-- 据彭博社周五的分析显示,伊朗宣布霍尔木兹海峡开放后,至少有八艘油轮驶向该海峡,这表明人们对恢复航运抱有初步信心。 彭博社汇编的船舶追踪数据显示,伊朗宣布开放海峡后不久,五艘此前停泊在迪拜附近的油轮开始驶入该水道。 另有三艘位于海峡以西约70英里处的船只也开始驶向霍尔木兹,表明此前在海峡咽喉要道外等待的船只数量有所增加。 分析还指出,自冲突爆发以来,数百艘油轮一直滞留在波斯湾,运营商们仍在等待安全和通行条件方面的明确信息。 如果这种趋势能够持续,最新的油轮动向可能成为迄今为止最清晰的迹象之一,表明在经历了数周的中断后,非伊朗相关的航运正在恢复通过霍尔木兹海峡。 分析称,海峡的关闭导致石油、燃料和天然气价格大幅上涨,同时也迫使该地区的主要产油国削减产量。 尽管活动有所恢复,但伊朗媒体报道暗示,限制措施可能仍然有效,特别是针对与被视为敌对国家的船只或货物。 报道援引塔斯尼姆通讯社的消息称,根据现行规定,与被视为“敌对”国家的船只和货物将不被允许通过霍尔木兹海峡。 法尔斯通讯社援引消息人士的话称,如果美国海军封锁继续下去,通行可能会再次被禁止。该分析指出,此类行为将被视为违反停火协议。

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.

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.
