金佰利公司第一季度业绩超出预期;全年展望维持不变

By

-- 金佰利公司 (KMB) 周二公布了超出预期的第一季度业绩,并维持了全年业绩展望。这家消费品制造商同时指出,由于油价高企,下半年可能面临高达 1.7 亿美元的额外投入成本压力。 金佰利旗下舒洁纸巾品牌 Kleenex 的调整后每股收益从去年同期的 1.93 美元增至 1.97 美元,与 FactSet 的市场预期一致。净销售额增长 2.7% 至 41.6 亿美元,高于华尔街预期的 40.9 亿美元。 该公司股价在周二下午的交易中上涨了 1.1%。今年以来,该股累计下跌了 1.6%。 金佰利公司表示,预计全年持续经营业务的调整后每股收益将保持两位数增长,而归属于金佰利的调整后每股收益预计仍将持平(均按固定汇率计算)。 该公司还表示,预计2026年有机销售额的增长将与同行业及所在国家/地区的加权平均增长率持平或更高,过去12个月的加权平均增长率约为2.5%。 金佰利首席财务官纳尔逊·乌尔达内塔在公司网站上发表的声明中表示,如果油价维持在每桶100美元的水平,公司下半年可能面临1.5亿至1.7亿美元的毛投入成本增加。 自2月底美以与伊朗爆发战争以来,能源价格飙升,霍尔木兹海峡——全球最重要的原油运输咽喉要道——实际上已被关闭。在近期美国与伊朗以及以色列与黎巴嫩达成停火协议后,冲突暂时中止。 金佰利公司第一季度国际个人护理业务营收增长9.1%至15.1亿美元,主要得益于4%的有机销售增长和有利的汇率影响。北美地区销售额下降0.6%至26.5亿美元,主要受公司退出美国自有品牌尿布业务2.7%的负面影响,但部分被1.8%的有机销售增长所抵消。 首席执行官许迈克在一份声明中表示:“尽管地缘政治和宏观经济持续存在不确定性,我们依然保持了稳健的销量和产品组合表现,并不断提升市场份额。我们持续实现显著的成本节约,巩固了我们强大的财务基础,并使我们能够投资于充满希望的未来。” 金佰利公司预计,第二季度将因加州安大略市配送中心近期发生的火灾而遭受5000万美元的损失,“此外,中东冲突也将带来一些额外成本,”乌尔达内塔表示。“我们预计,凭借我们综合利润管理体系中的诸多手段,将在下半年全面抵消这些成本。”

Research Alert: Visa Mar-q: A Blowout Quarter As Consumer Spending Accelerates

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Visa posted excellent Mar-Q results with adj. EPS of $3.31 vs. $2.76 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.21. Revenue of $11.2B rose 17% Y/Y, beating consensus by 4% and marking the strongest growth since 2022. We view this as an excellent result, as concerns surrounding AI disruption or geopolitical uncertainty did not manifest in Visa's performance. Adjusted operating margin held firm at 68.0%, a good result given prior guidance indicated likely margin compression. Strong performance was broad based with data processing revenue up 18% to $5.5B and other revenue surging 41% to $1.3B, reflecting successful expansion in value-added services. Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe advanced 11% on a constant currency (CC) basis while payments volume grew 9%. Geographic strength was led by LAC (+14% CC), CEMEA (+13% CC), and Europe (+11% CC), with encouraging acceleration in the U.S. to 8%. We applaud the board's authorization of a new $20B multi-year share repurchase program given Visa's muted valuation.
