-- 德國股市週一開盤走低,收盤下跌0.26%,原因是週末的和平談判無果後,美國採取行動封鎖霍爾木茲海峽。 德意志銀行研究部表示:「由於美伊週末談判未能達成協議,美國準備封鎖霍爾木茲海峽,禁止船隻進出伊朗港口,市場今早出現明顯的避險情緒。儘管上周宣佈為期兩週的停火協議時市場情緒樂觀,但如今情緒再次轉為負面,布倫特原油價格對市下跌7.39%至每桶102.24美元。 由於霍爾木茲海峽關閉導致能源成本飆升,彭博新聞報道稱,歐盟委員會計劃建議降低電網費用和能源稅,旨在加速清潔技術的推廣應用,同時保護歐盟經濟免受油氣價格波動的影響。該新聞社引述知情人士的話稱,一份概述這些紓困措施的正式政策文件預計將於4月22日由歐盟執行機構通過。 在經濟新聞方面,投資人正密切關注週二公佈的德國批發價格數據和週四公佈的歐元區3月最終通膨數據。市場關注點預計也將轉向正在進行的國際貨幣基金組織和世界銀行春季會議,其中週二發布的國際貨幣基金組織《世界經濟展望》預計將成為焦點。 在企業方面,萊茵金屬公司(RHM.F)和挪威國防技術公司Destinus同意成立一家合資企業-萊茵金屬Destinus打擊系統公司,專注於先進飛彈的生產。這家總部位於德國翁特呂斯的實體預計下半年啟動,尚待監管部門批准。德國國防供應商萊茵金屬將持有該公司51%的多數股權。萊茵金屬股價上漲2.45%,成為DAX指數漲幅最大的股票。 同時,德意志銀行研究部在MTU航空發動機公司(MTX.F)即將於4月30日公佈第一季業績之際,下調了該公司先前給予的「買入」評級股票的目標價。 「我們預計中東衝突不會對第一季業績產生影響,但市場將更加關注MTU對潛在發動機退役的敏感性及其對中期業績指引的影響。基於更保守的現金轉換率假設,我們將目標價從449歐元下調至428歐元,並將2030年預期目標從89%下調至76%。」該研究機構在一份預覽報告中表示。這家德國飛機引擎製造商的股價在收盤時下跌了0.89%。

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.
