埃克森美孚預計第一季產量將因中東衝突而受到影響

-- 埃克森美孚(XOM)預計,受中東衝突造成的生產中斷影響,其全球油當量產量將在第一季受到衝擊。 根據埃克森美孚提交的監管文件,其位於卡達和阿聯酋的部分上游資產的生產自3月起受到影響。攻擊事件包括卡達兩條液化天然氣(LNG)生產線遭到破壞。 該公司週三表示,這些中斷可能導致埃克森美孚第一季全球油當量產量較上季下降約6%。 埃克森美孚表示:“公開報告顯示,(生產線)受損需要較長時間才能修復。在進行現場評估之前,我們無法就兩條生產線恢復正常運營所需的時間發表評論。” 根據文件,中東資產約佔該公司全球油當量產量的20%,但佔上游業務收益的比例較小。 埃克森美孚表示,考慮到亞太地區原油供應減少的影響,預計其全球能源產品第一季吞吐量將季減2%。 這家美國石油巨頭的股價週三下跌5.8%。規模較小的競爭對手雪佛龍(CVX)的股價下跌5.6%。此前,美國和伊朗達成了為期兩週的停火協議,導致原油價格暴跌。 埃克森美孚預計,在持續39天的美以戰爭結束後,能源價格將飆升,這將提振其第一季上游業務的收益。該公司計劃於5月1日公佈第一季業績。 該公司表示:“預計第一季每股收益將高於2025年第四季度,但需排除不利的時效性影響,這些影響會隨著時間的推移而逆轉。” 埃克森美孚表示,通常在價格上漲時期會出現不利的時效性影響。 該公司表示,由於原油和成品油交易的時間因素,第一季能源產品收益可能會受到 33 億美元至 41 億美元的衝擊。

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.
