多倫多證券交易所收盤:基本面看漲,指數持續上漲

-- 多倫多證券交易所週三再次收高,延續了過去11個交易日中除一個交易日外全部上漲的勢頭。投資人原本就看好市場基本面,即便地緣政治動盪,而聯邦政府定於4月28日發布的春季財政更新報告也提振了市場信心。 S&P/TSX綜合指數收盤上漲53.63點,漲幅0.15%,報34,155.99點。多數板塊上漲,其中資訊科技板塊連續第三個交易日領漲,漲幅接近3.6%。工業板塊跌幅最大,接近0.9%。 週二的上漲使多倫多證券交易所(TSX)距離3月2日創下的34,541.27點的歷史收盤紀錄僅差400點。根據FactSet數據顯示,截至今日,TSX指數過去一個月上漲4.07%,年初至今上漲2,389.60點,漲幅達7.54%。自2025年1月29日美國總統就職典禮以來,該指數已累計上漲36.04%。 德斯賈丁斯指出,隨著2026年各省預算季基本結束,目前唯一需要更新財政展望的主要政府機構是加拿大聯邦政府。 德斯賈丁斯在發布的《2026年聯邦春季經濟展望》中重點指出,自2025年預算案出台以來,許多變化都對聯邦政府有利,尤其是在經濟方面。報告補充說,這騰出了財政空間,可以增加國防開支和家庭轉移支付,同時也能維持赤字和債務前景較預算有所改善。 德斯賈丁斯表示,加拿大仍是已開發經濟體中「財政狀況最清廉」的國家之一,投資人對政府公債的需求也強化了這種正面情緒。德斯賈丁斯預計加拿大政府的信用評級不會下調,「至少在短期內不會」。 「但這不應被視為理所當然,」德斯賈丁斯說道,並補充道:「儘管經濟形勢向好,但風險依然存在。這些風險包括《加美墨協定》(CUSMA)的聯合審查以及利率上升。加拿大政府明智的做法是保留一些財政儲備,以應對可能出現的這些風險。」 上個月,加拿大國家銀行指出,有人問加拿大央行總裁蒂夫·麥克勒姆,油價衝擊對加拿大經濟的利弊究竟是利大於弊還是弊大於利。他給出的答案令人失望,稱現在下結論還為時過早,但他確實解釋說,「能源產業將會好轉,而消費者將面臨更大的壓力」。加拿大國家銀行指出,他沒有提及的受益者之一是政府。該銀行表示:“在產油省份,財政收益顯而易見,因為原油期貨曲線表明不可再生資源收入將大幅增長。雖然聯邦政府不會直接削減石油特許權使用費,但也會從中受益。” 加拿大國家銀行表示,對於像加拿大這樣的資源豐富國家而言,大宗商品價格上漲對貿易條件來說是「一大利好」。在其他條件不變的情況下,這將推高GDP平減指數和整體名目產出,而名目產出與政府收入密切相關。加拿大國家銀行指出,即使在中東衝突爆發之前,由於2025年的經濟韌性和歷史數據的正面修正,GDP也呈現上升趨勢。加拿大國家銀行補充說,綜合來看,2026年的名目產出可能比聯邦政府在秋季預算中的預期高出4%,即1,300億美元。 加拿大國家銀行估計,此次GDP成長超出預期,預計2026-27財年將增加至少200億加元的財政收入,2025-26財年也可能出現成長。該行表示,上個財年的額外現金流量與渥太華的債務管理計畫(DMS)相比借貸不足的情況相符,中期財政結果也印證了這一點。無論最終實現的財政收入成長幅度如何,一項關鍵的財政指標已顯著改善。由於GDP成長超出預期,加拿大2026-27財年的淨負債佔GDP的比率比預算計畫低1.6個百分點。 加拿大國家銀行指出,2022年的情況與此類似。當時,大宗商品價格飆升,政府財政收入比先前計畫額外增加了560億加幣。加拿大國家銀行表示,這次的意外之財不會像2022年那麼豐厚,因為需求疲軟,且上漲的大宗商品種類也相對較少。 「不過,就像四年前一樣,人們很難抵擋住意外之財的誘惑,忍不住花掉一部分。而渥太華也恰好在這個時候暫時下調了聯邦汽油稅。儘管如此,我們認為一個旨在‘減少開支’的政府,還是會允許一部分收入流入財政。” 大宗商品方面,西德州中質原油(WTI)週三收盤上漲1美分。此前,美國總統川普再次宣稱對伊朗的戰爭即將結束,而由於霍爾木茲海峽關閉,導致每日五分之一的石油需求無法進入市場,交易員們仍在爭相搶購供應。 5月交割的WTI原油期貨價格上漲0.01美元,收在每桶91.29美元;6月交屋的布蘭特原油期貨價格上漲0.23美元,收在每桶95.02美元。 週三,儘管美元走軟,黃金價格仍走低。由於對美國降息的預期減弱,加上對伊朗戰爭推高了能源價格,貴金屬價格在一定範圍內波動。 5月交割的黃金期貨價格下跌33.80美元,至每盎司4,816.30美元。

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.
