受中東緊張局勢緩和的樂觀情緒提振,阿聯酋股市本週收高。

-- 受美伊衝突可望盡快解決的預期提振,阿聯酋股市本週收漲。 週五收盤時,富時ADX綜合指數上漲0.028%,杜拜金融市場綜合指數上漲0.977%。 美國總統川普表示,美伊協議將「很快」達成,兩國間為期兩週的停火協議可能會延長。受此消息影響,油價下跌。川普也在社群媒體上發文稱,在以色列總理內塔尼亞胡和黎巴嫩總統奧恩就10天停火協議達成協議後,他將邀請他們訪問白宮。 荷蘭國際集團(ING)表示:「儘管有關美國和伊朗討論延長停火期限以及以色列和黎巴嫩達成停火協議的消息令人鼓舞,但目前仍缺乏足夠的明朗因素來支撐布倫特原油價格持續跌破每桶90-95美元區間或歐元兌美元匯率持續突破1.1850關口。 截至阿聯酋時間下午3點53分,布蘭特原油期貨價格接近每桶95.909美元,較前一日下跌3.49%。 在國內,阿聯酋外交部注意到以色列和黎巴嫩達成的停火協議,稱此舉將標誌著邁向區域穩定的「積極一步」。 企業方面,ADNH餐飲集團(ADX:ADNHC)公佈第一季歸屬於母公司股東的淨利為3,040萬阿聯酋迪拉姆,公司將業績下滑歸因於該地區地緣政治緊張局勢的短期影響。該餐飲集團股價收盤持平。 在杜拜,海灣航運公司(DFM:GULFNAV)發布聲明澄清,公司並不知曉任何導致其股價在周三至週四期間飆升的未披露資訊。這家海運和航運公司的股價收盤上漲4.62%。

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. 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.
