-- 在沙特基础工业公司（SASE:2010，简称SABIC）公布第一季度业绩后，利雅得资本重申了其对该公司的投资理由。 “沙特基础工业公司（SABIC）公布净利润为0.01亿沙特里亚尔，同比和环比均大幅扭亏为盈，与我们较为保守的预期有所偏差。这主要是因为我们计入了EP和ETP分拆业务的剩余公允价值调整，这些调整在2025年底被标记为未完成，但最终并未在本季度确认。然而，在石化业务板块，子公司Kayan单独公布的2026年第一季度数据显示，其成品库存同比增加4.89亿沙特里亚尔，同时毛利率持平（-19.1% vs -18.9%），表明随着季度初丁烷需求的强劲增长势头消退，3月份的需求大幅疲软，这削弱了我们对石化业务复苏可持续性的信心。”该研究公司周一表示，并指出集团整体业绩抵消了其子公司的疲软表现。 与此同时，沙特基础工业公司（SABIC）的销售额同比下降11%至261.5亿沙特里亚尔，低于利雅得资本此前预测的243亿里亚尔。按季度来看，该公司石化和农用营养品部门的收入有所下降，而特种化学品部门则实现了近1%的增长。 该股评级仍为中性，目标价为60里亚尔。

EMEA Oil Update: Energy Crisis Deepens With Further Escalation in Middle East
Crude oil prices eased on Tuesday after surging in the previous session as US and Iranian forces exchanged fire in the Persian Gulf, threatening a month-old ceasefire.Front-month Murban crude futures edged up 0.4% to $107.70 per barrel, while Brent futures dropped 1% to $113.29/bbl.Reports said there was an attack on a US warship and an Iranian drone strike on the UAE's Fujairah oil terminal.Analysts noted that the oil market remains on high alert following news of an attack on a US Navy vessel.The hostilities broke out as the US initiated a mission to extract commercial ships currently trapped within the Persian Gulf.US Central Command reportedly confirmed that two American merchant ships successfully completed their transit through the Strait of Hormuz.However, analysts warned that a subsequent direct fire exchange between US and Iranian forces now endangers the survival of the ceasefire established four weeks ago.The regional fallout intensified as the UAE reported its first defensive interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones since the April 8 ceasefire began.However, one Iranian drone successfully struck an oil terminal at the Port of Fujairah, sparking a major fire at the facility.Record-breaking supply losses of 10 million barrels per day have already depleted global inventories, and experts warn that if the Strait remains obstructed, this crisis could extend through late 2026 and into 2027.
