-- 摩根士丹利在周五發布的一份報告中指出，奧馳亞(MO)展現出強勁的盈利增長勢頭，並有望從雙重稅收減免中獲益，但結構性不利因素依然存在。 報告稱，該公司第一季每股盈餘(EPS)超出預期，表現“穩健”，並重申了其2026年全年業績指引，同時補充道，該公司目前的風險/回報狀況較為平衡。 報告指出，“我們認為其股價上調空間有限”，並提及該公司近期股價上漲，這得益於其持有的百威英博(Anheuser-Busch InBev)股份帶來的穩健財務靈活性、56億美元的資本損失以及約6%的股息收益率。 此外，報告也指出，該公司風險較低的投資組合規模有限，不太可能在中期內對其業績產生顯著影響。 報告也指出，自伊朗衝突爆發以來，汽油價格上漲並未對奧馳亞的菸草消費者行為產生影響，目前較高的退稅額緩解了消費者支出壓力。 摩根士丹利將該股的目標價從 62 美元上調至 71 美元，同時維持對該股的「持股觀望」評級。

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil closed lower Friday as Iran made a new peace proposal, however U.S. President Trump rejected the plan.WTI crude oil for June delivery closed down US$3.13 to US$101.94 per barrel, while July Brent oil was last seen down US$2.177 to US$108.23.Reuters reported Iran offered a new proposal to reach a peace deal with the United States. While details were not disclosed Trump rejected the plan, telling reporters he was not satisfied with the plan. However he confirmed indirect talks mediated by Pakistan are continuing by phone.Oil remains in short supply following the closure of the Strait, the chokepoint for exports from the Persian Gulf nations that accounted for 20% of daily demand. The lack of supply has pushed up crude oil prices by more than half since the Feb.28 start of the war amid shortages of crude oil and refined products, with Nymex gasoline futures up 81% since the war began while supplies of aviation are tightening.The supply crunch comes ahead of the May 23 start to the Memorial Day weekend, the traditional start of the summer driving season, when demand for fuel peaks, which is likely to push prices even higher."With summer demand season quickly approaching, we see a path for oil prices to exceed the 2022 and even 2008 highs, especially as sentiment may finally be shifting on the duration of the Hormuz blockage," Helima Croft, Head of Global Commodity Strategy and MENA Research at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.
GoDaddy (GDDY) reported a "very clean" Q1 and reiterated its full-year outlook even as the stock likely more priced for a guide down, RBC Capital Markets said in a note Friday.The report pointed to positives in the quarter, including bookings for its Applications and Commerce that decelerated in-line to 9% which was expected after last quarter's discounting."Discounting continues but is stable and given the AI concerns,A&C must maintain at least LDD growth rates going forward if the stock is to work," the note said.The report also said margins came in ahead, making the rest of the year look like a lay-up.RBC kept its outperform rating with a price target of $95.Price: $86.93, Change: $+0.13, Percent Change: +0.16%
CIBC Capital Markets reiterated its outperformer rating on the shares of Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust (PMZ-UN.TO) while raising its price target to C$22.00 from C$20.00 on Thursday, following PMZ's first quarter results on Wednesday.PMZ reported Q1 FFO/unit of $0.425 (-3.2% Y/Y), broadly in line with consensus, noted CIBC."Our 2027 FFO/unit estimate rises by near 2%, as we better reflect the improved leasing cadence on the ground," said CIBC, adding it $22 price target is based on an 11 times 2027 estimated FFO/unit multiple (10.2 times previously), translating to a 5% discount to the bank's revised one-year-out NAV (9% previously), "reflective of its risk, growth prospects, and leverage versus peers."CIBC also reiterated its belief that PMZ unitholders will benefit from occupancy improvements and rent growth over the long term. Tenant relationships for mall operators matter given the reach of their typically national tenant base, CIBC said. Controlling increasingly more productive assets through acquisition and organic growth will increase PMZ's importance to these national tenants, the bank added."PMZ's ability to fund its capex and distribution from its own rents and low balance sheet leverage drive a lower financial risk profile that offsets the risk of owning a higher-risk asset class in enclosed malls," added CIBC. Trading at an implied cap rate of near 8.7% on achievable forecasts, CIBC believes investors are being well compensated for the operating risks involved with owning PMZ units (e.g., anchor tenant transitions) versus the balance of the large-cap Canadian retail REIT universe (trading at estimated implied cap rates of 5.8%-7.1%)."CIBC noted on the call that Primaris will provide a detailed update on its HBC progress in the next 60 days, once it has a significant number of fully executed leases in place, and also that CRU leasing momentum "accelerated meaningfully" in Q1, with management highlighting record new deal volumes and pricing.Price: $19.01, Change: $+0.14, Percent Change: +0.74%
