ウェドブッシュ証券によると、Netflixの広告事業が通期収益を押し上げる見込み。

-- ウェドブッシュ証券は金曜日の顧客向けレポートで、Netflix(NFLX)は広告収入の大幅な増加を背景に、2026年に収益成長が見込まれると述べた。 同証券は、Netflixの今年の広告収入が少なくとも2倍の30億ドルに達し、2027年以降も「著しい」成長機会があると予測している。Netflixは1月に、今年の総収益を507億ドルから517億ドルと予想しており、前年比12%から14%増、広告収入はほぼ2倍になると見込んでいる。 ウェドブッシュ証券のアナリスト、アリシア・リース氏はレポートの中で、「Netflixは、パートナーシップの拡大、ターゲティングの改善、人工知能の活用、ライブコンテンツの追加などを通じて、広告事業から着実に収益を上げ続けるだろう」と述べている。「今年は、Netflixが膨大なデータを活用してパフォーマンスマーケティング能力を強化することで、インタラクティブ広告や、最終的には購入機会が生まれると予想される」。 ウェドブッシュ証券は、Netflixの解約率が低いのはコンテンツの多様性、質、そして奥深さによるものであり、これは広告主にとって「重要な」点だと指摘した。同社は広告戦略の改善により、第2四半期から会員一人当たりの平均収益が上昇する可能性があると、同証券は述べている。 ウェドブッシュ証券は、Netflixの第1四半期の売上高を122億2000万ドルと予想しており、これはウォール街の予想である121億8000万ドル、および同社ガイダンスの121億6000万ドルを上回る。同証券は1株当たり利益を0.77ドルと予想しているが、ファクトセットが調査したアナリストはGAAPベースで0.79ドルと予想している。 Netflixは4月16日に最新の四半期決算を発表する予定だ。 同証券は、Netflixが実施した最新の料金値上げは、今年の同社の収益性を「大きく」押し上げる可能性があると述べている。先月、同社は米国における全プランの料金を引き上げ、広告付きのスタンダードプランを月額7.99ドルから8.99ドルに値上げした。広告なしのスタンダードプランは月額19.99ドルに2ドル値上げされ、プレミアムプランは従来の24.99ドルから26.99ドルに値上げされた。 ウェドブッシュ証券は同社株の投資判断を「アウトパフォーム」に据え置き、目標株価を115ドルから118ドルに引き上げた。 UBS証券は木曜日の別のレポートで、今回の値上げの影響が表れるにつれ、Netflixは通期業績予想を上回る可能性があると指摘した。一方、バンク・オブ・アメリカ証券は最近、Netflixの予想よりも早い値上げは同社の価格決定力の高さを浮き彫りにしていると述べている。

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.

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.
