ロッキード・マーティンの第1四半期決算は市場予想を下回り、株価は下落した。

-- ロッキード・マーティン(LMT)の第1四半期決算は、予想以上に減益となり、売上高も市場予想を下回ったため、同社の株価は木曜日に下落した。 3月期の1株当たり利益は6.44ドルとなり、前年同期の7.28ドルから減少した。これは、ファクトセットが調査した市場予想の6.73ドルを下回る結果となった。売上高は180億2000万ドルとなり、前年同期の179億6000万ドルから増加したが、ウォール街の予想である182億2000万ドルには届かなかった。 ファクトセットの議事録によると、エバン・スコット最高財務責任者(CFO)は木曜日の決算説明会で、最終利益の減少は利益の減少と市場の大幅な落ち込みによるものであり、売上高は前年同期比で会計期間が短縮されたことが影響したと述べた。 スコットCFOは、「2026年第1四半期の業績は、F-16とC-130に関連する航空部門の業績調整の不利な影響も反映している」と述べ、「設計・開発の遅延が一時的にF-16に影響を与えた」と付け加えた。 ロッキード・マーティンの株価は午後の取引で5.4%下落し、年初来の上昇率は8.7%となった。 第1四半期の売上高は、回転翼機およびミッションシステム事業が前期の43億3000万ドルから約39億9000万ドルに減少した一方、航空宇宙部門は1%減となった。ミサイル・火器管制事業の売上高は8%増、宇宙事業は7%増となった。 同社は2026年の1株当たり利益(EPS)を29.35ドルから30.25ドル、売上高を775億ドルから800億ドルの範囲と引き続き予想している。市場予想はEPSが29.92ドル、売上高が792億2000万ドルとなっている。 スコットCEOはアナリストに対し、「第2四半期以降、年内を通して売上高は増加すると予想しており、通期の成長見通しを支えるものとなるだろう」と述べた。 ロッキード・マーティンのジム・タイクレット最高経営責任者(CEO)は電話会議で、同社がペルー空軍と12機のF-16ブロック70戦闘機に関する15億ドルの契約を締結し、さらに12機からなる「第2飛行隊」の追加発注の可能性もあると述べた。 今週初めには、航空宇宙・防衛企業のRTX(RTX)とノースロップ・グラマン(NOC)が、第1四半期の業績が予想を上回ったと発表した。

Suncorp Group Sees Improved Earnings Stability Under New Reinsurance Structure, Jefferies Says

Suncorp Group (ASX:SUN) will benefit from reduced earnings volatility and improved capital efficiency following its new five-year aggregate reinsurance program, though growth forecasts have been modestly revised lower, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.Jefferies noted that the new reinsurance program, starting June 30, provides AU$800 million in annual catastrophe protection and up to AU$2.4 billion over five years, capping natural hazard costs at budgeted levels in about 90% of scenarios and reducing earnings volatility from extreme weather.The equity research firm said that the company's revised framework raises its fiscal 2027 natural hazard allowance to AU$1.85 billion and ties it to exposure growth following a AU$453 million first-half 2026 overrun, with the impact broadly neutral.The research firm stated that, despite differing economics from its peers, the company's underlying insurance trading ratio outlook remains steady at 10% to 12% at the top end of its range, with reported earnings expected to better reflect underlying performance as catastrophe volatility eases.The research firm slightly revised its forecasts, cutting gross written premium growth to about 3% from 3.8% due to foreign exchange effects in New Zealand and updating investment income and valuation assumptions, with earnings estimates adjusted within a range of negative 3% to 1% over the forecast period.Jefferies maintained a hold rating on Suncorp Group and raised the price target to AU$17.70 from AU$16.50.

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
