アジア開発銀行、中東危機を受けアジア開発途上国の経済成長予測を下方修正

By

-- アジア開発銀行(ADB)は、中東紛争の長期化による混乱がエネルギー価格の高騰と金融引き締めを招いていることを理由に、アジア太平洋地域の開発途上国の経済成長予測を大幅に下方修正する一方、インフレ予測を上方修正した。 ADBは、同地域の経済成長率を2026年に4.7%、2027年に4.8%と予測しており、これは従来の5.1%から下方修正された。一方、インフレ率は今年5.2%まで加速した後、2027年には4.1%に減速すると予測されている(ADB最新報告書による)。 ADBは、今回の修正は原油・天然ガス価格への持続的な圧力を反映したものであり、原油価格は2026年には平均で1バレルあたり約96ドルになると予想され、紛争前の水準を大幅に上回り、燃料輸入国経済に重くのしかかると述べている。 同行は、より深刻なシナリオでは、今年の成長率は4.2%、来年は4%までさらに鈍化する可能性があり、インフレ率は2026年に7.4%まで急上昇する可能性があると付け加え、的を絞った財政支援と慎重な金融政策対応を促した。

Research Alert: Caterpillar Q1: Construction Machinery Restocking Enables Strong Results

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Caterpillar's (CAT) Q1 earnings beat expectations with EPS of $5.47 vs. the consensus of $4.64, as sales surged 22% Y/Y to $17.4B, supported by $2.3B from higher volumes and $426M from pricing. Despite tariff headwinds that pressured operating margins lower by 30 bps, operating profit rose 20% on strong sales growth. Growth stemmed from CAT's cyclical Construction segment rather than the increasingly important Power & Energy business. Management guided tariff costs at $2.2B-$2.4B for 2026. Construction Industries led with sales rising 38% to $7.2B and segment profit surging 50% to $1.54B, with margins expanding 160 bps to 21.4% despite tariff pressures from dealer restocking. Power & Energy maintained momentum with 22% sales growth to $7B; however, margins compressed 170 bps to 20.6% as tariff costs weighed, while power generation sales increased 41% to $2.8B on data center demand. Resource Industries disappointed, with segment profit plummeting 39% to $378M as margins compressed 700 bps to 10.0%.

Research Alert: Mo: Q1 Well Ahead Of Expectations; Guidance Unchanged

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Altria (MO) posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.32 vs. $1.23 (+7%), well above the $1.25 consensus. Net revenue rose 5.3% to $4.76B ($180M above consensus) as higher price realizations fully offset lower volumes, which declined 2.3% for smokeable products and 3.1% for oral tobacco. MO maintained 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $5.56-$5.72, the midpoint of which is ahead of the $5.62 consensus and implies Y/Y growth of 2.5%-5.5% from the $5.42 earned in 2025. The company expects more balanced growth between the first and second halves of 2026, with guidance now contemplating moderated e-vapor industry growth impacts and increased macroeconomic uncertainty. MO repurchased $280M in shares and paid $1.8B in dividends during the quarter. Despite the big Q1 beat, MO shares are currently trading flat in pre-market trading, likely reflecting concerns as to why the company didn't raise full-year guidance considering the strength of Q1 results. However, we note that MO has a long history of providing conservative guidance.
