調査速報:ダウ社、第1四半期決算はまちまち、売上高は引き続き減少

-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査速報を提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。ダウは第1四半期の売上高が97億9000万ドルとなり、市場予想を1億2500万ドル上回ったものの、中東情勢の混乱と需要低迷の影響で前年同期比6%減となりました。調整後EPSは前年同期の0.02ドルからマイナス0.14ドルに悪化しましたが、市場予想を0.15ドル上回りました。営業EBITは、全セグメントで7%の価格下落により7600万ドル減の1億5400万ドルとなりました。パフォーマンスマテリアル部門は、販売量増加とコスト削減により営業EBITが139%増の1億1700万ドルと好調でしたが、パッケージング部門は、新設のフリーポート工場からのポリエチレン販売量増加にもかかわらず、1億3400万ドル減の2億800万ドルとなりました。同社は、帳簿価額が負債総額に達したため、サダラ社の株式損失を繰り延べました。 NOVA訴訟の支払いと運転資金管理により、営業キャッシュフローは前年の1億400万ドルから11億ドルへと大幅に増加し、キャッシュ創出能力は劇的に向上しました。フリーキャッシュフローは、2025年第1四半期のマイナス5億8100万ドルから6億2100万ドルのプラスに転じ、地政学的緊張や価格圧力といった継続的な事業上の逆風の中で、いくらかの緩和をもたらしました。

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.

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.
