-- 周五,日本股市收盘上涨近1%,此前数据显示3月份通胀依然可控,这进一步巩固了市场对日本央行下周维持利率不变的预期。 日经225指数上涨近1%,或575.95点,收于59,716.18点。 剔除生鲜食品的核心消费者价格指数(CPI)在3月份同比上涨1.8%,与预期相符,并高于2月份的1.6%。尽管受中东紧张局势影响,燃料成本上涨,但能源补贴继续抑制了价格上涨压力。 数据显示,能源价格下降5.7%,跌幅小于上月,而不易腐烂食品的通胀有所缓解。剔除能源价格后的核心消费者价格指数上涨2.4%。 企业方面,第一三共(TYO:4568)股价下跌约10%,原因是该公司推迟发布盈利报告和五年计划,同时重新评估肿瘤药物供应计划。尽管该公司因外汇收益上调了全年盈利预期,但仍未能挽回颓势。 瑞萨电子(TYO:6723)股价下跌约5%,尽管该公司公布第一季度利润增长162%,营收也强劲增长,但该公司指出短期内市场波动较大,仅发布了六个月的业绩展望。 软银集团(TYO:9984)股价上涨2%,此前有报道称,其移动业务部门计划将大阪工厂的一部分改造成大型电池生产基地,以支持人工智能数据中心。

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.
