-- 周五,瑞士股市出现反弹,瑞士市场指数收涨1.92%,原因是市场对中东战争即将结束抱有新的希望。 伊朗外长在X平台上宣布,根据黎巴嫩和以色列之间生效的为期10天的停火协议,霍尔木兹海峡“完全开放”,所有商船“在停火剩余期限内”均可通行。与此同时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在Truth Social平台上表示,美国对伊朗港口的封锁将继续,“直至我们与伊朗的交易100%完成”。 在瑞士国内,瑞士在美国举行的世界银行集团和国际货币基金组织春季会议期间,与巴林签署了一项投资保护协议。该协议将在两国完成内部审批程序后生效。 在企业股方面,贝伦贝格银行将VAT集团(VACN.SW)的目标股价从466瑞士法郎上调至480瑞士法郎,并维持对该股的“持有”评级不变,指出其潜在需求“持续强劲”。这家瑞士真空阀制造商第一季度的订单额达到3.56亿瑞士法郎,尽管交付受到中东战争造成的干扰。该股收盘上涨6.09%。 “在发布第一季度业绩更新后,VAT集团语气自信,重申其对全年约13亿瑞士法郎的预期销售额感到满意。然而,其隐含的增长轨迹远非保守。根据第二季度2.65亿至2.95亿瑞士法郎的业绩指引,这显然表明今年的销售增长将集中在下半年,需要强劲的下半年业绩才能弥补上半年的缺口,”该研究机构在一份报告中指出。 “我们认为,这一指导意见实际上假设生产爬坡、供应链和客户交付都能顺畅运行,而鉴于当前形势仍缺乏完全的透明度,我们认为这是一个很高的门槛。” Partners Group (PGHN.SW) 也收盘上涨 3.38%,该公司完成了第八期私募股权二级市场融资计划,共获得超过 90 亿美元的客户承诺投资。这家瑞士私募股权巨头的该计划已完成 60% 的投资,投资者基础高度多元化,涵盖欧洲、亚太和美国的机构投资者。

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.

The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
