合肥再现排队看房,这背后是轻量化改善市场的空白!
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-06-10 04:20
在刚刚过去的这个周末,朋友圈被两张图片刷屏了,一张是人山人海的售楼部,一张是排队等待看房的客户。 看到这两张图,可能很多人都会有"人气是真是假?""楼市回暖了?""为什么这个楼盘这么火"等等问题,我们来聊一聊。 单从图片上看,与此前一些楼盘发布的着装统一、实为中介集中踩盘的"人气图"相比,这两张图上客户年龄不一、着装不一、男女比例正常,符合正常客户 特征。 班长也通过多个渠道确认了真实性,虽然有一部分原因是案场不大,接待能力有限,但现场确实人气爆棚,看房客户络绎不绝。不过这种排队看房的楼盘还 是个别现象,并不能代表整体市场回暖。 滨投嘉玺,也就是图片中的楼盘,人气暴涨是在公布备案价和优惠政策以后。以10号楼为例,起步单价1.6万,116户型起步总价188万,中高楼层240万左 右,143户型最高300万左右。 这个备案价的基础上,滨投在常规优惠之外,还给予了中专5万、大专10万、普通本科15万、 211本科20万、985本科或硕士研究生25万、博士研究生30万的 人才补贴,补贴完单价最低1.3万+,突破想象。 而且嘉玺还是新计容楼盘,如116平户型相当于前期132平,折算下来单价更低,自然让众多买房人心动不已 ...

Why do you think it's my responsibility to make you better as professionals. you. Seriously, if you're not going to take the time to make yourself valuable, to embrace reality, you're doomed. I'm not going to help you.If you don't want to do this, you're either going to be poor or a burden on society. And again, this is a part of this awakening. Wake the up. Grow up.There's not going to be demand for people that cannot upgrade themselves. people that are having a bad time coping with reality and understandi ...
Where Will ChargePoint Stock Be in 1 Year?
The Motley Fool· 2025-06-08 22:14
Core Viewpoint - ChargePoint, a leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, appears undervalued relative to its growth potential despite recent mixed earnings results [1]. Financial Performance - For Q1 fiscal 2026, ChargePoint reported a revenue decline of 9% year over year to $97.6 million, missing analysts' expectations by $2.9 million [2]. - The company narrowed its net loss from $71.8 million to $57.1 million, equating to a loss of $0.12 per share, which was slightly better than consensus forecasts [2]. - Revenue figures over the past fiscal years show significant fluctuations: FY 2022 at $242 million, FY 2023 at $468 million, FY 2024 at $507 million, FY 2025 at $417 million, and Q1 2026 at $98 million [10]. Market Position and Strategy - ChargePoint ended Q1 with over 352,000 charging ports, including more than 35,000 DC fast chargers, and has partnerships providing access to over 1.25 million charging ports globally [5]. - The company differentiates itself by selling connected charging stations to residential and commercial properties, offering network access, billing, and customer support, unlike Tesla's Superchargers [6]. Growth Trends - ChargePoint experienced rapid growth in FY 2022 and FY 2023, but growth stalled in FY 2024 and FY 2025 due to rising interest rates affecting the EV market [7]. - Despite revenue declines, adjusted gross, operating, and adjusted EBITDA margins improved in FY 2025 and continued to expand in Q1 2026 [8]. Future Outlook - ChargePoint anticipates Q2 fiscal 2026 revenue between $90 million and $100 million, representing an 8% to 17% decline from the previous year [11]. - Analysts expect nearly flat revenue for the full year, with a potential improvement in the second half as the macroenvironment stabilizes [12]. - For fiscal 2027, analysts project a revenue increase of 29% to $537 million, with a negative adjusted EBITDA of $16 million, and for fiscal 2028, a revenue growth of 33% to $713 million with a positive adjusted EBITDA of $67 million [14]. Investment Potential - ChargePoint's current enterprise value of $465 million suggests it is undervalued at just over 1 times this year's sales [15]. - If the company meets analysts' expectations and trades at 2 times its forward sales by the beginning of fiscal 2027, its stock price could potentially increase by over 130% in the next 12 months [15].
