-- 利雅德資本(Riyad Capital)週日更新了對阿德斯控股(Ades Holding,SASE:2382)的評級,指出這家油氣鑽探公司2025年的業績報告“強勁”,且其地域多元化戰略正在持續推進。 阿德斯控股公佈的2025年第四季銷售額年增27%,達到19.9億沙特里亞爾,與該研究機構先前預測的19.3億沙特里亞爾基本一致。該公司淨利潤為2.21億裡亞爾,年增7%,與利雅德資本先前預測的2.1億裡亞爾相符。 分析師注意到管理階層表示,隨著公司不斷擴大其地理版圖,產能利用率保持穩定,維持在98%。該研究機構認為,在當前市場環境下,這項多元化策略「至關重要」。 「我們提醒投資者,收購Shelf使ADES的鑽井平台數量增加了33台,並擴大了其在西非、挪威、丹麥、英國和印度(以及其他地區)的業務佈局。這些因素將對2026年第一季的財務業績產生一定影響。隨著業務佈局的擴展,尤其是在東南亞、西非和巴西,我們強調,在當前充滿不確定性的能源市場中,這增強了ADES的防禦能力。 儘管其[公司過去12個月的自由現金流]倍數較低,且股息較高,但由於股價上漲,我們下調了評級。 因此,該股的評級被調整為“中性”,目標價為21裡亞爾。在2025年11月10日的一份報告中,利雅德資本曾給予該公司「買入」評級。

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says
Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.
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.
