美國科技股行不行?升息是危機還是轉機

今年以來美國股市高檔修正,尤其科技族群表現最弱勢,部分軟體股跌幅甚至高達雙位數以上,美國科技股何時回神?升息雜音將如何影響美股?

瀚亞投資認為,從大環境來看,利率政策並不是影響資本市場的唯一條件,長線來看,經濟基本面跟企業獲利,才是支持金融市場走強的根基。美國企業獲利持續看增,財報表現仍優異,長線尤其看好「元宇宙、自駕車」雙核心題材,建議投資人反而可趁此波跌勢,鎖定聚焦創新科技應用的美國科技基金,分批加碼低接。

美國減債、升息、縮表時間表

美國聯準會升息預期,造成全球股市擔憂,連帶影響美股走弱。針對未來可能的減債、升息及縮表的時間點預期,減債將如期於3月結束,3月份開始升息,且不排除每次會議皆會升息,機構法人預期,聯準會將在2022年6月開始縮減其資產負債表縮表,將以透過降低債券的到期再投資金額的「被動縮表」方式進行,這是比較和緩的縮表方式,有利於降低市場擔憂。

需要留意的是,目前高通膨對美國經濟的影響尚未完全顯現,今年美國經濟亦存在減緩風險。若聯準會觀察到貨幣政策的調整對美國經濟影響過大,屆時仍有放慢升息腳步可能。

企業財報亮牌 科技類股超乎預期

截至2022/2/14,美國財報周已公布的公司當中,高達7成以上獲利數字優於預期,更有超過5成的企業,表現顯著優於預期,尤其以資訊科技產業超出預期的比例最高。高盛證券更預估,S&P500指數科技類股2022年獲利年增率為7%,與大盤的8%相當。

瀚亞投資看好「元宇宙、自駕車」兩大趨勢,將是引領全球科技產業發展的核心,相關概念股有機會像前兩次科技革命,締造出5~10年的長線多頭行情。

趨勢一、元宇宙

元宇宙投資可分成三大重點:基礎建設、平台及內容、金流支付。要落實元宇宙概念,基礎建設必不可少,需有足夠的硬體設備和數位環境,才能創造完善的元宇宙體驗,包括高速運算、5G、雲端伺服器及電子設備等,將優先受惠元宇宙題材。

其次,人們透過影音平台、社群網站,或穿戴裝置等媒介,進一步體驗遊戲、影音與各項軟體,運用層面相當多元。最後則需要金流支付服務,無論是創造新需求或者結合現行支付系統,未來消費潛力皆龐大。

趨勢二、自駕車

無人駕駛是現階段市場上對汽車發展的最終目標,在此之前,投資可先關注電動車及車用電子的發展。隨著全球ESG趨勢當道,電動車取代燃油車指日可待,硬體上如電池、引擎、車體設計改變,新需求應運而生,也造就投資機會。至於車用電子部分,由於物聯網、倒車顯影、自駕偵測系統等運用發展成熟,單一車輛內建電子設備金額大幅攀升,值得投資人留意。
