チャールズ・シュワブ、顧客資産の増加にもかかわらず第1四半期の売上高見通しを下回る

-- チャールズ・シュワブ(SCHW)の第1四半期決算は、顧客資産の急増を背景に前年同期比で増益となったものの、売上高はウォール街の予想を下回った。 3月期の1株当たり調整後利益は前年同期の1.04ドルから1.43ドルに増加し、ファクトセットが調査した市場予想の1.40ドルを上回った。売上高は16%増の64億8000万ドルとなり、アナリスト予想の65億ドルを上回った。 この金融サービス会社の株価は日中4.8%下落し、年初来では4.5%下落している。 ファクトセットの議事録によると、最高財務責任者(CFO)のマイク・ヴェルデスキ氏は決算説明会で、「年初は顧客の現金残高は典型的な季節的傾向を示した」と述べた。「しかし、四半期後半に市場のボラティリティが高まるにつれ、顧客はやや守りの姿勢に転じた」と付け加えた。 顧客資産は前年同期比19%増の11兆7680億ドルに達し、3月期には新たに130万件の証券口座が開設されました。これにより、アクティブ証券口座数は6%増加し、3910万件となりました。 「お客様は引き続き、金融生活のあらゆる面で当社を頼りにしてくださっており、資産運用および銀行ソリューションは(第1四半期に)過去最高水準に達しました」と、リック・ワースター最高経営責任者(CEO)は声明で述べました。 純新規資産は前年同期の1,324億ドルから1,399億ドルに急増しました。 純金利収入は16%増の31億4,000万ドルとなりました。資産運用・管理手数料は15%増の17億6,000万ドル、トレーディング収入は20%増となりました。 チャールズ・シュワブの1株当たり利益(EPS)は、1月に提示したシナリオに基づく5.70ドルから5.80ドルの範囲を上回っていると、ヴェルデスキCEOはアナリストに語りました。 「第2四半期については、4月の納税に伴う顧客の現金引き出しが例年通り減少すると予想しています。また、過去数年と同様に、この動きは、取引スイープキャッシュだけでなく、マネーマーケットファンドなどの他の流動性の高い現金代替手段にも影響を与えると予想しています」とヴェルデスキCEOは述べました。「季節的な要因に加え、市場の継続的な変動も影響するでしょう。」市場の変動は顧客の資金配分に影響を与える可能性がある。 チャールズ・シュワブは別の声明で、ビットコインとイーサリアムの現物取引に関心のある個人顧客向けに、まもなく「シュワブ・クリプト」の提供を開始すると発表した。同社は将来的には、プラットフォームに他の仮想通貨も追加する予定だ。

Suncorp Group Sees Improved Earnings Stability Under New Reinsurance Structure, Jefferies Says

Suncorp Group (ASX:SUN) will benefit from reduced earnings volatility and improved capital efficiency following its new five-year aggregate reinsurance program, though growth forecasts have been modestly revised lower, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.Jefferies noted that the new reinsurance program, starting June 30, provides AU$800 million in annual catastrophe protection and up to AU$2.4 billion over five years, capping natural hazard costs at budgeted levels in about 90% of scenarios and reducing earnings volatility from extreme weather.The equity research firm said that the company's revised framework raises its fiscal 2027 natural hazard allowance to AU$1.85 billion and ties it to exposure growth following a AU$453 million first-half 2026 overrun, with the impact broadly neutral.The research firm stated that, despite differing economics from its peers, the company's underlying insurance trading ratio outlook remains steady at 10% to 12% at the top end of its range, with reported earnings expected to better reflect underlying performance as catastrophe volatility eases.The research firm slightly revised its forecasts, cutting gross written premium growth to about 3% from 3.8% due to foreign exchange effects in New Zealand and updating investment income and valuation assumptions, with earnings estimates adjusted within a range of negative 3% to 1% over the forecast period.Jefferies maintained a hold rating on Suncorp Group and raised the price target to AU$17.70 from AU$16.50.

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
