-- 香港株式市場は月曜日、イランと米国の外交的打開への期待感から、投資家が慎重ながらも楽観的な見方を維持したことを受け、上昇して取引を終えた。 ハンセン指数は200.74ポイント(約0.8%)上昇し、26,361.07で引けた。ハンセン中国企業指数は54.04ポイント(約0.6%)上昇し、8,899.06で引けた。 米海軍駆逐艦「スプルーアンス」がホルムズ海峡付近でイラン船籍の貨物船「トゥースカ」を拿捕し、イランが米国に警告を発したことで、緊張が高まった。 イランはホルムズ海峡を再び封鎖したと発表したが、ロイター通信はKplerのデータに基づき、土曜日に20隻の船舶が狭い海峡を通過したと報じた。 サウスチャイナ・モーニング・ポスト紙の報道によると、中東情勢の緊迫化は、香港の地理的優位性と中国の経済力による支援のおかげで、香港が国際金融における避難所としての地位を再び確立するのに役立っているという。 同紙によれば、銀行は事業を守るために香港に目を向け、世界の投資家はポートフォリオに中国本土資産を組み入れることについて問い合わせている。 企業ニュースでは、中国本土の企業2社が香港での上場を申請した。 上海希智科技(HKG:1879)は、1株あたり最大183.20香港ドルで1380万株を売却し、最大25億3000万香港ドルの資金調達を目指している。この光電子コンピューティング企業は、調達資金を研究開発の推進に充てる予定だ。 一方、マブウェル(上海)バイオサイエンス(香港証券取引所:2493、上海証券取引所:688062)は、H株4,710万株を1株あたり最大30.71香港ドルで売却し、約14億5,000万香港ドルの資金調達を目指しています。 調達資金は主に、同社の主力製品である9MW2821の臨床試験を、尿路上皮癌、トリプルネガティブ乳癌、子宮頸癌など複数の適応症において推進するために活用される予定です。

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.
