-- マレーシア株式市場は月曜日、米国とイラン間の緊張緩和の可能性やイスラマバードでの和平協議第2段階への期待感の高まりを受け、上昇幅を拡大した。 FTSEブルサ・マレーシアKLCI指数は7.09ポイント上昇し、0.4%高の1,702.30で取引を終えた。日中値幅は1,689.00から1,703.64だった。 経済ニュースでは、マレーシア統計局が発表したデータによると、3月のマレーシアの貿易総額は前年同月比9.3%増の2,730億リンギットとなった。輸出と輸入の両方が伸びたことが要因だ。輸出は前年同月比8.3%増の1,488億リンギット、輸入は同10.4%増の1,242億リンギットだった。その結果、貿易黒字は246億リンギットとなり、前年同期比で2億1550万リンギット減少した。 国内ニュースでは、日経アジアレビューによると、米イラン紛争の影響で生産に使用される石油関連原材料の価格が高騰し、マレーシアのゴム手袋業界はコスト上昇圧力に直面している。トップグローブ(KLSE:TOPGLOV)やハルタレガ(KLSE:HARTA)といった大手メーカーは、需要が概ね安定している一方で、販売価格を引き上げて原材料費の上昇を相殺している。 企業ニュースでは、MN(KLSE:MNHLDG)の株価は、子会社のMNユーティリティーズ・エンジニアリングがマレーシアのデータセンターインフラプロジェクト向けに2億7590万リンギット相当の受注を獲得したことを受け、月曜日の終値で5%上昇した。

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.
