ウォール街の株価上昇を受け、イラン協議への期待感から日本株も上昇

-- 火曜日の日本株は、ウォール街の上昇に追随し、上昇して取引を終えた。これは、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領がホルムズ海峡を巡る緊張にもかかわらず、イランは対話の用意があると発言したことを受け、リスクセンチメントが改善したことが背景にある。 日経平均株価は前日比2.43%(1,374.62ポイント)高の57,877.39円で引けた。 米国とイランは、週末の交渉が合意に至らずに終わったことを受け、停戦延長に向けた新たな協議の開催を検討している。 この動きは、外交努力が継続されているにもかかわらず、トランプ大統領がイランへの圧力を強めるため、ホルムズ海峡の海上封鎖を命じたことを受けてのものだ。この封鎖は世界のエネルギーの流れを阻害し、地域情勢の緊張を高める恐れがあり、主要同盟国は米国に対し緊張緩和を求めている。 企業関連では、オリックス(東証:8591)が、IX NTIホールディングスの全株式をオリンパスパートナーズの関連会社に売却することで合意したことを受け、株価は3%上昇した。ただし、この取引は関係当局の承認が必要であり、財務への影響は不透明である。 資生堂(東証:4911)は、中国における消費低迷と国内競争の激化を乗り切るため、海外ブランドがプレミアム戦略に頼っているとの報道を受け、株価は3%下落した。 富士通(東証:6702)は、米国製テクノロジーに代わる世界的な需要を取り込むため、AIサービス事業への転換を図っているとの報道を受け、株価は4%上昇した。

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.

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.
