-- Euroz Hartleys在4月17日的報告中指出，Amplitude Energy (ASX:AEL)與AGL Energy (ASX:AGL)簽署了一項基礎天然氣銷售協議(GSA)，從而增強了其長期生產前景。該協議提高了合約產量，如果鑽探工作持續順利，公司估值有望上漲。 該公司將在四年內從其東海岸供應項目(ECSP)供應20拍焦耳的天然氣，預計從2028年下半年開始交付，價格將與交貨時的石油和市場狀況掛鉤。 Euroz Hartleys估計，假設日產量為60太焦耳，且ECSP剩餘的鑽探計劃（包括Annie油田的開發以及對高機率的Juliet和Nestor勘探區的成功評估）全部完成，則目前約有80%的預期產量已簽訂合約。 這家股票研究公司指出，AGL的合約與該公司先前與Energy Australia簽訂的協議不同，因為它與石油價格掛鉤，並可能在合約期間根據石油市場情況帶來更高的實際價格。 該公司表示，多項基礎天然氣供應協議(GSA)顯示市場對該公司鑽探計畫和資源基礎充滿信心，並維持對該公司估值的正面看法。 Euroz Hartleys維持對Amplitude Energy的「買進」評級，目標價為3.25澳元，但目前仍在評估中。 Amplitude Energy的股價在周一的交易中下跌了5%，而AGL Energy的股價下跌了2%。

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.
