加拿大皇家银行称,伊顿数据中心订单激增,下半年增长前景走强。

By

-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)表示,伊顿(ETN)在数据中心、公用事业和电气化领域表现良好,强劲的订单势头和积压订单增长将支撑其下半年有机销量、运营杠杆和利润率的预期提升。 数据中心需求表现突出,订单同比增长240%,各业务板块的积压订单也强劲增长。该券商在周二的一份报告中指出,美洲电气业务的积压订单增长了44%,全球电气业务的积压订单增长了73%,订单储备增长了81%。 第一季度美洲电气业务利润率大幅下降,主要归因于产能扩张以及4月1日价格上涨前钢铁、铜、铝和白银等大宗商品价格的上涨。不过,RBC表示,博伊德热能公司(Boyd Thermal)的收购预计将带来超过此前预期的17亿美元全年销售额,这可能带来额外的增长空间。 该机构将利润率压力描述为与积压订单加速增长和产能扩张相关的“高质量问题”。 根据报告,该公司计划在2027年第一季度末分拆其车辆和电动出行业务部门,预计将进一步调整伊顿的业务结构,使其更加侧重于增长潜力更高的数据中心和航空航天领域。 加拿大皇家银行重申了对该股的“跑赢大盘”评级,并将目标股价从每股457美元上调至484美元。

New Home Listings Growth Outpaces Sales For First Time in 2026, Zillow Says

New for-sale home listings in the US grew at a faster rate annually than sales for the first time this year as elevated mortgage rates stalled recovery, Zillow Group (Z, ZG) said Wednesday.New listings rose 2.1% year over year to 426,356 units in April, while sales eased 0.4% to 323,631 units, according to the real estate marketplace. Active inventory increased 3.7% last month, putting the total number of for-sale homes at 1.3 million."The spring rebound we anticipated at the start of the year and that produced the stronger sales figures in March was put on pause in April by higher rates," Zillow Chief Economist Mischa Fisher said. "Still, someone who held off in 2025 hoping conditions would improve has seen that improvement."Last week, the average interest rate for 30-year fixed mortgages with conforming loan balances of $832,750 or less increased to 6.45% from 6.37% sequentially, a report by the Mortgage Bankers Association showed Wednesday.The monthly mortgage payment on a typical home in the US dropped 3.4% annually to $1,829 last month, while home values rose 0.7% to $366,712, Zillow said.The share of listings with a price reduction was 23.5% in April, down one percentage point from a year earlier, but up 0.9 percentage point sequentially.Despite the recent rise in mortgage rates, buyers who waited out the market of 2025 are entering on slightly better terms this spring, with more options, improved affordability and a little more decision time, according to Zillow."With more homes to choose from and lower monthly costs than a year ago, the math has shifted in favor of buyers even if the moment may not feel like it," Fisher said. "There's still plenty of reason for optimism that we will see a quick rebound if rates cooperate."On Tuesday, government data showed that new-home sales in the US grew past Wall Street's estimates for March, driven by a demand surge in the Northeast region.Price: $44.82, Change: $+1.28, Percent Change: +2.94%
