- Comment: ASML bookings for the quarter dropped 42% amid a continued slump in chip sector, as demand for products like smartphones and laptops remains weak. The company is also impacted by the chip curbs between U.S. and China. ASML, being headquartered in the Netherlands, faced exports restrictions on advanced semiconductor equipments in the country itself, as well in U.S. to China. With the U.S. China trade war likely to continue, ASML is likely to see restrictions towards the demand for semiconductors, alongside a lower demand as the global smartphone market continue to see a decline. 4Q23 recommended trading range: $550 to $650. Neutral Outlook.

- 23财年第三季营收：70.3亿美元, 同比增幅15.5%，逊预期9,240万美元

- 短评：由于智能手机和笔记本电脑等产品的需求依然疲软，芯片行业持续低迷，公司本季度的预订量下降了42%。该公司还受到美国和中国之间芯片限制的影响。总部设在荷兰的阿斯麦面临着荷兰和美国对中国出口先进半导体设备的限制。随着美中贸易战的持续，随着全球智能手机市场的持续下滑，公司的半导体需求可能会受到限制，需求也会下降。23财年第四季度建议交易区间：550美元至650美元。中性前景。
Procter & Gamble Co. (PG)
- 1Q24 Revenue: $21.87B, +6.1% YoY, beating estimates by $290M
- 1Q24 Non-GAAP EPS: $1.83, beat estimates by $0.11
- FY24 Guidance: All-in sales growth to be in the range of two to four percent versus the prior year; diluted net earnings per share growth in the range of 6%-9% versus fiscal 2023 EPS of $5.90; effective tax rate of approximately 21%; Capital spending is now estimated to be approximately 4.5% of net sales; Adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% and expects to pay more than $9bn in dividends and to repurchase $5bn to $6bn of common shares in fiscal 2024.
- Comment: The company reported a strong set of results, but saw a decline in volume of the 6th consecutive quarter. The decline in volume was due to higher prices for the company’s products, which led to some consumers opting for other private-label alternatives. However, the company indicated that its volume declines have been narrowing in the recent quarters, and the company still expects to report a volume growth for the fiscal year. Consumers’ confidence has dipped slightly in October 2023 as interest rates remain high, where more consumers would look for value products than compared to pricier products, which may poise more headwinds for the company. 2Q24 recommended trading range: $145 to $155.

- 短评：该公司公布了一系列强劲的业绩，但销量连续第六个季度下降。销量下降的原因是该公司产品价格上涨，导致一些消费者选择其他自有品牌的替代品。然而，该公司表示，最近几个季度，其销量下降幅度一直在收窄，该公司仍有望在本财年实现销量增长。由于利率居高不下，消费者信心在2023年10月略有下降，与昂贵的产品相比，更多的消费者会寻找有性价比的产品，这可能会给公司带来更多的不利因素。24财年第二季度建议交易区间：145美元至155美元。中性前景。
Morgan Stanley (MS)

- 3Q23 GAAP EPS: $1.38, beats estimates by $0.09

The company also wanted that net interest income will fall again in the next quarter, following its decline of 9% in the current quarter. Management currently sees a “mixed” environment for the company’s businesses and acknowledge that the firm’s wealth management division gathered fewer new assets in recent quarters due to high interest rates making money market funds and treasuries attractive. However, he also highlighted that the wealth management business was still on trach to hit the company’s 3 years goal of generating $1tn in new assets. 4Q23 recommended trading range: $65 to $80. Negative Outlook.

- 23财年第三季GAAP每股盈利：1.38美元，超预期0.09美元
- 23财年指引：根据该行本季度结束时的表现，该公司预计净利息收入将呈下降趋势。其幅度将取决于其存款组合和利率轨迹。
- 短评：摩根士丹利公布该季度利润下降，其最大业务财富管理业务增长放缓，原因是该部门的薪酬成本上升。该公司还预期，继本季度下降9%之后，下一季度的净利息收入将再次下降。管理层目前认为公司业务面临”好坏参半”的环境，并承认公司财富管理部门近几个季度新增资产减少，因高利率令货币市场基金和公债更具吸引力。不过，他也强调，财富管理业务仍有望实现公司的3年目标，即创造1万亿美元的新资产。23财年第四季度建议交易区间：65美元至80美元。负面前景。

Neutral Outlook.

- 23财年第三季Non-GAAP每股盈利：0.66美元，超预期0.07美元

- 短评：受计划中的工厂关闭和降价的影响，该公司最近一个季度的利润低于预期，使该公司的毛利率降至16.3%，为2017年第四季度以来的最低水平。管理层发表了悲观的展望，强调高利率环境将继续限制特斯拉汽车的可负担性。下个月推出的赛博卡车预计也将面临更多阻力，产量增加至少需要18个月。管理层还提到，赛博卡车还需要大量的工作才能达到量产，并以人们可以承受的价格实现正现金流。23财年第四季度建议交易区间：200美元至270美元。中性前景。
