-- 根据周四发布的财报,乐购(Tesco,股票代码:TSCO.L)2026财年盈利增长,但鉴于中东地缘政治风险加剧,该公司对未来一年的业绩发出警告。 截至2月22日的52周内,乐购调整后营业利润为31.5亿英镑。为应对伊朗战争带来的经济不确定性,这家连锁超市运营商将2027财年的盈利预期范围扩大至30亿至33亿英镑。此外,乐购还计划通过其“储蓄投资计划”(Save to Invest program)额外节省5亿英镑,用于持续投资提升顾客体验。 伯恩斯坦公司指出,在乐购“强劲的业绩”中,此次盈利预期调整是“唯一的谨慎之处”。 “该指引的下限可能引发市场恐慌,而31.5亿英镑的中点低于市场普遍预期的32亿英镑——我们认为,鉴于中东战争的局势,为了避免被指责牟取暴利,这是一个谨慎保守的指引。我们认为,随着食品通胀和燃油价格上涨,他们至少应该能够达到该区间的上限。[资本支出]预计为16亿英镑(去年为15亿英镑)。已确认下一财年将回购7.5亿英镑的股票。他们已将中期[自由现金流]目标从14亿至18亿英镑上调至15亿至20亿英镑,这将受到市场的欢迎。”该研究公司在一份简报中写道。 截至2026年2月28日的53周内,乐购(Tesco)的归属于股东的利润跃升至17.9亿英镑,高于截至2025年2月22日的52周的16.3亿英镑。商品和服务销售收入也从699.2亿英镑增至737.1亿英镑,同店销售额同比增长3.5%。 乐购报告称,按固定汇率计算,52周内的销售额增长4.3%至665.9亿英镑,其所有运营部门均实现增长。乐购补充道,在持续投资于客户服务以应对英国日益激烈的竞争之际,集团销量“持续增长”。按地区划分,英国和爱尔兰以5%的固定汇率总销售额增长领跑,其次是中欧(3.7%)和布克(0.6%)。 “我们致力于尽一切努力降低每周购物成本。鉴于中东冲突给消费者和整体经济带来更多不确定性,这一承诺比以往任何时候都更加重要。过去一年,尽管受到新规带来的成本压力,我们仍加大了在保持低价、进一步提升质量和提供更优质服务方面的投入。因此,顾客选择更多地在我们这里购物,使我们的市场份额达到了十多年来的最高水平。”首席执行官肯·墨菲表示。 在此背景下,乐购董事会提议派发每股0.097英镑的末期股息,高于去年同期的每股0.0945英镑。此次派息计划将全年股息提高5.8%,达到每股0.145英镑,符合公司调整后每股收益50%的股息分配政策。 截至周四中午,这家在伦敦上市的股票上涨了2%。

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.
