-- 週四，美國天然氣期貨價格走高，此前低於預期的庫存增幅緩解了部分近期供應壓力，加上天氣因素驅動的需求預期也提供了支撐。 亨利樞紐天然氣期貨近月合約及連續合約均上漲1.50%，至每百萬英熱單位2.771美元。 價格早盤走低，但在每週庫存報告公佈後立即反彈，盤中最高觸及每百萬英熱單位2.813美元。 美國能源資訊署報告稱，本週地下天然氣庫存增加了630億立方英尺，低於預期，此前預期增幅為720億至800億立方英尺。 即使增幅較小，庫存仍維持在2,2,050億立方英尺的高位，比去年同期高出750億立方英尺，比五年平均20,660億立方英尺高出1,390億立方英尺。不過，與季節性正常水準相比，庫存盈餘較前一週的1,530億立方英尺有所收窄。 天氣預報進一步推高了天然氣價格。預計中西部和東北部地區將持續出現低於正常水平的冷空氣，直至週五，這將支撐季末的供暖需求。同時，西部和佛羅裡達州的氣溫正在升高，預計5月初最高氣溫將達到90華氏度甚至三位數，將提振冷凍需求。 展望未來，NRG能源公司引用的預測顯示，未來6-15天的天氣預報表明，升溫趨勢將蔓延至美國大平原和東部地區。 供應方面，美國乾氣日產量下降9億立方英尺至1060億立方英尺。 NRG表示，需求也出現疲軟，下降13億立方英尺至789億立方英尺，主要原因是電力產業消耗量減少。 液化天然氣出口原料氣量小幅增加3億立方英尺至172億立方英尺。然而，由於季節性維護仍在繼續，銷量仍低於 4 月的高點，部分被 Golden Pass 礦區活動逐步恢復帶來的增量需求所抵消。

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Papa John's International To Hold From Buy
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $4 to $35, 19x our 2026 EPS estimate (down from 20x), a discount to its 26x five-year average justified by competitive headwinds in the pizza quick service restaurant (QSR) industry. We lower our 2026 EPS estimate to $1.83 from $1.94 and 2027's to $2.35 from $2.37. Following Q1 results that included a disappointing performance in North America comp growth (-6.4%), we are lowering our opinion to Hold from Buy. Our previous thesis rested upon the potential for PZZA to translate improvements in its loyalty program, menu, and sales channels into more sustainable comp growth. However, momentum seen in 1H 2025 has faded. In our view, the company's plan to close 300 North American store locations highlights competitive pressures from pizza QSR peers. As a result, PZZA's margin and free cash flow profile have deteriorated more than we thought. Our new Hold opinion contemplates comp momentum in international markets, which is offsetting North American underperformance.
