-- 根據Aegis Hedging分析師Christian Drolshagen週四在一份報告中指出,受資料中心和人工智慧基礎設施快速擴張的推動,美國電力需求持續成長,但對天然氣消費的影響可能會有所延遲。 Drolshagen表示,再生能源的成長預計將抵消近期電力需求的大部分成長,從而限制天然氣發電的上漲空間。 預計未來幾年,美國本土48州的電力消耗將溫和成長。 美國能源資訊署預測,2026年夏季的電力需求將比2025年成長約2%,2027年預計將成長3.4%。 儘管存在這種上升趨勢,Drolshagen指出,太陽能和公用事業規模電池儲能裝置的激增正在重塑發電結構。 太陽能發電容量持續快速成長,在白天與天然氣直接競爭,而電池儲能裝置在夜間越來越多地取代效率較低的燃氣調峰電廠。因此,假設氣候條件正常,預計今年夏季電力產業的天然氣需求將與2025年水準持平或略有下降。然而,高於平均的氣溫仍可能因製冷需求增加而推高天然氣需求。 展望未來,2027年後前景將發生變化,屆時電力需求成長預計將開始超過再生能源新增裝置容量。這種動態變化可能導致電力產業天然氣消費量小幅成長。 報告指出,同時,液化天然氣出口需求的成長預計將推高原料氣需求,這可能在本十年末支撐美國天然氣價格。

Research Alert: Fslr Delivers Resilient Results Despite Continued Backlog Shrinkage
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:FSLR delivered record Q1 2026 revenue of $1.04B (+24% Y/Y, in line with consensus) with record module volumes of 3.8 GW, driving gross margin expansion to 46.5% (+570 bps) and diluted EPS of $3.22, beating consensus of $2.83. Adjusted EBITDA reached $519.8M (+37% Y/Y, 12% over consensus) with margin expanding to 49.8% (+500 bps), demonstrating strong operational leverage. Backlog declined to 47.9 GW from 50.1 GW sequentially, a worrisome trend that warrants close monitoring as sales continue outpacing new bookings. Management forecasts Q2 module sales of 3.4-4.0 GW with Section 45X credits of $330-400M. We expect commercial solar project activity may accelerate heading into mid-year as developers rush to meet the July 4, 2026 tax credit eligibility deadline, which could drive an inflection in bookings during Q2 and Q3. Section 45X credits are projected at $2.15B for the full year, and FSLR's integrated manufacturing approach positions the company favorably to capitalize on IRA support.
