-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)周一通过电子邮件发布的一份报告称,阿达格金属包装公司(Ardagh Metal Packaging,股票代码:AMBP)第一季度盈利超出预期,并重申了2026年的展望,这表明饮料罐行业需求强劲、定价能力强,且通胀影响“有限”,这对波尔(Ball,股票代码:BALL)和皇冠(Crown,股票代码:CCK)两大品牌来说都是利好消息。 该机构表示,强劲的能量饮料和非酒精饮料市场趋势,以及世界杯等全球性赛事可能带来的利好因素,有望在2026年支撑饮料罐销量实现个位数低段增长,同时预计各公司会将“更高的铝材成本”转嫁给消费者。 报告指出,该公司第一季度业绩超出预期约10%,主要得益于“投入成本回收”和“欧洲套期保值收益”,但全球出货量略有下降,反映出北美市场的疲软。 展望未来,该公司将2026年第二季度和2027年息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA)预期分别上调至2.15亿美元、7.65亿美元和7.9亿美元,理由是销量稳步增长以及欧洲和巴西市场的强劲表现。不过,报告指出,下半年业绩可能受到原材料成本上涨和“欧洲运费套期保值逆转”的影响。 加拿大皇家银行(RBC)对Ardagh Metal Packaging的评级为“与行业持平”,目标价为5美元。

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise on Cooler Weather Outlook
US natural gas futures climbed in after-hours trading on Monday as a cooler weather outlook and easing supply conditions triggered some short covering.The front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract both rose 0.75% to $2.542 per million British thermal units.Prices briefly touched an intraday high of around $2.63/MMBtu in earlier trade."Nat-gas prices settled higher on Monday as short covering emerged amid colder US weather forecasts, potentially boosting nat-gas heating demand," Barchart said.Weather-driven demand shifts were a key driver. NatGasWeather.com said models have moved cooler versus last week, adding more heating demand days while reducing cooling demand. The forecaster said the change leaves the outlook less bearish and closer to neutral or slightly bullish.On the demand side, residential and commercial consumption increased sharply to 15.2 billion cubic feet per day from 12.5 Bcf/d as cooler temperatures boosted heating needs. Power burn remained steady at 32.5 Bcf/d and is projected to average 30.3 Bcf/d for the week, up from 29 Bcf/d last week, Gelber & Associates said.Total US natural gas production was flat last week, averaging around 106.5 Bcf/d, NRG Energy said. Trading Economics said output fell by around 4.1 Bcf/d over the past 18 days to an 11-week low of 108.1 Bcf/d, as major producers such as EQT scaled back output in response to low prices.Both NRG Energy and Gelber said Canadian imports fell to 4.7-4.8 Bcf/d from 5.5 Bcf/d.On the export side, Barchart, citing BNEF data, said LNG flows were 19.5 Bcf/d, down 2.1% from last week's robust levels. Trading Economics put the April average feedgas flow at 18.9 Bcf/d so far and noted it was near record highs."Today saw cooler forecast revisions, softer production, and steady LNG demand, which offers limited support for prices. That said, overall fundamental balances are not tight enough to fully change the story," Gelber said Monday.
