據報道,法國計劃每年投入120億美元,以減少對化石燃料的依賴。

-- 根據多家媒體報道,法國計畫在2030年將每年對電氣化的支持力度提高到約100億歐元(120億美元),旨在應對全球能源動盪,減少對進口化石燃料的依賴。 法國總理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科爾努表示,政府將把年度支持力度從約55億歐元提高到100億歐元,重點放在長期電氣化而非短期燃料補貼。 勒科爾努在電視演講中指出,儘管法國國內生產的電力價格顯著低於進口,但目前法國約60%的能源消耗依賴進口化石燃料。 通報稱,作為轉型策略的一部分,政府的目標是2030年以國內電力取代85太瓦時的天然氣消耗量,約佔進口量的20%。 相關措施包括每年新增約100萬台熱泵,並從明年開始逐步淘汰新建住宅大樓的瓦斯鍋爐。 勒科爾努補充道,預計到2050年,約有200萬套社會住宅將不再使用瓦斯暖氣。 法國也計劃大幅提高電動車的普及率,目標是到2030年,新車銷量中三分之二為電動車。 汽車製造商計劃在2027年將電動車年產量提高到40萬輛,並爭取2030年達到每年100萬輛。 政府也將從6月起推出電動車租賃補貼計劃,旨在幫助至少5萬個低收入家庭獲得電動旅遊服務。 政府表示,資金將從現有預算和效率提升中重新分配,而不是透過新增支出,有助於維持財政紀律目標。 官員強調要避免大規模的燃油補貼,認為此類措施成本高昂,主要惠及石油出口國,無法解決結構性能源挑戰。 這項政策轉變標誌著法國與以往危機時期的支持計畫有所不同,法國將長期電氣化作為優先事項,以穩定能源成本並提高抵禦能力。

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.
