-- 傑富瑞在4月24日的一份報告中指出,福特斯克(ASX:FMG)季度業績疲軟,同時鐵橋計畫持續面臨挑戰,且在非核心綠色能源項目上的支出增加,引發了人們對其回報和估值的擔憂。 受季節性和天氣因素影響,該公司本季業績下滑。儘管皮爾巴拉赤鐵礦業務表現穩健,但鐵橋磁鐵礦項目持續低迷,抵消了部分業績。鐵橋磁鐵礦計畫持續面臨產能和利潤率方面的挑戰,其估值可能難以支撐。 傑富瑞指出,該公司斥資6.8億美元用於為工業用戶和資料中心等第三方客戶建立綠色能源產能,這代表著一項策略轉變,但傑富瑞認為這是非核心資本配置,在回報明朗之前,其礦業業務可能需要更高的折現率。 這家股票研究公司表示,該公司位於皮爾巴拉的礦區港口吞吐能力已接近極限,這是一個“好消息”,因為隨著公司重新評估其產品組合、削減鐵橋礦產量並維持整體出貨量預期基本不變,利潤更高的赤鐵礦生產可能會取代成本更高的鐵礦產量。 該研究公司補充道,儘管支付了股息並進行了資本支出,但該公司財務狀況依然穩健,擁有42億美元的現金儲備,預計長期來看將恢復淨現金狀態。但該公司也強調了鐵橋礦的不確定性以及綠色能源支出增加等風險,包括潛在的資產減值,因此其前景持謹慎態度。 傑富瑞維持對福特斯克的「弱於大盤」評級,並將目標價從17.50澳元下調至16.50澳元。

Asia Biofuels Update: Malaysian Palm Oil Diverges from Crude Oil on Weaker Exports, Stronger Ringgit
Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Monday, pulling away from crude oil prices, as weaker exports and a stronger local currency weighed on sentiment.Reversing the previous session's gains, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' May crude palm oil contract fell 0.66% to 4,487 Malaysian ringgit ($1,134.94) per metric ton. The June contract dropped by 0.96% to 4,521 ringgit/mt in midday trade.Malaysian shipments for the April 1-25 period reportedly declined 15.7% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.A stronger Malaysian ringgit, which rose against the US dollar by 0.28% on Monday, could further pressure exports as it makes them costlier.The recent drop in Malaysian shipments followed a 29.1% year-over-year rise in Q1 exports, as buyers advanced purchases due to the expected surge in shipping costs and as volumes of rival Indonesian cargoes softened due to higher export levies.Indonesia's move to raise its palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from 40% beginning July 1 could further lift Malaysian exports going forward.The Malaysia Palm Oil Council said Indonesia's B50 program could absorb an additional 3 million metric tons per year of palm oil. Annual domestic consumption in Thailand could also increase by 350,000 metric tons as the country moves to B7 from B5, while demand in Malaysia could rise by 300,000 mt as the government raises its biodiesel blend to B15 from B10.Rising biofuel demand, elevated crude oil prices, and supply risks from the potential development of an El Nino weather trend will support palm oil prices, with the MPOC projecting them at around 4,500 ringgit/mt in the near term."However, further gains are likely to be capped by softer export demand amid inflation and weaker economic growth in key importing countries, alongside rising stocks as palm oil production gradually enters its seasonal peak," the MPOC said.According to Jim Teh, senior palm oil trader at Interband Group of Co., as cited by Bernama, palm oil prices could trade between 4,200 ringgit/mt and 4,300 ringgit/mt this week due to profit taking.
