週四盤後，美版“美團”$DoorDash, Inc.(DASH)$ 、美版“拼多多”$ContextLogic Inc.(WISH)$ 公佈了2021財年第二季度業績，結果讓人大跌眼鏡。疲軟的業績指引給兩家企業下半年蒙上了一層陰影，在中國順風順水的互聯網模式卻在美國舉步維艱，各項成本高企增加了盈利難度，疫情紅利消失後，這些企業將如何維持增長？ 慘淡季報後暴跌20%，wish還有希望嗎？ ContextLogic是跨境電商巨頭wish母公司，被稱爲美版“拼多多”。第二季度，公司營收同比下降6.4%至6.56億美元，淨虧損1.11億美元，不及管理層預期和市場預期，盤後股價暴跌20%。受制於去年高基數，其實本季度肯定面臨很大的比較壓力，但收入同比下滑對於電商平臺是不可接受的。 其實在業績披露之前，市場就發出過預警，美銀分析師最近將ContextLogic的評級從之前的“買入”下調至“中性”，12美元的目標價也是目前所有分析師中最低的。雖然投資者和對電商初創企業仍普遍看好，但短期內市場資金明顯出現了搖擺。 同其他電商初創平臺類似，ContextLogic也難免經歷着短期業績陣痛期，而本季度只是ContextLogic增速放緩的一個縮影。其實在2019年，公司就告別了高增長，直到疫情開始各項業務才全面復甦。我們看到本季度疫情紅利褪去後，活躍賣家數、訂單量、APP下載量、用戶時長全線下降，ContextLogic業績不穩定的特性暴露無遺。 電商平臺初期爲了擴大市場、吸引用戶，高投入要忍受巨大的虧損壓力。更可況wish還在自建物流體系，以減少運輸時間並降低運費
