奧本海默公司稱，標普500指數成分股公司財報季開局穩健。

-- 奧本海默資產管理公司週一發布的一份報告顯示，首批標普500指數成分股公司的季度業績表明，財報季開局良好。 報告指出，目前已有約46家公司（佔該大型股指數成分股的9%）公佈了本輪財報季的財務業績，其盈利和銷售額分別同比增長約32%和13%。 奧本海默引述FactSet的數據稱，在財報季開始前，FactSet曾預測標普500指數成分股公司的獲利將年增12.6%。 奧本海默資產管理公司首席投資策略師約翰·斯托爾茨弗斯表示：“現在對第一季業績下結論還為時過早，但本季度似乎開局良好。” 該券商特別強調了部分公司的業績表現「異常出色」。 迄今為止，科技板塊領先獲利成長，五家公司的財報顯示利潤年增134%，緊隨其後的是通訊服務板塊，增幅達84%，奧本海默的報告顯示。科技板塊在營收方面也領先其他所有板塊，迄今的營收成長率約為44%。 據該券商稱，約有94家標普500指數成分股公司計劃在本週發布季度財報。這些公司包括特斯拉（TSLA）、英特爾（INTC）、IBM（IBM）、德州儀器（TXN）、菲利普莫里斯國際（PM）、寶潔（PG）、通用電氣航空航天（GE）、聯合健康集團（UNH）和RTX（RTX）。 上週五，伊朗宣布暫時重新開放霍爾木茲海峽，導致油價暴跌，標普500指數和納斯達克綜合指數均創下新高。週一，由於美伊停火協議本周到期前，兩國關係明顯升溫，油價上漲。斯托爾茨弗斯表示：“我們仍然認為，近期美國主要股指的積極回報繼續得到美國經濟整體韌性和企業盈利報告的支撐，儘管在和平談判推進期間，市場對重大風險仍存在一定程度的敏感性。” 美國將派遣談判代表前往巴基斯坦進行第二輪和平談判，但伊朗表示不打算參與這些談判。

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.
