阿联酋股市在关键美国经济数据公布前收低。

-- 由于市场正等待当天晚些时候公布的关键美国经济报告,阿联酋股市收跌。 周四收盘时,富时ADX综合指数下跌0.330%,而DFM综合指数下跌1.45%。 美国经济分析局将于周四公布2月份个人消费支出价格指数(PCE)数据,该指数是美联储衡量通胀的首选指标。 斯蒂费尔金融集团在一份报告中指出:“1月份PCE上涨0.3%,同比上涨2.8%之后,预计2月份将上涨0.4%,同比上涨2.8%,可能与年初的同比涨幅持平。剔除食品和能源成本后,核心PCE预计2月份也将上涨0.4%,同比上涨3.0%,这可能是自去年12月以来最小的年度涨幅。” 在地缘政治方面,由于担心美伊之间脆弱的停火协议,油价再次上涨。以色列对黎巴嫩发动了新的空袭,伊朗称此次袭击阻碍了油轮通过霍尔木兹海峡。 路透社报道称,美国总统特朗普威胁立即对向伊朗供应武器的国家征收50%的关税,也令市场情绪承压。 在国内企业方面,Two Point Zero Group(ADX:2POINTZERO)的股价收跌2.89%。这家投资公司的子公司E Point Zero Holding与Adani Green Energy成立了一家合资企业,在印度开发可再生能源项目。 在迪拜上市的阿联酋综合电信公司(DFM:DU,简称du)从本地和国际贷款机构获得了一笔20亿迪拉姆的新贷款,用于一般公司用途。这家电信公司的股价收跌1.54%。

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.
