-- 儘管淨庫存增幅低於預期,且近日美國大部分地區氣溫低於正常水平,但由於需求指標存在矛盾,美國天然氣市場本周小幅走低。 6月近月合約價格本週跌至每百萬英熱單位2.75美元,低於4月24日的2.79美元/百萬英熱單位。 然而,根據美國能源資訊署(EIA)週四發布的每週天然氣庫存補充數據,6月近月合約價格本週上漲0.08美元,至每百萬英熱單位2.730美元,高於5月1日的2.647美元/百萬英熱單位。 EIA數據顯示,截至5月6日當週,天然氣現貨價格上漲0.15美元/百萬英熱單位,至每百萬英熱單位2.75美元,高於前一周的2.60美元/百萬英熱單位。 需求方面,全國氣溫低於正常水平,導致暖氣和冷氣需求下降。根據倫敦證券交易所集團(LSEG)數據顯示,受電力業天然氣消耗量下降12億立方英尺/日的影響,美國天然氣總需求量下降了7億立方英尺/日。 此外,據美國能源資訊署(EIA)引述LSEG數據稱,過去一周液化天然氣(LNG)原料氣平均供應量為174億立方英尺/日,較前一周下降7%。同時,多個主要終端正在進行計畫維護。 據EIA數據顯示,除瓦哈(Waha)外,大多數區域樞紐的天然氣價格均上漲。瓦哈的價格在過去一周下跌了1.07美元/百萬英熱單位(MMBtu)。 根據EIA數據顯示,截至5月1日當週,天然氣淨流入量為630億立方英尺,低於前一周的790億立方英尺,使天然氣總庫存量達到22,050億立方英尺。根據 Investing.com 彙編的數據顯示,本週的天然氣淨流入量為 720 億立方英尺(Bcf),低於預期,引發市場反彈。 去年同期,美國能源資訊署(EIA)報告天然氣淨流入量為 1,040 億立方英尺,而過去五年同期平均為 770 億立方英尺。 目前天然氣總庫存為 2,2,050 億立方英尺,比去年同期高出 750 億立方英尺,增幅為 4%;比過去五年同期平均高出 1,390 億立方英尺,增幅為 7%。 截至 5 月 1 日當週,幾乎所有地區都報告了天然氣淨流入量,其中東部地區的流入量最大,比前一周增加了 290 億立方英尺,總庫存量達到 3610 億立方英尺,僅比過去五年同期平均水平低 10 億立方英尺,降幅為 0.3%。 美國能源資訊署 (EIA) 報告稱,太平洋地區、山區和中南部非鹽湖地區的天然氣庫存水位均高於各自的五年平均水平,而其他地區仍處於缺口狀態。 據 Pinebrooke Energy Advisors 稱,根據人口加權氣溫以及 2024 年和 2025 年的周變化,本週的庫存報告顯示,庫存增幅為 4 月初以來的「最緊張」時期。 此外,根據貝克休斯 (BKR) 週五發布的數據,截至 5 月 8 日當週,美國天然氣鑽井平台數量從前一周的 130 座減少至 129 座。相比之下,一年前同期營運的天然氣鑽井平台數量為 108 座。 北美油氣鑽井平台總數(未來產量水準的關鍵早期指標)較前一週增加兩座,從前一週的 670 座增至 672 座。 天氣預報曾指出5月初和5月中旬氣溫將低於正常水平,但據美國國家氣象局稱,預計5月15日至21日期間,全國幾乎全境氣溫將高於正常水平,這可能會增加製冷需求。 本週共有30艘液化天然氣運輸船離開美國港口,比上週的35艘減少了5艘,總運力為1150億立方英尺,比前一周減少了180億立方英尺。 國際市場上,截至5月6日當週,歐洲TTF天然氣平均價格為每百萬英熱單位15.85美元,比前一周上漲0.44美元。 日韓市場天然氣平均價格為每百萬英熱單位16.90美元,比前一周上漲約0.31美元。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Rating On Shares Of Paycom Software, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target by $19 to $150, 12.3x our 2027 EPS estimate, significantly below PAYC's three-year historical forward P/E average of 24.9x. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.53 to $10.73 and 2027's EPS view by $0.95 to $12.23. PAYC conservative 2026 guidance, which projects a revenue growth slowdown to 6%-7%, is a primary concern as it contrasts sharply with the company's current performance. This strength is evidenced by an expanding 48.2% adjusted EBITDA margin, robust 17% Y/Y growth in operating cash flow, and high 91% client retention, all fueled by the demonstrable ROI its AI-powered platform delivers to clients. Underscoring this internal confidence, management executed a massive $1.06B share repurchase in Q1, taking on $675M in debt to capitalize on what it views as a significant undervaluation. This aggressive, debt-funded capital return increases financial leverage but signals a profound belief in the company's long-term value proposition, despite the cautious near-term growth outlook.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our target by $2 to $23 on a forward P/FFO of 10.9x our 2026 FFO estimate, a premium to peers and HST's three-year forward average (8.9x) due to a stronger 2026 travel outlook and recently redeveloped properties driving higher revenue per average room (RevPAR) this year. We increase our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.05 to $2.11 and leave our 2027 view unchanged at $2.15. San Francisco showed remarkable recovery boosted by the Super Bowl and accelerating business travel as resorts in Florida/Phoenix saw stronger-than-normal Q1 performance. Weather-related disruptions in Hawaii and the East Coast negative impacted RevPAR by 120 bps in Q1, while the outlook for growth in 2H 2026 implies growth slowing to 1%-2% range. Productivity improvements have helped to offset some of the 5% Y/Y growth in wages, but this cost inflation is a risk we continue to monitor. We do not currently expect any acquisitions, with management setting a high IRR bar and favoring buybacks and special dividends currently.
Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Hold Opinion On Shares Of Fortis Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target is unchanged at CAD80, valuing shares at a forward P/E of 21.5x our next-12-month EPS estimate of CAD3.72, a premium to its five-year average of 19.3x. We keep our 2026 EPS estimate at CAD3.62 and raise our 2027 EPS estimate by CAD0.03 to CAD3.88. Q1 results showed continued progress on load growth opportunities, with ITC advancing data center interconnection projects and TEP securing initial contractual milestones in Arizona while pursuing additional phases. We expect revenue to grow 7.8% in 2026, followed by 5.6% growth in 2027, supported by customer rate updates at Central Hudson (effective July 2025), FortisBC Energy (effective January 2026), UNS Gas (effective March 2026), and a pending decision at TEP (expected fall 2026), alongside ongoing rate base growth. From 2025-2028, we expect EPS to grow at a 5.3% CAGR while dividends grow at 4.6%, both lagging the peer median growth rates of 7.9% and 5.2%, respectively. Shares currently yield 3.3%, slightly ahead of the peer median 3.2%.
