-- （第八段更新了沙特阿美公司的回应。） 路透社周四援引三位消息人士的话报道称，尽管日输油量达700万桶的东西输油管道遭到袭击，沙特阿拉伯延布港的原油运输仍在继续。 管道袭击发生后，红海码头的货物装载仍在继续，两名买家和一名贸易消息人士表示，出口业务目前未受到直接影响。 一位业内人士周三告诉路透社，伊朗在停火协议签署后不久发动了此次袭击，目标是这条作为沙特阿拉伯主要替代出口通道的管道。 该消息人士表示，预计管道输送将受到影响，当局仍在评估事件造成的损失程度。 随着霍尔木兹海峡面临实际关闭，海湾地区的石油运输受到限制，出口依赖性转向红海，延布已成为一个重要的出口通道。 报告援引Kpler的数据称，延布港3月份的平均原油装载量约为330万桶/日，较2月份的约80万桶/日大幅增长，该港口具备高达500万桶/日的出口能力。 报告还指出，沙特阿美公司正将约200万桶/日的原油从管道输送至其位于沙特阿拉伯西部的炼油厂。 沙特阿美公司拒绝就的置评请求置评。 （市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源，但可能包含传闻和推测。准确性无法保证。）

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 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.
