-- 週二,德國股市從早盤的跌勢中反彈,藍籌股DAX指數收盤上漲1.27%,此前有報道稱,美國和伊朗可能重返談判桌。 路透社引述消息人士的話報導,美國和伊朗的談判代表可能在本週末前重返巴基斯坦,重啟和平談判。此前,雙方週末峰會破裂,導致華盛頓隨後決定對伊朗港口實施海上封鎖。 牛津經濟研究院表示:「自3月初以來,我們已將全球GDP成長預期下調0.4個百分點至2.4%,因為我們預計霍爾木茲海峽的航運活動將持續受到干擾。脆弱的停火協議似乎降低了局勢惡化的風險。但即便停火協議得以維持,能源生產和航運量也需要時間才能恢復正常水平。」 回到國內,由於中東衝突持續,國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)下調了對德國2026年和2027年的經濟成長預期。 IMF在其4月發布的《世界經濟展望》中表示,目前預計德國2026年和2027年的國內生產毛額(GDP)將分別成長0.8%和1.2%,這兩個數字均比先前的預期下調了0.3個百分點。 IMF表示:“中東戰爭已經阻礙了全球經濟成長勢頭。霍爾木茲海峽的關閉以及該地區關鍵設施的嚴重破壞,如果敵對行動持續下去,可能會引發重大能源危機。” 同時,德國3月批發貿易售價年增4.1%,此前一個月也上漲了1.2%。德國聯邦統計局(Destatis)將此數據歸因於中東衝突,衝突推高了能源產品和原料的批發價格。 企業新聞方面,德意志交易所 (DB1.F) 承諾投資 2 億美元收購 Payward 1.5% 的股份,Payward 是美國加密貨幣交易所 Kraken 的母公司。此次注資鞏固了雙方正在進行的策略夥伴關係,進一步整合了兩家公司在交易、託管、結算和代幣化資產等方面的基礎設施。德意志交易所股價在當日收盤下跌 0.39%。 德意志銀行在盈利預測中預測,梅賽德斯-奔馳 (MBG.F) 的廂式貨車業務將迎來“穩健開局”,而乘用車業務預計第一季業績“可能達到”全年業績指引的下半部分。這家德國汽車集團將於 4 月 29 日發布第一季業績報告。該股收盤上漲 1.94%。

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.

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.
