Shares of Workhorse, a maker of battery-powered commercial vehicles, jumped almost 13% Friday. The market appears to be prepping for a decision from the U.S. Postal Service about an order for vehicles to replace the white, right-hand-drive vans, ubiquitous on American roads. The pending decision should make Workhorse stock volatile next week, too.
電池驅動商用車製造商WormHorse的股價上週五上漲了近13%。市場似乎正在為美國郵政服務公司(U.S.Postal Service)的一項決定做準備，該決定要求車輛更換在美國道路上隨處可見的白色右手面包車。這一懸而未決的決定應該也會讓下週的主力股票出現波動。
Workhorse (ticker: WKHS) makes electric delivery vans ordered by several customers including Ryder System (R). Production and deliveries are ramping higher at Workhorse.
工作馬公司(股票代碼：WKHS)生產多家客户訂購的電動送貨車，其中包括萊德系統公司(註冊商標)。主力工廠的產量和交貨量都在攀升。
The company also bid on U.S. Post Office business to replace thousands of aging vehicles. There are a few bidders, but Workhorse is the only all-electric option available.
該公司還競標美國郵局業務，以更換數千輛老化的汽車。有幾個競標者，但WormHorse是唯一可用的全電動選擇。
The request for proposals were due to the USPS by July 14. The decision is supposed to come 90 days after that, which means about Oct. 13. That's this coming Tuesday. The USPS wasn't immediately available for comment about timing.
徵求建議書的截止日期是7月14日。決定應該在90天后做出，也就是10月13日左右。也就是本週二。記者無法立即聯繫到美國移民局就時間安排置評。
"We expect Workhorse to be the recipient of the Post Office's $8.1 [billion award]," wrote Roth Capital analyst Craig Irwin in a Friday research report. "We expect Workhorse to be the recipient as [an electric-vehicle maker] is the best fit for the USPS application." The stop-start driving nature of USPS deliveries recharges batteries through regenerative braking, and the lower long-term maintenance costs associated with EVs are two of the reasons he's upbeat. Irwin rates Workhorse stock at Buy and has a $33 price target.
他説：“我們預期郵政署將收到8.1元的款項。[億萬獎金]Roth Capital分析師克雷格·歐文(Craig Irwin)在週五的一份研究報告中寫道。[一家電動汽車製造商]歐文最適合USPS的應用。“USPS送貨的斷斷續續的駕駛特性通過再生制動為電池充電，與電動汽車相關的較低的長期維護成本是他樂觀的兩個原因。歐文在Buy對主力股票進行評級，並設定了33美元的目標價。
He isn't alone in his views. Wall Street, overall, is bullish on Workhorse stock, although the number of analysts covering the company is small. Four out of five rate shares Buy. The average Buy-rating ratio for stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average is about 58%. About 30 analysts cover the average Dow-component stock.
他的觀點並不孤單。總體而言，華爾街看好主力股，儘管追蹤該公司的分析師數量很少。五分之四的股票是買入的。道瓊斯工業平均指數(Dow Jones Industrial Average)股票的平均買入評級比約為58%。大約有30名分析師覆蓋了道瓊斯指數成分股的平均水平。
The USPS contract is a big deal for the company. Another event also impacted Workhorse stock Friday. DiamondPeak (DPHC) is merging with Lordstown Motors. The date for shareholders to vote on the merger was set Thursday for Oct. 22. DiamondPeak shares rose almost 13% Friday on the announcement. Workhorse owns 10% of Lordstown.
USPS的合同對該公司來説是一件大事。另一個事件也影響了週五的主力股票。鑽石峯(DiamondPeak)正在與洛德斯敦汽車公司(Lordstown Motors)合併。股東投票表決合併的日期定於週四10月22日。消息公佈後，DiamondPeak的股價上週五上漲了近13%。勞馬公司擁有洛德斯敦10%的股份。
The move gives Lordstown, the electric-pickup-truck start up, a market value of about $3.8 billion based on the 164 million shares outstanding if the merger is completed. That's worth about $380 million to Workhorse, and $43 million more than the stake was worth on Thursday.
此舉使電動皮卡初創公司Lordstown的市值達到約38億美元，如果合併完成，Lordstown將擁有1.64億股流通股。這對主力公司來説價值約3.8億美元，比周四的持股價值高出4300萬美元。
DiamondPeak stock's gain amounted to about 13% of the total gain in Workhorse market value. Workhorse has a $2.8 billion market capitalization.
DiamondPeak股票的漲幅約佔主力市場總漲幅的13%。WorkHorse的市值為28億美元。
Barron's recently wrote positively about Workhorse stock because of both the Lordstown stake and the USPS deal. Shares are up 77% since the article appeared in July. We, frankly, didn't expect shares to go so far so fast. The stock price rise makes the USPS event more significant for the stock going forward. The company will need to win to maintain momentum.
由於Lordstown的股份和USPS的交易，Barron‘s最近都對主力股票持正面看法。自7月份這篇文章發表以來，該公司股價上漲了77%。坦率地説，我們沒有想到股價會走得這麼遠，走得這麼快。股價上漲使USPS事件對該股未來的走勢更具意義。該公司將需要獲勝才能保持勢頭。
Year to date, Workhorse stock has been on fire, rocketing 781%, far better than comparable returns of the S&P 500 and the Dow.
今年到目前為止，主力股一直火爆，飆升781%，遠遠好於標準普爾500指數和道瓊斯指數的可比回報率。
