-- 独立研究机构CFRA向提供了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师总结如下：CHRW第一季度业绩喜忧参半，调整后每股收益同比增长15.4%至1.35美元，超出市场预期10%；营收持平于40亿美元，低于预期4000万美元。尽管营收面临挑战，调整后营业利润率仍增长30个基点至26.6%，员工人数减少12.3%，这得益于运营转型持续提升效率。该公司在NAST（北美标准运输量指数）中连续第12个季度实现市场份额增长，货运量与Cass Freight Shipment Index（卡斯货运量指数）6.2%的降幅持平，展现了其竞争优势。管理层严格的成本控制策略使运营支出减少2.3%至4.848亿美元，并通过股票回购和分红向股东返还了3.598亿美元。我们认为充满挑战的货运市场环境为 CHRW 提供了一个超越竞争对手的机会，因为货运量持续疲软和现货成本波动给同行带来了困难，而 CHRW 的转型使其能够在这种艰难的环境中获得市场份额。

African Oil Producers Push To Keep Drilling At Fossil Fuel Phaseout Talks
Oil-rich African nations said they will continue drilling to support economic growth, despite global efforts to phase out fossil fuels, AFP reported from ongoing talks in Colombia.Officials from several producers argued that a rapid transition away from oil and gas is not feasible given their reliance on fossil fuel revenues."Not phasing out - phase down. That is the message," said Onuoha Magnus Chidi, an adviser to Nigeria's regional development minister, to AFP.Delegates warned that an abrupt shift could lead to job losses and economic disruption, calling for financial support and policy flexibility to help manage the transition, AFP said.
