-- 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：浦項鋼鐵控股（POSCO Holdings）公佈了2026年第一季強勁的業績，淨利從6930億韓元飆升至4,670億韓元，營收季增6.1%至17,760億韓元飆升至130億韓元躍升至7,070億元。業績全面好轉，電池材料業務虧損從1,570億韓元收窄至70億韓元，基礎建設業務也由虧損100億韓元扭虧為盈，實現獲利4,050億韓元。儘管鋼鐵業務的營業利潤因利潤率承壓而較上季下降35.8%。主要進展包括浦項鋼鐵阿根廷公司商業產能利用率達70%，並與SK On公司簽訂了2028年前每年2.5萬噸的供貨協議。該公司宣布與JSW公司成立一家具有里程碑意義的合資企業，將在印度建造一座年產能600萬噸的鋼鐵廠，這是其最大的海外投資項目，預計將於2031年完工。我們認為，浦項製鐵的新股東回報政策旨在透過靈活的分紅和股票回購，將調整後淨利潤的 35%-40% 返還給股東，再加上低碳舉措（包括計劃於 2026 年 6 月投產的 250 萬噸/年的電爐），使公司在成長方面處於有利地位。

Kyushu Electric Power Electricity Output, Sales Volume Down YOY
Japanese utility Kyushu Electric Power Thursday reported lower electricity generation and sales volume for the fiscal year ended March 31.Electricity produced from own facilities and received from other companies totaled 102.5 terawatt-hours, lower than the previous year's 106.8 TWh.Production from all sources decreased, with nuclear energy output declining the steepest by 2.2 TWh to 28.6 TWh, as utilization rate dropped 6.3% to 82.3%.Sales volume also softened year over year to 98.3 TWh from 101.0 TWh. Retail sales dropped 7 TWh to 68.6 TWh, more than offsetting a rise in wholesale volume by 4.2 TWh to 29.6 TWh."...although there was a decrease in retail electricity sales volume, there was an increase in profit compared to the previous year due to factors such as an increase in wheeling revenue, and a decrease in fuel costs resulting from lower power generation costs by changes in the energy mix of the thermal power generation," the company said.For the next fiscal year, the Japanese utility expects retail electricity sales to further drop by 1.5 TWh to 67.1 TWh. It projects wholesale volume to increase by around 800 gigawatt-hours to 30.4 TWh.These will result in a net reduction of about 800 GWh, bringing total electricity sales to 97.5 TWh.In terms of nuclear energy output, Kyushu Electric expects a 900 GWh rise to 29.5 TWh, driven by an increase in utilization rate by 2.4% to 84.7%.
