-- 日本のガラスメーカーであるAGC（東証：5201）は、世界的な二酸化炭素排出削減努力の減速と水素プロジェクトの遅延を受け、北九州市で建設中のグリーン水素部品製造施設の建設を中断したと、日経アジアが月曜日に報じた。 この化学工場はイオン交換膜の製造を目的としており、今年中に操業を開始する予定だった。同社は工場を拡張し、2030年度までに売上高300億円を達成する計画だったという。 AGCは、建設再開にあたり、今後の水素需要の状況を考慮するとしている。 （マーケットチャッターニュースは、世界中の市場関係者との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる場合があります。正確性は保証されません。）

Research Alert: Ingr: Tough Start To Year As Operational Disruptions Continue; Guidance Cut
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:INGR delivered disappointing Q1 results with adj. EPS of $2.34 (-21% Y/Y), missing consensus by $0.13, while net sales declined 1% to $1,792M, in line with expectations. Adj. operating income dropped 22% to $212M, with the Food & Industrial Ingredients - U.S./CAN segment particularly weak as operating income plunged 63% to $34M due to ongoing Argo facility disruptions. The company cut its 2026 outlook, now expecting adj. EPS of $10.45-$11.15 (from $11.00-$11.80) and net sales flat to up low single digits. Management indicated the Argo facility recovery has taken longer than expected following the 2025 thermal event, with sequential improvement anticipated in Q2 2026 and a return to normal operations targeted for H2 2026. We are disappointed with the results as our expectation was that the Argo facility issues would have been resolved by now, though we expect gradual improvement as operational challenges normalize in the second half.

Research Alert: It: Growth Metrics Fight Off Deceleration But Remain Stuck; Margins Impress
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:IT reported Q1 2026 sales of $1.51B (-1.5% Y/Y, -4.3% ex-FX), near consensus of $1.52B, with Insights (87% of total) flat Y/Y to continue a deceleration from +1% in Q4 and +4% in Q3. Non-GAAP EPS of $3.32 (+11%) beat Street estimates of $2.92, helped by Insights contribution margin expanding 110 bps Q/Q to 78.2% and strong buyback activity of $535M. Global CV growth remains stuck, growing by just 1.0% Y/Y to $5.3B, but these results improved from 0.8% in Q4, reversing a multi-quarter deceleration. We expect CV growth to improve from here on AskGartner momentum. Wallet retention of 77.7% (+20 bps Q/Q, -530 bps Y/Y) and Client retention of 85.0% (-30 bps Q/Q, +60 bps Y/Y) were largely unchanged Q/Q. FY 26 sales guidance was revised from >$6.455B to >$6.405B (-1% Y/Y), with Q1's weak Consulting results (-17%) contributing the entirety of the reduction, which may spook investors worried about AI competition. Still, IT raised its EPS forecast to >$13.25 (flat Y/Y) from >$12.30 prior, providing decent support.
