マレーシアの3月の貿易総額は輸出入の増加により9.3%増加

-- マレーシア統計局は月曜日、3月のマレーシアのモノの貿易総額が前年同月比9.3%増の約2,730億リンギットに達したと発表した。輸出と輸入の両方が同月に増加したためだ。 輸出は前年同月比8.3%増の1,488億リンギットとなった。同局によると、再輸出と国内輸出が同月の輸出を押し上げた。 しかし、ダウ・ジョーンズ通信は同日、米国とイランの対立が世界的なサプライチェーンの混乱を引き起こし、マレーシアの輸出に悪影響を与える可能性があると報じた。 同局によると、輸入は10.4%増の1,242億リンギットとなった。 ダウ・ジョーンズ通信によると、ウォール街の調査では輸出が14%、輸入が13.9%増加すると予想されていた。 その結果、貿易黒字は246億リンギットとなり、前年同月比で2億1,550万リンギット減少した。 ウォール街のアナリスト調査によると、貿易黒字は259億リンギットに達すると予測されている。 製造品輸出は輸出総額の88%を占め、前年同期比9.6%増の1308億リンギットとなった。

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.
