-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師總結如下：杜克能源公佈2026財年第一季調整後每股收益為1.93美元，較去年同期成長9.7%，高於市場預期0.13美元。這主要得益於基礎設施投資監管復甦和有利的天氣條件，但部分被營運費用上升所抵消。營收成長11.3%至91.78億美元，其中受監管的電力收入成長7.39億美元，但經天氣因素調整後的零售電力銷售額下降0.5%，顯示潛在需求疲軟。我們認為，該公司本季完成的53億美元策略交易有助於優化資產負債表，並推動其長期成長。管理層重申了2026年調整後每股收益預期為6.55美元至6.80美元，並表示有信心從2028年開始實現該預期區間上半部分的盈利目標。公司根據電力服務協議新近獲得的7.6吉瓦經濟發展項目，鞏固了其到2030年5%至7%的長期增長率，我們認為，儘管短期需求面臨不利因素，但這仍然支撐了該投資邏輯。

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Aptiv Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target to $80 from $110, based on a 2027 P/E of 12.0x, a justified discount to APTV's 10-year forward P/E multiple of 23.6x. After adjusting our estimates for the recent Versigent spin-off, we lower our adjusted EPS estimates to $6.25 from $8.60 for '26 and to $6.65 from $9.30 for '27. We are maintaining our Strong Buy opinion on the shares, as the remaining company is a higher-margin business following the spin-off of the former Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) segment. EDS generated much lower margins than the rest of Aptiv (an adjusted operating margin of 7.6% vs. 12.1% for the consolidated company in 2025). While APTV maintained prior full-year guidance, we think the guidance will prove conservative after a much better-than-expected Q1, and the stock remains one of our top picks in the auto parts and equipment sub-industry. We continue to like APTV's history of conservative guidance, strong execution, solid new business backlog, and aggressive share repurchases.

TSX Edges up 16 Points at Midday With Most Sectors Higher, Info Tech Falls
The Toronto Stock Exchange is up 15 points at midday with most sectors higher.The best performers are miners and healthcare, both up 2%, followed by energy, up 1.3%.Offsetting gains is info tech, which is down 3.9%. Shopify (SHOP.TO) which reported its first-quarter earnings this morning, is down 12.5% to $151.60, with 2.4 million shares being traded. The company's second-quarter profit outlook missed expectations as it projected operating expenses of between 35% and 36% of revenue.In other news, focus was on the release of Canadian trade data for March, which CIBC described as "surging and glittering". The bank noted a $1.8 billion goods trade surplus compared with a $5.1 billion deficit in the prior month and consensus expectations for a $2.5 billion shortfall. Total exports surged by 8.5%, driven almost exclusively by metals and energy. Excluding those two areas, exports were up by a much more modest 1.1%. Auto exports rebounded further from January's low (+4.5%) but remained roughly 20% down on a year-over-year basis. Adding in services trade, which was fairly balanced in March, Canada's total trade balance with the world moved from a deficit of $5.0 billion in February to a $1.7 billion surplus.CIBC said: "While a trade surplus in March was unexpected, it was mainly driven by price fluctuations rather than any signs that real economic activity was stronger than anticipated. Combined with signs last week that higher gasoline prices may already be having a negative impact on consumer spending, we continue to expect only modest GDP growth this year and little evidence that slack within the economy is being absorbed. That should see the Bank of Canada look through a near-term spike in headline inflation, keeping interest rates on hold this year."
