摩根士丹利稱,聯合租賃公司仍是美國建築業首選股之一。

-- 摩根士丹利週五表示,聯合租賃公司(URI)第一季業績反映出優於預期的基本面,該公司仍然是美國建築業的首選股之一,這得益於其在終端市場極具吸引力的佈局、自主成本控制措施以及較為保守的全年業績指引。 該公司表示,第一季租金水準保持正成長,主要得益於車隊生產力的顯著提升。報告指出,這提振了市場信心,並有助於緩解市場對日益激烈的競爭的擔憂。 該券商表示,第一季強勁的息稅折舊攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)利潤率(約50%)也顯示公司業務穩健,增強了市場對其自主成本控制措施的信心,並提高了潛在回報。 即使按照最高的預期,聯合租賃公司的全年業績指引也體現了其上行潛力,並考慮到當前宏觀經濟的不確定性,也體現了合理的保守態度。報告指出,該公司預計第二季至第四季營收成長將溫和加快,約8%,高於第一季的7%。 摩根士丹利認為,隨著聯合租賃公司(United Rentals)越來越傾向大型項目,其營收表現可能持續優於市場平均水準。 該券商將聯合租賃公司第二季銷售額預期從41.3億美元上調至42.3億美元,2026年全年銷售額預期從169.1億美元上調至172.6億美元,2027年全年銷售額預期從178.2億美元上調至183.5億美元。 摩根士丹利維持對聯合租賃公司的「增持」評級,並將目標股價從1,015美元上調至1,030美元。

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.
