傑富瑞表示,Zip公司第三財季的單位經濟效益控制「非常好」。

-- 傑富瑞(Jefferies)在4月17日的一份報告中指出,Zip(ASX:ZIP)第三財季的業績證實,該公司對單位經濟效益擁有“非常好的控制力”,鑑於其非必需消費品客戶群,消費者信心疲軟可能會轉化為其服務使用量的增加。 這家股票研究公司表示,Zip在美國的壞帳可能在第三財季達到總交易額的1.9%的峰值,而其營收利潤率回升至8.4%,考慮到其業務結構向美國轉移,這是一個「穩健的業績」。 報告也指出,該公司在美國的用戶參與度也有所提高,每位客戶的平均消費額年增超過32%,每位顧客的平均交易次數成長約22%,顯示重複使用率正在上升。 傑富瑞表示:“食品雜貨和公用事業是美國經濟成長的重要貢獻者,這些非必需消費品類別受宏觀經濟不利因素的影響較小。” 這家股票研究公司將Zip公司2026財年稅前、折舊及攤銷前現金收益預期上調了5%,但由於匯率不利因素以及澳大利亞和新西蘭的收入利潤率下降,將2027財年的預期下調了11%。 傑富瑞維持對該公司「買入」評級,並將目標價從4.20澳元下調至3.80澳元。 Zip的股價在周一的交易中飆升了近9%。

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.
