多伦多证券交易所午盘下跌20点,多数板块上涨

-- 多伦多证券交易所午盘下跌20点,多数板块上涨。 电信和信息技术板块表现最佳,分别上涨1.5%和1.3%。 在加拿大,市场关注的焦点是3月份的二手房销售数据。 TD Economics在加拿大3月份二手房销售数据表现疲软(此前已连续四个月下滑)后表示:“显然,市场在诸多不利因素的影响下仍在苦苦挣扎,这些因素包括就业市场疲软、经济不确定性、人口增长放缓以及住房负担能力紧张。” TD补充道:“鉴于这些挑战,2026年加拿大房地产市场预计将继续保持温和态势。供需失衡将持续对卑诗省和安大略省的房价构成下行压力。其他地区的房价增长应该会更加强劲,但随着时间的推移,增速可能会放缓。” 当月新挂牌房源数量也持平。由于新增房源和销售量均几乎没有变化,3月份的销售与新增房源比率维持在47.8%。道明银行表示:“这远低于长期平均水平,预示着未来房价将温和增长。” 3月份平均房价也保持平稳,而作为更“同类比较”指标的MLS房价指数环比下降0.4%,同比下降4.7%。独立屋价格环比下降0.3%,公寓价格环比下降0.9%。 加拿大房地产协会(CREA)周四下调了今年的房屋销售增长预期,原因是今年经济开局“疲软”,且加拿大央行今年晚些时候加息以抑制油价飙升导致的通胀的可能性增加。CREA表示,预计2026年将售出约474,972套住宅,比2025年增长1%。这低于加拿大房地产协会(CREA)1月份发布的5.1%的增幅预测。预计今年全国平均房价将年上涨1.5%,达到688,955美元,低于CREA 1月份预测的2.8%的增幅。CREA还预测,到2027年,全国房屋销售量将进一步增长2.1%,达到485,071套。如果提高利率无需抑制通胀,这一预测可能会上调至50万套以上。 公司新闻方面,First Capital REIT (FCR-UN.TO) 将被Choice Properties REIT (CHP-UN.TO) 和 KingSett 以现金加单位的方式收购,交易价值94亿美元。George Weston (WN.TO) 也参与了此次交易。

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.
