フィッチは、アジア太平洋地域の農薬メーカーは中東戦争リスクに対する緩衝材を保有していると指摘した。

By

-- フィッチ・レーティングスは最近の発表で、アジア太平洋地域の農薬メーカーは中東紛争による輸送費、燃料費、投入コストの上昇を緩和する能力があり、短期的な格付けへの圧力は回避できると述べた。 フィッチによると、ニューファーム(ASX:NUF)、UPL(NSE:UPL、BOM:512070)、シンジェンタ・グループは、同地域からの直接的な脆弱性が限定的であり、調達先が多様化していること、そして十分な在庫が、収益への初期的な影響に対する緩衝材となっている。 フィッチは、特に事業運営の柔軟性と地理的な分散化を考慮すると、サプライチェーンの混乱が短期的に発行体の信用力にそれほど大きな影響を与えないと予想している。 発行体の信用力は事業構成からも支えられるが、製品によってその影響は異なり、作付け計画において重要な役割を担う種子は最も安定している一方、農家のコストに占める割合が増加している肥料はリスクにさらされやすい。 フィッチによると、農薬の需要は食料需要ほど弾力性がないため、農薬の影響は他の2つの製品の中間に位置するという。 格付け機関は、コスト転嫁が段階的かつ当初は不完全であるため、短期的な収益性は依然として低迷すると見ている。

Global Power Solutions Signs Non-Binding LOI to Evaluate Development of Modular Hydrogen-Powered Energy Project

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved. "The feasibility process will allow both parties to assess technical configuration, commercial structure, and regulatory considerations before determining whether to proceed toward definitive agreements."The company may establish project-level special purpose entities (SPEs) for the development, ownership, financing, and operation of any project facilities. 2782404 is expected to provide site access information, operational requirements, and anticipated power demand profiles to support the feasibility assessment, while Global is expected to lead the technical evaluation and project development planning.The parties also anticipate that the feasibility process will include engineering studies, site suitability assessments, preliminary financial modeling, and evaluation of hydrogen production, storage, and power generation configurations. If the project proceeds beyond feasibility, the parties, it added, may negotiate a long-term power purchase agreement under which electricity generated by the project could potentially be supplied to 2782404 under a defined commercial framework.Shares of the company closed up 10% to $0.32 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
