加拿大皇家銀行稱,伊頓資料中心訂單激增,下半年成長前景走強。

By

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)表示,伊頓(ETN)在資料中心、公用事業和電氣化領域表現良好,強勁的訂單動能和積壓訂單成長將支撐其下半年有機銷售、營運槓桿和利潤率的預期提升。 資料中心需求表現突出,訂單年增240%,各業務區的積壓訂單也強勁成長。該券商在周二的報告中指出,美洲電氣業務的積壓訂單增加了44%,全球電氣業務的積壓訂單增加了73%,訂單儲備增加了81%。 第一季美洲電氣業務利潤率大幅下降,主要歸因於產能擴張以及4月1日價格上漲前鋼鐵、銅、鋁和白銀等大宗商品價格的上漲。不過,RBC表示,博伊德熱能公司(Boyd Thermal)的收購預計將帶來超過先前預期的17億美元全年銷售額,這可能帶來額外的成長空間。 該機構將利潤率壓力描述為與積壓訂單加速成長和產能擴張相關的「高品質問題」。 根據報告,該公司計劃在2027年第一季末分拆其車輛和電動出行業務部門,預計將進一步調整伊頓的業務結構,使其更加專注於成長潛力更高的資料中心和航空航太領域。 加拿大皇家銀行重申了對該股的「跑贏大盤」評級,並將目標股價從每股457美元上調至484美元。

New Home Listings Growth Outpaces Sales For First Time in 2026, Zillow Says

New for-sale home listings in the US grew at a faster rate annually than sales for the first time this year as elevated mortgage rates stalled recovery, Zillow Group (Z, ZG) said Wednesday.New listings rose 2.1% year over year to 426,356 units in April, while sales eased 0.4% to 323,631 units, according to the real estate marketplace. Active inventory increased 3.7% last month, putting the total number of for-sale homes at 1.3 million."The spring rebound we anticipated at the start of the year and that produced the stronger sales figures in March was put on pause in April by higher rates," Zillow Chief Economist Mischa Fisher said. "Still, someone who held off in 2025 hoping conditions would improve has seen that improvement."Last week, the average interest rate for 30-year fixed mortgages with conforming loan balances of $832,750 or less increased to 6.45% from 6.37% sequentially, a report by the Mortgage Bankers Association showed Wednesday.The monthly mortgage payment on a typical home in the US dropped 3.4% annually to $1,829 last month, while home values rose 0.7% to $366,712, Zillow said.The share of listings with a price reduction was 23.5% in April, down one percentage point from a year earlier, but up 0.9 percentage point sequentially.Despite the recent rise in mortgage rates, buyers who waited out the market of 2025 are entering on slightly better terms this spring, with more options, improved affordability and a little more decision time, according to Zillow."With more homes to choose from and lower monthly costs than a year ago, the math has shifted in favor of buyers even if the moment may not feel like it," Fisher said. "There's still plenty of reason for optimism that we will see a quick rebound if rates cooperate."On Tuesday, government data showed that new-home sales in the US grew past Wall Street's estimates for March, driven by a demand surge in the Northeast region.Price: $44.82, Change: $+1.28, Percent Change: +2.94%
