那斯達克指數連漲至第九個交易日,科技股領漲。

-- 週一,那斯達克指數連續第九個交易日上漲,美國股市受益於科技股的強勁上漲。 那斯達克指數上漲1.2%,收23,183.7點;標普500指數上漲1%,收在6,886.2點;道瓊工業指數上漲0.6%,收在48,218.3點。除公用事業和必需消費品板塊外,所有板塊均收漲,其中科技和金融板塊領漲。 甲骨文(ORCL)股價飆漲近13%,成為標普500指數中漲幅最大的股票。該公司表示,在其客戶高峰會上,針對其公用事業軟體套件推出了以人工智慧為重點的更新,旨在改善計費、電網營運和資產管理。 ServiceNow(NOW)、戴爾科技(DELL)、Salesforce(CRM)和微軟(MSFT)等科技股也出現上漲。 貝萊德投資研究所週一在一份報告中指出,美國企業獲利成長預期似乎並未受到伊朗戰爭帶來的不確定性影響,市場押註今年的企業表現將強於戰前預期。 貝萊德將美國股票評級從“中性”上調至“增持”,並表示中東衝突可能造成的經濟損失有限。 週一早些時候,受美國封鎖伊朗港口附近海域的影響,油價一度突破每桶100美元,但隨後漲幅收窄,西德州中質原油上漲1.3%,至每桶97.83美元;布蘭特原油上漲3.1%,至每桶98.18美元。 封鎖於美國東部時間週一上午10點開始。此前,美伊兩國週末在巴基斯坦舉行的談判未能達成協議,加劇了人們對華盛頓和德黑蘭之間本已脆弱的停火協議的擔憂。 路透社報道,美國總統川普表示,伊朗今天上午致電美國,並表示「他們希望達成協議」。儘管和平談判失敗,但上周宣布的為期兩週的停火協議仍然有效。 根據美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報道,川普發表上述言論之際,伊朗已誓言對美國的封鎖進行報復。自2月底戰爭爆發以來,伊朗控制的霍爾木茲海峽實際上已被封鎖。 根據《華爾街日報》引述知情人士報道,川普正在考慮在談判失敗後對伊朗進行有限的打擊。 奧本海默資產管理公司首席投資策略師約翰·斯托爾茨弗斯表示:“隨著與伊朗的衝突進入第七週,人們持續擔憂何時才能有效解決衝突,這種擔憂目前可能仍將對市場參與者構成不利影響。” 同時,石油輸出國組織(歐佩克)下調了第二季石油需求預測,原因是中東衝突的影響,但由於預期下半年石油需求將反彈,因此維持了全年預測不變。 美國公債殖利率走低,10年期公債殖利率下跌4.7個基點至4.29%,2年期公債殖利率下跌2.7個基點至3.78%。 公司方面,高盛(GS)週一公佈的第一季業績超出市場預期,但執行長大衛·所羅門表示,曠日持久的中東衝突可能對通膨構成上行風險。高盛股價下跌1.9%,成為道瓊指數中表現最差的股票。 摩根大通(JPM)、富國銀行(WFC)和花旗集團(C)將於週二公佈季度業績,而美國銀行(BAC)和摩根士丹利(MS)將於週三公佈業績。除銀行業外,強生(JNJ)、奈飛(NFLX)和百事可樂(PEP)也將於本周公布業績。 經濟新聞方面,美國房地產經紀人協會(NAR)的數據顯示,受就業成長放緩和消費者信心疲軟持續抑制潛在購屋者的影響,3月美國成屋銷售量下降。 黃金價格最新下跌0.4%,至每盎司4,766.30美元;白銀價格下跌1.1%,至每盎司75.67美元。

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.

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.
