电信公司爱立信第一季度利润受重组成本和汇率不利因素影响

-- 根据周五发布的消息,爱立信(ERIC-B.ST、ERIC-A.ST、ERIBR.HE)第一季度利润同比下降,主要受重组费用和不利汇率波动的影响。 截至3月31日的三个月,这家电信集团的归属于股东的净利润为8.88亿瑞典克朗,低于去年同期的41.5亿瑞典克朗,也低于FactSet此前预测的35.7亿瑞典克朗。每股收益从1.24瑞典克朗降至0.27瑞典克朗。 尽管报告的净销售额从550.3亿瑞典克朗降至493.3亿瑞典克朗,但该公司实现了6%的同比增长,反映出所有业务部门的强劲表现。FactSet调查的分析师此前预计销售额为509.2亿瑞典克朗。 前三个月,爱立信调整后毛利率从48.5%降至48.1%,而报告毛利率为47.2%,略低于前期的48.2%。集团指出,云软件和服务部门的利润率有所提升,而网络业务的利润率则略有下降。 “多年来,我们致力于构建一个具有韧性且多元化的供应链,这使我们能够在地缘政治和宏观经济不确定性的背景下,持续为客户提供服务。我们正面临不断上涨的投入成本,尤其是在半导体领域,部分原因是人工智能需求的增长。我们的目标是通过与客户和供应商紧密合作,以及采取产品替代和提高效率的措施来应对这些挑战。”首席执行官兼总裁博尔耶·埃克霍尔姆表示。他还补充道,公司专注于企业级和关键任务型业务,即使在无线接入网市场预期“趋于平稳”的情况下,也能增强其长期增长势头。 与此同时,爱立信计划启动一项价值150亿瑞典克朗的股票回购计划,旨在分配过剩流动性并履行其股权激励计划下的义务。该回购计划将于2026年4月23日至2027年3月31日期间实施,B类股票的回购将由一家独立公司执行。公司将回购规模限制在已发行股份总数的10%以内,并计划注销所有非激励计划所需的股份。 周五午后交易时段,爱立信股票在斯德哥尔摩上涨超过1%,在赫尔辛基小幅上涨。

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.
