金佰利公司第一季業績超乎預期;全年展望維持不變

By

-- 金佰利 (KMB) 週二公佈了超出預期的第一季業績,並維持了全年業績展望。這家消費品製造商同時指出,由於油價高企,下半年可能面臨高達 1.7 億美元的額外投入成本壓力。 金佰利旗下舒潔紙巾品牌 Kleenex 的調整後每股收益從去年同期的 1.93 美元增至 1.97 美元,與 FactSet 的市場預期一致。淨銷售額成長 2.7% 至 41.6 億美元,高於華爾街預期的 40.9 億美元。 該公司股價在周二下午的交易中上漲了 1.1%。今年以來,該股累計下跌了 1.6%。 金佰利表示,預計全年持續經營業務的調整後每股盈餘將維持兩位數成長,而歸屬於金佰利的調整後每股盈餘預計仍將持平(均以固定匯率計算)。 該公司也表示,預計2026年有機銷售額的成長將與同產業及所在國家的加權平均成長率持平或更高,過去12個月的加權平均成長率約為2.5%。 金佰利財務長納爾遜·烏爾達內塔在公司網站上發表的聲明中表示,如果油價維持在每桶100美元的水平,該公司下半年可能面臨1.5億至1.7億美元的毛投入成本增加。 自2月底美以與伊朗爆發戰爭以來,能源價格飆升,霍爾木茲海峽——全球最重要的原油運輸咽喉要道——實際上已關閉。在近期美國與伊朗以及以色列與黎巴嫩達成停火協議後,衝突暫時中止。 金佰利公司第一季國際個人護理業務營收成長9.1%至15.1億美元,主要得益於4%的有機銷售成長和有利的匯率影響。北美地區銷售額下降0.6%至26.5億美元,主要受公司退出美國自有品牌尿布業務2.7%的負面影響,但部分被1.8%的有機銷售成長所抵銷。 執行長許麥克在一份聲明中表示:“儘管地緣政治和宏觀經濟持續存在不確定性,我們依然保持了穩健的銷量和產品組合表現,並不斷提升市場份額。我們持續實現顯著的成本節約,鞏固了我們強大的財務基礎,並使我們能夠投資於充滿希望的未來。” 金佰利公司預計,第二季將因加州安大略市配送中心近期發生的火災而遭受5000萬美元的損失,「此外,中東衝突也將帶來一些額外成本,」烏爾達內塔表示。 “我們預計,憑藉我們綜合利潤管理體系中的諸多手段,將在下半年全面抵消這些成本。”

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.
