-- 根據多家新聞報導所引用的船舶追蹤數據顯示,自2月28日衝突爆發以來,首艘被困波斯灣的滿載液化天然氣(LNG)運輸船似乎已於週一成功經霍爾木茲海峽脫困。 據媒體報道,這艘懸掛利比里亞國旗、隸屬於阿布達比國家石油公司(ADNOC)的LNG運輸船「穆巴拉茲號」於3月初在達斯島裝載了貨物。 ADNOC尚未回覆的置評請求。 在波斯灣沉寂數週,並於3月31日左右遭遇信號中斷後,這艘載有約132,890至137,000立方米LNG的船舶於週一在印度以西海域重新出現。 根據 VesselFinder.com 報導,這艘油輪目前正在前往中國天津的途中,預計將於 5 月 14 日抵達。 同時,全球能源市場正密切關注霍爾木茲海峽的動向。由於伊朗和美國相互封鎖,過去兩個月來,該海峽的通行量已驟降至幾乎為零。 這條關鍵航道承擔著全球約五分之一的液化天然氣 (LNG) 供應,其關閉導致市場供應嚴重緊張,價格也大幅上漲。 儘管穆巴拉茲的舉動可能引發人們對該地區 LNG 出口恢復的猜測,但報導稱,海灣地區的其他船隻似乎仍在原地等待。衝突爆發前,每天大約有三艘滿載 LNG 的運輸船通過霍爾木茲海峽。 雖然 4 月初的追蹤數據顯示一艘空載 LNG 油輪駛離了該海峽,但此次確認的滿載 LNG 油輪可能通過該海峽是首次。 根據彭博社報道,此前幾艘載有卡達液化天然氣的船隻試圖接近海峽,但由於美伊緊張局勢持續,這些船隻被迫放棄並返回。

Research Alert: Waste Management: Broad-based Margin Gains Support Q1 Beat
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:WM's Q1 results exceeded expectations, with operating EPS of $1.81 (up 8.4% Y/Y) vs. consensus of $1.74, driven by better-than-anticipated margin execution. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 70 bps to 29.8%, with Recycling and Renewable segments showing impressive gains of 370 bps and 790 bps, respectively. We believe operational efficiency initiatives are paying dividends as WM invests in technology and automation to optimize its cost structure, a trend that should continue supporting margin expansion in 2026 and beyond. Core pricing remained robust at 6.3%, reflecting WM's pricing power as the company shifts toward higher-margin contracts. WM completed three recycling facilities during the quarter, adding nearly 300K tons of processing capacity in growing markets. We see newer automated facilities as making this business more profitable. Healthcare Solutions integration was notable, with adjusted EBITDA growing 11.6% despite slight revenue decline, driven by SG&A cost management and synergy capture.
Research Alert: Essex Property Trust, Inc. Post Ffo Beat And Revenue In Line
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ESS delivered solid Q1 2025 results, with FFO of $4.17 per share, $0.21 above consensus, and same-property revenue growth of 2.9%. Cash NOI grew 4.3% Y/Y due to rental revenue of $482M, with average monthly rent up 2.2% to $2,719. We believe the West Coast multifamily market is showing modest growth, with Northern California leading the recovery at 3.9% same-property revenue growth, followed by Seattle Metro at 2.3% and Southern California at 2.2%. Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance, with FFO expected at $15.69-$16.19 per share and same-property revenue growth of 1.7%-3.1%. ESS increased its annual dividend by 0.8% to $10.36 per share, marking the 32nd consecutive annual increase, while repurchasing $61.9M in shares YTD. We like the portfolio's performance trajectory amid the ongoing West Coast market recovery, though operating expenses continue outpacing revenue growth at +2.5% to +3.5%. This leads to cash NOI of only +0.8% to +3.4% with the midpoint at +2.1% Y/Y.
Research Alert: Eix Q1: Rate Increase Offsets Cost Recovery Non-recurral; Growth Targets Weak
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Edison International reported Q1 2026 core EPS of $1.42 vs. $1.37 prior year, driven by 2025 General Rate Case rate relief, partially offset by the absence of $0.30 per share interest expense benefits from TKM Settlement Agreement cost recoveries. GAAP EPS declined to $1.38 from $3.73 due to the absence of $908M in prior-year non-core benefits. Operating revenue increased 7.7% to $4,103M while cash flow from operations grew 16.6% to $1,427M, though interest expense rose substantially to $524M from $301M due to capital funding requirements. Management affirmed 2026 core EPS guidance of $5.90-$6.20 and maintained confidence in 5%-7% core EPS growth from 2025 to 2030. We think the company's long-term EPS goals are overly optimistic as we forecast EPS growth closer to the 3%-4% range, suggesting EIX has the lowest earnings trajectory among peers with an 8.9% average, making even the 5%-7% target appear uncompetitive, in our view.
