摩根士丹利表示,煉油利潤率不太可能很快恢復到衝突前的水準。

-- 摩根士丹利分析師在周五發給客戶的報告中指出,即使霍爾木茲海峽重新開放,煉油利潤率也不太可能很快恢復到衝突前的水平,原因包括煉油廠受損、貿易正常化需要時間以及重建庫存的必要性。 分析師表示,由於原油價差依然緊張,煉油公司第一季的財務表現將受到較低的煉油率、計畫內和計畫外維護以及衍生性商品市場不利因素的影響,但部分將會被強勁的副產品銷售所抵銷。 摩根士丹利表示,自伊朗衝突爆發以來,美國近期煉油利潤率已大致翻了一番,目前接近2022年和2023年的水準。 分析師將Phillips 66(PSX)的股票評級從「持股觀望」上調至「增持」。 他們表示,化學業務是該公司區別於同行業其他公司的關鍵因素,預計該業務板塊的收益將從3.52億美元增加到約11億美元。他們也將目標股價從147美元上調至174美元。 摩根士丹利維持對馬拉松石油公司(MPC)的「增持」評級,並將目標股價從200美元上調至233美元。同時,摩根士丹利維持對HF Sinclair(DINO)的「增持」評級,並將目標股價從57美元上調至66美元。 摩根士丹利維持對瓦萊羅能源公司(VLO)的「中性」評級,並將目標股價從182美元上調至222美元。同時,摩根士丹利維持對德雷克美國控股公司(DK)的「中性」評級,並將目標股價從38美元上調至40美元。 摩根士丹利維持對PBF能源公司(PBF)的「減持」評級,並將目標價從27美元上調至34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.
