个最佳市场,并通过收购或合作来提高效率。 Uber首席执行官认为自动驾驶技术是公司未来的最大机遇,但我认为这项技术仍处于早期阶段,需要克服从早期采用者到大众市场的鸿沟。虽然自动驾驶技术有潜力提高车辆利用率和降低成本,但其市场推广和消费者接受度仍存在不确定性。总的来说,我认为Uber比迪士尼拥有更大的增长潜力,尤其是在自动驾驶技术成熟后。 Mary Long: 就迪士尼而言,我主要关注的是主题乐园业务,因为它占公司营业收入的50%以上。尽管经济环境存在不确定性,但迪士尼的国内主题乐园却出现了游客数量和消费支出的增长。这可能与人们提前规划行程以及乐园价格上涨有关。至于流媒体业务,虽然盈利,但其长期盈利能力和与主题乐园业务的协同效应仍需进一步观察。 关于Uber,其强劲的业绩数据令人印象深刻,但对未来预订收入的预期下调以及国际扩张策略的细节仍需进一步关注。Uber首席执行官对自动驾驶技术的信心值得关注,但其商业化应用仍面临诸多挑战。 Gerard Barron: 美国需要深海采矿以实现能源独立,因为中国主导了关键矿产市场,而深海蕴藏着丰富的关键矿产资源,例如镍、钴和锰。美国拥有深海采矿的历史,并制定了相应的监管框架。尽管国际海底管理局对深海采矿活动施加了限制,但美国拥有自由航行权,并可以根据其自身的监管框架进行深海采矿。我们公司已经进行了大量的环境研究,并准备向美国国家海洋和大气管理局提交申请,以获得深海采矿许可证。我们希望通过政府的快速审批程序,尽快实现深海采矿的商业化生产,满足美国对关键矿产的需求,并与中国在关键矿产市场竞争。
