蘋果成貿易戰砲灰!新關稅名單無獲豁免 iPhone要加價25%?

中美貿易戰再度升温,繼上周五(10日)調高關稅後,美國再公布新一輪針對進口中國貨品3000億美元的關稅計劃,在名單中包括了手提電話及各種電器產品。由於iPhone在中國生產,名單中將包含在內。
2018年12月蘋果首次發布沒有「iPhone銷量數字」的財報,iPhone在環球市場銷量下跌,尤其在中國市場最為疲弱。有輿論認為主要是因為iPhone「價格太貴、創新不足」,市場遭中國手機奪走;亦有輿論認為這是因中美貿易戰打響,中國罷買iPhone所致,又或是兩者相輔相承。
新一輪關稅生效蘋果恐遭殃
美國過去針對中國2000億的關稅項目中,包括了網絡設備及電路板等組件,但為避免影響蘋果關係,Apple Watch、iPhone等獲得豁免。但在新一輪3000億的關稅名單中,所有從中國進口的商品都將被加徵關稅,包括貢獻蘋果逾五成營收的iPhone。
在美國公布新一輪關稅項目名單後,蘋果股價隨即下挫6%至186美元,是蘋果自2013年錄得的最大跌幅。若貿易戰進一步升級,將為蘋果帶來重創。
不會大幅加價 但盈利減少無法避免
新一輪關稅有機會提高至25%,意味在最壞的情況下,未來新蘋果產品,包括iPhone將大幅加價25%。但這並不現實:一部售價已逾8000多元的最新iPhone XS,加價上萬元將令人難以負擔,蘋果理論上不會把關稅成本完全轉嫁消費者。
特朗普曾表示美國企業迴避關稅的最好方法,就是把生產線搬回美國。因此有分析指出蘋果會把生產線轉移,以應對美國向中國增加關稅造成的損失。維德布什證券(Wedbush Securities)預料短期內蘋果會把3至5%的中國生產線轉移至印度。惟蘋果無法完全把生產線撤離,因幾乎所有蘋果產品均是由中國代工製造。
摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)估算,若蘋果完全把關稅的成本自行吸收,蘋果2020會計年度每股盈餘將下跌23%。(新聞來源:udn聯合新聞網)
