達美航空第一季業績備受矚目;預計燃油支出將增加超過20億美元

-- 達美航空(DAL)週三公佈的第一季業績超出預期,這主要得益於強勁的商務和休閒旅遊需求。不過,該公司也指出,由於中東戰爭的影響,本季燃油支出增加了超過20億美元。 該公司公佈的截至3月份的季度調整後每股收益為0.64美元,高於去年同期的0.45美元,也高於FactSet調查的0.58美元的預期。營業收入成長13%至158.5億美元。客運總收入成長7%,貨運收入成長9%。 執行長艾德·巴斯蒂安在聲明中表示:「儘管燃油成本大幅上漲,且整個行業都面臨營運中斷,但我們的收益仍然比去年同期增長了40%以上。」該股在最近的盤前交易中上漲了12%。 第一季經調整後的營業收入成長9.4%,達到142億美元,高於分析師平均預期的140.5億美元。首席商務官喬·埃斯波西托表示,這項指標的成長得益於「商務和休閒旅遊市場的普遍強勁需求」。經調整後的每可用座位英里總收入年增8.2%,所有地區均實現成長。 巴斯蒂安表示,該航空公司正在採取措施保護其利潤率和現金流,包括「在燃油環境改善之前,大幅降低運力成長,並迅速採取措施彌補燃油成本上漲的影響」。 美國和伊朗週二同意停火兩週,結束了2月底以來的軍事衝突。這場戰爭蔓延至整個中東地區,並阻礙了關鍵的霍爾木茲海峽的運輸,推高了能源價格。 達美航空預計本季燃油價格將以4月2日的遠期曲線計算,預計綜合價格約為每加侖4.30美元,將使燃油成本增加超過20億美元。上一季度,調整後的燃油價格年增7%,達到每加侖2.62美元。 達美航空表示,基於兩位數左右的營收成長,預計第二季調整後每股收益為1美元至1.50美元。華爾街預期非GAAP每股盈餘為1.56美元,營收為172.1億美元。埃斯波西托表示,由於航空公司正在削減運能並努力回收燃油,預計運能將與去年同期持平。 巴斯蒂安表示:“我們預計在6月份的季度中,將以10億美元的利潤引領行業。儘管近期燃油價格飆升對盈利造成了一定影響,但我相信,這種環境最終將鞏固達美航空的領先地位,並加速其長期盈利能力的提升。”

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. 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.
