-- 瑞士股市本周开局低迷，瑞士市场指数周一收盘下跌1.45%，原因是美伊之间地缘政治紧张局势再度升级，导致人们对中东战争达成和解的希望渺茫。 “今天清晨，美国拦截了一艘试图突破其海上封锁的伊朗货船，中东冲突升级，伊朗誓言报复。由于伊朗拒绝参与谈判，除非解除封锁，因此在周二停火协议到期前，第二轮谈判的前景仍然不明朗。”丹麦银行表示，“由于美伊双方将努力达成协议，本周市场可能仍将波动。如果石油不能尽快恢复通过霍尔木兹海峡的流通，油价可能会进一步上涨，再次突破每桶100美元。” 与此同时，本周瑞士经济议程上的唯一议题是3月份的贸易收支数据。此外，德国和欧元区4月份的ZEW经济景气指数以及英国3月份的通胀数据也备受关注。 在企业方面，礼来公司（LLY.SW）签署了一项最终协议，将以最高70亿美元的现金收购生物技术公司Kelonia Therapeutics，其中包括32.5亿美元的首付款以及后续的里程碑付款。该交易预计将于下半年完成，并将增强礼来在基因药物领域的实力。 “自体CAR-T疗法已显著改善了多种癌症患者的治疗效果，但由于生产、安全性和可及性方面存在诸多障碍，只有一小部分符合条件的患者能够真正接受治疗。Kelonia的体内平台有望改变这一现状，以更简便的即用型形式提供快速、持久的疗效，”礼来执行副总裁兼肿瘤业务总裁及企业业务发展主管Jacob Van Naarden表示。 “KLN-1010 的早期临床数据非常令人鼓舞，它既是多发性骨髓瘤患者治疗方面的一个潜在进步，也是 Kelonia 平台概念的验证。”

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.
