Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2018 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了一个可识别的、目前规模较小的业务,且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户响应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在采取具体措施扩大投入。 在记录中,管理层提到了“Ally Invest”和“Ally Home”作为新产品。关于Ally Invest,JB说“Ally Invest is making good progress, and we're excited about some of the improved customer interface and technology we'll be rolling out this year in that business.” 这里没有提到客户响应超出准备,只是说进展良好。关于Ally Home,JB说“We've got some work to do on Ally Home in improving that offering, and I expect us to make a lot of great progress on mortgage overall this year.” 也没有提到需求超出准备。 其他部分主要讨论核心业务如汽车金融和存款,这些是主要业务,不是小规模新业务。因此,没有找到符合两个条件的特定小规模业务。 答案应为NO。
