歐盟制裁另外46艘與俄羅斯影子石油船隊有關的船隻

-- 歐盟委員會週五表示,歐盟已對俄羅斯影子船隊的46艘船舶實施制裁,使被制裁船舶總數接近632艘。 歐盟已對俄羅斯實施了20項制裁措施,此次宣布這些船舶已被禁止進入歐盟港口,且不得再接受海上運輸服務。 歐盟針對油輪銷售引入了新的保障措施,以防止歐盟建造或出售的船舶進入俄羅斯影子船隊,其中包括強制性合約條款,禁止俄羅斯使用這些船舶。 歐盟也禁止為俄羅斯液化天然氣(LNG)油輪和破冰船提供維修服務,並允許歐盟公司終止與LNG接收站簽訂的長期合約。 歐盟委員會表示,最新的製裁方案也針對俄羅斯的摩爾曼斯克港和圖阿普謝港。 歐盟首次將第三國設施——印尼的卡里蒙石油碼頭——列入黑名單,理由是該設施與規避制裁有關。 該方案也為未來禁止海上運輸俄羅斯石油奠定了基礎,但需與七國集團協調。 金融措施將限制範圍擴大到另外20家俄羅斯銀行,使被歐盟市場拒於門外的俄羅斯銀行總數達到70家。歐盟也將目標對準了吉爾吉斯斯坦、寮國和阿塞拜疆的貸款機構,指控它們協助進行規避制裁或接觸俄羅斯國內金融資訊系統的交易。

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.

The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. 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.
