股價下跌 聯想營收增長遜於預期

Shares in Lenovo, the Chinese electronics manufacturer, fell 5.1 per cent in Hong Kong trading, the biggest decline in nine Months, after the company announced lower than expected revenue growth.

中國電子產品製造商聯想(Lenovo)公佈的營收增長低於預期。消息傳來，聯想在香港的股價下跌了5.1%，這是9個月來最大跌幅。

Lenovo said it has shipped a record 35m smartphones, computers and tablet devices, and saw a 19 per cent increase in quarterly net profits. “Lenovo had another strong quarter that saw excellent market share gains and profit expansion,” said Mr Yang in a statement accompanying the results.

聯想表示，該公司智能手機、電腦和平板電腦設備的出貨量達到了創紀錄的3500萬部，季度淨利潤增長19%。在伴隨財報公佈的一份聲明中，聯想集團首席執行官楊元慶表示：“上個季度，聯想再次表現強勁，市場份額和盈利水平均獲顯著提升。”

But the stock market mainly took note of 7 per cent growth in revenues, the lowest in six quarters, which may herald a cooling in Lenovo’s home market of China.

然而，股市主要關注的是7%的營收增長，這是6個季度以來最低的。它可能預示着聯想在中國本土市場的發展開始降溫。

“The industry is changing from in the past, when China grew much faster than the rest of the world,” Yang Yuanqing, Lenovo’s chief executive, said in an interview with Bloomberg Business News. “China will not see further hypergrowth.”

楊元慶在接受彭博新聞社(Bloomberg News)採訪時，表示：“過去，中國的增長速度大大高於全球其他地區。如今，行業正在告別這種局面。中國將不會出現進一步超高速增長。”

He has recently sought to expand out of the falling personal computer market, which Lenovo dominates, and into smartphones and servers. In October, Lenovo closed deals for IBM’s x86 server business and for Motorola Mobility, the smartphone business it purchased from Google. This vaulted Lenovo to number three smartphone maker in the world, overtaking Chinese phonemaker Xiaomi, according to rankings by IDC.

聯想在個人電腦市場處於主導地位。近期楊元慶試圖將業務從不斷下滑的個人電腦市場擴展至智能手機和服務器領域。今年10月，聯想完成了對IBM x86服務器業務的收購，並從谷歌(Google)收購了智能手機業務——摩托羅拉移動(Motorola Mobility)。根據IDC的排名，此舉令聯想超過中國手機制造商小米(Xiaomi)，成爲全球第三大智能手機制造商。
