财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-21 13:14
图片来源:视觉中国 近期,新势力车企4月交付成绩陆续公布,零跑继3月首次登顶后,再度蝉联榜首。 今年1月,零跑汽车发布盈利预告称,公司2024年第四季度实现净利润转正,提前一年达成单季度盈利 目标。这标志着零跑汽车成为继理想汽车之后,第二家实现盈利的造车新势力。但需注意的是,零跑 2024年全年净亏损为28.2亿元。 根据其官方微博,零跑4月交付量为41039台,同比增长173%,增速创新高。这种销售势头延续到了本 月,5月前5天,零跑全系订单超18000台,其中5日单日订单便突破3700台。 5月19日,零跑汽车发布2025年第一季度财报,期内,零跑销量为87552台,同比增长162%,营收达百 亿,同比增长187.1%,毛利率14.9%,创历史新高。 在去年四季度单季盈利后,零跑汽车的净利润环比由盈转亏,今年一季度零跑归属母公司净亏损1.3亿 元人民币。但相比2024年同期亏损额10.1亿元,已大幅收窄。 资本市场上,2025年开年以来,零跑汽车港股股价已近乎翻倍,体现出现阶段投资者对其前景仍持积极 态度。 在这轮股价上涨前,零跑曾度过了一段艰难时期。2022年,零跑在"蔚小理"之后成为第四家登陆港股的 ...

财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-21 13:14
图片来源:Getty Images / Rattankun Thongbun 大学往往被吹捧为年轻人探索激情和兴趣的时期,但激情无法支付账单。根据纽约联邦储备银行的最新 数据,主修教育、社会工作或艺术专业的毕业生在职业生涯前五年的收入中位数最低。 外语专业毕业生是所有初入职场的大学毕业生中薪资最低的,年薪中位数为4万美元。普通社会科学专 业的毕业生紧随其后,年薪中位数为4.1万美元。表演艺术专业的情况稍好一些,年薪中位数为4.19万美 元。人类学和幼儿教育专业以4.2万美元的薪酬中位数并列倒数第五。 尽管外语技能对许多求职者而言是加分项,但并不总能转化为高薪职位。如今,人们比以往更易通过多 邻国(Duolingo)等应用程序掌握语言能力,无需正式学位。外语专业毕业生通常进入公共服务或翻译 等薪资较低的领域。 即使这些专业的毕业生晋升到职业生涯中期的职位,其薪资与科技行业同行相比仍显微薄。幼儿教育专 业毕业生在职业生涯中期的薪资是所有大学毕业生中最低的,年薪中位数为4.9万美元。小学教育专业 稍高一些,职业生涯中期的年薪中位数为5.3万美元。 主修科学、技术、工程和数学教育领域(如工程和计算机科学)的毕业生往往 ...
AI聊天机器人已进入工作场所,但尚未改变工作方式
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-21 13:14
Core Viewpoint - The rapid adoption of AI technologies, particularly chatbots like ChatGPT, has not significantly impacted employment hours or wages, despite initial expectations of productivity gains [2][3][4]. Group 1: AI Adoption and Employment Impact - A study by economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard found that AI chatbots have negligible effects on income or recorded work hours across various professions [2]. - The research analyzed data from 25,000 employees in 7,000 workplaces, focusing on jobs perceived to be vulnerable to AI disruption, such as accountants and IT support specialists [2][3]. - Users of AI in the workplace saved an average of 3% of their time, but this did not translate into significant wage increases, with only 3%-7% of productivity gains reflected in salary growth [2][3]. Group 2: Limitations of AI's Economic Impact - Despite the rapid deployment of AI technologies, the overall economic impact remains limited, as highlighted by the mixed results of AI projects in companies [3][7]. - A survey of 2,000 CEOs revealed that only 25% of AI projects achieved expected returns on investment, indicating a disconnect between investment and actual productivity gains [7]. - The phenomenon of "fear of missing out" (FOMO) drives many CEOs to invest in AI without fully understanding its potential value [7]. Group 3: Factors Influencing AI Effectiveness - The effectiveness of AI in enhancing productivity is influenced by employer support and employees' time management skills [5][6]. - Employees often allocate over 80% of the time saved by using AI to other tasks rather than leisure, which may dilute the perceived benefits of AI [5]. - The complexity of real-world workplaces complicates the integration of AI, as many employees use these tools without clear guidance or encouragement from management [6]. Group 4: Future Outlook on AI and Productivity - The potential for AI to enhance productivity is acknowledged, but significant improvements may require organizational changes and investment in employee training [8][9]. - Historical context suggests that transformative changes, such as those seen during the Industrial Revolution, take time to materialize fully [9]. - Estimates indicate that AI could contribute to a GDP increase of 1.1% to 1.6% over the next decade, which, while substantial, falls short of more optimistic projections [7][9].
年薪15万美元的软件工程师被AI取代后,经历曝光
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-20 13:08
然而去年四月接到解雇通知时,他立即意识到此次不同以往:他正以亲历者的身份见证AI重塑科技行 业格局。 尽管拥有二十年工作经验和计算机科学学位,他在投递800份简历后仅获得不足10次面试机会。更糟糕 的是,部分面试竟由AI智能体而非真人进行。 K向《财富》坦言:"我感觉自己完全被忽视了。没有人在意我。仿佛在接触真人前就被系统过滤淘汰 了。" 图片来源:Courtesy of Shawn K 肖恩·K(法律姓氏为单字母)对科技行业的裁员并不陌生。 这位软件工程师先后在2008年金融危机和疫情期间失业,但两次都仅用数月便重返职场。 尽管AI取代人类工作的忧虑存在多年,这位42岁的工程师认为自身遭遇仅是"社会经济海啸"的前奏。 他近期在Substack专栏中写道:"大替代潮已然汹涌而至。" 靠在DoorDash上送餐维持生计——他预言"这终将成为几乎所有人的命运" K的上一份工作就职于元宇宙公司——这个曾被预言为明日之星的领域,却因ChatGPT崛起等因素而黯 然失色。 他如今生活在纽约中部,蜗居在一套小型房车里,在寻找技术岗位无果的情况下,不得不通过非常手段 维持生计,试图填补15万美元年薪的缺口。 在持续求职、刷 ...

滞胀可能导致美国银行业危机再次爆发
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-20 13:08
Core Viewpoint - The U.S. banking industry is under significant stress due to high interest rates, with potential risks of a new banking crisis similar to the one experienced in March 2023, particularly if economic conditions worsen due to inflation and other factors [1][9][10]. Group 1: Current Banking Situation - As of the end of 2024, the total unrealized losses in U.S. bank securities investments reached $482.4 billion, an increase of $118 billion or 32.5% from the previous quarter [1]. - The peak of unrealized losses was $684 billion at the end of 2023, indicating a troubling trend for the banking sector [1]. - Experts warn that if interest rates remain high, the accumulated losses during the crisis will not dissipate, leading to further vulnerabilities in the banking system [10]. Group 2: Expert Opinions - Financial experts emphasize that unless assets are sold, unrealized losses do not appear on banks' profit and loss statements, but they pose a liquidity threat if depositor confidence wanes [2][6]. - The volatility of long-term interest rates, particularly the 10-year Treasury yield, is closely linked to bank losses, with current rates hovering above 4.5% [5][6]. - The potential for a new banking crisis remains, as any negative news about a bank could trigger a repeat of the March 2023 crisis [2][8]. Group 3: Risks and Concerns - The banking sector's exposure to long-term securities, which are classified as "held to maturity," means that their market value fluctuations do not directly impact financial statements unless sold [6][7]. - If banks are forced to sell investments, they must mark their entire portfolio to market value, which could lead to significant liquidity issues [6][10]. - Regional and super-regional banks, particularly those with asset sizes between $10 billion and $200 billion, are highlighted as particularly vulnerable due to their large uninsured deposits exceeding the FDIC insurance limit [10].

美国痛失三大机构最高评级,黄金王者归来?
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-19 13:02
Core Viewpoint - After a significant increase in gold prices, recent events such as the downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating by Moody's have reignited interest in gold as a potential safe-haven asset, despite short-term volatility in prices [1][3]. Group 1: U.S. Sovereign Credit Rating and Economic Indicators - Moody's downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, indicating a loss of the highest rating from all three major rating agencies, primarily due to concerns over rising fiscal deficits and debt levels [1][2]. - The U.S. federal debt has surpassed $36 trillion, with interest payments projected to exceed $1.1 trillion in the 2024 fiscal year, accounting for 22% of federal revenue [1][2]. - The Congressional Budget Office warned of potential debt default if the debt ceiling is not raised, which could lead to increased refinancing costs for the federal government [2]. Group 2: Impact on Gold and Currency Markets - The downgrade by Moody's is expected to weaken the dollar's credit system, leading to a potential shift in investor preferences towards gold and other currencies as safer assets [3][4]. - Despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, gold prices have surged, indicating a shift in gold's monetary attributes and a divergence from traditional correlations with bond yields [3][4]. - Global central banks are increasing gold purchases, with a net acquisition of 1,044.6 tons in 2024, reflecting a trend of moving away from dollar-denominated assets [4]. Group 3: Future Outlook for Gold - The path for gold to regain its status as a dominant asset is expected to be gradual, influenced by ongoing geopolitical risks and economic conditions [5][6]. - Factors such as persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and the potential for U.S. fiscal policies to lead to further monetary expansion are likely to support gold's appeal as an inflation hedge [5][6]. - Prominent investors, like Ray Dalio, emphasize the importance of holding gold in light of unsustainable U.S. debt levels, suggesting that the transition to gold as a currency alternative is still in its early stages [6].
两个美股看涨迹象:标普500指数年内翻红和一家公司
财富FORTUNE· 2025-05-19 13:02
各指数在当日交易时段经历多次起伏。标普500指数午后盘中一度较开盘下跌0.4%,随后收复失地。道 指最大波动幅度约200点。纳斯达克指数全天震荡,但多数时段高于开盘价。 市场相对平静的交易态势,源于中美双方同意在未来90天内降低互征关税税率。这项举措让投资者看得 到了希望,期待两大经济体最终能达成协议,使全球贸易恢复某种正常状态。至少,市场希望未来协议 能为世界经济走向提供长期确定性。中美关税休战缓解了投资者对经济衰退迫在眉睫的深切担忧。 德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)经济学家在上周三发布的分析师报告中写道:"中美紧张局势降级为我们 的增长预测带来温和的上行风险,但更重要的是,显著降低了经济衰退与劳动力市场急剧恶化的可能 性。" 5月11日深夜宣布的关税休战消息推动周一开盘美股全线上涨。值得注意的是,上周走势推动标普500指 数年内首度翻红,自1月1日以来累计上涨0.4%。道指与纳斯达克指数年内仍分别下跌0.8%和0.9%。 受益于自身利好的地缘政治消息,英伟达与超威半导体两只个股全天走强。在特朗普总统海湾国事访问 期间,两家公司宣布与沙特人工智能公司Humain达成合作。Humain与英伟达签订协 ...
