瑞銀表示，Brinker International將繼續推動Chili's的成長，利潤率或將隨時間推移而回升。

By

-- 瑞銀集團週五在一份報告中指出，隨著Chili's受益於超值優惠、營運改善、門市擴張和股票回購，Brinker International (EAT) 的銷售額和市場份額預計將持續增長，而短期利潤率壓力可能會隨著時間的推移而緩解。 瑞銀表示，儘管天氣不佳，Chili's預計仍將保持穩健的第三財季同店銷售額，Brinker目前的策略和領導層應有助於支撐其穩定成長。 這家投資公司表示，新的雞肉三明治平台、「買三送一」優惠、更強有力的營銷以及更佳的客戶體驗應能保持客流量和消費水平的健康增長。其近期的一項調查顯示，消費者對Chili's的需求強勁，這得益於其物美價廉、更優質的服務和不斷改進的菜單。 瑞銀表示，預計短期內餐廳利潤率將受到通貨膨脹、行銷支出、冬季風暴和勞動力成本等因素的影響；然而，隨著成本壓力緩解以及銷售成長和價格持續提振業績，利潤率預計將在長期內有所改善。 瑞銀維持對 Brinker 的買入評級和 190 美元的目標價，稱其股價仍有上漲空間，理由是盈利潛力穩健、單位增長速度加快、資產負債表強勁以及股票回購。

Asia Biofuels Update: Malaysian Palm Oil Diverges from Crude Oil on Weaker Exports, Stronger Ringgit

Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Monday, pulling away from crude oil prices, as weaker exports and a stronger local currency weighed on sentiment.Reversing the previous session's gains, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' May crude palm oil contract fell 0.66% to 4,487 Malaysian ringgit ($1,134.94) per metric ton. The June contract dropped by 0.96% to 4,521 ringgit/mt in midday trade.Malaysian shipments for the April 1-25 period reportedly declined 15.7% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.A stronger Malaysian ringgit, which rose against the US dollar by 0.28% on Monday, could further pressure exports as it makes them costlier.The recent drop in Malaysian shipments followed a 29.1% year-over-year rise in Q1 exports, as buyers advanced purchases due to the expected surge in shipping costs and as volumes of rival Indonesian cargoes softened due to higher export levies.Indonesia's move to raise its palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from 40% beginning July 1 could further lift Malaysian exports going forward.The Malaysia Palm Oil Council said Indonesia's B50 program could absorb an additional 3 million metric tons per year of palm oil. Annual domestic consumption in Thailand could also increase by 350,000 metric tons as the country moves to B7 from B5, while demand in Malaysia could rise by 300,000 mt as the government raises its biodiesel blend to B15 from B10.Rising biofuel demand, elevated crude oil prices, and supply risks from the potential development of an El Nino weather trend will support palm oil prices, with the MPOC projecting them at around 4,500 ringgit/mt in the near term."However, further gains are likely to be capped by softer export demand amid inflation and weaker economic growth in key importing countries, alongside rising stocks as palm oil production gradually enters its seasonal peak," the MPOC said.According to Jim Teh, senior palm oil trader at Interband Group of Co., as cited by Bernama, palm oil prices could trade between 4,200 ringgit/mt and 4,300 ringgit/mt this week due to profit taking.
