米イラン休戦への期待感から中国株は上昇、中国聯通は3%下落

-- 中国株は水曜日、米国とイランの停戦延長を受けて投資家が慎重ながらも楽観的な見方を示したことから、上昇基調を維持した。 中国株の主要指標である上海総合指数は0.5%(21.18ポイント)高の4,106.26、深セン成分指数は1.3%(195.15ポイント)高の15,177.29となった。 ロイター通信は水曜日、トランプ米大統領がイランとの停戦を無期限に延長し、さらなる和平交渉を可能にすると表明したことを受け、株価上昇に転じたと報じた。 ロイター通信によると、イランとイスラエルが停戦延長を遵守するかどうかはまだ不透明だが、投資家は安堵のため息をついたようだ。 南華先物アナリストの見解を引用した通信社によると、中東の地政学的リスクが徐々に緩和するにつれ、市場は地政学的緊張の影響にますます鈍感になっているという。 企業ニュースでは、中国聯合網絡(上海:600050)の株価は、第1四半期の利益が18%減の21億4000万元となったことを受け、終値で3%下落した。 中国石油化工(上海:600028)、通称シノペックの上海株は、傘下企業が電池大手寧徳時代新能源科技(上海:300750、香港:3750)の株式850万株(60億香港ドル相当)を売却したことを受け、1%下落したと複数のメディアが報じた。CATLの深セン株も1%近く下落した。

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.
