-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場（RBC Capital Markets）週三發布的一份報告指出，PNC金融服務公司（PNC）第一季度業績強勁，淨利息收入和淨息差均實現顯著增長，這主要得益於其對FirstBank的收購。 RBC表示，該公司第一季調整後每股盈餘為4.32美元，高於RBC先前預期的4.14美元；營收年增13%至61.7億美元。 RBC指出，淨利息收入的成長以及手續費業務的貢獻推動了營收成長。 RBC也表示，淨利息收入年增14%，淨利差擴大11個基點至2.95%。 報告稱，貸款成長也加速，期末貸款年增13%至3,609億美元，其中商業和工業貸款成長18%。 RBC維持對PNC金融服務公司的「跑贏大盤」評級和235美元的目標價。

After surging nearly 50% since the onset of the United States-Iran conflict, this crude oil price shock is one of the largest on record since the inception of WTI futures trading in the mid-1980s, said National Bank of Canada.While the change is historically significant in percentage terms, the same can't necessarily be said about where the price stands outright, noted the bank.That's true for the US dollar-denominated price, at least. The price of WTI in Canadian dollar (CAD or loonie) terms is near a record high early in Q2, recently trading just below C$160/barrel -- a level reached only once before, briefly, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, stated National Bank.Canadian producers -- and governments -- could, as a consequence, be poised to capture one of the most lucrative quarters on record in terms of royalty revenues, added the bank. How long this fiscal windfall will last is uncertain, but if sustained, its impact on provincial and federal finances will be "significant" -- particularly for oil-levered provinces such as Alberta.Though the net impact of this crude shock on the Canadian economy -- and its implications for monetary policy -- has yet to be fully revealed, National Bank urges governments to capitalize on this opportunity.Most notably, this can be done by directing any additional, unbudgeted revenues to the bottom line or toward productivity-enhancing investments in the national interest. This federal government has promised to "spend less to invest more" -- a sentiment that will once again be tested in Tuesday's Spring Economic Update, according to the bank.
