-- 新加坡统计局周四发布的数据显示，新加坡服务业企业预计4月至9月期间的经营环境疲软，其中4%的企业预期前景不容乐观。 餐饮服务业企业预计，由于物价上涨导致成本削减，加上节庆活动减少，其经营前景将较为疲软。 同样，运输和仓储业也预计在此期间市场信心将受到抑制。 零售业的经营环境可能更具挑战性。 与此同时，批发业则预测经营前景乐观，这主要得益于对可扩展仓储需求的增长。 服务业中，预计营业收入将下降的加权平均占比为1%，而就业前景预计将保持不变。

Research Alert: Posco Holdings Q1: Profit Surges As Battery Materials Losses Narrow Sharply
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:POSCO Holdings delivered strong Q1 2026 results with net profit surging KRW693B to KRW467B, revenue rising 6.1% Q/Q to KRW17,876B, and operating profit jumping to KRW707B from KRW13B. The turnaround was broad-based as Battery Materials losses narrowed to -KRW7B from -KRW157B and Infrastructure Business returned to KRW405B profit from a -KRW10B loss, though Steel operating profit declined 35.8% Q/Q on margin pressure. Key progress includes POSCO Argentina reaching 70% commercial utilization and securing 25kt supply agreements with SK On through 2028. The company announced a landmark JSW joint venture for a 6 Mtpa steel mill in India, its largest overseas investment with 2031 completion target. We believe POSCO's new shareholder return policy targeting 35%-40% of adjusted net profit through flexible dividends and buybacks, combined with low-carbon initiatives including a 2.5 Mtpa electrical furnace commissioning in June 2026, positions the company well for growth.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Rating On Shares Of Pentair Plc
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price to $115 from $130 following PNR's Q1 earnings print, valuing shares at 19.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $5.91 (revised down by $0.01; 2026 EPS view in line with previous forecast), slightly above the company's historical multiple average. We see the premium being justified given PNR's portfolio diversification efforts within the water technology space that we see reducing earnings volatility. While Q1 performance was in line with our own expectations, organic sales expansion was a point of concern as management warned of impending channel inventory corrections within the Pools business. Given that this segment is a leader in profitability, any declines in sales/mix could weigh on overall margin results. Despite Pool headwinds, we see PNR's margin trajectory remaining in an uptrend as Flow and Water Solutions build on margin gains through targeted productivity programs and pricing. We see Q1 headwinds being baked into shares and reiterate our Strong Buy view.
