加拿大蒙特利爾銀行對加拿大未來一天的展望

By

-- 蒙特婁銀行(BMO)表示,加拿大將於週四上午8:30(美國東部時間)公佈2月國內生產毛額(GDP)和3月初步數據。 該行指出,受製造業出貨量和零售銷售強勁成長的推動,2月份實質GDP可望連續第三個月成長,季增0.2%。 加拿大統計局也將公佈3月GDP的初步估算值,從而反映出伊朗戰爭的初步影響。此外,也將公佈第一季的GDP數據。蒙特利爾銀行預計,在經歷了第四季度的小幅萎縮之後,第一季GDP將出現可觀的反彈,年化成長率約為1.5%。 該行也表示,同樣在周四上午8:30(美國東部時間),加拿大統計局也將公佈2月的薪資和職缺數據(SEPH)。鑑於當月家庭調查就業人數大幅下降(8.4萬人),數據可能會低於預期。 貨幣市場再次預期加拿大央行今年將升息幾次。先前,加拿大央行週三表示,如果油價上漲加劇通膨或推高長期通膨預期(目前長期通膨預期仍保持穩定),則可能需要升息。 BMO補充道。 不過,該行預計加拿大央行在可預見的未來將維持利率不變,因為疲軟的需求和勞動市場的閒置應能限制能源成本上漲對通膨的二次影響。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Extra Space Storage

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target price by $5 to $125, 15.5x our 2026 P/FFO estimate, below self-storage peers (16.7x) given EXR's weak NOI growth outlook and elevated debt levels. We decrease our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.20 to $8.04 and lower 2027 by $0.21 to $8.31. Despite a stronger Q1 same-store performance than expected, management did not increase guidance, which we believe is due to macroeconomic factors that are affecting new customer demand growth (primarily higher gas prices and inflation). These trends have been more pronounced in Sun Belt markets (similar to all self-storage REITs), as the excess supply has severely limited rental growth in the past 18 months. We believe 2H 2026 will have weaker same-property performance, even if the macroeconomic environment improves due to stronger Y/Y comps from 2H 2025. We also see a new risk that PSA's partnership with Welltower Inc (WELL) may negatively impact EXR's value proposition for its third-party management platform.
