瑞銀表示,特斯拉資本支出增加最終將帶來更多收入。

-- 瑞銀證券週四在一份致客戶的報告中指出,特斯拉(TSLA)在人工智慧專案上的積極資本支出有望提振營收,但這些收益可能需要一段時間才能顯現。 特斯拉財務長瓦伊巴夫·塔內賈(Vaibhav Taneja)在周三晚間的財報電話會議上表示,這家電動車製造商目前的資本投資超過250億美元。他曾在1月表示,2026年的資本支出將「超過200億美元」。 同時,塔內賈週三也指出,特斯拉2026年剩餘時間的自由現金流將為負值。他告訴分析師,該公司正在為六家工廠支付費用,並增加了對人工智慧相關項目的投資,包括支援Robotaxi的基礎設施以及推出自主人形機器人Optimus。 塔內賈表示:“我們正處於一個非常大規模的資本投資階段,這個階段現在即將開始,並將持續幾年。” 儘管特斯拉公佈的第一季業績強於預期,但其股價週四盤中仍下跌了2.4%。 瑞銀分析師約瑟夫·斯帕克(Joseph Spak)等人寫道:“我們預計未來幾年特斯拉的資本支出將居高不下。特斯拉的實體人工智能項目蘊藏著巨大的潛在營收機會,但實現這些機會可能需要一段時間。” 斯帕克表示,特斯拉公佈的第一季資本支出為24.9億美元,預示今年剩餘時間的資本支出將「大幅增長」。 斯帕克還表示:“由於我們預計未來幾年資本支出將保持高位,我們認為未來幾年折舊可能會翻一番以上,從而對每股收益構成壓力。” 瑞銀重申了對特斯拉股票的「中性」評級,並將目標股價從352美元上調至364美元。 該券商將特斯拉2026年的每股盈餘預期從1.83美元上調至2美元,2027年的每股盈餘預期從2.35美元上調至2.43美元。 「總體而言,我們仍然認為目前的估值水準更能恰當地平衡長期機會與近期基本面和潛在資金流動方面的擔憂,」斯帕克表示。 在電話會議上,特斯拉執行長馬斯克表示,公司增加資本投資「完全合理」。 「我認為你們已經看到,即使不是全部,至少大多數大型科技公司都在大幅增加資本投資,我們也將這樣做,」他告訴分析師。 “我認為這將帶來巨大的回報。因此,我們正在投資並改進我們的核心技術,包括電池、動力系統、人工智慧軟體、人工智慧訓練、晶片設計和製造,為大幅提高生產能力奠定基礎。”

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
