<p>近几天来，The Children’s Place（PLCE）股价实现了强劲的回升，成为零售行业表现最佳的公司之一。股价飙升至 17.20 美元的高点，是自 3 月 6 日以来的最高点，比本月最低点高出 233%。</p>
<h2>空头挤压持续</h2>
<p>The Children’s Place 在过去几年一直是零售行业表现最差的公司之一。在 2018 年达到 155.30 美元的高点后，股价本月早些时候跌至 4.66 美元的低点。</p>
<p>这一暴跌发生在销售增速放缓、利润下滑的背景下，引发了公司可能破产的担忧。其抛售行为与其他专业零售商一致，这些公司在与沃尔玛等综合商店和亚马逊等电商平台的竞争加剧中陷入困境。</p>
<p>例如，像 Rite Aid 这样的大型药店已经破产，而 CVS 和 Walgreens Boots Alliance 等知名品牌是行业中表现最差的公司之一。</p>
<p>同样，像 Dollar Tree、Dollar General 和 Five Below 这样的折扣零售商是标普 500 指数中表现最差的公司之一，今年下跌了近 50%。专注于化妆品的 Ulta Beauty 也出现了下滑。</p>
<p>The Children’s Place 股价表现不佳，其年收入从 2020 年的 18 亿美元降至去年的 16 亿美元以上。与此同时，公司从盈利转为亏损。上个财年净亏损达 1.54 亿美元。</p>
<p>与此同时，公司资产负债表承压，现金和短期投资从 2020 年的 6850 万美元降至 2023 年的 1360 万美元。公司有超过 3.16 亿美元的短期贷款和 1.65 亿美元的长期债务。</p>
<p>因此，不断增加的债务和薄弱的资产负债表推动许多空头卖家做空该公司，使其空头头寸超过 22%。</p>
<h2>财务指标改善</h2>
<p>PLCE 股价持续上涨是在公司上周公布财务业绩后发生的。</p>
<p>由于其在线电商部门的持续发展，第三季度总收入下降了 7.5%，至 3.19 亿美元。</p>
<p>与其他零售商一样，The Children’s Place 一直在加大在线电商业务的投入，这导致了更多的营销支出。这一收入下降是因为公司减少了营销支出和免费送货等优惠。</p>
<p>业绩还显示，其可比零售销售下降了 7.2%，而毛利润增至 1.118 亿美元。</p>
<p>The Children’s Place 上半年的净销售额下降了 11%，至 5.87 亿美元，而毛利润则增至 2.045 亿美元。</p>
<p>这些业绩表明管理层正在努力降低成本，改善盈利能力。</p>
<p>然而，存在一个风险，即公司的门店中存货较多。这些存货从 2 月的 3.62 亿美元增至上个季度的 5.2 亿美元。</p>
<p>此外，管理层可能希望筹集资金以改善资产负债表。公司在 2024 年剩余时间有价值 4500 万美元的租赁负债和 2025 年有 6400 万美元的负债。公司可能会利用其剩余的循环信贷来偿还这笔债务。幸运的是，公司在今年剩余时间、2025 年和 2026 年没有到期债务。</p>

<p>The Children’s Place (PLCE) stock price has staged a strong comeback in the past few days, making it one of the best-performing companies in the retail industry. It soared to a high of $17.20, its highest point since March 6, and 233% above its lowest level this month.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>空头挤压持续</h2>
</div><p>The Children’s Place has been one of the worst-performing companies in the retail industry in the past few years. After peaking at $155.30 in 2018, the stock dropped to a low of $4.66 earlier this month.</p>

</div><p>This crash happened as its sales growth decelerated and as its profits dropped, raising concerns that it may go bankrupt. Its sell-off has been in line with other specialty retailers, who are struggling as competition from general stores like Walmart and e-commerce platforms like Amazon rise.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这一暴跌发生在销售增速放缓、利润下滑的背景下，引发了公司可能破产的担忧。其抛售行为与其他专业零售商一致，这些公司在与沃尔玛等综合商店和亚马逊等电商平台的竞争加剧中陷入困境。</p>
</div><p>For example, a pharmacy giant like Rite Aid has gone bankrupt while popular brands like CVS and Walgreens Boots Alliance are some of the top laggards in the industry.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>例如，像 Rite Aid 这样的大型药店已经破产，而 CVS 和 Walgreens Boots Alliance 等知名品牌是行业中表现最差的公司之一。</p>
</div><p>Similarly, discount retailers like Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Five Below are some of the worst-performing companies in the S&amp;P 500 index as they plunged by almost 50% this year. Ulta Beauty, which focuses on cosmetics items has also dropped.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>同样，像 Dollar Tree、Dollar General 和 Five Below 这样的折扣零售商是标普 500 指数中表现最差的公司之一，今年下跌了近 50%。专注于化妆品的 Ulta Beauty 也出现了下滑。</p>
</div><p>The Children’s Place stock has underperformed as its annual revenues dropped from $1.8 billion in 2020 to over $1.6 billion last year. In the same period, it has moved from being a profitable company into a loss-making one. It made a net loss of $154 million in the last financial year.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>The Children’s Place 股价表现不佳，其年收入从 2020 年的 18 亿美元降至去年的 16 亿美元以上。与此同时，公司从盈利转为亏损。上个财年净亏损达 1.54 亿美元。</p>
</div><p>At the same time, the company’s balance sheet has been under pressure as its cash and short-term investments fell from $68.5 million in 2020 to $13.6 million in 2023. It had over $316 million in short-term loans and $165 million in long-term debt.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>与此同时，公司资产负债表承压，现金和短期投资从 2020 年的 6850 万美元降至 2023 年的 1360 万美元。公司有超过 3.16 亿美元的短期贷款和 1.65 亿美元的长期债务。</p>
</div><p>As such, the combination of rising debts and a weak balance sheet pushed many short sellers to short the company, pushing its short interest to over 22%.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>因此，不断增加的债务和薄弱的资产负债表推动许多空头卖家做空该公司，使其空头头寸超过 22%。</p>

</div><p>The ongoing PLCE stock price happened after the company published its financial results last week.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>PLCE 股价持续上涨是在公司上周公布财务业绩后发生的。</p>
</div><p>Its total revenue dropped by 7.5% in the third quarter to over $319 million because of its ongoing e-commerce division.</p>

</div><p>Like other retailers, The Children’s Place has been ramping up its e-commerce operations, which has led to more marketing spending. This revenue decline happened as the company reduced its marketing spending and other offers like free shipping.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>这些业绩表明管理层正在努力降低成本，改善盈利能力。</p>
</div><p>The risk, however, is that it has substantial inventories in its stores. These inventories rose from over $362 million in February to $520 million in the last quarter.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>然而，存在一个风险，即公司的门店中存货较多。这些存货从 2 月的 3.62 亿美元增至上个季度的 5.2 亿美元。</p>
</div><p>Also, there is a risk that the management will want to raise capital to boost its balance sheet. It has lease liabilities worth $45 million for the remainder of 2024 and $64 million in 2025. It will likely use its remaining revolving credit to pay this debt. Fortunately, it does not have any debts maturing in the remainder of this year, 2025, and 2026.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>此外，管理层可能希望筹集资金以改善资产负债表。公司在 2024 年剩余时间有价值 4500 万美元的租赁负债和 2025 年有 6400 万美元的负债。公司可能会利用其剩余的循环信贷来偿还这笔债务。幸运的是，公司在今年剩余时间、2025 年和 2026 年没有到期债务。</p>
