-- 经过英国的长周末假期,周二富时100指数收跌1.40%,原因是企业财报持续涌入,而美伊停火协议依然脆弱。 英国银行业集团汇丰银行(HSBA.L)股价下跌5.86%,此前该公司公布的第一季度业绩被美国银行全球研究部形容为“喜忧参半”。汇丰银行归属于普通股股东的税后利润同比增长69.4亿美元,高于去年同期的69.3亿美元。 美国银行表示:“汇丰银行公布的第一季度业绩尚可。” 【扣除重大项目后的税前利润与市场预期一致,收入(来自手续费和其他收入)超出预期,但被更高的成本和减值所抵消。银行业务的【净利息收入】符合预期。我们对汇丰持续稳健的资产负债表和财富管理手续费收入增长感到鼓舞,并对管理层控制成本的能力充满信心。尽管第一季度【预期信贷损失】波动较大,但我们并不担心汇丰贷款组合的基本信贷质量。 另一方面,Intertek集团(ITRK.L)股价上涨5.95%,领涨蓝筹股指数。此前该公司确认已收到瑞典私募股权公司EQT的第三份主动提出的、有条件的指示性收购要约,报价为每股58英镑现金,高于此前被拒绝的每股54英镑和51.50英镑的报价。 “鉴于ITRK宣布将进行战略评估,可能将其业务拆分为两家公司,且有私募股权公司对整个集团表现出潜在兴趣,我们将ITRK的评级上调至‘跑赢大盘’,并将目标价上调约30%至58.50英镑,”加拿大皇家银行资本市场表示。“我们认为维持现状的可能性最小,并认为主要参与者正着眼于最终将核心测试资产在美国上市,与高度相似且估值极高的UL Solutions并肩竞争。” 经济方面,英国汽车制造商和贸易商协会(SMMT)的数据显示,4月份英国新车注册量同比增长24%,达到149,247辆。SMMT表示,这一数据表明汽车市场已从2025年税收政策调整带来的负面影响中复苏,并创下自2019年以来的最佳表现。 “不断上涨的合规成本有可能限制消费者的选择、整体脱碳进程以及该行业的竞争力,因此,迅速审查转型以使政策与市场现实相符的必要性依然存在,否则英国作为汽车市场和制造中心的吸引力将受到威胁,”英国汽车制造商和贸易商协会 (SMMT) 首席执行官迈克·霍斯表示。

We made an ambitious plan for a fast, cost effective and safe development," Linda Kada Hoiland, senior vice president at Equinor, said."Eirin will extend production from the Gina Krog platform by seven years," Hoiland said, adding that the project will deliver gas to Europe while supporting value creation and jobs linked to the asset.Price: $41.57, Change: $+0.25, Percent Change: +0.61%
