瑞銀稱，儘管美國用戶提前漲價，Netflix可望超2026年業績預期。

-- 瑞銀證券週四在電子郵件報告中指出，由於提價提前生效的影響逐漸顯現，Netflix (NFLX) 全年業績可能超出其自身預期。 上個月，該公司提高了在美國的各項服務價格，包括將含廣告的標準套餐價格從每月 7.99 美元提高到 8.99 美元。不含廣告的標準套餐價格上漲 2 美元至每月 19.99 美元，而高級套餐價格則從之前的 24.99 美元上漲至 26.99 美元。 瑞銀分析師 John Hodulik 等撰文指出，這些漲價為 2026 年的業績預期提供了上行空間。 瑞銀預計，2026 年 Netflix 的固定匯率營收成長率為 14%，毛利率為 32.6%，而先前的預期為營收成長 11% 至 13%，毛利率為 31.5%。 美國銀行證券先前表示，Netflix最近一輪的漲價凸顯了這家串流媒體巨頭的定價權。 瑞銀的報告指出，該公司可能會在其他主要市場推出更多漲價措施，預計將提升每位會員的平均收入。 Hodulik表示，含廣告和不含廣告套餐之間不斷擴大的價格差距，以及與包括亞馬遜(AMZN)在內的公司建立新的需求方平台關係，可能會使Netflix的廣告收入在2026年翻一番。 Hodulik補充道：“儘管Netflix在美國電視總收視份額持續緩慢增長，但鑑於免費廣告支持電視的增長，其串流收視份額仍然面臨壓力。” 今年2月，Netflix放棄了收購華納兄弟探索頻道(WBD)的計劃，後者現在將被派拉蒙天空之舞(PSKY)收購。 「隨著華納兄弟的收購計劃告吹，我們相信Netflix今年仍將受益於其強大的內容陣容，包括旗下收視率排名前20的劇集中的四部回歸、《戰爭機器》和《撕裂》等新電影、不斷增加的現場活動以及電子遊戲業務的蓬勃發展，」霍杜利克表示。 週四，Netflix股價在最近的交易中上漲了2.5%。

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.
