調査速報:Icon Plc:会計調査完了、2025年度決算発表間近

By

-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。ICLRの株価は、会計調査の完了を受けて上昇しました。2023~2024年度の売上高過大計上は、当初予想されていた2%を下回り、2025年第3四半期までの過大計上はさらに低い水準にとどまる見込みです。同社は、影響を受けた全期間の財務諸表を修正し、第2四半期末までに年次報告書を発表する予定です。長年の懸念材料が解消され、顧客への損害賠償、不正行為、2023~2024年度の売上高過大計上が2%を超えるといった最悪のシナリオが回避されたことを考慮すると、今日の株価上昇は妥当であると考えられます。経営陣のコメントからは、近年逆風となっていた製薬・バイオテクノロジー分野の資金調達環境とプロジェクト中止の傾向が改善する可能性が示唆されています。ICLRは徐々に投資家の信頼を取り戻していくと予想されますが、ライフサイエンスツール・サービス業界の同業他社を含め、事業環境は依然として厳しい状況にあると考えています。最近の財務ガイダンスが不足していることから、見通しは依然として低いと考えており、提案された改善策のさらなる証拠を得るためには、最新の財務諸表を待つ必要がある。

EMEA Oil Update: Crude Rallies as US-Iran Standoff Stokes Supply Fears

EMEA crude futures rallied in after-hours trading on Wednesday as a dual blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, and President Trump's hardening Iranian rhetoric stoked fears of a prolonged global energy supply shock.Brent crude futures climbed 7.13% to $119.19 per barrel, while Murban oil futures gained 2.44% to $109.31/bbl."President Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran, targeting the regime's coffers in a high-risk bid to compel Iran to end its nuclear program," Saxo Bank strategists said in a note on Wednesday.Trump reportedly said he will maintain a naval blockade against Iran until Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal, noting that the blockade is somewhat more effective than the bombing. The US President threatened Iran on Wednesday, saying the country "better get smart soon"."Iran can't get their act together. They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They'd better get smart soon!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.The second round of US-Iran talks to end the Middle East conflict has stalled in recent days as the two sides refuse to budge in negotiations and Tehran attempts to separate the Hormuz issue from its nuclear program.Soojin Kim, research analyst at MUFG, said crude prices remained elevated as markets focused on stalled US-Iran peace talks and the continued near-closure of the Hormuz.The US naval blockade appears to be putting pressure on Iran, amid reports that the country is running out of crude storage space, which could accelerate production cuts.US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Iran's Kharg Island, the country's primary oil export terminal, is approaching storage capacity, which will likely force the government to reduce crude production and cause damage to Iran's oil infrastructure."Iran is also facing growing storage constraints that could force deeper production cuts, while the US continues tightening sanctions on Chinese refiners linked to Iranian oil," Kim said.Meanwhile, Kim said the ongoing Middle East conflict has already triggered broader regional shifts, including the UAE's decision to leave OPEC next month."The timing of the exit was planned well," ING strategists said, adding that announcing a departure during a period of significant supply disruption limits the market impact.On the supply side, signs of tightening have begun to appear in the US, with the latest data from the Energy Information Administration showing that US crude stocks fell by 6.2 million barrels to 459.5 million barrels in the week ended Apr. 24.
