加拿大皇家银行表示，尽管估值较低，但达美乐披萨仍面临不利的经营环境。

By

-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）周三发布的一份报告称，达美乐披萨（Domino's Pizza，股票代码：DPZ）第一季度的营收和利润可能“略低于市场预期”。 报告指出，尽管估值偏低，但由于“预期可能被下调”，该公司风险/回报比“略微不利”。 报告还指出，尽管达美乐披萨可能受益于竞争对手在第一季度的关店潮，但潜在的宏观经济压力增加可能会促使其管理层将2026年国内同店销售增长预期从3%略微下调。 该投资公司表示，百胜餐饮集团（Yum Brands，股票代码：YUM）旗下的必胜客（Pizza Hut）和棒约翰（Papa John's，股票代码：PZZA）预计今年将关闭约500家门店，其中大部分将在第一季度关闭。 加拿大皇家银行（RBC）预计，达美乐披萨第一季度美国同店销售额将增长2.7%，低于市场普遍预期的3.0%。 与此同时，尽管高油价可能对消费者支出产生影响，但该投资公司认为达美乐披萨的国际同店销售额增长将与预期持平。RBC指出，达美乐披萨在中东地区的直接业务仅占其系统销售额的个位数百分比。 RBC维持对达美乐披萨的“与行业持平”评级，并将目标股价从425美元下调至400美元。

Microsoft's Amended Agreement With OpenAI a 'Net Positive,' Wedbush Says

Microsoft's (MSFT) amended agreement with OpenAI is a "net positive" as the company locks in a six-year intellectual property control over OpenAI's technology and maintains a significant share of OpenAI, Wedbush Securities said in a note Monday.The agreement represents an important moment for Microsoft as it looks to develop tech independence from OpenAI, while building its Copilot assistant and leveraging AI models from Anthropic in its 365 tools, the brokerage said.Under the new deal, Microsoft will continue to hold a license to OpenAI technology through 2032, although the license is no longer exclusive, according to the note. Microsoft will no longer pay a revenue share to OpenAI while revenue share payments from OpenAI to Microsoft will continue through 2030 at the same percentage, subject to a total cap, Wedbush said.The amended agreement also puts OpenAI on a "strong path forward" amid its upcoming initial public offering, giving it a clearer opportunity in the cloud environment while reducing barriers from its original partnership with Microsoft, the brokerage said.Wedbush maintained its outperform rating on Microsoft with a $575 price target.Price: $422.15, Change: $-2.45, Percent Change: -0.58%

MediPharm Labs Says "Welcomes" Implementation of U.S. Final Order Cannabis Rescheduling

MediPharm Labs (LABS.TO) "welcomes" the implementation of the U.S. final order rescheduling certain cannabis products from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, it said Monday.The order, which took effect April 22, recognizes the medical use of cannabis and is anticipated to materially reduce barriers to U.S. clinical research and pharmaceutical development, the company noted."The order is expected to accelerate U.S. research by enabling access to standardized medical-grade cannabis from registered suppliers," said the company in a statement. "For MediPharm Labs, this could mean an expanded pipeline of U.S. researchers and pharmaceutical companies advancing clinical trials and evaluating compliant active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") suppliers."The order also "creates a clearer regulatory pathway" for FDA-approved drug products containing cannabis, which is directly aligned with MediPharm Labs pharmaceutical manufacturing strategy, it said.Shares of the company were last seen up $0.01 to $0.07 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.Price: $0.08, Change: $+0.01, Percent Change: +15.38%

EU Sees Stable Gas Supply, Monitors Oil Markets Amid Hormuz Risks

European Union officials said gas storage remains near targets with 80% seen as sufficient for winter, while oil markets face risks from Hormuz disruptions, the European Commission said Friday.Experts from the European Commission, EU countries, and the International Energy Agency met to assess supply security as the Middle East conflict entered its third month.The Gas Coordination Group said supply conditions remain stable, with storage levels only slightly below pre-crisis averages despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.Officials said reaching 80% storage by the end of summer would adequately secure winter demand, according to the commission.EU countries are balancing storage refilling with economic considerations and have not introduced additional interventions so far, it said.Countries can activate regulatory flexibility in a timely manner if they fail to meet storage targets under EU legislation, officials said.The Oil Coordination Group is implementing actions under the April 22 AccelerateEU plan and introducing a Fuel Observatory to track supply, stocks, imports, and exports, the Commission said.Energy ministers mandated the European Commission at the extraordinary Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council meeting on March 31 to collect national data on stocks and market conditions.The European Commission is using the collected data to build an EU-wide regional assessment of supply conditions and market developments, it said.Current data shows jet fuel supplies can meet demand, but a prolonged Strait of Hormuz closure could disrupt markets in the coming weeks and months, the Commission added.The European Commission will use the collected data to guide coordinated EU actions, including potential stock releases already committed under the IEA's collective response framework, it said.The European Commission will keep assessing impacts, coordinate actions, and stay in close contact with EU countries, the IEA, and market participants, the Commission added.
