英國能源署反駁國際能源總署,支持北海在能源安全中的作用

By

-- 英國海上能源公司(OEUK)執行長週六發表聲明稱,英國到2050年天然氣產量可能超過70億桶,並有望吸引500億英鎊(約678億美元)的投資。此番言論駁斥了國際能源總署(IEA)的評論。 OEUK首席執行官戴維·懷特豪斯(David Whitehouse)反駁了國際能源署執行董事法提赫·比羅爾(Fatih Birol)關於「損害已經造成」的說法,並反對限制北海擴張的呼籲。此前,《衛報》報道了IEA的相關言論。 懷特豪斯表示:“昨天(週五),IEA發布的第二季天然氣市場報告認為,鑑於中東局勢,全球經濟應加強天然氣供應安全。” 他表示,IEA執行董事的評論“恰恰相反”,並補充說,阻礙英國大陸架投資與持續天然氣投資和供應靈活性的呼籲相悖。 懷特豪斯表示:“貶低北海產量並阻礙對英國大陸架的投資,這與國際能源署(IEA)自身的分析相矛盾,IEA的分析呼籲繼續投資天然氣,並強調供應靈活性的重要性。” 他補充說,日益依賴高碳排放的液化天然氣進口,使英國“越來越容易受到地緣政治風險的影響,並加劇全球生產排放。” 懷特豪斯指出,這種轉變將加速海上能源產業的衰落,從而危及就業,並削弱能源轉型所需的關鍵技能。 他表示:「北海仍蘊藏著巨大的潛力。」他指出,英國和挪威作為主要的區域生產國,是歐洲能源安全的關鍵支柱。 他還補充說,如果稅收和監管政策得當,英國到2005年仍可生產超過70億桶天然氣,並指出這一數字「遠高於我們目前預計的不到40億桶」。 英國能源監管機構OEUK負責人表示,石油和天然氣滿足了英國約75%的能源需求,並且在2050年之前,在所有脫碳路徑中都將繼續發揮至關重要的作用。 OEUK已建議政府儘早採用石油和天然氣價格機制(該機制將取代能源利潤稅),預計可釋放500億英鎊的新投資。 懷特豪斯表示,此舉將有助於滿足超過一半的國內需求,增強能源安全,增加稅收,保障就業,並減少對高碳進口能源的依賴。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps A Hold View On Shares Of Meritage Homes Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target price of $73, calculated using a 11.5x multiple against our 2027 EPS view of $6.37. Our multiple is a premium to the 10-year forward P/E mean of 7.9x, reflecting MTH's 60-day closing strategy that has the potential to move volumes in a normalized environment. We revise our 2026 EPS view to $4.96, down from $6.61 and 2027 revised to $6.37 from $8.08. We expect elevated incentives will keep a lid on MTH's margins, while a competitive landscape limits significant market share gains. MTH's primary growth driver, an aggressive expansion in community count, helps offset slower per-store sales but adds its own pressures in a limited demand environment. However, MTH trades at a 20% discount to book value, reinforced by MTH's share repurchase program, providing downside support for shares. While we expect Q2 to benefit from favorable comps, we would like to see tangible improvement in housing demand in 2H 2026 before becoming more bullish on shares.
