ノース・ウェスト・カンパニーの第4四半期調整後利益は減少

-- ノース・ウェスト・カンパニー(NWC.TO)は、水曜日に発表した第4四半期調整後利益が前年同期比で6%近く上昇したと発表した。 カナダ北部とカリブ海地域で食料品店を運営する同社は、ほとんどの一時的な項目を除いた調整後利益が、前年同期の4,460万ドルから4,350万ドルにわずかに減少したと述べた。1株当たり利益は公表されていない。 第4四半期の売上高は0.1%増の6億7,550万ドルだった。ファクトセットが調査したアナリスト予想は6億5,800万ドルだった。海外事業の売上高増加は、カナダ国内の売上高減少によってほぼ相殺された。 カナダ国内の既存店売上高は、前年同期の6.7%増という非常に好調な伸びから2.8%減となった。ノース・ウェストは、先住民児童・家族支援プログラムからの個人への資金配分の減少がマイナス要因だったと付け加えた。 ノース・ウェスト社はまた、当初2027年3月1日に満期を迎える予定だった4億ドルと5,200万米ドルの融資枠を借り換えたと発表した。既存の貸し手との借り換えにより、これらの融資枠の満期は2031年4月8日に変更された。 同社は4月24日に、4月15日現在の株主名簿に記載されている株主に対し、1株当たり0.41ドルの四半期配当を支払う。 ノース・ウェスト社の株価は、トロント証券取引所で直近の取引で3.03ドル高の55.25ドルとなった。

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.

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.
