據報道,以色列發動攻擊後,伊朗暫停了石化產品出口。

-- 根據多家媒體通報,在以色列襲擊伊朗石化設施後,伊朗已暫停所有石化產品出口,以優先滿足國內需求並抑制價格波動。 據報道,伊朗最高國家安全委員會已發布指令,禁止出口直至另行通知,以防止下游產業所需原料短缺。 伊朗新聞社率先通報了出口暫停的消息,並引用了伊朗國家石化公司一位高級官員致各石化企業執行長的一封信函。 根據ICIS報道,以色列4月4日和6日的襲擊破壞了阿薩盧耶和馬赫沙赫爾等主要石化生產中心的管道和電力供應。 路透社通報稱,儘管供應中斷且全球價格上漲,但伊朗政府仍將國內石化產品價格維持在戰前水平,以支持消費者。 停止石化產品出口的指令是在美國於4月13日開始封鎖霍爾木茲海峽後發布的。此次封鎖旨在限制伊朗的出口。 伊朗國家石化公司尚未回覆的置評請求。 伊朗是甲醇、氨、尿素、塑膠和聚合物等化學品的主要生產國,據報道,該國每年出口約2,900萬噸石化產品。

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.
