蒙特利尔银行称,加拿大房屋销售市场尚未迎来春季复苏。

-- 蒙特利尔银行(BMO)表示,加拿大房地产市场尚未走出冬季休眠期,全国范围内的销售依然低迷,房价持续走低。 该行在周四加拿大房地产协会(CREA)公布数据后指出,尽管各地区的市场状况差异显著,但总体而言,全国房地产市场的增长势头尚未回升。 BMO表示将继续等待春季市场出现更清晰的迹象,但仍预计今年大部分时间市场活动将保持疲软。 经季节性调整后,3月份成屋销售量环比下降0.1%,与上月基本持平,同比下降2.3%。目前的销售活动水平仍然非常低,比10年平均水平低约17%,3月份的销售量是自2009年经济衰退以来同期最低的。 当月新挂牌房源数量也下降了0.2%,同比下降4.9%。 该银行指出,这使得销售与新挂牌房源的比例基本保持不变,为47.8%,反映出全国整体市场依然平衡。未来几个月将是对市场平衡的一次良好考验,一些被压抑的需求将与自秋季以来一直未售出的待售房源相匹配。 这两者之间的互动将决定市场能否在今年余下的时间里趋于紧缩。BMO补充道,毋庸置疑,当市场处于低位时,下一个方向最终会是上涨。 全国基准房价在3月份再次下滑,同比下跌4.7%。短期动能也未见明显改善,三个月的年化跌幅为7%。 该银行表示,在最初的深度调整之后,房价目前正在缓慢“回落”,直至恢复到可负担水平。

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.
