-- 29Metals（ASX：29M）週四向澳洲證券交易所提交的文件顯示，由於需要進行額外的地質技術工作，其位於西澳大利亞的Xantho Extended礦體的採礦重啟計劃已被推遲，導致鋅、金和銀的產量預期下調，但銅的產量預期保持不變。 該公司表示，為恢復斜坡道開採和提高產量所需的地面支撐升級工作仍按計劃於4月完成，但根據對受影響區域進行修訂後的地質技術評估，目前正在進行額外的工作。 文件還指出，該公司將開發替代平巷通道，以減少對高應力區域的風險暴露，該通道預計將於12月季度完工。同時，該公司將繼續從其他礦源開採和選礦，全年銅產量預期保持不變。 該公司下調了其他金屬的全年產量預期，其中鋅的預期產量從之前的4萬至5萬噸下調至5000至2.5萬噸，黃金的預期產量從之前的1.2萬至2萬盎司下調至6000至1.4萬盎司，白銀的預期產量從之前的60萬至80萬盎司下調至40萬盎司。 該公司在文件中補充道，由於生產結構的變化，其銷售成本預期也從先前的5,000萬至7,000萬澳元下調至2,000萬至4,500萬澳元。

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.
