美國股市指數下跌,成長型板塊拖累市場情緒,霍爾木茲協議僵局持續

-- 由於霍爾木茲海峽(全球約五分之一原油運輸的咽喉要道)的僵局持續,投資者情緒依然脆弱,科技股和非必需消費品股的下跌拖累了投資者情緒,美國股市指數走低。 週四,那斯達克指數下跌0.9%,收在24,438.50點;道瓊工業指數下跌0.4%,收在49,310.32點;標普500指數下跌0.4%,收在7,108.40點。公用事業和工業板塊領漲。 IBM (IBM) 股價暴跌8.3%,成為道瓊指數成分股中跌幅最大的股票之一,此前該公司公佈了第一季財報。 CFRA在一份報告中指出,IBM軟體業務成長率(以固定匯率計算)從第四季的11%和第三季的9%放緩至8%,這對空頭來說是一個「潛在的危險信號」。 特斯拉 (TSLA) 股價下跌 3.6%,此前該公司發布了高於預期的 2026 年資本支出指引。根據 TechCrunch 報導,特斯拉計畫在 2026 年支出 250 億美元,而 2025 年的預期為 85 億美元。 奧本海默在一份報告中指出,ServiceNow (NOW) 公佈了強勁的第一季業績,但內生性收入成長放緩以及利潤率預期略有下降,拖累了整體業績預期。 ServiceNow 股價下跌 18%,成為標普 500 指數中表現最差的股票。 德州儀器 (TXN) 股價飆升 19%,成為標普 500 指數和納斯達克指數中表現最佳的股票之一。此前該公司公佈了高於預期的第一季獲利和銷售額,並發布了高於市場普遍預期的第二季業績指引。 在地緣政治方面,據 Truth Social 週四發布的消息,美國總統唐納德·特朗普已下令美國海軍“擊沉”任何在霍爾木茲海峽布雷的船隻。據路透社報道,同一天,伊朗發布了一段突擊隊員強行闖入一艘名為“MSC Francesca”號的貨船的視頻,炫耀其對霍爾木茲港的控制力加強。 美國和伊朗的談判仍陷入僵局,只要美國海軍繼續封鎖港口,華盛頓拒絕解除封鎖,德黑蘭就拒絕進行和平談判。根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報道,川普表示,伊朗面臨達成結束戰爭協議的壓力,並聲稱他「有的是時間」。 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場全球大宗商品策略主管赫利瑪·克羅夫特在一份報告中指出,伊朗「已將解除美國封鎖作為恢復談判的先決條件」。 “而川普總統則表示,停火協議目前將繼續有效,使衝突陷入一種沒有空襲、船隻活動極少、難以維繫的平衡狀態。” 西德州中質原油期貨價格上漲3.6%,至每桶96.51美元;布蘭特原油期貨價格上漲3.7%,至每桶105.58美元。 貴金屬方面,黃金期貨價格下跌1.1%,至每盎司4,703.3美元;白銀期貨價格下跌3.5%,至每盎司75.27美元,因為原油價格上漲往往引發通膨擔憂。除宏觀經濟數據外,大多數美國公債殖利率也出現上漲,反映出固定收益市場類似的趨勢。 10年期公債殖利率上漲3.1個基點,至4.33%;2年期公債殖利率上漲3.8個基點,至3.83%。 美國經濟方面,截至4月18日當週,首次申請失業救濟人數從向上修正後的20.8萬人增加至21.4萬人,高於彭博社總調查預期的21萬人。 同時,標普全球4月製造業狀況初值從3月的52.3上升至54.0,創47個月新高,高於彭博社總合的調查預期的52.5。

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. 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.
