-- 中游服務公司Enterprise Product Partners (EPD)週二公佈的第一季財報顯示，天然氣進口處理量創歷史新高，主要得益於二疊紀盆地工廠進口流量增加9%，達到每日83億立方英尺。 該公司表示，海運碼頭吞吐量也創下歷史新高，成長15%至每日230萬桶，天然氣凝析液產量增加16%至每日190萬桶。 該公司表示，2026年開局強勁，處理量打破了12項營運紀錄，這得益於過去一年新資產的投產，例如巴伊亞天然氣凝析液管道、14號天然氣凝析液分餾裝置以及三座二疊紀盆地天然氣加工廠。 Enterprise Product Partners在本季投產了Mentone West 2天然氣加工廠，並宣布計劃在米德蘭盆地和特拉華盆地建造兩座日處理能力為3億立方英尺的天然氣加工廠。該公司表示，這兩個項目將使天然氣處理能力提高12%。 該公司稱，本季資本投資總額為9.88億美元，其中7.83億美元用於成長資本項目，2.05億美元用於維持性資本支出。 該公司表示，預計2026年成長資本支出將在23億美元至26億美元之間，扣除資產出售所得的5.96億美元後，淨額將達23億美元至26億美元。

Kimberly-Clark First-Quarter Results Top Views; Full-Year Outlook Affirmed
Kimberly-Clark (KMB) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results and maintained its full-year outlook Tuesday, while the consumer goods maker flagged potential incremental input cost headwinds of up to $170 million in the second half due to elevated oil prices.The Kleenex tissues maker's adjusted earnings attributable to the company rose to $1.97 a share for the March quarter from $1.93 a year earlier, which was the consensus on FactSet. Net sales improved 2.7% to $4.16 billion, topping the Street's view for $4.09 billion.The company's shares were up 1.1% in Tuesday afternoon trade. So far this year, the stock has lost 1.6% in value.Kimberly-Clark said it continues to expect full-year adjusted EPS from continuing operations to grow at a double-digit rate, while adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark are still seen flat, both on a constant-currency basis.The company also continues to expect 2026 organic sales to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest 12 months grew at roughly 2.5%, it said.Kimberly-Clark could face gross incremental input cost headwinds of between $150 million and $170 million in the second half of the year, if oil prices stay at the $100 a barrel level, Chief Financial Officer Nelson Urdaneta said in prepared remarks on the company's website.Energy prices have soared following the US-Israel war with Iran that started at the end of February, with the Strait of Hormuz -- the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows -- effectively closed. The conflict paused following a recent ceasefire between the US and Iran and later between Israel and Lebanon.Kimberly-Clark's first-quarter international personal care business revenue climbed 9.1% to $1.51 billion, buoyed by organic sales growth of 4% and favorable currency impacts. Sales in North America fell 0.6% to $2.65 billion, driven by a 2.7% headwind from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth of 1.8%."We continued to deliver solid volume-plus-mix performance while building share momentum despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty," Chief Executive Mike Hsu said in a statement. "We continue to generate meaningful cost savings that reinforce our strong financial foundation and enable us to invest in our exciting future."For the second quarter, Kimberly-Clark expects to incur a $50 million headwind related to a recent fire at its Ontario, California, distribution center, "as well as some incremental costs due to the conflict in the Middle East," Urdaneta said. "We expect to fully mitigate these costs in the second half of the year with the many levers available within our integrated margin management capabilities."Price: $99.40, Change: $+1.15, Percent Change: +1.17%
