受中東衝突帶來的不利影響,SLB業績喜憂參半

-- 斯隆-凱特琳石油公司 (SLB) 週五公佈了喜憂參半的第一季業績,比去年同期表現不佳,反映出中東衝突帶來的不利影響。 這家油田服務公司截至3月的季度調整後每股收益從去年同期的0.72美元降至0.52美元,而FactSet調查的分析師預期為0.51美元。營收成長3%至87.2億美元,超過華爾街預期的86.3億美元。 執行長奧利維爾·勒佩什在一份聲明中表示:“由於中東地區廣泛的動盪影響了我們的業務,今年開局充滿挑戰。油井建設和油藏性能業務受到的影響最為顯著,因為SLB響應客戶為保障人員和設施安全而採取的措施,暫停了在多個國家的作業。” 油井建設業務的營收年減6%至28億美元,但仍高於市場普遍預期的26.2億美元。油藏性能業務的營收下降6%至15.9億美元。數位業務收入成長9%,而生產系統業務收入飆升23%,達到35.1億美元。 「除中東市場外,其他所有市場的收入均同比增長,這主要得益於我們針對ChampionX、數位業務和數據中心解決方案採取的戰略舉措,」Le Peuch表示。 SLB(前身為斯倫貝謝)去年收購了競爭對手ChampionX。 在經歷了數週的敵對行動後,美國和伊朗之間達成的長期停火協議仍在維持。美國總統川普週四表示,以色列和黎巴嫩之間的停火協議也將延長。以色列與黎巴嫩真主黨之間的衝突一直是美伊和平努力的癥結之一。 「我們進入2026年時預計,全球液體供需將在2026年及之後逐步恢復平衡,」Le Peuch表示。 “然而,中東衝突加速了這一平衡進程,同時也暴露了全球能源供應鏈的關鍵脆弱性。” SLB在紐約證券交易所上市的股票週五上漲2.4%。該股今年以來已累計上漲46%。 「我們預期衝突後流動性較強的大宗商品價格將高於衝突前水平,」Le Peuch表示。 “這反映了基礎設施受損、生產受到影響以及地緣政治風險溢價造成的短期供應中斷。”

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.
