歐洲、中東和非洲地區天然氣最新動態:首艘液化天然氣運輸船通過霍爾木茲海峽,價格下跌

By

-- 週二盤後交易中,歐洲天然氣期貨價格小幅走低,此前,自中東衝突爆發以來,首艘液化天然氣(LNG)運輸船經霍爾木茲海峽駛離波斯灣的消息成為新聞焦點。 荷蘭TTF近月合約下跌2.19%,至每兆瓦時43.67歐元(51.12美元);英國NBP合約下跌2.83%,至每熱量單位107.65便士(1.45美元)。 儘管伊朗最新的外交提議未能緩解人們對霍爾木茲海峽(全球能源咽喉要道)的擔憂,但價格仍然下跌。據報道,美國官員正在審查該提議,但重申其核心要求保持不變。 據報道,該提議將重新開放霍爾木茲海峽與華盛頓解除對伊朗港口的限制掛鉤,並將核談判推遲到後期。此前,雙方週末在巴基斯坦舉行的第二輪會談破裂,隨後雙方都退出了會談。 然而,航運數據顯示海上運輸中斷情況有所緩解。根據多家媒體引述的船舶追蹤數據顯示,自2月28日衝突爆發以來,首艘滯留在波斯灣的液化天然氣運輸船似乎已於週一經霍爾木茲海峽駛離。 媒體報道稱,這艘懸掛利比里亞國旗、隸屬於阿布達比國家石油公司(ADNOC)的液化天然氣運輸船「穆巴拉茲號」於3月初在ADNOC的達斯島碼頭裝載了貨物。 在波斯灣內停滯數週,並於3月31日左右遭遇信號中斷後,這艘載有約132,890至137,000立方米液化天然氣的船舶於週一在印度以西海域重新出現。據VesselFinder.com網站稱,該船目前正駛往中國天津,預計將於5月14日抵達。 波斯灣的大部分液化天然氣出口都流向亞洲,但隨著歐洲在冬季供暖季節到來之前重建庫存,全球供應緊張的任何緩解都將使歐洲受益。根據歐洲天然氣基礎設施協會(Gas Infrastructure Europe)週二發布的數據,歐盟地下天然氣儲存量目前為總容量的31.75%,低於去年同期的38.42%。 根據彭博社報道,美國能源資訊署(EIA)週二公佈的數據顯示,截至4月24日當週,荷蘭液化天然氣(LNG)期貨均價為每百萬英熱單位(MMBtu)14.80美元,較2月底上漲35%。 在亞洲,同期日韓市場近月合約價格上漲51%,至每百萬英熱單位16.02美元。相較之下,受國內供應充足和出口擴張有限的影響,美國亨利樞紐天然氣價格自2月28日以來下跌了9%。

Research Alert: Waste Management: Broad-based Margin Gains Support Q1 Beat

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:WM's Q1 results exceeded expectations, with operating EPS of $1.81 (up 8.4% Y/Y) vs. consensus of $1.74, driven by better-than-anticipated margin execution. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 70 bps to 29.8%, with Recycling and Renewable segments showing impressive gains of 370 bps and 790 bps, respectively. We believe operational efficiency initiatives are paying dividends as WM invests in technology and automation to optimize its cost structure, a trend that should continue supporting margin expansion in 2026 and beyond. Core pricing remained robust at 6.3%, reflecting WM's pricing power as the company shifts toward higher-margin contracts. WM completed three recycling facilities during the quarter, adding nearly 300K tons of processing capacity in growing markets. We see newer automated facilities as making this business more profitable. Healthcare Solutions integration was notable, with adjusted EBITDA growing 11.6% despite slight revenue decline, driven by SG&A cost management and synergy capture.

Research Alert: Essex Property Trust, Inc. Post Ffo Beat And Revenue In Line

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ESS delivered solid Q1 2025 results, with FFO of $4.17 per share, $0.21 above consensus, and same-property revenue growth of 2.9%. Cash NOI grew 4.3% Y/Y due to rental revenue of $482M, with average monthly rent up 2.2% to $2,719. We believe the West Coast multifamily market is showing modest growth, with Northern California leading the recovery at 3.9% same-property revenue growth, followed by Seattle Metro at 2.3% and Southern California at 2.2%. Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance, with FFO expected at $15.69-$16.19 per share and same-property revenue growth of 1.7%-3.1%. ESS increased its annual dividend by 0.8% to $10.36 per share, marking the 32nd consecutive annual increase, while repurchasing $61.9M in shares YTD. We like the portfolio's performance trajectory amid the ongoing West Coast market recovery, though operating expenses continue outpacing revenue growth at +2.5% to +3.5%. This leads to cash NOI of only +0.8% to +3.4% with the midpoint at +2.1% Y/Y.

Research Alert: Eix Q1: Rate Increase Offsets Cost Recovery Non-recurral; Growth Targets Weak

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Edison International reported Q1 2026 core EPS of $1.42 vs. $1.37 prior year, driven by 2025 General Rate Case rate relief, partially offset by the absence of $0.30 per share interest expense benefits from TKM Settlement Agreement cost recoveries. GAAP EPS declined to $1.38 from $3.73 due to the absence of $908M in prior-year non-core benefits. Operating revenue increased 7.7% to $4,103M while cash flow from operations grew 16.6% to $1,427M, though interest expense rose substantially to $524M from $301M due to capital funding requirements. Management affirmed 2026 core EPS guidance of $5.90-$6.20 and maintained confidence in 5%-7% core EPS growth from 2025 to 2030. We think the company's long-term EPS goals are overly optimistic as we forecast EPS growth closer to the 3%-4% range, suggesting EIX has the lowest earnings trajectory among peers with an 8.9% average, making even the 5%-7% target appear uncompetitive, in our view.
