-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）在周五发布的一份客户报告中指出，艾伯维（AbbVie，股票代码：ABBV）预计第一季度盈利将符合预期，但这可能不足以提振市场对这家制药公司的信心。 该券商预计艾伯维第一季度每股收益为2.59美元，而FactSet目前的共识预期为非GAAP每股收益2.83美元。 今年4月初，艾伯维将第一季度调整后每股收益预期下调至2.56美元至2.60美元。该公司表示，预计与收购在研研发项目及其他费用相关的7.44亿美元税前支出将对其每股收益产生0.41美元的负面影响。 加拿大皇家银行分析师Trung Huynh在报告中写道：“我们认为市场对艾伯维的预期很高，即使业绩符合预期，也可能不足以扭转市场负面情绪。” “除非公司业绩明显超出预期，否则我们预计目前的低迷状态将持续到（2026年第二季度）。” 艾伯维计划于4月29日发布最新季度业绩。 据加拿大皇家银行（RBC）称，该公司免疫药物Skyrizi和Rinvoq第一季度的销售额与市场预期和指引相符。该券商预计，受《通胀减排法案》价格侵蚀和抗癌药物Imbruvica销量下降的影响，艾伯维的肿瘤业务将出现“小幅”同比下滑。 加拿大皇家银行预测该公司营收将达到148.2亿美元，而华尔街的预期为147.3亿美元。 该券商维持对艾伯维股票的“跑赢大盘”评级，目标价为260美元。

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says
Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.
