杰富瑞表示,Scentre集团已为高通胀环境做好准备

-- 杰富瑞(Jefferies)周三在一份报告中指出,Scentre Group(ASX:SCG)在高通胀环境下占据有利地位,这得益于其租赁结构,其中约80%的专业租赁与消费者价格指数挂钩。 该公司近期公布,截至3月31日的三个月内,其投资组合中所有业务合作伙伴的总销售额同比增长5%,达到70亿澳元,主要得益于专业销售额5.3%的增长。 截至3月31日,其投资组合的入住率为99.8%,较去年同期增长20个基点。 该公司重申了其本财年运营资金目标,即每股至少0.2373澳元。这一目标基于其第一季度的运营业绩,相当于至少4%的增长。杰富瑞表示,考虑到今年诸多盈利挑战,这一业绩“值得称赞”。 这家金融服务公司表示,不利因素包括:2025财年部分出售Chermside和悉尼购物中心的股份导致股权稀释;Westfield Bondi耗资2.4亿澳元的重建项目;以及自今年起,由于Bondi项目为全资所有,预计项目收入将有所下降。 杰富瑞将Scentre Group的评级从“持有”上调至“买入”,并维持4澳元的目标价。 Scentre Group股价周四午盘上涨1%。

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.
