Stock Of The Day: Why Is Advance Auto Rallying On A Loss?
But sometimes the headlines don't tell the whole story.The action in Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE:AAP) has some investors and traders confused. The company released its earnings report Thursday and it was well short of estimates.
Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE:AAP)的股票表現讓一些投資者和交易者感到困惑。該公司週四發佈了其盈利報告，但遠遠低於預期。
But the shares are trading higher. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
但股票價格正在上漲。這就是爲什麼它成爲我們的"股票"。
The company reported a loss of four cents per share. This was well below the Street's estimates of a profit of 49 cents. The revenue was also well short of estimates. It came in at $2.15 billion. Analysts were looking for $2.65 billion.
該公司報告每股虧損四美分，遠低於街頭預期每股盈利四十九美分。收入也遠低於預期，爲21.5億美元。分析師原本期待26.5億美元的收入。
But sometimes the headlines don't tell the whole story.
但有時頭條並不能講述整個故事。
Operating margin is an important metric studied by analysts. It is a measurement of how profitable a company is.
營業利潤率是分析師研究的重要指標。它是公司的盈利能力的衡量標準。
For example, if a company has an operating margin of 5%, after all costs and expenses, it makes five cents for every dollar of sales. If the margin is 7%, it makes seven cents on every dollar of sales, and so on.
例如，如果一家公司的營業利潤率爲5%，扣除所有成本和費用後，每銷售一美元，它能賺五美分。如果利潤率爲7%，它就能在每銷售一美元時賺七美分，以此類推。
If the operating margin is increasing, it means the company is becoming more efficient and profitable.
如果營業利潤率正在增加，意味着該公司正在變得更加高效和盈利。
Advance Auto's management team predicts an operating margin of 2%-3% in 2025. But their guidance for 2027 is 7%. So, despite current losses, some investors are buying shares because they believe the company will turn things around and that the long-term picture is bullish.
Advance Auto的管理團隊預測2025年的營業利潤率爲2%-3%。但他們對2027年的指導爲7%。因此，儘管目前虧損，一些投資者仍在購買股票，因爲他們相信該公司將扭轉局面，並且長期前景看好。

As you can see on the chart, the stock may be breaking out.
正如您在圖表上看到的一樣，股票可能正在突破。
Resistance is a large concentration of sell orders that are at, or close to, the same price. Uptrends tend to end and even reverse when they reach resistance.
支撐位是一大批賣單的集中區域，價格在該區域或接近該區域。上漲趨勢往往在到達支撐位時結束，甚至出現逆轉。
This was the case with Advanced Auto in September.
這一情況發生在九月份的愛文思控股。
If the price eventually moves above resistance, traders say it is a "breakout." This isn't just symbolic. It illustrates an important supply and demand dynamic.
如果價格最終突破了支撐位，交易員稱其爲「突破」。這並不僅僅是象徵性的。它展示了一個重要的供需動態。
It shows the investors and traders who created the resistance are gone. They have either canceled or finished their orders. This means a large amount of supply has left the market.
這表明創建支撐位的投資者和交易員已經離開了。他們要麼取消了訂單，要麼完成了訂單。這意味着大量的供應已經離開市場。
This could set the stage for a move higher.
這有可能爲價格上漲鋪平道路。
If new buyers enter the market, they will have a hard time finding someone to buy shares from. As a result, they will be forced to pay higher prices to get the interest of sellers. This could force the stock into an uptrend.
如果新買家進入市場，他們將很難找到買家。結果，他們將被迫支付更高的價格來吸引賣家的興趣。這可能會將股票推向上漲趨勢。
On Wall Street, the headlines may not tell the whole story and the initial reaction may be wrong. This could be the case with Advance Auto.
在華爾街，頭條新聞可能無法講清整個故事，初期反應可能是錯誤的。Advance Auto可能就是這種情況。
