杰富瑞认为，中国宏桥稳健的运营业绩。中国宏桥公布 2025 年上半年净利润为 124 亿元，同比增长 35%。铝的ASP同比增长 2.7%至 17853 元/吨，与市场走势一致，而氧化铝的ASP增长了 10.3%至3243 元/吨 ，这一增长幅度明显高于市场价格的总体走势。单位营业成本(COGS)得到了良好控制，并保持了 竞争力。铝的成本小幅上涨 2%，即增加 200 元至 13300 元/吨，这可能是因为较高的碳阳极价格(同比 上涨 900 元)抵消了较低的煤炭/电力成本带来的节省。氧化铝的成本上涨 5%，即增加 100 元至 2300 元/ 吨，这部分是由于烧碱价格(同比上涨近 600 元)的上涨所致，而铝土矿则受益于垂直整合。 杰富瑞还指出，进一步强调对股东回报的重视。与中期业绩一同公布的还有另一项至少 30 亿港元的股 票回购计划，这表明管理层对公司业绩充满信心。在 2025 年上半年，公司已回购并随后注销了超过 1.87 亿股(约占已发行股份的 2%)，总价值约为 26 亿港元。另一方面，中国宏桥将其股息支付方式从半 年一次调整为每年一次，即今年不再发放中期股息。然而，对股东回报的重视程度并未改变， ...

2025年7月23日，特斯拉的Q2财报电话会议。埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）一如既往地向华尔街传递着乐 观且极具感染力的情绪。当谈到公司倾注心血打造的AI超级计算机Dojo时，他充满了自信："我们预计 Dojo 2将在明年某个时候实现规模化运营，其规模大约相当于10万块H100芯片" 。 Dojo项目的种子，早在2019年4月22日的特斯拉"自动驾驶投资者日"上就已埋下了。那时的特斯拉正面 临一个前所未有的挑战：如何处理来自全球数百万辆汽车摄像头产生的、如洪水般涌入的视频数据。这 些数据是训练FSD神经网络的燃料，而传统的计算架构，在处理这种规模的视觉数据时显得力不从心。 马斯克的解决方案，充满了"第一性原理"的味道：与其购买昂贵且并非为特斯拉量身定做的通用GPU， 不如从零开始，打造一个完全为自家算法优化的专属计算系统。这一战略的背后，是三重野心： 这番话无疑是一剂强心针。在投资者眼中，Dojo不仅是特斯拉实现完全自动驾驶（FSD）的技术基石， 也是其从一家电动车公司蜕变为万亿市值AI巨头的核心引擎。摩根士丹利的分析师甚至曾为其描绘了 高达5000亿美元的潜在价值 。 然而，没有人预料到，这场"壮观" ...
