围绕华纳兄弟的控制权争夺战已正式演变为一场白热化的资本对决。派拉蒙（与Skydance合并后）今日发起强力攻势，提出以全现金方式收购华 纳兄弟的所有流通股，这一报价旨在通过更优越的财务条款和确定性，直接阻击此前Netflix提出的收购方案，意图重塑全球媒体娱乐版图。 随着新的竞价细节披露，二级市场迅速做出反应，投资者用脚投票表达了对不同方案的看法。派拉蒙股价在纽约市场早盘交易中一度飙升近 10%，而竞争对手Netflix的股价则承压下跌约4%。 此次竞购战的影响力已超越华尔街，直接触动了华盛顿的监管神经。美国总统特朗普已公开表达了对Netflix收购案在反垄断层面的怀疑态度，警 告该交易可能导致过度集中，并罕见地暗示将亲自关注相关审批决策。 受此影响，预测市场Polymarket上关于Netflix与华纳兄弟达成交易的胜率已从约20%降至16%。 战略协同与行业重塑 据福克斯商业记者Charles Gasparino分析，随着Netflix股价遭重挫，其此前竞购方案中股票部分的价值保护机制面临失效风险，这意味着Netflix可 能被迫筹集更多现金以维持交易吸引力。 派拉蒙此次提出的全现金要约将华纳兄弟的企业价 ...

全球最大债券基金之一的首席投资官警告称，美国信用市场正建立在"危险的"假设之上，虚高的评级可 能正在给投资者带来一种虚假的安全感，而此时美联储出手干预市场的能力正面临限制。 得益于此，PIMCO旗下规模达2130亿美元的旗舰基金Pimco Income Fund今年实现了10.4%的回报。 展望未来，Ivascyn表示，公司预计得益于人工智能相关的资本投资和特朗普政府《大漂亮法案》的影 响，美国经济将在2026年初走强。但他同时警告，如果经济增长放缓，信贷损失可能会增加，并可能引 发一些"失望"。 Ivascyn的担忧并非孤例，监管机构已开始关注私人信贷市场的潜在风险。据报道，美国证券交易委员 会（SEC）正在对私人信贷领域最活跃的评级机构之一Egan-Jones Ratings Co.进行调查。 此外，国际清算银行（BIS）在今年早些时候的一份报告中也指出，大量资金涌入私人信贷市场，尤其 是来自保险公司的资金，"可能导致对信誉的评估被夸大，以及相应的资本计提不足"。 风险与机遇并存的"新时代" 尽管Ivascyn对评级问题提出警告，但他认为当前市场正进入一个"新时代"，为主动型投资者提供了机 遇。他指出，" ...

来自OpenAI、谷歌等公司的小部分但日益增长的AI开发者群体认为，当前的技术路径无法实现生物 学、医学等领域的重大突破，也难以避免简单错误。这一观点正在引发行业对数十亿美元投资方向的质 疑。 据The Information周二报道，上周在圣地亚哥举行的神经信息处理系统大会（NeurIPS）上，众多研究 人员讨论了这一话题。他们认为，开发者必须创造出能在部署后持续获取新能力的AI，这种"持续学 习"能力类似人类的学习方式，但目前尚未在AI领域实现。 然而，技术局限已拖慢企业客户对AI代理等新产品的采购。模型在简单问题上持续犯错，AI代理在缺 乏AI提供商大量工作确保其正确运行的情况下往往表现不佳。 这些质疑声与部分AI领袖的乐观预测形成对比。Anthropic首席执行官Dario Amodei上周表示，扩展现有 训练技术就能实现通用人工智能（AGI），OpenAI首席执行官Sam Altman则认为两年多后AI将能自我 改进。但如果质疑者是对的，这可能令OpenAI和Anthropic明年在强化学习等技术上投入的数十亿美元 面临风险。 尽管存在技术局限，当前AI在写作、设计、购物和数据分析等任务上的表现仍推 ...

在经历了11月的市场下跌后，高盛客户正在撤回对人工智能和美国股市的激进看涨观点。最新调查数据 显示，随着市场情绪的降温，投资者对2026年标普500指数的预期已转向更为保守和审慎的立场。 针对782名机构客户的调查显示，投资者目前预计该基准指数在未来一年结束时将处于7,000至7,500点之 间。高盛Marquee平台全球内容策略、市场分析和数据科学主管Oscar Ostlund指出，这一预期较10月下 旬出现了大幅回撤，当时许多客户曾乐观地预计指数将在新年到来时跃升至7,200点。 尽管客户仍预计标普500指数在2026年会上涨，但Ostlund在周一的报告中明确表示，他们的目标已变 得"更加保守"。不过，尽管市场对人工智能的热情有所减退，但对美国经济前景的信心却有所改善，这 强化了市场对"非衰退性宽松周期"的预期，通常这一环境对风险资产具有支撑作用。 在这一背景下，投资者虽然继续支持长期的人工智能主题，但仓位配置变得更加具有选择性。市场关注 的焦点已从单纯的炒作转向具体的执行风险和资本回报率，同时投资者也在寻找AI科技股以外的广泛 投资回报机会。 经济软着陆信心增强 许多投资者认为市场上涨的范围将扩大到A ...

"以价换量"：定价协议解锁三大渠道 根据高盛的报告，礼来和诺和诺德与白宫达成的GLP-1药物定价协议是重塑市场的核心。该协议旨在通 过降低价格，扩大在美国联邦医疗保险（Medicare）、医疗补助（Medicaid）以及直接面向消费者 （DTC）现金支付渠道的患者可及性。换句话说，这其实相当于将药品纳入了医保范围。 全球减肥药市场正迎来一场深刻变革，以价换量和消费化趋势将重塑市场格局。 据追风交易台消息，高盛12月8日发布的报告显示，礼来和诺和诺德近期与特朗普政府达成的定价协议 是这一转变的主要催化剂。这些协议将从2026年开始大幅降低Zepbound和Wegovy等关键GLP-1药物的 价格，其中最引人注目的进展是为庞大的美国联邦医疗保险（Medicare）计划覆盖这些药物打开了大 门。 与此同时，直接面向消费者（DTC）的销售渠道、零售商合作以及远程医疗平台的兴起，正共同推动减 肥药市场的"消费化"浪潮，显著降低了患者的用药门槛并刺激了需求增长。 受降价预期推动及消费化的趋势影响，高盛将其对2030年全球抗肥胖药物（AOM）市场的规模预测上 调至约1020亿美元。 报告详细阐述了协议的关键内容，该协议自2 ...

随着科技巨头在人工智能领域投入数千亿美元巨资，一项看似平淡的会计处理——AI芯片等关键设备 的折旧方法，正意外成为市场争议的焦点，引发了关于企业是否借此美化盈利的激烈辩论。 据《华尔街日报》12月8日报道，近期，包括Meta、Alphabet、微软和亚马逊在内的公司纷纷延长了其 服务器和网络资产的预计使用年限。这一会计变更直接降低了当期折旧费用，从而推高了账面利润，此 举立即引起了部分投资者的警觉和审视。 知名"大空头"Michael Burry更是将此举称为"现代常见的欺诈之一"，他在上月的一篇文章中写道，延长 资产使用年限会减少折旧费用并增加表观利润，这会导致资产估值过高和利润虚报。当巨额资本支出悬 于一线时，这种会计估计的调整足以牵动市场的敏感神经。 然而，对于关注这些科技巨头的投资者而言，问题的关键可能并非简单的"对与错"。尽管延长折旧年限 确实能即时提升盈利数字，但其对公司基本面的实质影响或许有限。市场更关注的是AI投资的最终回 报，而非会计处理细节。而更深层次的讨论已经转向折旧方法的选择，以及这些会计处理最终是否会影 响对AI投资长期价值的判断。 会计调整的"利润魔法" 折旧是确保资本投资成本在财 ...
