高盛第一季業績超出預期;執行長表示伊朗戰爭曠日持久會帶來通膨風險

-- 高盛(GS)公佈的第一季業績超出市場預期,但執行長大衛·所羅門表示,曠日持久的中東衝突可能對通膨構成上行風險。 該銀行公佈的截至3月份的季度每股收益為17.55美元,高於去年同期的14.12美元,也高於FactSet調查的16.47美元的預期。淨收入成長14%至172.3億美元,超過華爾街預期的169.9億美元。 週一,該行股價下跌3.6%。 根據FactSet的電話會議記錄,執行長大衛·所羅門在財報電話會議上表示:「隨著季度的推進,宏觀環境開始對市場情緒造成壓力,市場波動性顯著增加,這主要是由於對人工智慧驅動的顛覆性變革以及軟體等行業的擔憂,部分私人信貸領域的不確定性加劇,以及中東衝突的影響。」 自2月底美以與伊朗爆發戰爭以來,能源價格飆升。儘管美伊雙方已同意暫時停火,但週末在巴基斯坦舉行的談判未能達成協議。 索羅門告訴分析師:“目前,伊朗經濟基本面仍然相對強勁。但如果衝突解決進程拖延,可能會對某些領域構成不利影響,尤其是通膨趨勢。” 索羅門預測今年監管環境將更加有利,但他表示,地緣政治格局仍然「非常複雜」。 美國中央司令部週日表示,美軍將於週一開始封鎖進出伊朗港口的海上交通。 索羅門告訴分析師,由於中東衝突,首次公開募股(IPO)活動“略有放緩,尤其是在3月份”,但第一季度投資銀行費用受益於併購交易量的增長。 高盛全球銀行及市場業務收入較去年同期成長19%,達到127.4億美元。投資銀行費用收入飆漲48%,主要得益於諮詢和股票承銷收入的顯著成長。固定收益、外匯及大宗商品收入下降10%。 資產及財富管理業務收入成長10%,達到40.8億美元,主要得益於管理費及其他費用的成長,但部分被私人銀行及貸款收入的下降所抵銷。

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.
