-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點總結如下：我們維持對芝加哥商品交易所(CME)未來12個月的目標價不變，仍為380美元，遠期本益比為29.1倍（基於我們對2027年盈利的預期），高於過去三年23.0倍的歷史平均水平，這主要得益於其強勁的利潤率和較低的競爭威脅。我們將2026年每股盈餘(EPS)預期從11.79美元上調至12.48美元，並將2027年每股盈餘預期調高0.54美元至13.06美元。我們的營收預測分別為71億美元和75億美元。 CME第一季營收、每日平均交易量和獲利均創歷史新高，展現了其強勁的營運表現。該公司成功應對了競爭壓力，我們預計其利潤率將在2026年實現成長。人工智慧帶來的威脅也尚未顯現，芝加哥商品交易所（CME）的市場數據和資訊服務部門（佔總收入的13%）已連續六個季度實現加速成長。儘管擁有諸多優勢，包括業內領先的利潤率和極低的人工智慧風險，但該股目前的遠期市盈率低於同行平均水平和CME的歷史平均水平，這為投資者創造了極具吸引力的買入機會。

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.

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.
