受中東戰爭影響,菲律賓製造業活動減少。

By

-- 受中東戰亂影響,菲律賓製造業在4月轉為萎縮,原因是採購活動、新訂單和員工人數均有所下降。 標普全球菲律賓製造業採購經理人指數(PMI)4月錄得48.3,而3月份為51.3(擴張期)。 PMI高於50表示擴張,低於50表示萎縮。 由於新訂單下降,該指標自去年11月以來首次跌至負值。 標普表示,由於貿易路線關閉導致航運中斷,消費者猶豫不決,新出口訂單暴跌至2020年年中以來的最低水準。 標普全球市場情報經濟學家瑪麗亞姆·巴盧奇表示,出口市場需求惡化也拖累了新銷售額。 該機構在其報告中指出:“新銷售額的下降導致菲律賓製造商4月份的生產水平停滯不前。” 根據《菲律賓星報》4月16日報道,菲律賓出口商聯合會的一項調查顯示,由於服裝、食品、手工藝品和家具行業的訂單短缺,出口商已將每週工作天數從六天減少到最短三天。 標普表示,由於本月「小幅」裁員,員工人數下降。 標普稱,由於新訂單減少以及投入和運輸價格上漲,菲律賓製造商已轉向庫存以滿足生產需求。 儘管存在短缺,但由於投資者對不斷增長的客戶群和潛在需求趨勢的改善持樂觀態度,商業信心升至17個月以來的最高點。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Rating On Shares Of Iron Mountain Incorporated

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target price by $20 to $143 based on a forward P/FFO of 34.0x our 2026 FFO estimate, a premium to its one-year average of 27.2x. We maintain our 2026 and 2027 FFO estimates at $4.20 and $4.61, respectively. IRM reported 17% organic growth in Q1, the highest mark in more than 25 years, highlighting the strength of the data center expansion and services growth. Data center growth continues to beat expectations with management expecting to be meaningfully above its original 100MW guidance for the year; this is evident in the guidance increase of $175M for revenue. We see the recently acquired FedRAMP High authorization designation, which allows for cloud storage of mission-critical and highly-sensitive federal data, will drive higher service revenue growth in the future. Net lease adjusted leverage is now 4.8x, the lowest level since IRM's 2014 REIT conversion, highlighting the capacity for management to fund significant data center capex expansion over the next five years.
