-- モルガン・スタンレーは水曜日の調査レポートで、スターバックス（SBUX）は、マクロ経済環境が変動する中でも、継続的なイノベーションと優れた事業遂行能力に支えられ、4月も売上高の勢いを維持したと述べた。 アナリストらは、同社の第2四半期の堅調な業績は、取引の好調さが要因であり、利益率の向上は中国事業買収における会計処理と一部関連しているものの、北米事業の利益率は引き続き圧迫されていると指摘した。 モルガン・スタンレーは、第3四半期と第4四半期の既存店売上高成長率予想をそれぞれ5.7%と4.7%に引き上げた。第3四半期の1株当たり利益（EPS）は0.63ドル、第4四半期は0.67ドルと予想している。2026年通期のEPS予想は、従来の2.27ドルから2.37ドルに引き上げた。 レポートによると、事業運営、人員配置、イノベーション、マーケティング、資産基盤の改善が、コスト削減策の効果と相乗効果を生み出しているようだ。 同証券会社は、同銘柄に対する「オーバーウェイト」の投資判断を改めて表明し、目標株価を従来の1株当たり105ドルから110ドルに引き上げたと発表した。

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target price by $20 to $440, valuing shares at 29.5x our FY 27 (Sep.)

AI is benefiting Visa more than disrupting it. Value-added services continue their strong momentum, growing 27% in the March quarter, significantly faster than overall revenue growth of 17%. Additionally, cross-border volumes have held steady despite geopolitical tensions in Iran, while payments volume is accelerating. Competitive dynamics are also improving. Revenue growth has outpaced client incentive growth in three of the past four quarters, reversing the previous five years, when client incentives consistently grew faster than revenues. Looking ahead, Visa's positioning as a leader in agentic commerce suggests continued strength, led by rising transaction counts and expanding value-added service adoption.

Brent Approaches $120 Per Barrel as Trump Reportedly Rejects Iranian Proposal

Oil prices rallied Wednesday, with Brent approaching $120 per barrel after US President Donald Trump reportedly rejected an Iranian proposal to lift the naval blockade.Brent crude was last up 7.2% at $119.25 per barrel, having traded as high as $119.45 earlier in the day. West Texas Intermediate rose 7% to $106.91.Trump told Axios on Wednesday he will maintain the US naval blockade of Iranian ports until Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal. Iran wanted the Strait of Hormuz opened before the two sides could sit down to discuss uranium enrichment at a later stage.In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said Iran "better get smart soon."A senior Iranian security source told state media Press TV that the US naval blockade will soon be met with "practical and unprecedented action."The rhetoric comes amid stalled peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran, though their ceasefire agreement appears to be holding. A separate truce deal is in place between Israel and Lebanon.Pakistani mediators expect a revised proposal from Iran by Friday, CNN reported."Crude oil has resumed its war-driven rally, with Brent rising almost non-stop since a brief mid-month tumble to ($86 per barrel), when hopes for a peace deal and a short-lived reopening of the Strait of Hormuz triggered a sharp but temporary correction," Saxo Bank Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen said in a report Wednesday.Besides the Iran war, markets are assessing the implication of the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.The move marks a "major strategic shift (for the UAE), freeing it from production quotas that for years limited its ability to fully utilize expanding capacity," Hansen said.The UAE is set to increase oil production after walking away from oil cartel OPEC, ING Bank said in a report Wednesday."However, before this can be tapped, there must be a resolution in the Persian Gulf that allows for uninhibited energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz once again," ING said. "Therefore, in the short term, this development has little impact on the market. But in the medium to longer term, it means more supply for the market."

Pentair Stock Decline on Potential Inventory Destocking 'Overdone,' RBC Says

Pentair (PNR) shares fell 10% following the company's Q1 earnings report on Tuesday but the sell off, tied to warnings of a potential inventory destocking, was "overdone," RBC Capital Markets said.During the company's earnings call, Pentair disclosed expectations for its Pool channel partners to execute an inventory reduction in Q2 and Q3, which stems from a lowered industry volume forecast, especially for high-end discretionary products, the RBC analysts said. Pentair explained that recent price actions had prompted distributors to stock up, the analysts said.The stock price decline was also driven by H2-weighted guidance and concerns over residential and consumer spending, according to the note.However, Pentair continues its strong execution on productivity initiatives, margin improvement, and new product introductions, fueling a streak of 16 consecutive quarters of margin expansion, the analysts noted. They said that they have not observed any execution issues or missteps.RBC maintained the company's stock rating at outperform and lowered the price target to $101 from $107.Price: $81.36, Change: $-1.50, Percent Change: -1.81%
