Topics
Aswath Damodaran:公司会像人一样衰老,需要根据不同阶段调整经营策略。盲目追求增长而非适应年龄阶段的变化是浪费金钱的主要原因。投资者应关注营运指标(如营收增长和利润率)来判断公司所处的生命周期阶段,并据此调整投资策略。 公司在不同生命周期阶段有不同的特征:年轻公司通常具有高营收增长和负利润率;成熟公司则具有稳定的营收增长、较低的增长率和正利润率。 英特尔已经从高增长公司转变为成熟公司,甚至接近老年期。其未来发展取决于管理团队能否做出正确的决策,并避免过度扩张。 大型科技公司对人工智能的大规模投资,其价值创造能力有待观察,并非所有公司都能获得成功。Nvidia是少数成功转型AI的公司,因为它提前布局。其他公司则面临激烈的竞争。 Meta的成功复苏部分归功于扎克伯格对市场反馈的及时调整。 星巴克需要改变其商业模式以适应消费者行为的变化。 Lululemon面临激烈的市场竞争,其未来增长存在限制。 特斯拉需要改进其叙事策略,以增强其市场表现。 地理多元化并不能有效降低投资风险,因为全球市场高度关联。 美国即将到来的总统大选可能会导致市场波动和不合理的政策决策。 高等教育领域存在着巨大的惯性和融资体系问题,阻碍了其改革和创新。 Scott: 与Aswath Damodaran教授讨论了公司生命周期、投资策略以及一些知名公司的现状和未来发展。 Ed: 与Aswath Damodaran教授讨论了公司生命周期、投资策略以及一些知名公司的现状和未来发展。

Shownotes Transcript

Aswath Damodaran returns to the show to discuss how companies age and why “growth for the sake of growth” can be a problem for companies as they get older. He looks at where Intel stands in the lifecycle and explains how it can return to a healthier age. He also breaks down how he thinks Starbucks and Lululemon could revamp their businesses. Finally, he explains why being geographically diversified doesn’t necessarily protect you from risk.
