-- 加拿大丰业银行表示,将于周五发布劳动力调查(LFS),更新4月份的就业市场状况。 该银行指出,劳动力调查是一项家庭调查,类似于美国随非农就业数据一同发布的类似调查。 丰业银行表示,家庭调查的“噪音”因素较高。加拿大就业人数变化的95%置信区间约为5.7万人,作为参考,这相当于美国劳动力市场约50万人。 该银行预计4月份就业人数将保持不变,失业率维持在6.7%不变。失业率的关键在于调查何时开始显示人口和劳动力规模萎缩,这反映了移民人口的减少。 这一点尤其适用于包括国际学生、临时外籍劳工和寻求庇护者在内的临时类别。劳动力调查对临时类别的规模采用12个月的移动平均值,因此其数据滞后于实际人口变化。加拿大丰业银行指出,劳动力调查(LFS)即将反映出人口下降趋势。 加拿大统计局不像美国那样每月修订就业数据。丰业银行补充说,这次的问题有点“特殊”。季节性调整系数预计将低于历史水平,这与近年来4月份的情况类似。然而,未经季节性调整的就业变化幅度要达到足以使就业人数增加为正的程度,门槛非常高。 丰业银行表示,有趣的是,根据加拿大央行的最新估计,经结构性变化调整后的工资增长数据在上个月大幅飙升。这与未调整结构性变化的工资增长数据相比,几乎没有差别。 加拿大的工资仍然处于螺旋式上涨状态,这其中也包括三四年前签订的集体谈判协议到期的影响,这些协议巩固了未来几年工资增长高于加拿大央行 2% 通胀目标的趋势。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Weyerhaeuser Company
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target price at $21, 39.6x our 2027 EPS estimate, a discount to WY's three-year average forward P/E of 59.7x based on the outlook for depressed profitability in 1H 2026. We increase our 2026 adjusted EPS by $0.05 to $0.16 and decrease 2027 by $0.17 to $0.53. We note that lumber pricing momentum is positive, driven by mills shutting down over the past two years, which has created vacant supply while waiting for prices to increase. Management noted that the housing market is stuck in second gear with repair and renovation activity currently lacking a clear catalyst for growth. Export markets remain more challenged that last year due to elevated Japanese inventories and increased export costs due to higher energy prices. We believe WY remains overleveraged with lower profitability impacting cash flow generation this year with stronger lumber price realizations likely to increase supply and reduce potential EPS growth for WY in the long term.
