受伊朗戰爭導致家電產業低迷影響,惠而浦下調業績展望;股價暴跌

By

-- 惠而浦(WHR)週三晚間下調了全年業績預期,公司官員週四表示,伊朗戰爭引發的消費者信心跌至歷史新低,導緻美國家電行業下滑。 這家家電製造商的股價週四盤中一度下跌12%。今年以來,該股已累計下跌33%。 該公司目前預計2026年調整後每股收益為3美元至3.50美元,低於先前預期的7美元。 FactSet調查的分析師預計為4.83美元。全年營收預計約150億美元,低於先前預期的153億美元至156億美元。華爾街預期為152.6億美元。 根據FactSet的電話會議記錄,執行長馬克·比澤爾在周四的財報電話會議上表示:“無論從哪個歷史標準來看,消費者信心都已處於非常低的水平,但伊朗戰爭加劇了消費者對生活成本的擔憂。” 密西根大學上月表示,由於近期通膨預期錄得一年來最大單月增幅,美國4月消費者信心跌至歷史新低。受美以伊戰爭影響,霍爾木茲海峽的運輸中斷,能源價格飆升。華盛頓和德黑蘭之間的停火協議似乎正在維持,雙方據稱正接近達成和平協議。 比澤爾告訴分析師,美國家電產業的需求在第一季下降了7.4%。 他表示:「這種程度的行業下滑與我們在全球金融危機期間觀察到的情況類似,甚至高於其他經濟衰退時期。雖然我們認為3月份的行業需求負增長在某種程度上是一個異常值,但我們預計不會完全復甦,目前預測美國家電行業的需求將全年下降5%。” 惠而浦週三晚間公佈的第一季經調整後每股虧損0.56美元,去年同期每股獲利1.70美元。華爾街先前預期非GAAP每股收益為0.38美元。營收下降9.6%至32.7億美元,低於市場普遍預期的34.4億美元。 財務長羅克珊華納在周四的電話會議上表示:“自2月下旬以來,持續的宏觀經濟和地緣政治事件對我們第一季的業績產生了負面影響。” 同時,該公司決定從第二季開始暫停派發季度股利。 華納表示:「這項決定至關重要,它能確保我們有足夠的資金償還債務並為內生成長提供資金。」惠而浦預計今年將償還超過9億美元的債務。 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場分析師麥克達爾週四在電子郵件報告中指出,惠而浦下調業績指引和暫停派息可能是為了支持其去槓桿化努力。然而,達爾表示,這兩項措施或許仍不足以「迅速解決槓桿問題」。

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.
