-- 亞洲開發銀行(亞銀)週五晚間發布報告稱,中東局勢及其導致的油價上漲將抑制2026年亞太地區發展中國家的經濟擴張。 亞銀表示,受海灣衝突和持續的貿易不確定性影響,預計2026年和2027年亞洲發展中國家的經濟成長將放緩至5.1%,低於先前5.4%的預期。 亞洲開發銀行(亞銀)負責對亞洲發展中國家進行經濟預測,並專注於國內生產毛額(GDP)成長和通膨前景。亞銀的預測涵蓋包括中國和印度在內的46個國家以及東協全部10個成員國。 亞銀指出:“能源價格上漲將推高生產成本和消費價格,而出口增長在經歷了去年美國加徵關稅前的提前出口後將趨於正常化。強勁的國內需求——尤其是在南亞和東南亞發展中國家——將繼續支撐經濟增長。” 亞洲開發銀行補充道,預計區域通膨率將從去年的3%上升至2026年的3%和2027年的3.4%。 亞洲開發銀行表示,預計中國2026年和2027年的GDP成長率將從2025年的5%降至4.6%和4.5%,「房地產市場持續疲軟和出口成長放緩預計將對經濟活動構成壓力」。 亞洲開發銀行是一家總部位於馬尼拉的區域性銀行,主要為基礎設施和其他項目提供貸款。該行還補充道:“預計印度今年的經濟增速將從去年的7.6%放緩至6.9%,然後在明年回升至7.3%,這主要得益於國內消費的韌性。”

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.

Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.
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.
