-- 根據週四發布的財報,樂購(Tesco,股票代碼:TSCO.L)2026財年盈利增長,但鑑於中東地緣政治風險加劇,該公司對未來一年的業績發出警告。 截至2月22日的52週內,樂購調整後營業利潤為31.5億英鎊。為因應伊朗戰爭帶來的經濟不確定性,這家連鎖超市業者將2027財年的獲利預期範圍擴大至30億至33億英鎊。此外,樂購還計劃透過其「儲蓄投資計畫」(Save to Invest program)額外節省5億英鎊,用於持續投資提升顧客體驗。 伯恩斯坦公司指出,在樂購「強勁的業績」中,此次獲利預期調整是「唯一的謹慎之處」。 「該指引的下限可能引發市場恐慌,而31.5億英鎊的中點低於市場普遍預期的32億英鎊——我們認為,鑑於中東戰爭的局勢,為了避免被指責牟取暴利,這是一個謹慎保守的指引。我們認為,隨著食品通膨和燃油價格上漲,他們至少應該能夠達到該區間的上限。 [資本支出]預計為16億英鎊(去年為15億英鎊)。 截至2026年2月28日的53週內,樂購(Tesco)的歸屬於股東的利潤躍升至17.9億英鎊,高於截至2025年2月22日的52週的16.3億英鎊。商品及服務銷售收入也從699.2億英鎊增至737.1億英鎊,同店銷售額較去年同期成長3.5%。 樂購報告稱,以固定匯率計算,52週內的銷售額成長4.3%至665.9億英鎊,其所有營運部門均實現成長。樂購補充道,在持續投資於客戶服務以應對英國日益激烈的競爭之際,集團銷售「持續成長」。按地區劃分,英國和愛爾蘭以5%的固定匯率總銷售額成長領先,其次是中歐(3.7%)和布克(0.6%)。 「我們致力於盡一切努力降低每週購物成本。鑑於中東衝突給消費者和整體經濟帶來更多不確定性,這一承諾比以往任何時候都更加重要。過去一年,儘管受到新規帶來的成本壓力,我們仍加大了在保持低價、進一步提升質量和提供更優質服務方面的投入。因此,顧客選擇更多地在我們這裡購物,使我們多年來的市場份額達到了十肯·墨菲。 在此背景下,樂購董事會提議發放每股0.097英鎊的末期股息,高於去年同期的每股0.0945英鎊。此次派息計畫將全年股利提高5.8%,達到每股0.145英鎊,符合公司調整後每股收益50%的股利分配政策。 截至週四中午,這家在倫敦上市的股票上漲了2%。

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.
