沃伦·巴菲特:伯克希尔 1995 年致股东信·补录 2

沃伦·巴菲特《伯克希尔·哈撒韦 1995 年致股东信》· 1995 Chairman's Letter · 投资 · 财富 · 决策

Our shoe business operated in an industry that suffered depressed earnings throughout last year, and many of our competitors made only marginal profits or worse. That means we at least maintained, and in some instances widened, our competitive superiority. So I have no doubt that our shoe operations will climb back to top-grade earnings in the future. In other words, though the turn has not yet occurred, we believe you should view last year's figures as reflecting a cyclical problem, not a secular one.

白话

巴菲特谈到鞋业:整个行业去年利润低迷,很多竞争对手只能勉强盈利甚至亏损,而伯克希尔的鞋业至少维持了、有些地方还扩大了竞争优势。所以他相信鞋业未来能重回高盈利。他强调,虽然拐点还没出现,但去年的数字反映的是周期性问题,不是长期衰退。这对我们的启发是:判断一家企业短期业绩差,要分清是行业周期还是竞争力丧失。如果对手更惨,而你还能撑住甚至扩大优势,那说明护城河还在,值得耐心等待周期回暖。

上下文

1995年伯克希尔旗下鞋业受行业不景气影响,巴菲特在致股东信中解释这是周期问题而非结构性衰退。

今日一问

你持有的公司业绩下滑时,你能分清是行业周期还是竞争力真的没了吗?
