-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週二表示,在「穩健」的消費趨勢推動下,好時(Hershey,股票代碼:HSY)預計將公佈強勁的第一季度業績,同時這家巧克力製造商可能會維持其2026年的業績展望。 該券商在一份致顧客的報告中指出,掃描數據顯示,受糖果和鹹味零食銷量強勁增長的推動,好時第一季整體消費「穩健」。好時將於週四公佈第一季業績。 加拿大皇家銀行全球消費和零售研究聯席主管尼克·莫迪(Nik Modi)表示:“由於復活節提前,3月最後一周的糖果銷量數據強勁增長(超過10%的百分比)。這種增長水平表明,好時將能夠超過營收增長預期。” 加拿大皇家銀行預計好時第一季每股收益為2.08美元,營收為30.3億美元。報告顯示,華爾街先前的預期分別為20.5億美元和30.3億美元。莫迪表示,儘管預計這三個月將是“營收成長最強勁的一個季度”,但高昂的庫存成本預計將對利潤率構成壓力。 鑑於好時公司財年才剛過去一個季度,且近期維持了全年業績展望,該券商預計好時將重申其全年業績展望。莫迪寫道:“話雖如此,考慮到好時今年為自己設定的高目標,我們認為風險回報比更中性。” 上月底,好時表示,仍預估全年調整後每股收益成長30%至35%,淨銷售額將成長4%至5%。 加拿大皇家銀行表示,管理階層在投資者日上語氣積極,其長期展望顯示公司對2027年之前的每股盈餘有清晰的預期。 “話雖如此,好時的策略能否扭轉持續的銷量下滑和市場份額損失,還有待觀察。” 該券商對好時股票的評級為“與行業持平”,目標價為 212 美元。

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:EQR delivered Q1 2026 FFO of $0.99, beating consensus by $0.02, though rental revenue of $780M slightly missed expectations. The company's blended lease rate of 1.5% remained flat Y/Y, with new lease rates declining 2.8% due to incentives offset by strong renewal rates of 4.7%.

Management guides for 2026 same-store revenue growth of 1.2%-3.2%, expense growth of 3.0%-4.0%, and cash NOI growth of 0.5%-2.5%, with strength expected in 2H 2026. EQR's coastal market strategy continues demonstrating value, with San Francisco leading at 6.5% revenue growth and New York at 4.6%, while expansion markets like Denver (-5.9%) and Atlanta (-2.0%) face new supply pressure. EQR has premium coastal markets where limited new supply enables pricing power, though higher operating costs remain a risk. The development pipeline totals $863M for 1,824 units when complete.

Rua Bioscience Notes 'Significant Contraction' in Australian Medical Cannabis Prescribing Volumes Amid Regulatory Review

Rua Bioscience (NZE:RUA) said the Australian market has experienced "significant contraction" in medical cannabis prescribing volumes amid a Therapeutic Goods Administration review of the safety of unapproved products, according to a Wednesday filing with the New Zealand bourse.However, medicinal cannabis is showing "strong signs of maturity and growth" in international markets, especially in Europe, in the face of recent international developments and discourse of a global economic slowdown, Rua added.The company recently established RUA genetics in Canada, the second-largest cannabis market in the world after the US, adding to its presence in Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Czechia, and the UK, per the filing.In Australia, the company expects a market reset after the regulatory review is complete, and is working to establish its products in new clinic chains.Elsewhere, Rua plans to bring several products to the New Zealand market in the coming months, and is also working on product launches in Czechia scheduled for May. Additionally, the company is looking to expand in the UK with plans to incorporate its genetics through new channels and clinic chains.In Germany, the company believes there is strong demand for consistent and reliable suppliers as significant regulatory changes seem unlikely following a review during which distributors reduced stock and scaled back imports. The German market remains competitive and continues to show strong signs of growth, Rua said.
