聯合太平洋鐵路公司在第一季每股收益超預期後，重申全年獲利預期。

-- 聯合太平洋鐵路公司 (UNP) 重申了其全年盈利預期，同時其第一季淨利潤超出華爾街預期，推動這家鐵路營運商的股價週四上漲。 該公司表示，仍預計今年每股收益將實現中等個位數成長。 根據 FactSet 發布的電話會議記錄顯示，首席財務官詹妮弗·哈曼 (Jennifer Hamann) 在周四的財報電話會議上表示：“展望 2026 年之後，我們仍致力於實現三年（複合年增長率）目標，即在 2027 年全年實現高個位數至低兩位數的每股收益增長。” 聯合太平洋鐵路公司負責行銷和銷售的執行副總裁 Kenyatta Rocker 在電話會議上表示，儘管目前天然氣價格高企，但該公司預計全年煤炭業務業績將「為正」。羅克補充說，對華出口需求的改善以及對墨西哥市場的持續成長勢頭，將使該公司的糧食業務「能夠很好地」支撐成長。 第一季每股收益從去年同期的2.70美元增至2.87美元，超過FactSet調查的2.84美元的預期。營業收入成長3%至62.2億美元，略低於華爾街預期的62.3億美元。 該公司股價在周四下午稍晚的交易中上漲7.1%，使其年初至今的漲幅擴大至16%。 第一季散貨運輸業務營收年增10%至20.3億美元，其中煤炭和再生能源業務成長17%，帶動了整體成長。工業收入成長5%至21.9億美元。 「我們第一季的業務組合總體良好，但不如預期，這是由於煤炭和岩石等平均每車收入較低的業務量增加，而食品、冷藏和林產品等平均每車收入較高的業務量減少所致，」哈曼告訴分析師。 涵蓋多式聯運和汽車運輸的高端業務部門本季營收下降5%至16.8億美元。 「如預期，西海岸進口量下降和客戶轉移拖累了國際多式聯運量，年減28%。」羅克爾告訴分析師。

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.
