-- 瑞士股市本週開局低迷，瑞士市場指數週一收盤下跌1.45%，因為美伊之間地緣政治緊張局勢再度升級，導致人們對中東戰爭達成和解的希望渺茫。 「今天清晨，美國攔截了一艘試圖突破其海上封鎖的伊朗貨船，中東衝突升級，伊朗誓言報復。由於伊朗拒絕參與談判，除非解除封鎖，因此在周二停火協議到期前，第二輪談判的前景仍然不明朗。」丹麥銀行表示，「由於美伊雙方將努力達成協議，本週市場可能仍將波動 同時，本周瑞士經濟議程上的唯一議題是3月的貿易收支數據。此外，德國和歐元區4月的ZEW經濟景氣指數以及英國3月的通膨數據也備受關注。 在企業方面，禮來公司（LLY.SW）簽署了一項最終協議，將以最高70億美元的現金收購生物技術公司Kelonia Therapeutics，其中包括32.5億美元的首付款以及後續的里程碑付款。該交易預計將於下半年完成，並將增強禮來在基因藥物領域的實力。 「自體CAR-T療法已顯著改善了多種癌症患者的治療效果，但由於生產、安全性和可及性方面存在諸多障礙，只有一小部分符合條件的患者能夠真正接受治療。Kelonia的體內平台有望改變這一現狀，以更簡便的即用型形式提供快速、持久的療效，」禮來執行副總裁兼腫瘤業務總裁及企業發展主管。 “KLN-1010 的早期臨床數據非常令人鼓舞，它既有望成為多發性骨髓瘤患者的一大進步，也證明了 Kelonia 平台的可行性。”

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled
The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. 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.
