-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場將羅傑斯通訊公司（Rogers Communications Inc.，股票代號：RCI-B.TO，RCI）的目標價從61美元上調至63美元。 分析師德魯·麥克雷諾茲（Drew McReynolds）在羅傑斯通信公司週三公佈季度業績後，維持了對這家加拿大媒體和電信公司股票的“跑贏大盤”評級。 該股在多倫多證券交易所上漲6.11美元，漲幅13.5%，收在51.21美元。 麥克雷諾茲在給客戶的報告中表示：“2026年第一季業績符合預期或略高於預期，而2026年自由現金流預期則因資本支出減少而被上調。” 「我們仍然認為，羅傑斯(Rogers)的股權成長將主要得益於自由現金流的增加、鑑於其相對較低的股息支付率（低於自由現金流的30%）而能夠有效償還債務，以及資產負債表去槓桿化的進一步進展——目前已完成70億美元的結構化股權投資，並且明確了實現體育和媒體資產化的進一步進展——目前已完成70億美元的結構化股權投資，並且明確了實現體育和媒體資產的路徑，」分析師表示少數股權。 「我們仍然認為近期的回檔是一個買入良機，並且我們仍然看好該股的價值，尤其是在以下情況下：營運環境進一步改善；任何對體育和媒體資產的重要少數股權交易都將支撐管理層超過200億美元的估值；以及隨著槓桿率接近3倍，資本回報前景更加明朗。」 （報導北美、亞洲和歐洲主要銀行和研究機構的股票、商品和經濟研究。研究機構可透過以下連結聯絡我們：https://www..com/contact-us）

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled
The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. 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.
