雪佛龙公司表示,大宗商品价格上涨将提振其上游业务季度盈利。

-- 雪佛龙(CVX)预计,受中东冲突影响,大宗商品价格上涨将使其上游业务第一季度盈利增加至多22亿美元,但时间因素可能会对这家石油巨头的最终利润造成压力。 该公司周四在一份监管文件中表示,预计油价上涨将使其上游业务在3月份季度的盈利较前三个月增加16亿至22亿美元。 由于美伊周二宣布的为期两周的停火协议前景不明朗,原油价格周四恢复上涨趋势。这场战争始于2月底,由于关键的霍尔木兹海峡关闭,导致能源价格飙升。 西德克萨斯中质原油盘中上涨4.5%,至每桶98.67美元,布伦特原油上涨1.7%,至每桶96.37美元,远高于战前水平。 雪佛龙表示,在商品价格上涨的环境下,与套期保值和会计处理相关的时序性影响“总体上是负面的”,可能对第一季度收益和不计营运资本的经营现金流造成约27亿至37亿美元的损失。 该公司在提交的文件中表示:“这些影响主要集中在下游业务,预计将在未来几个季度逐步消除。” 雪佛龙股价盘中下跌1.2%,使其年初至今的涨幅收窄至约26%。 根据提交的文件,该公司预计下游业务收益将包含约3.5亿至4亿美元的费用,该费用与已停止运营相关的诉讼准备金有关。 雪佛龙表示,预计第一季度上游油当量产量为每日380万至390万桶,主要反映了哈萨克斯坦Tengizchevroil项目的停产以及中东地区产量的下降。 该公司预计将于5月1日前公布第一季度业绩。 周三,规模更大的竞争对手埃克森美孚(XOM)表示,受中东冲突影响,其全球石油当量产量可能在第一季度环比下降约6%。该公司还表示,预计能源价格飙升将提振上游业务的盈利。

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.
