达美航空第一季度业绩备受瞩目;预计燃油支出将增加超过20亿美元

-- 达美航空(DAL)周三公布的第一季度业绩超出预期,这主要得益于强劲的商务和休闲旅游需求。不过,该公司也指出,由于中东战争的影响,本季度燃油支出增加了超过20亿美元。 该公司公布的截至3月份的季度调整后每股收益为0.64美元,高于去年同期的0.45美元,也高于FactSet调查的0.58美元的预期。营业收入增长13%至158.5亿美元。客运总收入增长7%,货运收入增长9%。 首席执行官埃德·巴斯蒂安在一份声明中表示:“尽管燃油成本大幅上涨,且整个行业都面临运营中断,但我们的收益仍然比去年同期增长了40%以上。”该股在最近的盘前交易中上涨了12%。 第一季度经调整后的营业收入增长9.4%,达到142亿美元,高于分析师平均预期的140.5亿美元。首席商务官乔·埃斯波西托表示,这一指标的增长得益于“商务和休闲旅游市场的普遍强劲需求”。经调整后的每可用座位英里总收入同比增长8.2%,所有地区均实现增长。 巴斯蒂安表示,该航空公司正在采取措施保护其利润率和现金流,包括“在燃油环境改善之前,大幅降低运力增长,并迅速采取措施弥补燃油成本上涨带来的影响”。 美国和伊朗周二同意停火两周,结束了自2月底以来的军事冲突。这场战争蔓延至整个中东地区,并阻碍了关键的霍尔木兹海峡的运输,推高了能源价格。 达美航空预计本季度燃油价格将按4月2日的远期曲线计算,预计综合价格约为每加仑4.30美元,这将使燃油成本增加超过20亿美元。上一季度,调整后的燃油价格同比增长7%,达到每加仑2.62美元。 达美航空表示,基于两位数左右的营收增长,预计第二季度调整后每股收益为1美元至1.50美元。华尔街预期非GAAP每股收益为1.56美元,营收为172.1亿美元。埃斯波西托表示,由于航空公司正在削减运力并努力回收燃油,预计运力将与去年同期持平。 巴斯蒂安表示:“我们预计在6月份的季度中,将以10亿美元的利润引领行业。尽管近期燃油价格飙升对盈利造成了一定影响,但我相信,这种环境最终将巩固达美航空的领先地位,并加速其长期盈利能力的提升。”

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.
