-- 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。WSOは第1四半期の1株当たり利益（EPS）が1.87ドルとなり、市場予想を0.19ドル上回りました。売上高は15億3000万ドルで横ばい、粗利益率は20ベーシスポイント低下して27.9%となりました。この好業績は、厳しい状況下における予想を上回る結果を反映したもので、米国売上高は2%増加したものの、海外売上高は11%減少しました。製品別の業績はまちまちで、HVAC機器は1%減、その他のHVAC製品は4%増、業務用冷凍機器は11%増となりましたが、業務用冷凍機器は売上高全体のわずか5%を占めるに過ぎません。第1四半期製品の55%に影響を与えるA2L冷媒への移行が進行中であるため、平均販売価格は9%上昇しましたが、販売台数の減少によって相殺されました。 WSOは、第2四半期に完了予定のJackson Supply Company（年間売上高2億3000万ドル）の買収を発表し、1989年以来70社以上のHVAC販売代理店を買収してきた買収戦略を継続している。2025年のA2L関連の大規模投資後の運転資本管理の改善と在庫最適化により、営業キャッシュフローの赤字は2025年第1四半期の1億7800万ドルから1900万ドルへと大幅に改善した。

Quebec's Provincial Economy Starts 2026 at a Standstill, Says National Bank
After posting its first increase in three months in December, Quebec's gross domestic product lost momentum in January, remaining unchanged from the previous month, said National Bank of Canada.This stability in economic activity at the start of the year was due to a slight increase in the goods sector's output, which was entirely offset by a decline in activity in the services sector in the province, noted the bank.National Bank recalls that after underperforming the Canadian economy as a whole from January to July 2025, the Quebec provincial economy has grown at a pace similar to the rest of the country in recent months.However, the uptick in economic activity since the second half of 2025 hasn't been sufficient to close the gap with the rest of the country, as the Quebec economy contracted by 0.7% over 12 months compared with a 0.6% increase in Canada, stated the bank. Although this year-over-year gap is largely due to widespread underperformance in Quebec's goods sector, the province's services sector also underperformed in 10 of its 15 subsectors.Despite the less favorable economic conditions in the province, Quebec's labor market has shown considerable resilience. Since the imposition of U.S. tariffs in February 2025, the unemployment rate in the province has remained stable, while it rose by one-tenth of a percentage point across the country despite the stronger economic environment.Returning to the January data, there are some positive highlights to note, notably a second consecutive monthly increase of 0.5% in the manufacturing sector. However, activity levels in this sector remained 4.8% lower than in February 2025.National Bank also points out significant jumps in the mining and quarrying and construction sectors, as well as in the information and cultural industries. Conversely, the agriculture and forestry, utilities, wholesale trade, administrative, support, and waste management, and arts, entertainment, and recreation sectors all experienced significant declines in January, partially or completely erasing the notable gains recorded in December.Looking ahead, the sustained activity in January following December's surge is encouraging for the outlook for Q1 2026, stated the bank. However, Quebec's economy still faces numerous challenges, including persistent trade uncertainty, the upcoming renewal of the USMCA trade deal and sector-specific tariffs disproportionately impacting the province.Added to this is rising inflation due to the conflict in the Middle East, which could have beneficial effects on the economies of certain oil-producing provinces but in Quebec is likely to result in a loss of purchasing power for local households and businesses, according to National Bank.

Microsoft Appears to Have Made More Concessions Than Gains Under Amended Deal With OpenAI, UBS Says
Microsoft (MSFT) appears to have made more concessions than gains under the recently amended agreement between the company and OpenAI, UBS said in a research note emailed Tuesday.Microsoft effectively loses its application programming interface, or API, exclusivity, with OpenAI now allowed to host all its products on other cloud providers, UBS said, adding that this development appears to be a major win for Amazon (AMZN).Microsoft's access to OpenAI's intellectual property continues to run through 2032, but it is now non-exclusive, representing another concession, according to UBS.In its view, UBS said that OpenAI needs more compute and Microsoft may be unable or unwilling to provide as it works to become a larger compute partner to Anthropic and fulfil its internal needs.UBS said that both Microsoft and OpenAI are increasingly becoming direct knowledge work rivals and soon even artificial intelligence coding model opponents, and that OpenAI is scaling so fast that current revenue share terms were likely untenable.UBS maintained its buy rating with a $510 price target on Microsoft.Price: $427.58, Change: $+2.76, Percent Change: +0.65%
