奧本海默公司稱,芝士蛋糕工廠季度同店銷售額或將超出市場預期

-- 奧本海默週二表示,由於其核心客戶群相對不受整體經濟逆風的影響,起司蛋糕工廠(Cake)第一財季的同店銷售額可能超過華爾街的預期。 該券商預計,這家連鎖餐廳本季的同店銷售額將成長1%,高於華爾街0.6%的預期。奧本海默在一份致客戶的報告中指出,該公司預計每股收益為1.01美元,而華爾街的預期為1美元。 起司蛋糕工廠將於4月29日公佈業績。 奧本海默分析師布萊恩·比特納和邁克爾·塔馬斯表示,該公司的核心客戶群繼續「免受影響整個行業的宏觀壓力」。 “中高收入家庭對通膨波動(例如汽油價格)的敏感度較低,並且更有可能獲得更大比例的退稅增長。” 奧本海默將起司蛋糕工廠(Cheesecake Factory)的股票目標價從68美元上調至72美元,並維持「跑贏大盤」評級。 該公司股價在周二下午的交易中下跌0.2%。奧本海默表示,今年迄今,該股已上漲22%,在提供全方位服務的餐飲同業中表現「最佳」。 由於美以對伊戰爭爆發後,霍爾木茲海峽關閉,導致能源價格飆升,引發了廣泛的通膨擔憂。 對於本季,起司蛋糕工廠的同店銷售預期「至少能夠達到」華爾街0.7%的成長預期。奧本海默表示,儘管天氣相關的挑戰可能有所減少,但這一預期與第一季的預期相似。 「根據我們的研究,我們發現(2026年)的同店銷售額和每股盈餘預測與市場普遍預期有所不同,目前較為保守,」比特納和塔馬斯表示。 「(起司蛋糕工廠)獨特的優勢在於其消費者需求趨於穩定,這可能有助於更好地控制財務模型。” 分析師表示,2026年的風險/回報比“略微偏向有利”,高於華爾街1.1%的同店銷售額成長預期。奧本海默公司預測該指標將成長1.4%。根據報告,該券商上調了對2026年和2027年每股收益的預期。

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.
