文章核心观点 - 公司被认为是极具潜力的科技股，尽管股价有时大幅上涨，但目前交易水平回到2011年初的水平。投资论点对公司极为乐观，主要基于其强劲的增长催化剂和长期图表上的技术支持[2] 公司业绩与增长 - 公司即将在8月22日公布2024年第二季度业绩，市场关注Apollo Go无人驾驶出租车和AI能否帮助公司实现真正的收入增长。分析师共识预测公司增长有限，2024年第一季度收入仅增长1%，核心非在线营销收入增长6%[3] - 公司需要提高增长率以推动股价上涨。ERNIE作为中国领先的生成式AI模型，预计将在云和搜索等领域显示出增长，受益于日益增长的AI需求[3] - 公司第一季度运营利润率为23.5%，低于过去经常超过30%的水平。随着无人驾驶出租车和AI业务的成熟，公司有机会提高利润率[3] 无人驾驶出租车业务 - 在2024年第一季度，Apollo Go完成了82.6万次公众出行，同比增长25%。公司已在武汉将自动驾驶区域扩大一倍，并实现24/7运营。到2024年4月，Apollo Go的无人驾驶状态达到70%[3] - 公司计划到2024年底在武汉将无人驾驶车辆从5月初的300辆增加到1000辆。公司与Hesai Group签订了价值估计为2亿至3亿美元的Lidar合同，计划在中国部署10万辆无人驾驶出租车[3] - 由于技术的成本降低，公司的第六代车辆RT6的成本比上一代降低了60%。尽管面临激烈竞争，但每辆车的成本约为28,500美元且无需司机，使得Apollo Go的出行成本具有竞争力[3] 估值与市场竞争 - 公司的估值相对于其他初创公司更具吸引力。例如，Pony AI的估值为85亿美元，而WeRide计划在美国IPO，估值为50亿美元。WeRide计划通过出售645万份ADR筹集1.19亿美元，尽管其最近六个月的收入仅为2100万美元[3] - 在AI领域，如Baidu支持的Baiduan等公司估值达数十亿美元。这表明公司在AI领域的投资具有较高的市场认可度[3] 股价与市场支持 - 公司的股价在80美元水平提供了长期支持，最近在8月5日触及79.68美元后出现反弹。在2022年底，公司股价从低于80美元迅速反弹至160美元，显示出强劲的市场支持[4] - 公司目前市值为300亿美元，由于拥有近270亿美元的巨额现金余额，企业价值远低于市值。公司股价相对于2025年每股收益目标11.40美元的市盈率为7.5倍。如果公司未来恢复到30%的运营利润率，可能会额外产生30%的利润[4] - 投资者实际上免费获得了公司的无人驾驶出租车和AI业务，以及每年产生超过40亿美元利润的核心业务。因此，公司股价在80美元再次获得强劲支持，并在即将公布的第二季度业绩前反弹至89美元[4][5]
