-- 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：PEG公佈2026年第一季調整後每股收益為1.55美元，高於去年同期的1.43美元（同比增長8.4%，高於市場預期8.5%），這主要得益於受監管基礎設施投資帶來的PSE&G利潤率提高以及客戶增長，但部分利息被更高的折舊和支出所抵消。 PSEG Power的收益成長主要得益於更高的實際電價和更低的運維成本，但被發電量下降所抵消。我們認為，該公司在第一季投入約8億美元資本支出後，預計2026年全年42億美元的資本支出目標。同時，PEG維持其長期目標，包括2026-2030年240億至280億美元的總資本支出以及6%-7.5%的費率基數複合年增長率。管理層重申了2026年每股收益預期為4.28美元至4.40美元，中位數約為7%。過去12個月，住宅用電和用氣用戶均成長約1%，我們認為這反映了監管投資計畫的持續有效執行。 2026年年度股息成長約6%至2.68美元。我們認為這一成長率在多元化公用事業同業公司中具有競爭力。

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.
