加拿大皇家銀行資本市場表示,強勁的燃油利潤率將支撐便利商店營運商第一季業績。

By

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)分析師週一在一份報告中指出,穩健的燃油利潤率和穩定的消費者需求支撐了便利商店營運商,預計其第一季業績將表現良好。 儘管燃料價格上漲、伊朗衝突引發的地緣政治緊張局勢以及消費者日益注重性價比,該公司仍對該行業保持樂觀展望。 分析師表示:“儘管面臨地緣政治風險加劇、伊朗衝突導緻原油價格高企以及消費者持續追求性價比的背景下,汽油利潤率的相對強勢、長期穩定的需求記錄以及從第四季度延續到第一季度的增長勢頭,都支撐了我們對該行業的積極看法。” 分析師指出,從歷史經驗來看,油價和燃油價格的波動為更成熟的營運商提供了機會,使其能夠獲得高於行業平均水平的汽油利潤率溢價,而燃油利潤率在過去十年中持續改善。 分析師表示:“儘管近期汽油價格飆升,但零售價格仍維持在2023/2024年的峰值水平,遠低於俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後的峰值水平。” 然而,汽油需求持續低於新冠疫情前的水平,分析師認為,伊朗衝突後原油價格的波動加劇了汽油需求。 分析師表示:“燃料需求持續低於疫情前的水平,這反映了生活方式和通勤模式的結構性轉變、生活成本的上升,以及近期地緣政治因素導致的汽油價格飆升所帶來的需求彈性。” 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)預測,美國第一季Alimentation Couche-Tard汽油的利潤率為每加侖45.75美分,比業界同期平均高出約8美分/加侖。分析師表示,預測高於過去八個季度溢價區間的上限(先前區間為每加侖3美分至6美分),反映出地緣政治背景下燃油價格的顯著波動。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)預測凱西便利商店(Casey's,CASY)的利潤率為每加侖39美分,而墨菲美國公司(Murphy USA,MUSA)的零售利潤率和綜合利潤率預計分別為每加侖24.5美分和32.7美分。

Middle East War to Push Up Food Costs, World Bank Says

The World Bank, on Tuesday, warned the Middle East conflict is set to drive up global food costs, as surging energy prices lift fertilizer prices and strain agricultural output.Fertilizer prices are projected to rise 31% in 2026, including a sharp increase in urea prices, reducing affordability for farmers and threatening crop yields, the bank said.The bank added that up to 45 million more people are at risk of being pushed into acute food insecurity this year if the conflict persists, as higher input costs ripple through global food supply chains.The World Bank said the shock highlights how energy disruptions are feeding into food inflation, with the poorest populations the most exposed to rising costs.
