-- 根據彭博新聞週二報道，英國石油公司（BP.L）目前專注於重建資產負債表，而非重啟股票回購計劃，儘管其第一季利潤在中東衝突的背景下大幅增長。 財務長凱特·湯姆森（Kate Thomson）與新任首席執行官梅格·奧尼爾（Meg O’Neill）在電話採訪中表示，這家英國能源巨頭“目前完全專注於打造更強勁的資產負債表”，並補充說，公司將削減債務和永續混合債券，以改善其財務狀況。 湯姆森指出，股票回購「最終仍將是一種在適當情況下使用的工具」。

Research Alert: Visa Mar-q: A Blowout Quarter As Consumer Spending Accelerates
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Visa posted excellent Mar-Q results with adj. EPS of $3.31 vs. $2.76 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.21. Revenue of $11.2B rose 17% Y/Y, beating consensus by 4% and marking the strongest growth since 2022. We view this as an excellent result, as concerns surrounding AI disruption or geopolitical uncertainty did not manifest in Visa's performance. Adjusted operating margin held firm at 68.0%, a good result given prior guidance indicated likely margin compression. Strong performance was broad based with data processing revenue up 18% to $5.5B and other revenue surging 41% to $1.3B, reflecting successful expansion in value-added services. Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe advanced 11% on a constant currency (CC) basis while payments volume grew 9%. Geographic strength was led by LAC (+14% CC), CEMEA (+13% CC), and Europe (+11% CC), with encouraging acceleration in the U.S. to 8%. We applaud the board's authorization of a new $20B multi-year share repurchase program given Visa's muted valuation.
