-- 瑞士藍籌股指數週四收跌0.35%,跌幅擴大,投資人正在消化各主要市場最新公佈的經濟和企業數據。 瑞士聯邦統計局數據顯示,受石油產品和天然氣價格上漲的影響,瑞士3月生產者物價指數和進口價格指數季增0.2%。年比來看,生產者物價指數和進口價格指數下降了2.7%。 歐元區方面,歐盟統計局的最終數據顯示,3月份歐元區年通膨率從2月的1.9%上升至2.6%,而核心通膨率則從2.4%降至2.3%。英國2月實際國內生產毛額成長0.5%,此前1月的增幅經向上修正為0.1%。 回到國內和企業新聞方面,羅氏(RO.SW)同意以最高5.95億美元收購Saga Diagnostics,其中包括商業和監管里程碑付款,這將使羅氏獲得Saga的腫瘤信息分子殘留病灶檢測平台Pathlight。該交易預計將於第三季完成。收盤時,這家製藥公司的股價下跌了0.67%。 同時,百樂嘉利寶(BARN.SW)股價暴跌15.59%,此前該公司公佈上半年營收年減6.9%至1010247噸,而去年同期為72.9億瑞士法郎。儘管如此,該公司淨利潤仍有所成長。這家瑞士巧克力和可可產品集團預計,2026財年以當地貨幣計算的經常性息稅前利潤將下降15%左右,但同時指出,其獲利前景可能受到中東地區動盪局勢的影響。 「在本財年上半年,可可豆價格下跌,這對未來巧克力市場的發展勢頭來說是一個利好消息,也為強勁的自由現金流提供了支撐,」首席執行官海因·舒馬赫表示。 「然而,市場價格下跌的速度異常之快,加上競爭激烈的產能過剩、銷量下滑和供應中斷,都對息稅前利潤(EBIT)表現造成了影響,並調整了我們全年的盈利預期。目前,我們的首要任務是恢復銷量,引領市場重回增長軌道。我們眼下的重中之重是集中精力——在商業、運營和組織層面。」
