加拿大丰业银行表示,加拿大对美出口份额正逐渐下降。

-- 加拿大丰业银行表示,加拿大对美国的出口份额正逐步下降,预计2024年平均为76%,去年为72%,到2026年2月将降至66%。 该行在上周发布的一份报告中指出,这一趋势主要受对美国出口下降和对其他地区(主要是欧洲)出口增长的影响。 2月份,加拿大对美国的出口环比增长4.4%,但与2024年同期相比下降10.4%。1月份表现疲软后,对其他国家的出口增长10.5%,与2024年同期相比增长42.4%,但这主要是由于黄金出口量增加所致。进口方面,2月份加拿大从美国的进口份额略有下降,从2024年的62%降至59%。 加拿大继续受益于其出口总额相对较低的有效关税税率。根据加拿大丰业银行基于关税实施前贸易流量的最新估计,自2024年底以来,加美贸易关税增幅为3.1%,这主要得益于《美墨加协定》(CUSMA)下加拿大与美国的大部分贸易继续保持免税状态。这一增幅低于2月份的4.5%,原因是美国根据《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)对特定国家征收的关税被10%的全球统一关税所取代。 据报道,美国从加拿大进口商品实际缴纳的平均关税连续第三个月略高于3%,低于六个月前的近4%。鉴于2月底的关税调整,3月份这一数字可能会进一步下降。该银行指出,目前加美进口商品中面临关税的比例已稳定在10%左右。 美国的贸易逆差已回落至接近关税实施前的水平。受关税影响,美国贸易在2025年初出现显著波动,之后趋于稳定。 2月份,美国出口增长4.2%,进口增长4.3%,导致贸易逆差扩大至570亿美元,低于2024年约700亿美元的预期。 美国进口关税持续推高该国的通胀压力,最新数据显示,关税对美国消费者价格指数的累计影响接近1个百分点,加之近期油价上涨,令美国降息前景蒙上阴影。 加拿大丰业银行指出,关税和不确定性依然居高不下且瞬息万变。尽管以10%的临时全球关税取代美国《国际紧急经济权力法》(IEEPA)关税对加拿大有利,但加拿大绝大多数贸易都符合规定,因此不受这些关税的影响。行业关税对加拿大的影响最大,且未受近期政策变化的影响。

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.
