受美伊和平谈判重启希望提振,德国DAX指数上涨

-- 周二,德国股市从早盘的跌势中反弹,蓝筹股DAX指数收盘上涨1.27%,此前有报道称,美国和伊朗可能重返谈判桌。 路透社援引消息人士的话报道称,美国和伊朗的谈判代表可能在本周末前重返巴基斯坦,重启和平谈判。此前,双方周末峰会破裂,导致华盛顿随后决定对伊朗港口实施海上封锁。 牛津经济研究院表示:“自3月初以来,我们已将全球GDP增长预期下调0.4个百分点至2.4%,因为我们预计霍尔木兹海峡的航运活动将持续受到干扰。脆弱的停火协议似乎降低了局势恶化的风险。但即便停火协议得以维持,能源生产和航运量也需要时间才能恢复正常水平。” 回到国内,由于中东冲突持续,国际货币基金组织(IMF)下调了对德国2026年和2027年的经济增长预期。IMF在其4月份发布的《世界经济展望》中表示,目前预计德国2026年和2027年的国内生产总值(GDP)将分别增长0.8%和1.2%,这两个数字均比之前的预期下调了0.3个百分点。 IMF表示:“中东战争已经阻碍了全球经济增长势头。霍尔木兹海峡的关闭以及该地区关键设施的严重破坏,如果敌对行动持续下去,可能会引发重大能源危机。” 与此同时,德国3月份批发贸易售价同比上涨4.1%,此前一个月也上涨了1.2%。德国联邦统计局(Destatis)将这一数据归因于中东冲突,冲突推高了能源产品和原材料的批发价格。 企业新闻方面,德意志交易所 (DB1.F) 承诺投资 2 亿美元收购 Payward 1.5% 的股份,Payward 是美国加密货币交易所 Kraken 的母公司。此次注资巩固了双方正在进行的战略合作伙伴关系,进一步整合了两家公司在交易、托管、结算和代币化资产等方面的基础设施。德意志交易所股价在当日收盘下跌 0.39%。 德意志银行在盈利预测中预测,梅赛德斯-奔驰 (MBG.F) 的厢式货车业务将迎来“稳健开局”,而乘用车业务预计第一季度业绩“可能达到”全年业绩指引的下半部分。这家德国汽车集团将于 4 月 29 日发布第一季度业绩报告。该股收盘上涨 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.

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.
