-- 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。LYVは昨日遅く、米国裁判所の陪審員から、チケット1枚あたり1.72ドル(推定7億ドル)の損害賠償を命じる評決を受けました。これは、LYVがチケット販売サービス、コンサートチケット販売、コンサート会場市場を独占していたと判断されたためです。CFRAの政策部門であるワシントン・アナリシスの法務アナリストは、同社が分割される可能性を20%と見ています。司法省はLYVとの和解条件の有効性を認める見込みですが、LYVが陪審員の評決を不服として控訴する可能性もあります。LYVは、州側の訴訟は競争阻害と公共への損害に関する事実的根拠を立証できていないと主張しており、スブラマニアン判事は、判決後の申し立てで賠償額の減額を求める可能性があります。 LYVが州の損害賠償専門家を排除するよう求める申し立ては既に提出されており、スブラマニアン判事は間もなく判断を下す可能性がある。ワシントン・アナリシスは、州司法長官には和解する強い動機があり、LYVを相手取って訴訟を起こし、消費者にチケット割引を提供した経緯について新たなニュースが生まれる可能性があると指摘している。当社は引き続き「ホールド」の見解を維持する。

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.

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.
