-- Aduro Clean Technologies(ACT.CN)周四宣布,其加氢化学裂解技术(HCT)现已扩展至“高石蜡基”原油。 继重质沥青升级和废塑料化学回收之后,这项进展是HCT的又一潜在应用。它巩固了该技术在多种烃类原料领域的应用地位。 Aduro已向美国专利商标局(USPTO)提交了部分继续专利申请(CIP),以保护这项成果。 石蜡基原油占全球原油产量的20%至33%,但运输和加工方面的限制导致能够接收此类原油的炼油厂范围有限,并降低了其市场价值。然而,声明指出,这些原料因其优良的炼油特性而日益受到认可,包括低硫和低金属含量、高十六烷值柴油收率,以及在润滑油基础油和流化催化裂化装置(FCC)应用中的卓越性能。 “石蜡基原油产量丰富且本身就具有很高的价值,但其全部潜力往往受到繁琐的加工处理要求的限制。此次扩展体现了我们技术在提升其相关性和在整个碳氢化合物价值链中的潜在应用方面迈出的切实一步。我们验证的每一个新应用都巩固了HCT作为平台技术的地位,提升了我们的价值主张,并拓宽了我们未来可以开拓的潜在市场和合作伙伴范围,”首席执行官奥弗·维库斯 (Ofer Vicus) 表示。 周三,Aduro股票在加拿大证券交易所收盘上涨1.12美元,至16.39美元。

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.
