シェリット社、米国による制裁拡大を受けキューバとの合弁事業への直接関与を一時停止。アルバータ州での事業は現時点では影響を受けていない。

By

-- シェリット・インターナショナル(S.TO)は、米国がキューバに対する制裁措置を拡大したことを受け、キューバにおける合弁事業への直接参加を即時停止したと、木曜日に発表した。 この事態を受け、ブライアン・イムリー、リチャード・モート、ブレット・リチャーズの3名がシェリットの取締役を辞任した。 シェリットは、キューバに駐在する従業員の帰国に向けた措置を講じているほか、カナダに駐在するパートナー企業にも駐在員の帰国を要請したと述べた。 シェリットは、今回の米国によるキューバ制裁措置の正式な指定企業ではないものの、今後指定される可能性があると見込んでいる。「いずれにせよ、大統領令の発令自体が、シェリットのキューバにおける合弁事業を含む、通常の事業運営能力を著しく損なう状況を生み出す」とシェリットは述べている。 「大統領令、および大統領令に基づくあらゆる指定により、金融機関その他のサービス提供者が、シェリット社の事業運営やその他の事業活動への支援を継続できなくなる、あるいは支援を拒否する事態が生じる可能性もある」と、同社は付け加えた。 一方、シェリット社は、現時点ではアルバータ州フォートサスカチュワンの事業運営に差し迫った影響はないと述べた。同精錬所は引き続きニッケルとコバルトの完成品を生産し、販売している。生産に必要な原料の在庫は、6月中旬頃まで持つ見込みだという。

Research Alert: Grainger Q1 Earnings Jump As Margin Recovery Takes Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:GWW delivered strong Q1 results with EPS of $11.65, up 18.2% Y/Y, significantly beating consensus expectations of $10.21. Sales reached $4.7B with 12.2% organic growth, supported by robust underlying demand across both business segments. The standout metric was 110-bp operating margin expansion to 16.7%, which we view as an inflection point from margin pressures that were a factor for much of 2025, driven by aggressive pricing actions to offset tariff-related cost inflation. Management raised full-year 2026 EPS guidance to $44.25-$46.25 from the previous $42.25-$44.75 range following the uptick in business conditions. Margin recovery was broad-based with High-Touch Solutions North America expanding 20 bps to 42.6% and Endless Assortment growing 40 bps while achieving strong 21.9% sales growth from MonotaRO and Zoro performance. Strong cash generation of $739M supported $345M in shareholder returns and a 10% dividend increase.
