インドネシアの消費者信頼感指数が3月に低下

-- インドネシアの消費者信頼感は3月に小幅に低下した。回答者は雇用市場と経済全体の見通しについて慎重な姿勢を示した。 インドネシア中央銀行が金曜日に発表したところによると、インドネシアの消費者信頼感指数は3月に122.9となり、2月の125.2から低下した。これは5カ月ぶりの低水準だが、楽観と悲観の分岐点である100を依然として大きく上回っている。 3月の信頼感低下は、経済見通しの悪化と雇用機会への期待の低下を反映している。 3月の現状経済状況指数は115.4となり、2月の115.9から小幅に低下した。 中央銀行によると、消費者期待指数は3月に130.4となり、2月の134.4から低下した。 また、消費者は3月には2月よりも高額耐久財への支出に対する信頼感が低下した。 その他の指標では、企業活動期待指数は2月の130.9から3月には125.5に低下したとインドネシア銀行が発表した。 概して、政府は3月に補助金を通じて消費者向け燃料価格を据え置いた。 インドネシア銀行によると、インドネシアの消費者調査は、18の主要都市の4,600世帯を対象に、電話と訪問による調査を毎月実施している。

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.

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.
