加拿大皇家银行表示,消费金融公司第一季度可能面临季节性贷款方面的不利因素。

-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)周五在一份报告中指出,美国消费金融公司第一季度的贷款业务可能受到季节性因素的影响,但预计今年剩余时间增长将有所回升。 加拿大皇家银行美国研究部副主管乔恩·阿夫斯特罗姆(Jon Arfstrom)写道,截至2月份的数据显示,贷款余额出现了预期的季节性下降,同比增速略有改善。 阿夫斯特罗姆写道:“尽管我们认为近期宏观经济波动带来的直接影响非常有限,但我们仍然关注能源价格持续上涨对消费者构成的风险。稳健的违约趋势推动了损失预期保持稳定或下降,这得益于消费者的韧性以及此前时期更为严格的信贷审批。” 阿夫斯特罗姆预计,贷款余额增长将从现在开始加速。 受中东冲突导致能源价格大幅上涨的影响,美国消费者通胀率在3月份达到了近四年来的最高月度水平。本周早些时候,美国和伊朗同意停火两周,暂停了席卷中东并阻碍霍尔木兹海峡重要通道运输的战争。 加拿大皇家银行(RBC)的报告指出:“我们将寻求确认,尽管近期宏观经济形势令人担忧,但中期收入预期依然保持稳定。” 该券商将美国运通(AXP)、第一资本金融(COF)和SLM(SLM)的目标股价分别下调至415美元、235美元和28美元。Bread Financial Holdings(BFH)的目标股价则从83美元上调至90美元。 加拿大皇家银行继续推荐美国运通,理由是其拥有高端客户群和强劲的收入增长预期,同时也看好Ally Financial(ALLY)。该券商强调Synchrony Financial(SYF)和Bread Financial的信贷趋势稳定或有所改善。 Arfstrom表示:“我们的覆盖范围受到了市场波动的影响,2026年的开局更具挑战性。” “即便如此,我们认为我们所处的行业格局已做好充分准备,能够实现持续增长和健康的信贷环境。假设宏观经济形势保持稳定,我们预计2026年盈利将稳步增长,股价也将表现良好。”
