研究快訊:康明斯:資料中心業務繁榮抵消了第一季卡車業務疲軟的影響

By

-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下:CMI第一季業績喜憂參半,營收成長3%至84億美元,但EBITDA利潤率從17.9%收窄至15.4%,反映出發電和卡車製造業務表現迥異。發電業務持續保持強勁成長勢頭,其中電力系統業務營收成長19%至20億美元,EBITDA利潤率提升至29.5%;配電業務營收成長7%至31億美元,利潤率也有所提高,這兩項業務均受益於資料中心對備用電源系統前所未有的需求。相反,卡車相關業務部門則面臨不利因素,引擎銷售額下降4%至27億美元,利潤率收窄至10.4%;零件銷售額下降5%至25億美元。管理層上調了全年業績預期,預計營收成長8%-11%(此前預期為3%-8%),EBITDA利潤率17.75%-18.50%(此前預期為17.0%-18.0%)。我們看到北美公路運輸市場已顯現出從低潮復甦的跡象,而發電需求的持續成長動能也支撐了這一上調後的業績預期,儘管目前仍處於年初階段。

TD Sees Higher Oil Prices Lifting Canada's Export Values in Q2

Canada's merchandise trade balance moved into a $1.8 billion surplus in March from a $5.1 billion deficit the prior month, said TD.Exports in March surged by 8.5% month over month following February's sturdy gain. Rapidly rising energy prices pushed crude oil exports up 18.9% month over month, while exports of unwrought gold, silver, and platinum rose by a sizeable 37.7% month over month.Meanwhile, exports of motor vehicles and parts (+4.5% month over month) rose again in March as they continued their recovery from January's depressed level. In total, seven of 11 product categories registered a gain.March's trade data showed some firming in headline activity, though all of the positive print in exports came from price impacts of higher oil prices, stated TD.With data up until March in the books, net trade still appears poised to subtract from Q1 2026 real gross domestic product growth, reflecting a broadly stronger quarter for imports.Looking ahead, higher oil prices should "meaningfully" lift nominal export values into Q2, helping to further improve the trade balance, accoridng to the bank.

UK Shares Drop as Holiday-shortened Week Starts with HSBC Earnings, Geopolitical Tensions

After a long weekend in the UK, the FTSE 100 closed 1.40% lower on Tuesday as corporate earnings continued to pour in against the backdrop of a fragile US-Iran ceasefire.British banking group HSBC (HSBA.L) dropped 5.86% after reporting first-quarter results that were described as "mixed" by BofA Global Research, with profit after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent edging up year over year to $6.94 billion from $6.93 billion."HSBC printed an ok set of Q126 numbers," BofA said. "[Pretax profit] ex notable items was in line with consensus, with income beat (from fees and other income) offset by higher costs and impairments. Banking [net interest income] was in line. We are encouraged by HSBC's continued balance sheet and Wealth fee income growth, and remain confident in management's ability to manage cost. While [expected credit loss] was noisy in Q1, we are not concerned about the fundamental credit quality of HSBC's loan book."On the upside, Intertek Group (ITRK.L) rose 5.95% to lead the blue-chip index after confirming it had received a third unsolicited, indicative and conditional proposal from Swedish private equity firm EQT, offering 58 pounds sterling per share in cash, up from prior rejected bids of 54 pounds per share and 51.50 pounds per share."We raise ITRK to Outperform and our [price target] by ~30% to GBP58.50 following announcements of a strategic review to potentially split the business in two and of potential private equity interest in the whole group," RBC Capital Markets said. "We think the status quo is the least likely outcome and think key protagonists have their eye on an eventual US listing of the core testing assets to sit alongside highly comparable, highly valued UL Solutions."In the economic corner, the UK's new car registrations surged 24% year over year to 149,247 units in April, according to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. The reading indicated a recovery in the car market from the negative tax change impact in 2025 and marked the best outturn since 2019, SMMT said."The mounting cost of compliance threatens to limit consumer choice, overall decarbonisation and the sector's competitiveness so the need for a rapid review of the transition to align policy with market realities is unchanged, else Britain's attractiveness as a vehicle market and manufacturing hub will be put at risk," said SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes.
