受美伊冲突缓和预期提振,沙特证券交易所股价收高。

-- 周二,沙特阿拉伯交易所交易的股票收高,伊朗和美国可能重启谈判的消息推动沙特综合指数上涨0.52%。 路透社报道称,消息人士称,美国和伊朗据称将在巴基斯坦恢复关于结束战争的会谈。消息人士补充说,伊斯兰堡的会谈可能在本周末举行。 “由于有消息称,美国和伊朗可能在为期两周的停火协议结束前恢复谈判,油价隔夜跌破每桶100美元。鉴于美国对霍尔木兹海峡实施了新的封锁,以及此前允许从已在海上的俄罗斯油轮购买石油的俄罗斯制裁豁免即将到期,石油市场似乎乐观地认为,短期内供应紧张局面将开始缓解。允许购买伊朗石油的豁免将于4月19日到期,但由于海峡封锁仍在继续,其意义有所降低。”丹麦银行在一份报告中表示。 其他方面,市场观察人士正等待国际货币基金组织(IMF)当天晚些时候发布的最新世界经济展望报告。 在国内,Academy of Learning Co.(SASE:9541)股价上涨0.58%,原因是其子公司Learning Private Schools Co.签署了一份为期30年的教育综合体租赁协议,该综合体将用于提供私立教育服务。 与此同时,沙特阿美(SASE:2222)旗下的Aramco Digital部门启动了一个项目,该项目将利用工业人工智能物联网集团Cumulocity的平台来提升其在沙特阿拉伯的车队管理运营。这家石油巨头的股价收盘下跌0.87%。

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.
