智库称,放松欧洲航空业脱碳规则将加剧长期能源不安全问题。

-- 智库“交通与环境”(Transport & Environment)周二表示,尽管燃油成本不断上涨,欧洲仍应抵制削弱其排放交易体系和其他航空脱碳举措,因为这将使化石燃料在航空业的依赖时间更长。 该智库指出,在伊朗战争之后,一些业内人士正在游说反对排放交易体系和“再燃料欧盟”(ReFuelEU)计划,以降低燃油价格上涨带来的成本。 “交通与环境”认为,这些方案是实现能源独立和安全的“重要蓝图”。该智库表示:“现在削弱这些立法只会加深航空业对全球石油冲击的依赖。” 欧盟约95%的原油依赖进口,其航空燃油则混合使用本地提炼和进口两种形式,其中大部分进口燃油来自中东。 该智库还指出,欧盟约30%的航空燃油供应,无论是精炼的还是原油,都需要经过现已关闭的霍尔木兹海峡。 航空公司因需绕开不安全空域而被迫更改航线,燃油短缺导致大量航班取消,燃油成本也随之飙升。报告指出,可持续航空燃料(SAF)的价格也在飞涨。 交通与环境组织表示,减少航班数量可以在短期内显著降低航空业对全球石油需求的“巨大”贡献,并称可持续航空燃料是保障长期能源安全的“战略选择”。 交通与环境组织认为,不应削弱可持续航空燃料的强制性要求,而应加强这些要求,以确保欧洲长期的能源独立。

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.

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.
