越南调研纪要：关税影响；订单量未变，短期内加速交 付；长期内市场份额有望增长 4 月 9 日-11 日，我们组织调研了越南（河内、海防和胡志明市）的中国 纺织企业，实地考察了头部纺织/OEM 厂商（包括互太纺织、维珍妮、 超盈国际、新澳股份和华孚时尚），并与工厂厂长、高级管理人员和行 业专家进行了交流。交流纪要如下：1）本年迄今订单量保持强劲，产能 利用率保持在较高水平，但由于近年来中国向越南转移的产能增加，关 键问题是招工；2）目前美国客户尚未就订单作出反应（例如削减订单、 价格谈判等），尤其是耐克、阿迪、维密等大客户，但客户要求现有订 单在 90 天内（46%额外关税的暂停征收期）加速交付；3）鉴于美国和 越南正在积极谈判，越南纺织企业管理层对关税问题仍持谨慎乐观态度 ；虽然管理层认为全球需求存在不确定性，但预计长期内市场份额料将 增长；4）面对额外的关税负担，低个位数的均价折扣或许是 OEM 厂商 能够接受的最高水平。4 月 3 日以来，OEM 厂商股价大幅下跌（申洲国 际跌逾 20%；超盈国际跌逾 30%；同期恒生指数跌 8.5%），我们认为回 调幅度已过度。我们维持对头部 OEM 厂商（超盈国际、申 ...

Monthly Databook: Higher 2Q25 iPhone/iPad Builds amid Tariff Uncertainties Key Takeaways We raise our 2Q25 iPhone build estimates by 4mn units to 45mn units (-10% QoQ, +15% YoY) vs. historically 15-25% QoQ decline in 2Q.
