-- 水曜日の米国株式市場は上昇して取引を終え、S&P500種指数とナスダック総合指数は史上最高値を更新した。これは、米イラン和平合意が間近に迫っていることと、アドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイセズ（AMD）の第1四半期決算発表が半導体株の上昇を牽引したことが背景にある。 * 米政府関係者2名と、この問題について説明を受けた他の情報筋2名の話として、ホワイトハウスはイランとの戦争終結と、テヘランの核開発計画に関するより詳細な交渉の枠組みを定めるための1ページの覚書に合意する寸前にあると、アクシオスが報じた。 * 米ADPのデータが水曜日に発表したところによると、4月の米民間部門の雇用は増加した。これは、週後半に発表される非農業部門雇用者数に先立つ数字だ。民間部門の雇用者数は10万9000人増加し、2025年1月以来の速い伸び率となった。ブルームバーグがまとめた調査では、12万人の増加が予想されていた。 * 6月限のWTI原油は7.23ドル下落し、1バレル95.04ドルで取引を終えた。一方、国際指標である7月限のブレント原油は8.59ドル下落し、1バレル101.28ドルで取引を終えた。 * 半導体メーカーのアドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイセズ（AMD）の株価は18%以上上昇し、S&P500種株価指数とナスダック総合指数の上昇率上位銘柄となった。同社は前夜、予想を上回る第1四半期決算を発表し、第2四半期の売上高見通しも好調だった。 * クラウドネットワーク企業のアリスタ・ネットワークス（ANET）の株価は14%近く下落し、S&P500種株価指数の下落率上位銘柄となった。同社は火曜遅くに第2四半期の売上高見通しを発表したが、市場予想をわずかに下回った。

Research Alert: Apa: Q1 Strength In Crude Oil Pricing; Eps Beat And Robust Fcf
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:APA posted Q1 EPS of $1.38 vs. $1.06, beating consensus by $0.24, while production of 442,000 boe/d was down 6% as part of deliberate portfolio optimization. Volumes excluding NCIs fell 9% to 363,000 boe/d, though U.S. oil production remained flat at 124,000 b/d with Egypt contributing 71,000 boe/d. The company exceeded production guidance through Permian efficiency gains and improved uptime, reinforcing the strategic value of its oil-weighted profile amid weak natural gas pricing at $2.12/MMBtu. APA raised full-year U.S. oil production outlook to 122,000 b/d while maintaining Permian capex at $1.3B. Free cash flow generation of $477M represented a nearly fourfold increase, enabling $634M in debt repayments through April 2026 and reducing annual interest expense by over $60M. We believe the company's continued progress on cost reduction initiatives, targeting $450M in cumulative run-rate savings by year-end 2026, positions it well for sustained cash generation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 80 bps to 16.8% as adjusted EBITDA increased 16.5% to CAD622.2M, near the high end of management's outlook range. Organic growth of 5.0% combined with 9.0% acquisition growth from the TRC and Ricardo acquisitions drove the revenue increase, with adjusted net earnings climbing 29.9% to CAD297.7M. Management noted a CAD50M Q/Q improvement in free cash flow when adjusting for prior-year factoring benefits, though free cash flow shifted to an outflow of CAD29M. Long-term debt increased significantly to CAD7,259.8M from CAD3,441.8M following TRC acquisition financing, pushing the leverage ratio above the target range to 2.3x.

Research Alert: Ptc Lifts Fy 26 Eps Guidance, Helped By Share Repurchases And Margin Expansion
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:PTC delivered Q2 FY 26 (Mar-Q) results well above the Street, with sales of $774M (+22% Y/Y) vs. the $713M expected and non-GAAP EPS of $2.69 (vs. $2.11), reflecting 50% Y/Y growth, led by 600 bps of Y/Y non-GAAP operating margin expansion to 53%. Constant currency annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth of 8.5% to $2.39B landed at the top of PTC's guidance range but decelerated from Q1's 9.0%, while operating cash flow surged 14% to $321M (vs. 13% growth in Q1). Management maintained its FY 26 ARR growth guidance at 7.5%-9.5% and kept FCF expectations at $850M, but raised its non-GAAP EPS midpoint to $7.78 from $7.60. We see support from accelerated share repurchase activity, including $625M in Q2 and $1.275B planned in FY 26, reflecting strong cash generation and a commitment to shareholder returns while maintaining a conservative debt-to-EBITDA ratio (0.8x exiting Q2). The completion of the Kepware and ThingWorx divestitures in March should allow PTC to sharpen its focus on core CAD, PLM, and ALM solutions.
