-- シンガポールの非石油国内輸出は、ハイテク機器の好調に牽引され、3月に前年同月比15.3%増加したと、シンガポール企業庁(Enterprise Singapore)が金曜日に発表した。 シンガポール企業庁によると、電子機器輸出は「AI関連の強い需要と前年同期の低水準を背景に、IC、PC、ディスクメディア製品を中心に引き続き増加した一方、非電子機器輸出は減少した」。 同政府機関によると、シンガポールからの電子機器輸出は、AI関連の強い需要と前年同期の低水準を背景に、3月に74.0%増加した。 関係者によると、集積回路(チップまたは半導体とも呼ばれる)の輸出は、3月に前年同月比113.8%増加した。 一方、調理済み食品の輸出は、3月に前年同月比42%減少したと関係者は付け加えた。 3月の輸出は、前年同月比で香港、台湾、中国向けが最も増加した一方、インドネシア、EU27カ国、米国、タイ向けは減少した。 地域港湾・ハブとしてのシンガポールは、商品を輸入した後、自由貿易地域などを経由して、実質的に商品に手を加えることなく再輸出することもある。 シンガポールの非石油再輸出は3月に61.4%増加し、2月の21.9%増に続く伸びとなった。この増加は主に電子機器によるものだと、シンガポール企業庁(Enterprise Singapore)は述べている。

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.

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.
