受伊朗战争导致家电行业低迷影响,惠而浦下调业绩展望;股价暴跌

By

-- 惠而浦(WHR)周三晚间下调了全年业绩预期,公司官员周四表示,伊朗战争引发的消费者信心跌至历史新低,导致美国家电行业下滑。 这家家电制造商的股价周四盘中一度下跌12%。今年以来,该股已累计下跌33%。 该公司目前预计2026年调整后每股收益为3美元至3.50美元,低于此前预期的7美元。FactSet调查的分析师预计为4.83美元。全年营收预计约为150亿美元,低于此前预期的153亿美元至156亿美元。华尔街预期为152.6亿美元。 根据FactSet的电话会议记录,首席执行官马克·比泽尔在周四的财报电话会议上表示:“无论从哪个历史标准来看,消费者信心都已处于非常低的水平,但伊朗战争加剧了消费者对生活成本的担忧。” 密歇根大学上月表示,由于近期通胀预期录得一年来最大单月增幅,美国4月份消费者信心跌至历史新低。受美以伊战争影响,霍尔木兹海峡的运输中断,能源价格飙升。华盛顿和德黑兰之间的停火协议似乎正在维持,双方据称正接近达成和平协议。 比泽尔告诉分析师,美国家电行业的需求在第一季度下降了7.4%。 他表示:“这种程度的行业下滑与我们在全球金融危机期间观察到的情况类似,甚至高于其他经济衰退时期。虽然我们认为3月份的行业需求负增长在某种程度上是一个异常值,但我们预计不会完全复苏,目前预测美国家电行业的需求将全年下降5%。” 惠而浦周三晚间公布的第一季度经调整后每股亏损0.56美元,而去年同期每股盈利1.70美元。华尔街此前预期非GAAP每股收益为0.38美元。营收下降9.6%至32.7亿美元,低于市场普遍预期的34.4亿美元。 首席财务官罗克珊·华纳在周四的电话会议上表示:“自2月下旬以来,持续的宏观经济和地缘政治事件对我们第一季度的业绩产生了负面影响。” 与此同时,该公司决定从第二季度开始暂停派发季度股息。 华纳表示:“这一决定至关重要,它能确保我们有足够的资金偿还债务并为内生增长提供资金。”惠而浦预计今年将偿还超过9亿美元的债务。 加拿大皇家银行资本市场分析师迈克·达尔周四在一份电子邮件报告中指出,惠而浦下调业绩指引和暂停派息可能是为了支持其去杠杆化努力。然而,达尔表示,这两项措施或许仍不足以“迅速解决杠杆问题”。

Update: WTI Falls Again on Hopes a Deal to End the Iran War is Near

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil fell for a third-straight session on Thursday but rose off the day's low on uncertain prospects for a potential peace deal between the United States and Iran.WTI crude oil for June delivery closed down US$0.27 to settle at US$94.81 per barrel, after earlier touching US$89.85. July Brent oil was last seen down US$0.67 to US$100.60The drop, which follows on Wednesday's 7% fall for WTI prices, comes amid rising optimism the United States and Iran are closer to a peace deal. However the outlook for a deal is uncertain. The Guardian reported while U.S. President Trump is saying a deal is "very possible", Iranian media are reporting is only reviewing the proposal and considering its response.There is no certainty talks will result in a deal between the two countries that will see a quick reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for exports from Persian Gulf nations that supplied 20% of the world's daily oil demand. More than 1,000 ships have been trapped in the Gulf since the Feb. 28 start to the war and supplies of oil, refined products, LNG, fertilizer and other commodities are running short."We should not be too optimistic about immediate agreement. A spokesperson for the Iranian finance ministry pushed back yesterday, calling parts of the US framework "ambitious and unrealistic proposals". So far, Tehran's wish list: set out in its 14-point response on May 2, is unchanged: full sanctions relief, release of frozen state assets, ~$270bn in reparations / reconstruction financing ("only way" to end the conflict), and a new multilateral mechanism for the SoH (Strait of Hormuz) that effectively recognizes Iranian sovereignty over it," Ole Hvalbye, a commodities analyst at SEB Research, wrote.
