ハリバートンの第1四半期決算は、力強い海外事業の成長により予想を上回ったとモルガン・スタンレーが発表

By

-- ハリバートン(HAL)の第1四半期決算は、特にラテンアメリカにおける国際事業の好調に牽引され、市場予想をわずかに上回った一方、中東における混乱が収益を圧迫した、とモルガン・スタンレーは水曜日のレポートで述べた。 同社によると、売上高とEBITDA(金利・税金・減価償却費控除前利益)は市場予想をわずかに上回った。好調の主な要因は、中東を除く国際事業の好調な業績であり、ラテンアメリカの売上高は市場予想を7%、モルガン・スタンレーの予想を13%上回った。北米の売上高もわずかに増加し、市場予想を2%、モルガン・スタンレーの予想を4%上回った。 経営陣は、中東における混乱により第1四半期の1株当たり利益が約0.02ドルから0.03ドル減少したと述べ、第2四半期には1株当たり0.07ドルから0.09ドルのより大きな影響が見込まれるとしている。一方、北米では回復の「明確な兆候」が見られる、とモルガン・スタンレーは付け加えた。 「中東情勢は依然として主要な変動要因であり、短期的な混乱が業績に重くのしかかっているものの、これはより建設的な複数年にわたるサービス需要の見通しを裏付けるものであり、ハリバートンが指摘したベネズエラも長期的な成長の原動力となる可能性を秘めている」とモルガン・スタンレーは述べた。 モルガン・スタンレーはハリバートンの目標株価を40ドルから42ドルに引き上げ、投資判断は「オーバーウェイト」を維持した。同社の株価は同日、3%以上上昇した。

Asia Biofuels Update: Malaysian Palm Oil Diverges from Crude Oil on Weaker Exports, Stronger Ringgit

Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Monday, pulling away from crude oil prices, as weaker exports and a stronger local currency weighed on sentiment.Reversing the previous session's gains, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' May crude palm oil contract fell 0.66% to 4,487 Malaysian ringgit ($1,134.94) per metric ton. The June contract dropped by 0.96% to 4,521 ringgit/mt in midday trade.Malaysian shipments for the April 1-25 period reportedly declined 15.7% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.A stronger Malaysian ringgit, which rose against the US dollar by 0.28% on Monday, could further pressure exports as it makes them costlier.The recent drop in Malaysian shipments followed a 29.1% year-over-year rise in Q1 exports, as buyers advanced purchases due to the expected surge in shipping costs and as volumes of rival Indonesian cargoes softened due to higher export levies.Indonesia's move to raise its palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from 40% beginning July 1 could further lift Malaysian exports going forward.The Malaysia Palm Oil Council said Indonesia's B50 program could absorb an additional 3 million metric tons per year of palm oil. Annual domestic consumption in Thailand could also increase by 350,000 metric tons as the country moves to B7 from B5, while demand in Malaysia could rise by 300,000 mt as the government raises its biodiesel blend to B15 from B10.Rising biofuel demand, elevated crude oil prices, and supply risks from the potential development of an El Nino weather trend will support palm oil prices, with the MPOC projecting them at around 4,500 ringgit/mt in the near term."However, further gains are likely to be capped by softer export demand amid inflation and weaker economic growth in key importing countries, alongside rising stocks as palm oil production gradually enters its seasonal peak," the MPOC said.According to Jim Teh, senior palm oil trader at Interband Group of Co., as cited by Bernama, palm oil prices could trade between 4,200 ringgit/mt and 4,300 ringgit/mt this week due to profit taking.
