Walgreens Faces Nasdaq 100 Ouster Amid Financial Woes; Super Micro Computer Eyed As Replacement: Report
In a series of setbacks for Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ:WBA), the company is now at risk of being removed from the Nasdaq 100 index. The potential replacement is Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), which could mark another blow for the struggling pharmacy giant.
沃爾格林聯盟公司（NASDAQ:WBA）近來遭遇一系列挫折，現在有可能被排除在納斯達克100指數外。潛在替代品是超微電腦公司（NASDAQ:SMCI），這可能對這個陷入困境的藥房巨頭造成又一打擊。
What Happened: Walgreens, which was ousted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average in February, is now facing the possibility of being dropped from the Nasdaq 100 index. The most likely candidate for its replacement is Super Micro Computer, as reported in Barron's feature on Thursday.
發生了什麼：沃爾格林聯盟公司在2月份被道瓊斯工業平均指數（Dow Jones Industrial Average）清除後，現在面臨被從納斯達克100指數中刪除的可能性。超微電腦最有可能成爲其替代品，據《巴倫》週四報道。
Walgreens' shares plummeted by 22.2% to $12.19 on Thursday after the company announced the closure of several pharmacies and revised its financial guidance for the current fiscal year to around $2.87 a share, below the consensus of $3.21.
沃爾格林的股票在週四大跌22.2%，至12.19美元，此前該公司宣佈關閉多家藥店，並將本財年的財務預測修正至大約每股2.87美元，低於3.21美元的共識預期。
With a market value of approximately $10.5 billion, Walgreens is at risk of being removed from the Nasdaq 100, which requires its members to have a market value of at least 0.1% of the total market value, currently around $23 trillion. Walgreens is currently at about 0.05% and has the smallest market capitalization in the index.
以大約105億美元的市值計算，沃爾格林可能被從納斯達克100指數中剔除，該指數要求其成員的市值至少爲總市值的0.1%，目前約爲23萬億美元。沃爾格林目前的市值僅佔0.05%，是該指數中市值最小的公司。
According to the NDX rules, a company can be dropped if it fails to maintain a 0.1% weighting at two consecutive month-ends and a suitable replacement can be found. Walgreens did not meet this requirement at the end of May and is unlikely to do so at the end of June.
根據納斯達克100指數的規定，如果一家公司在連續兩個月底未能保持0.1%的權重並且找到了合適的替代品，則可能被剔除。沃爾格林在5月底未滿足這一要求，到6月底也不太可能滿足。
Super Micro Computer, a leading server manufacturer for AI, has seen its stock triple this year. With a market value of around $52 billion, it is the most discussed potential addition to the NDX.
爲人工智能生產服務器的超微電腦，今年的股票漲了兩倍多，市值約爲520億美元，成爲最受關注的可能成爲納斯達克100指數成分的公司。
Why It Matters: Walgreens' potential removal from the Nasdaq 100 is the latest in a series of challenges for the company. The stock has been on a downward trajectory since its peak of nearly $100 in 2015. The company was previously seen as a retail growth story similar to Costco and had a high price/earnings ratio due to its perceived strong position in the pharmacy business.
爲沃爾格林聯盟公司可能被納斯達克100指數排除所帶來的影響是這個公司遭遇的一系列挑戰的最新體現。自2015年近100美元的高點以來，該公司的股票一直在走下坡路。該公司此前被視爲與好市多類似的零售增長故事，並且由於其在藥房業務中的看似堅固地位而擁有高市盈率。
However, the recent announcement of pharmacy closures and a revised financial outlook have further dampened investor confidence. The potential removal from the Nasdaq 100 could have significant implications for the company's stock and its position in the market.
然而，最近宣佈關閉藥店和修正財務預測的公告進一步削弱了投資者的信心。被從納斯達克100指數中刪除可能會給該公司的股票和在市場中的地位帶來重大影響。
These developments also highlight the broader trends in the tech sector, which has been trailing behind communication services in recent months.
這些發展也凸顯了科技行業的更廣泛趨勢，近幾個月一直落後於通信服務。
