-- 3月の住宅着工件数は前月比10.8%増の年率換算150万2000戸となり、2月の135万6000戸から大幅に増加しました。これは、ブルームバーグが東部時間午前7時40分時点でまとめた調査で予想されていた138万戸を大きく上回る水準です。 一方、3月の建築許可件数は前月比10.8%減の年率換算137万2000戸となり、予想の139万戸を下回りました。2月は153万8000戸に増加していました。許可は得たものの着工に至っていない住宅も減少したため、来月の着工件数増加の見通しは悲観的です。 住宅完成件数は前月比0.1%増の年率換算136万6000戸となりました。前月は6.3%減少していましたが、前年同月比では12.8%減少しています。

Werner Enterprises' Pivot to Dedicated Services May Reduce Torque, Morgan Stanley Says
Werner Enterprises' (WERN) move away from one-way truckload toward dedicated fleet services just as the market turns may reduce the company's immediate torque to the truckload cycle, Morgan Stanley said in a note Tuesday.Overall, the investment firm said the company may benefit from the shift as the dedicated business is likely to be a "big share-gainer" in an upcycle, with management lifting its full-year dedicated rate guidance on a "very strong" pipeline.Management said Q1 saw the "strongest" pricing inflection in over 3 years and Q2 guidance indicates a modest upside to consensus, while being consistent with Morgan Stanley estimates, according to the note.While one-way truckload revenue per total mile guidance of 1% to 4% growth in Q2 was a little soft versus market trends, management said this reflects the pivot into dedicated, the firm said.Morgan Stanley said Werner remains somewhat of a show-me story within truckload, given the timing of its pivot, completing the FirstFleet acquisition, and proving it has resolved some of its recent cost issues.Morgan Stanley maintained an overweight rating on the stock and lifted the price target to $47 from $45.Shares of Werner Enterprises rose more than 6% in Wednesday trading.Price: $36.68, Change: $+2.28, Percent Change: +6.63%
