-- カナダのエネルギー企業サンコア・エナジー(SU)は火曜日、第1四半期の原油生産量と精製処理量が過去最高を記録したと発表した。 3月31日締めの第1四半期において、原油生産量は日量87万5200バレルとなり、前年同期の85万3200バレルを上回り、同四半期の過去最高を記録した。 オイルサンド生産量は同四半期に日量79万8800バレルとなり、前年同期の79万バレルを上回った。フォートヒルズ油田の四半期生産量は過去最高を記録したと同社は述べている。 探査・生産部門の生産量は日量7万6400バレルとなり、前年同期の6万2300バレルを上回った。サンコアによると、これは「全資産における好調な生産」によるものだという。 その結果、原油販売量は前年同期の82万8400バレルから87万2100バレルへと増加した。 下流部門では、原油処理量が第1四半期に過去最高の497,800バレル/日を記録し、前年同期の482,700バレル/日を上回った。これは、ボトルネック解消活動による設備増強と、堅調な操業実績が要因であると、同社は発表した。 設備増強により、1月1日時点の製油ネットワークの定格処理能力は10%増加し、511,000バレル/日となった。この新たな定格処理能力により、第1四半期の製油所稼働率は平均97%となり、前年同期の94%から上昇したと、報告書は述べている。 また、精製製品の販売量も四半期ベースで過去最高の680,900バレル/日を記録した。これは前年同期の604,900バレル/日を上回るもので、製油所生産量の増加を反映している。 サンコア社は、「世界的な輸出販売機会を最大限に活用するとともに、小売事業の拡大と戦略的パートナーシップを通じて国内販売量を増やし続けた」ことで、好調な販売実績を達成したと述べている。

Research Alert: L: Q1 Revenue And Eps Miss, Though Results May Not Be Comparable To Consensus
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:L's Q1 revenue of CAD14.4B (+4% Y/Y) missed consensus by CAD90M, while adjusted EPS of CAD0.49 (+9% Y/Y) fell short of CAD0.52 estimates, though we think PC Financial's presentation in discontinued operations may affect comparability. Food retail same-store sales of 2.4% accelerated from Q4's 1.5%, with drug retail posting 4.1% growth. We view the solid same-store sales momentum as encouraging, particularly given internal food inflation remained well below the 4.4% CPI, indicating L's strong value proposition. Management reiterated 2026 guidance for high single-digit EPS growth and CAD2.4B in gross capex. Store expansion accelerated with 13 net openings, including five hard discount locations, aligning with consumer preference shifts toward value formats. Strong FCF of CAD621M (+189% Y/Y) supported aggressive share repurchases of CAD648M. We believe the pending PC Financial divestiture in Q3 2026 will simplify operations and provide additional capital flexibility for core retail growth.
