-- 据Jarden周四发布的一份报告显示,Regis Healthcare(ASX:REG)有望受益于政府拨款增加、住宿补贴调整以及拟议的养老护理改革中的发展激励措施。 由于婴儿潮一代老龄化带来的日益增长的需求超过了有限的新增供应,养老护理行业持续面临压力,导致入住率创历史新高,并促使养老机构转向收费更高的非优惠居民以提高财务回报。 Jarden表示,卫生部长马克·巴特勒在联邦预算案公布前提出的住宿价格审查改革总体上是积极的,好于此前仅小幅提高住宿补贴的预期。 改革措施包括将每位居民每天的住宿补贴增加5澳元,并建立新的分级制度,提高优惠居民比例在30%至39%和60%以上的养老院的拨款,取代此前鼓励运营商将优惠居民比例保持在40%以下的激励措施。 另一项重要改革是取消可退还住宿押金定价的最高允许利率,Jarden认为此举有利于供应商在设定转换率方面拥有更大的灵活性,并增强现金流的稳定性。 该公司估计,这些改革措施的综合影响可能为公司带来约700万澳元的年度税前收益增长,相当于2027财年预期利润实现个位数百分比的中等增长。 该公司指出,此次审查提议为养老护理项目提供长期每日付款和每年20亿澳元的无息贷款,这可以支持公司九个新建项目,在资金紧张的情况下新增约1200张床位。 Jarden维持对Regis Healthcare的“增持”评级,目标股价为8.50澳元。

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.
