加拿大皇家銀行表示,受二疊紀盆地油氣強勁和出口需求前景樂觀提振,中游油氣股上漲。

By

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)策略師週五在一份報告中指出,在油價上漲和銷售強勁增長的支撐下,中游能源公司在經歷了一輪強勁上漲後,即將迎來繁忙的財報週。 RBC表示,截至4月30日當週,Alerian Midstream指數上漲4.3%,跑贏漲幅為1.4%的標普500指數。今年以來,AMZ指數累計上漲19.5%,遠超標普500指數5.3%的漲幅。 儘管該板塊的表現也優於公用事業等防禦性板塊,但RBC指出,仍落後於上游油田服務以及勘探和生產公司。 原油價格上漲為該板塊提供了利好,近月西德克薩斯中質原油期貨價格本週上漲約10%,至每桶105美元左右;美國天然氣基準亨利樞紐價格上漲約6%,至每百萬英熱單位2.77美元。 受原油價格上漲和二疊紀盆地市場動態改善的提振,Targa Resources領漲本週,漲幅達8.4%。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)表示,該地區氣油比的上升(Enterprise Products Partners LP的財報重點提及了這一點)正在提振對加工和外運能力的需求。 該銀行也表示,康菲石油(ConocoPhillips,COP)在特拉華盆地的額外資本支出也強化了市場對新增活動的預期,從而支撐了Targa的成長前景。 儘管估值仍然偏高,但獲利前景清晰,支撐了估值。 RBC估計,中游產業的本益比約為2027年EBITDA的10.2倍,這顯示投資人願意為穩定的現金流和受益於美國油氣出口成長而支付溢價。 同時,RBC表示,近期財報也印證了這一觀點。企業產品合作夥伴公司 (EPD) 的業績超出預期,主要得益於銷量增長和天然氣銷售業務的提升;而 Oneok (OKE) 在第一季業績超預期且銷量前景更為樂觀後,上調了其 2026 年調整後 EBITDA 預期。 加拿大皇家銀行 (RBC) 分析師表示,受中東地區局勢動盪的影響,出口需求可能為包括 Targa 和 Energy Transfer 在內的、業務遍及墨西哥灣沿岸的公司帶來額外的利好因素。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Invesco Ltd.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $2 to $29, valuing IVZ shares at 9.5x our 2027 adjusted EPS estimate of $3.05 and at 10.9x our 2026 EPS estimate of $2.65 (lowered today by $0.05), versus the one-year average forward multiple of 10x and a bifurcated peer average of 16x. Invesco delivered Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.57, missing our $0.62 estimate but near the $0.58 consensus, while posting its 11th consecutive quarter of positive organic growth with $21.8B in net long-term inflows. Investment management fees surged 25.6% Y/Y to $1.38B due to the QQQ conversion benefits and higher average AUM, though service fees declined 18.6% due to QQQ's structural changes. We view the QQQ conversion as materializing as expected, contributing meaningfully to revenue growth while demonstrating IVZ's ability to capture more fee revenue from its flagship product. Currently trading at 9.7x our 2026 EPS estimate and yielding 3.3%, we view the shares as undervalued.

US Oil Update: Futures Slide on Hopes for US-Iran Talks, Hormuz Reopening

Crude oil futures retreated in after-hours trading on Friday after reports that Iran had sent a new peace proposal to the US via Pakistani mediators, easing fears of a further supply disruption from the Middle East and raising hopes for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.Front-month West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped by 2.45% to $102.50 per barrel, while Brent futures were down by 1.21% to $109.06/bbl.On Friday, President Trump sent letters to Congress explaining that, due to the ceasefire, he doesn't need its authorization for military operations in Iran, even though the conflict hit the 60-day mark this week."On April 7, 2026, I ordered a 2-week ceasefire. The ceasefire has since been extended. There has been no exchange of fire between United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026. The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated," Trump said in letters to the House and the Senate.Trump said that despite the success of US operations against Iran and continued efforts to secure peace, the threat posed by Tehran to the US and its forces remains significant.The IRGC Navy command said it will enforce "new rules" over waters near Iran's coast in the Arabian Sea and the Hormuz, making it "a source of security and prosperity for the region."Iran reportedly sent its latest proposal for negotiations with the US to Pakistani mediators on Thursday, according to media reports, as Trump threatens to maintain the blockade of Iranian ports amid behind-the-scenes diplomacy to end the Middle East conflict.The US reportedly sent its list of amendments on Monday to reinsert the nuclear issue into the agreement under discussion, with one of the amendments demanding that Iran commit to not attempting to move any enriched uranium.On Friday, the US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control said it could sanction vessels that pay tolls to Iran for safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz, even if those payments are made in the form of charitable donations to Iranian NGOs.The Department said Iranian demands for toll payments may include fiat currency, digital assets, offsets, informal swaps, or charitable donations made to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Bonyad Mostazafan, or Iranian embassy accounts.Traffic through the Hormuz was cut by half on April 30 to seven crossings from the previous day, with traffic split between four commercial and three non-commercial movements, according to Kpler.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Illumina

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month price target to $161 from $140, 31x our 2026 EPS estimate (up to $5.18 from $5.13; 2027 estimate up to $5.89 from $5.81), a premium to ILMN's one-year historical forward average of 24x. We were encouraged by ex-China organic sales rising ~3.5% Y/Y in Q1, while adjusted operating margin rose 150 bps Y/Y to 21.9%. We look positively on recent Congressional action to modestly increase the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget (~1%) rather than the dramatic cuts initially feared by investors, though ILMN's guidance implies continued pressure in academic end markets in 2026. Excluding China, sequencing consumables within research and applied was down 12% Y/Y in Q1, though clinical consumables sales rose 20% Y/Y. Positively, ILMN placed over 80 NovaSeq X instruments (up 20 Y/Y) during the quarter, indicating strong momentum.
