アルタス・グループ、大規模な自己株式取得の暫定結果を発表

-- 商業用不動産情報を提供するアルタス・グループ(AIF.TO)は、水曜日に実施した大規模自己株式取得(SIB)の暫定結果を発表した。 SIBに基づき、同社は自社の普通株式を、総額2億カナダドルを上限として、1株当たり42.00ドル以上52.00ドル以下の価格で買い取り、消却することを提案した。 SIB(株式買戻しプログラム)は2026年4月21日に失効しました。 アルタス・グループは、SIBの諸条件に基づき、またSIBの預託機関であるTSXトラスト・カンパニーの暫定計算に基づき、SIBにより約380万株を1株あたり52.00ドルで取得し、その総額は約2億ドル、アルタス・グループの発行済株式総数(エスクロー株式を除く)の約9.69%に相当すると発表しました(SIB適用前、希薄化なし)。同社によると、約8万2000株が保証引渡通知により応募されました。 また、預託機関の暫定計算に基づき、比例応募を含め、約440万株が有効に応募され、撤回されなかったと付け加えました。アルタス・グループの取締役および執行役員はSIBに参加していないとのことです。 「SIB(株主間債券発行)は応募超過となったため、買付価格以下で入札した株主、および買付価格で入札した、または入札したとみなされる株主については、SIBの最終結果確定後、株式数が比例配分されます(ただし、端数株の入札は比例配分の対象外です)。」 アルタス・グループは、買付価格以下で入札した株主および買付価格で入札した株主については、保有株式の約87.13%がアルタス・グループによって買付されると見込んでいると発表しました。 同社は声明の中で、有効な比例配分入札を行った株主については、端数株の買付を避けるため、SIB完了前と同じ株式保有比率を維持できる数の株式がアルタス・グループによって買付されると述べています。 また、比例配分入札により約2,518株が買付される見込みであると付け加えました。 SIB(株主間取引)実施後、同社は発行済株式総数が約3,580万株(エスクロー預託株式187,809株を除く)になると見込んでいます。 同社の株価はトロント証券取引所で直近の取引で0.97ドル安の48.71ドルでした。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
