<p>近幾天來，The Children’s Place（PLCE）股價實現了強勁的回升，成為零售行業表現最佳的公司之一。股價飆升至 17.20 美元的高點，是自 3 月 6 日以來的最高點，比本月最低點高出 233%。</p>
<h2>空頭擠壓持續</h2>
<p>The Children’s Place 在過去幾年一直是零售行業表現最差的公司之一。在 2018 年達到 155.30 美元的高點後，股價本月早些時候跌至 4.66 美元的低點。</p>
<p>這一暴跌發生在銷售增速放緩、利潤下滑的背景下，引發了公司可能破產的擔憂。其拋售行為與其他專業零售商一致，這些公司在與沃爾瑪等綜合商店和亞馬遜等電商平台的競爭加劇中陷入困境。</p>
<p>例如，像 Rite Aid 這樣的大型藥店已經破產，而 CVS 和 Walgreens Boots Alliance 等知名品牌是行業中表現最差的公司之一。</p>
<p>同樣，像 Dollar Tree、Dollar General 和 Five Below 這樣的折扣零售商是標普 500 指數中表現最差的公司之一，今年下跌了近 50%。專注於化妝品的 Ulta Beauty 也出現了下滑。</p>
<p>The Children’s Place 股價表現不佳，其年收入從 2020 年的 18 億美元降至去年的 16 億美元以上。與此同時，公司從盈利轉為虧損。上個財年淨虧損達 1.54 億美元。</p>
<p>與此同時，公司資產負債表承壓，現金和短期投資從 2020 年的 6850 萬美元降至 2023 年的 1360 萬美元。公司有超過 3.16 億美元的短期貸款和 1.65 億美元的長期債務。</p>
<p>因此，不斷增加的債務和薄弱的資產負債表推動許多空頭賣家做空該公司，使其空頭頭寸超過 22%。</p>
<h2>財務指標改善</h2>
<p>PLCE 股價持續上漲是在公司上週公佈財務業績後發生的。</p>
<p>由於其在線電商部門的持續發展，第三季度總收入下降了 7.5%，至 3.19 億美元。</p>
<p>與其他零售商一樣，The Children’s Place 一直在加大在線電商業務的投入，這導致了更多的營銷支出。這一收入下降是因為公司減少了營銷支出和免費送貨等優惠。</p>
<p>業績還顯示，其可比零售銷售下降了 7.2%，而毛利潤增至 1.118 億美元。</p>
<p>The Children’s Place 上半年的淨銷售額下降了 11%，至 5.87 億美元，而毛利潤則增至 2.045 億美元。</p>
<p>這些業績表明管理層正在努力降低成本，改善盈利能力。</p>
<p>然而，存在一個風險，即公司的門店中存貨較多。這些存貨從 2 月的 3.62 億美元增至上個季度的 5.2 億美元。</p>
<p>此外，管理層可能希望籌集資金以改善資產負債表。公司在 2024 年剩餘時間有價值 4500 萬美元的租賃負債和 2025 年有 6400 萬美元的負債。公司可能會利用其剩餘的循環信貸來償還這筆債務。幸運的是，公司在今年剩餘時間、2025 年和 2026 年沒有到期債務。</p>

PLCE

<p>最近，Children's Place（PLCE）股票價格大幅上漲，最高達到 20 美元，較本月最低點上漲了 233%。儘管過去曾經歷營收和盈利大幅下滑等困境，但該公司正在改善其財務指標。股票最近的表現被歸因於空頭頭寸的壓力，但分析師警告稱，這種趨勢可能是暫時的。股票顯示出看漲跡象，積極的技術指標表明可能會有進一步的漲幅，儘管由於高庫存水平和債務義務而存在風險</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><h2>Short squeeze continues</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>空頭擠壓持續</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>這一暴跌發生在銷售增速放緩、利潤下滑的背景下，引發了公司可能破產的擔憂。其拋售行為與其他專業零售商一致，這些公司在與沃爾瑪等綜合商店和亞馬遜等電商平台的競爭加劇中陷入困境。</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 這樣的大型藥店已經破產，而 CVS 和 Walgreens Boots Alliance 等知名品牌是行業中表現最差的公司之一。</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>同樣，像 Dollar Tree、Dollar General 和 Five Below 這樣的折扣零售商是標普 500 指數中表現最差的公司之一，今年下跌了近 50%。專注於化妝品的 Ulta Beauty 也出現了下滑。</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 股價表現不佳，其年收入從 2020 年的 18 億美元降至去年的 16 億美元以上。與此同時，公司從盈利轉為虧損。上個財年淨虧損達 1.54 億美元。</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>與此同時，公司資產負債表承壓，現金和短期投資從 2020 年的 6850 萬美元降至 2023 年的 1360 萬美元。公司有超過 3.16 億美元的短期貸款和 1.65 億美元的長期債務。</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，不斷增加的債務和薄弱的資產負債表推動許多空頭賣家做空該公司，使其空頭頭寸超過 22%。</p>
</div><h2>Improved financial metrics</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>財務指標改善</h2>
</div><p>The ongoing PLCE stock price happened after the company published its financial results last week.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>PLCE 股價持續上漲是在公司上週公佈財務業績後發生的。</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 class="lb-trans"><p>由於其在線電商部門的持續發展，第三季度總收入下降了 7.5%，至 3.19 億美元。</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>與其他零售商一樣，The Children’s Place 一直在加大在線電商業務的投入，這導致了更多的營銷支出。這一收入下降是因為公司減少了營銷支出和免費送貨等優惠。</p>
</div><p>The results also showed that its comparable retail sales dropped by 7.2% while its gross profit rose to $111.8 million.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>業績還顯示，其可比零售銷售下降了 7.2%，而毛利潤增至 1.118 億美元。</p>

</div><p>These results mean that the management is doing well to reduce its costs and improve profitability.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>這些業績表明管理層正在努力降低成本，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，存在一個風險，即公司的門店中存貨較多。這些存貨從 2 月的 3.62 億美元增至上個季度的 5.2 億美元。</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，管理層可能希望籌集資金以改善資產負債表。公司在 2024 年剩餘時間有價值 4500 萬美元的租賃負債和 2025 年有 6400 萬美元的負債。公司可能會利用其剩餘的循環信貸來償還這筆債務。幸運的是，公司在今年剩餘時間、2025 年和 2026 年沒有到期債務。</p>
