-- 標普全球評級週一發布報告稱,中東衝突暴露了亞洲科技公司在應對成本上漲方面的能力不足。 該評級機構認為,高階晶片生產商在漲價時表現良好,這得益於良好的市場需求和對人工智慧資料中心的穩健投資。 然而,標普指出,消費性電子產品轉嫁成本的能力最弱,而電子產品製造商在曠日持久的戰爭中也將面臨需求疲軟的風險。 信用分析師凱西·賴表示,在標普的基本情境假設下,即霍爾木茲海峽的封鎖在4月份有所緩解,該地區被標普評級的科技公司擁有穩健的財務能力來抵禦衝擊。 賴表示,曠日持久的衝突將打擊大型科技公司的供應鏈,並影響電子產品製造商的利潤率和需求。 標普指出,大多數生產商以及物流公司都將面臨電力供應和一些關鍵原料中斷的風險。 評級機構表示,依賴從卡達和其他中東國家進口液化天然氣和石油的地區聚集了大多數先進的半導體製造商,其中台灣地區最為脆弱。 對於關鍵原料而言,氦氣由於其在半導體製造中的應用而最易受影響,但標普認為,領先企業擁有充足的氦氣庫存,足以抵消短期風險。 賴先生表示,擁有穩固供應鏈並在人工智慧市場進行投資的公司預計將維持其信用評級,而那些依賴大宗消費品領域的公司將面臨更大的壓力。

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.
