-- 本周,标普500指数上涨3.6%,在伊朗和美国之间备受瞩目的和平谈判以及第一季度财报季到来之前,股市普遍上涨。 标普500指数本周收于6816.89点,连续第二周上涨。该指数4月份累计上涨4.4%,基本收复了3月份4.6%的跌幅。今年以来,该指数下跌0.4%。 本周初,美国和伊朗达成的为期两周的停火协议似乎正在维持,华盛顿和德黑兰的官员预计将于周六在巴基斯坦举行会晤,巴基斯坦曾协助促成停火。 下周也标志着第一季度财报季的非正式开始。 根据密歇根大学4月份的初步调查,美国消费者信心指数本月跌至历史最低点,反映出人们对物价上涨以及中东冲突带来的整体经济影响的担忧加剧。这项调查在宣布为期两周的停火之前基本完成。 美国劳工统计局的一份报告显示,由于中东冲突导致能源价格大幅上涨,美国3月份消费者通胀率加速攀升至近四年来的最高月度水平。数据显示,3月份能源价格环比增长约11%,其中汽油价格飙升21%,占整体涨幅的近四分之三。 除能源板块外,本周所有板块均上涨。通信服务和非必需消费品板块均上涨5.8%,科技板块上涨4.8%,工业板块上涨4.7%。材料板块也表现强劲,上涨3.5%,房地产和金融板块均上涨超过2%。公用事业、必需消费品和医疗保健板块也小幅上涨。 亚马逊(AMZN)是非必需消费品板块表现最佳的股票,上涨14%。该公司表示,其亚马逊网络服务(AWS)人工智能业务第一季度的年化收入超过150亿美元,并且“正在快速增长”。亚马逊首席执行官安迪·杰西在致股东的信中表示,AWS 有潜力实现更快的增长。 派拉蒙天空之舞 (PSKY) 是通信服务板块涨幅最大的公司,上涨 12%。该公司此前为收购华纳兄弟探索频道 (WBD) 而获得的 540 亿美元过桥贷款,由美国银行 (BAC)、花旗集团 (C) 和阿波罗全球管理公司 (APO) 提供,现已出售给更多银行,金额缩减至 490 亿美元。 英特尔 (INTC) 领涨科技板块,股价飙升 24%。英特尔和 Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) 旗下的谷歌扩大了一项多年合作协议,双方将使用至强处理器和定制基础设施处理单元开发人工智能和云基础设施。两家公司表示,英特尔的至强芯片将继续支持谷歌云系统在人工智能、推理和通用计算工作负载方面的应用。 能源板块是本周唯一下跌的板块,下跌 4.1%。 Phillips 66 (PSX) 领跌能源板块,股价下跌 9.6%。该公司表示,根据初步数据,受大宗商品价格飙升导致的 9 亿美元市值损失影响,预计其第一季度业绩将受到拖累。Phillips 66 在一份监管文件中称,大宗商品价格飙升还导致其衍生品头寸的现金抵押品净流出近 30 亿美元。 预计下周将有多家大型公司发布财报,包括高盛集团 (GS)、摩根大通 (JPM)、强生 (JNJ)、富国银行 (WFC)、花旗集团 (C)、贝莱德 (BLK)、美国银行 (BAC)、摩根士丹利 (MS)、Progressive (PGR)、奈飞 (NFLX)、百事可乐 (PEP)、雅培 (ABT) 和嘉信理财 (SCHW)。 经济数据将包括 3 月份的生产者价格指数、3 月份的成屋销售、进口价格、工业生产和产能利用率等报告。

Suncorp Group Sees Improved Earnings Stability Under New Reinsurance Structure, Jefferies Says

Suncorp Group (ASX:SUN) will benefit from reduced earnings volatility and improved capital efficiency following its new five-year aggregate reinsurance program, though growth forecasts have been modestly revised lower, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.Jefferies noted that the new reinsurance program, starting June 30, provides AU$800 million in annual catastrophe protection and up to AU$2.4 billion over five years, capping natural hazard costs at budgeted levels in about 90% of scenarios and reducing earnings volatility from extreme weather.The equity research firm said that the company's revised framework raises its fiscal 2027 natural hazard allowance to AU$1.85 billion and ties it to exposure growth following a AU$453 million first-half 2026 overrun, with the impact broadly neutral.The research firm stated that, despite differing economics from its peers, the company's underlying insurance trading ratio outlook remains steady at 10% to 12% at the top end of its range, with reported earnings expected to better reflect underlying performance as catastrophe volatility eases.The research firm slightly revised its forecasts, cutting gross written premium growth to about 3% from 3.8% due to foreign exchange effects in New Zealand and updating investment income and valuation assumptions, with earnings estimates adjusted within a range of negative 3% to 1% over the forecast period.Jefferies maintained a hold rating on Suncorp Group and raised the price target to AU$17.70 from AU$16.50.

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
