-- 鑑於挪威能源公司Equinor (EQNR.OL)今年前三個月的交易業績“強勁”，加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)調整了對該公司盈利預測和目標股價。 分析師週三修正了預期，以反映第一季的業績和最新的展望。 RBC預測Equinor的產量成長將達到5%，高於管理階層先前3%的預期。該研究機構補充說，其模型現在納入了「現金稅收平滑」因素，預計Equinor將利用「巨大的」稅前利好來支付2026年下半年的額外稅款。 在此背景下，RBC將Equinor的目標股價從380挪威克朗下調至360挪威克朗，並重申了「弱於大盤」的評級。 RBC指出，與其他同行業公司相比，Equinor的股價反映了更「樂觀」的宏觀經濟前景。 「本季業績強勁，但可惜的是，Equinor 的財報發布日期不合適。該公司今日股價波動更多是受降級新聞的影響，而非財報本身的內容。Equinor 公佈的產量創歷史新高，多個部門的業績均超出預期。我們仍然對 Equinor 持有的 Ør.月資本市場日上，情況會更加明朗。截至週三收盤，這家在奧斯陸上市的公司股價下跌超過 8%。
