多伦多证券交易所午盘下跌230点,信息技术板块和工业板块表现最差。

By

-- 多伦多证券交易所午盘下跌近230点,多数板块走低,其中信息技术板块(-2.0%)和工业板块(-1.8%)领跌。 能源板块(+1.9%)表现最佳,主要受油价上涨提振。 加拿大央行维持基准利率不变,仍为2.25%。加拿大帝国商业银行资本市场首席经济学家艾弗里·申菲尔德表示,鉴于未来前景不明朗,央行决定维持2.25%的政策利率并不令人意外。 申菲尔德指出,央行预计油价将在2027年年中逐步回落至每桶75美元,“这仍将推高短期通胀,但对经济增长前景的影响与此前预测基本一致,即经济增长放缓的进程非常缓慢”。尽管加拿大央行认为“迄今为止几乎没有迹象”表明能源价格上涨会波及核心通胀,但它表示不会让“能源价格上涨演变为持续性通胀”。 申菲尔德表示:“如果这听起来鹰派,值得注意的是,央行并不认为这种情况会发生。央行预计通胀率将飙升至3%,但会在明年初回落至2%的目标水平,我们也认同这一观点。央行表示,虽然可能需要调整政策利率,但这些调整‘预计幅度不大’。” 股市方面,CGI(GIB-A.TO)在今天上午公布第二季度业绩后,股价下跌近14%。 加拿大国家铁路公司(CNR.TO)在公布符合预期的第一季度业绩后,股价下跌6.1%。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Kimberly-clark Corp

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target by $6 to $104, 14x our 2026 EPS estimate (from 16x), a discount to its 19x five-year average forward multiple, reflecting integration risks stemming from the acquisition of Kenvue Inc. (KVUE 17 ***). We lower our 2026 EPS estimate to $7.45 from $7.56 and keep 2027's at $6.31. Following Q1 results, we maintain our Hold rating, reflecting a balanced assessment of operational momentum, with adjusted EPS of $1.97 beating the $1.95 consensus estimate, against a conservative full-year outlook. Management maintained organic sales growth guidance despite the Q1 beat, disappointing investors that expected an upward revision. Operating margin contracted 60 bps as higher operational and raw material costs offset productivity gains. Additionally, the KVUE acquisition introduces integration risks, having received shareholder approval but still pending regulatory approval. At current levels, we see balanced risk/reward and would become more constructive if management raised guidance.
