-- 日本經濟產業省(METI)週四公佈的數據顯示,3月日本工業生產指數年增,但經季節性調整後季減。 經濟產業省報告稱,受化工和石油生產疲軟的影響,3月份日本工業生產年增2.3%,但經季節性調整後季減0.5%。 經濟產業省補充道,3月工業出貨量年增2%,但經季節性調整後較上季下降1.1%。 經濟產業省表示,3月產出萎縮的產業包括化工、石油和煤炭,以及通用和商用機械。 3月產出擴張的產業包括鋼鐵和有色金屬、電子零件和設備以及塑膠。 然而,經濟產業省表示,受訪者預計4月工業產出將比3月成長2.1%。 經濟產業省的調查結果與標普全球近期發布的產業報告基本一致。 根據標普全球報道,日本製造業採購經理人指數(PMI)從2月創下的45個月高點53.0下滑至3月的51.6,但仍高於50的榮枯分界線。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Extra Space Storage
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target price by $5 to $125, 15.5x our 2026 P/FFO estimate, below self-storage peers (16.7x) given EXR's weak NOI growth outlook and elevated debt levels. We decrease our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.20 to $8.04 and lower 2027 by $0.21 to $8.31. Despite a stronger Q1 same-store performance than expected, management did not increase guidance, which we believe is due to macroeconomic factors that are affecting new customer demand growth (primarily higher gas prices and inflation). These trends have been more pronounced in Sun Belt markets (similar to all self-storage REITs), as the excess supply has severely limited rental growth in the past 18 months. We believe 2H 2026 will have weaker same-property performance, even if the macroeconomic environment improves due to stronger Y/Y comps from 2H 2025. We also see a new risk that PSA's partnership with Welltower Inc (WELL) may negatively impact EXR's value proposition for its third-party management platform.
