由于伊朗战争前景不明朗,Sainsbury's 2027财年业绩展望不及预期,股价下跌。

-- 由于中东冲突持续,英国连锁超市Sainsbury's(股票代码:SBRY.L)股价周四午盘下跌5%,该公司2027财年业绩指引低于市场预期。 据研究公司RBC Capital Markets的数据,这家英国连锁超市预计其2027财年基本营业利润总额将在9.75亿英镑至10.8亿英镑之间,低于市场普遍预期的11亿英镑。该集团还维持了零售自由现金流超过5亿英镑的预期,低于市场预测的5.51亿英镑。 尽管前景谨慎,但截至2026年2月28日的52周内,Sainsbury's的初步零售总额(不包括燃油)同比增长4.3%,达到299.9亿英镑。若计入燃油,零售总额则增长2.8%,达到335.5亿英镑。 Sainsbury's 旗下同名超市的销售额达到 258.8 亿英镑,较截至 2025 年 3 月 1 日的 52 周增长 4.9%。这一增长主要得益于食品杂货业务 242.6 亿英镑的出色表现,Sainsbury's 将此归功于其“Taste the Difference”系列产品以及“Nectar Prices”、“Aldi Price Match”和“Your Nectar Prices”等增值举措。 “在接下来的几个月里,我们将竭尽全力支持我们的顾客和员工,并将全力以赴保持低价。新财年开局良好,食品杂货业务持续强劲增长,”首席执行官 Simon Roberts 表示。他还指出,公司承诺向英国和爱尔兰的农民提供超过 50 亿英镑的资金,以在市场波动加剧的情况下加强供应链。 在资本配置方面,Sainsbury's 董事会建议派发每股 0.096 英镑的末期股息,略低于一年前的每股 0.097 英镑。拟议的股息分配方案将全年股息从一年前的每股0.136英镑提高至每股0.137英镑,该公司表示,此举符合其渐进式股息政策。 2027财年,该集团还计划回购价值3亿英镑的股票,其中包括2亿英镑的核心回购以及来自银行净处置收益的1亿英镑额外回报。 尽管对Sainsbury's的全年业绩持负面看法,但RBC仍认为该公司是英国食品零售领域的“强劲参与者”。该研究机构写道:“我们对该公司在提升性价比方面取得的进展感到鼓舞,我们认为,其在更好地展示食品系列、提供更精选的百货商品以及拓展门店面积等方面所做的努力,正在支撑其市场份额的良好增长。我们预计这一趋势将持续到2026年。”

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.
