哈里伯顿公司表示,北美页岩油气行业出现早期复苏迹象,但船队运力趋紧。

-- 领先的油田服务公司哈里伯顿(Halliburton,股票代码:HAL)表示,北美页岩油气活动已出现“早期复苏迹象”,水力压裂市场产能趋紧表明需求状况正在改善。 在周二举行的2026年第一季度财报电话会议上,总裁兼首席执行官杰弗里·艾伦·米勒指出,由于整个行业需求飙升,今年前几个月还“空档期”的压裂作业日程表现在已经排满了。 米勒表示,年初时公司曾担心完井作业量下降和延误,但现在“不再需要担心了”。 公司还指出,来自小型运营商的零星作业需求有所增加,这是需求上升的早期迹象。 哈里伯顿首席运营官香农·斯洛克姆表示,虽然目前可能还处于“早期阶段”,但她认为“北美的形势是积极的”。 该公司还补充说,高端设备市场供应已经趋紧,行业库存几乎全部售罄,只差“少数几支车队”就能全部售罄。 然而,管理层指出,公司仍专注于实现收益最大化,而非争夺市场份额,并将定价和现有车队的利用率放在首位。

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
