加拿大皇家銀行表示,在消費者前景謹慎的情況下,以支付為中心的公司業績可能基本達到或超過預期。

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週一在一份電子郵件報告中指出,儘管受戰爭引發的通膨壓力影響,各公司對消費者前景持謹慎態度,但幾家專注於支付和金融科技的關鍵公司即將公佈的業績預計將達到或超過預期。 PayPal (PYPL)、Fiserv (FISV)、Shift4 Payments (FOUR)、Affirm (AFRM)、Block (XYZ)、Corpay (CPAY)、Global Payments (GPN)、Fidelity National Information Services (FIS)、Jack Henry & Associates (JKHY)、Rocket (RKT)、Toast (RKT) 和本週的財務業績公佈。 加拿大皇家銀行分析師丹尼爾·珀林(Daniel Perlin)在致客戶的報告中表示:“我們認為,除Shift4外,支付板塊的業績將符合預期或超出預期。Shift4的業績預計將受到季節性疲軟且受中東市場影響的Global Blue、PayPal和NCR的影響。” “儘管我們預計本季度更高的稅收回報將提振消費趨勢,但鑑於燃油價格上漲和整體通膨環境影響了可自由支配支出,我們預計管理團隊對消費者前景持謹慎態度。” 據該券商稱,高額的經常性收入和強勁的需求環境可能使Jack Henry和Fidelity National免受更廣泛的經濟波動的影響。 「宏觀經濟並非其業績的主要驅動因素,我們預期管理團隊將繼續強化其觀點,即核心業務擁有數據和合規方面的護城河,能夠抵禦(人工智慧)帶來的衝擊,」Perlin表示。 據加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)稱,Visa (V) 最新季度業績顯示,其在美國的支付量有所增長,而萬事達卡(MA)在該市場的購買量也有所增長。 Perlin表示,這表明餐飲和零售業可能“保持穩定”,但跨境和旅遊領域仍需謹慎。 由於受到中東衝突的影響以及低收入消費者的消費減少,PayPal第一季的品牌支付表現可能會面臨壓力。然而,根據這份報告,投資者將關注公司未來的潛在策略方向,而不僅僅是季度業績。 加拿大皇家銀行 (RBC) 預計,由於 Global Payments 與中東航空公司之間存在業務往來以及該地區持續不斷的衝突,該公司在 2026 年上半年將面臨「輕微」的阻力。儘管 Fiserv 與中東的聯繫有限,但通貨膨脹和中小企業業務的挑戰可能會在短期內給該公司帶來壓力。 加拿大皇家銀行表示,儘管燃油成本高企,Affirm 的消費者需求依然強勁。 「Affirm 在中東的潛在業務風險更多是油價上漲擠壓整體消費支出所帶來的連鎖反應,而且由於 Affirm 的目標客戶群體偏向低端消費者,因此可以預見,該群體可能會出現一些潛在的疲軟。” 該券商認為,在消費者壓力下,Block 的 Cash App Borrow 服務可能會獲得強勁的需求。珀林表示:“就第一季而言,季度內交流表明,Cash App 和賣家平台的整體交易量趨勢似乎保持穩定,而其他一些因素將有利於第二季度。” 由於美以與伊朗的戰爭導致經由關鍵的霍爾木茲海峽的運輸受阻,能源價格飆升。華盛頓和德黑蘭近期達成停火協議,衝突暫時中止,但尚未達成永久停火協議。這場戰爭始於二月底。

There was mention of a softer auto sales environment, which created headwinds for trial starts and impacted subscriber acquisition, particularly following last year's tariff-driven pull forward in vehicle sales. Conversion rates for self-pay subscribers saw slight declines, especially as younger car purchasers entered the trial funnel, and used car conversion rates remained lower than new car rates. Subscriber trends are expected to be modestly lower Y/Y, with management cautioning about ongoing pressures and declining to change subscriber guidance for the year due to uncertainties in auto sales and companion subscription take rates.

US Treasury Lifts Q2 Borrowing Estimate

The US Treasury said Monday that it expects to borrow $189 billion in Q2, a larger borrowing estimate than the $109 billion it announced in its previous statement.The reason for the increase in the borrowing estimate was lower projected net cash flows that were partially offset by a higher-than-expected cash balance at the start of the quarter. The Treasury still assumes a $900 billion end-of-quarter balance.Borrowing is seen at $671 billion in Q3, with an estimated cash balance of $950 billion at the end of September.The Treasury borrowed $577 billion in Q1, ending March with an $893 billion cash balance at the end of the quarter. The Treasury had previously expected to borrow $574 billion with an end-of-March cash balance of $850 billion.The slightly higher amount of Q1 borrowing was due to a higher-than-assumed end-of-quarter cash balance that were partially offset by higher net cash flows, the Treasury said.
