Intertek集团第一季度业绩强劲,股价飙升,并启动潜在业务拆分方案的审查。

By

-- 周二,受强劲的第一季度业绩以及一项旨在可能分拆其能源基础设施和测试部门的战略评估公告的提振,Intertek集团(ITRK.L)股价上涨超过12%。 这家英国认证、测试和评估公司正在评估分拆其Intertek能源与基础设施部门和Intertek测试与认证部门的可能性。此次评估旨在确定,成立独立的专业实体是否能够加快市场执行速度并提高股东的长期回报。 此举计划于2027年中期通过出售或分拆的方式实施,旨在帮助加速公司在“极具吸引力且不断增长”的质量保证领域的业务增长。 加拿大皇家银行资本市场对这项“出人意料”的战略评估持乐观态度,并指出在充满挑战的地缘政治环境下,买家“可能会谨慎行事”。 加拿大皇家银行(RBC)在一份简报中指出:“分拆存在成本重复和流动性降低、投资者群体缩小的风险,但鉴于全球大型企业对整合的渴望,我们认为许多投资者会认为分拆后企业持续保持独立的可能性有限。”该报告还补充道,投资者的关注点可能会迅速转向潜在收购方,以及独立运营的业务部门能否获得更高的估值倍数。 Intertek 也公布了截至 3 月 31 日的三个月的业绩,集团营收为 8.385 亿英镑,按实际汇率计算增长 3.7%,按固定汇率计算增长 6.7%。该公司同店营收为 8.283 亿英镑,按实际汇率计算同比增长 2.4%,按固定汇率计算增长 5.4%。 首席执行官安德烈·拉克鲁瓦表示,在消费品业务、企业保障业务中基于风险的保障业务两位数增长以及健康与安全、工业与基础设施业务的强劲需求的推动下,集团2026年开局强劲。他补充道:“运营现金流和自由现金流表现强劲,加之我们稳健的资产负债表,使我们能够继续投资,抓住未来令人振奋的增长机遇。” 在此背景下,Intertek重申了其2026年全年展望,称其“有望”实现按固定汇率计算的中等个位数同店收入增长、持续的利润率扩张以及“强劲”的盈利增长和自由现金流。

EMEA Oil Update: Oil Future Extend Rally as Diplomatic Hopes Fade

Crude oil prices climbed Monday after efforts to revive US-Iran peace talks in Pakistan collapsed over the weekend, effectively erasing hopes for a near-term resumption of energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz.The Brent futures contract gained 2.1% to $107.57 per barrel. Murban closed at $103.59 on April 24 and was not trading as of the time of publishing this oil price update."Oil is trading stronger this morning after attempts to get US-Iran peace talks back on track broke down, erasing hopes for a resumption of energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz anytime soon," ING analysts said.The diplomatic cooling began when President Donald Trump abruptly cancelled a planned trip to Islamabad for top envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, reportedly stating there was no point "sitting around talking about nothing."This withdrawal coincided with the arrival of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Pakistan, though no direct engagement occurred.The subsequent impact on supply is stark. Bloomberg ship tracking data revealed that only two chemical tankers and one LPG carrier left the Persian Gulf on Friday.Meanwhile ANZ analysts noted that the US blockade continues to sideline about 1.7 million barrels per day of Iranian exports.Despite the breakdown, some market volatility was tempered by reports from Axios and ING suggesting Iran has submitted a fresh proposal via Pakistani mediators.This offer reportedly proposes reopening the waterway and de-escalating the conflict while delaying nuclear negotiations to a later stage."However, there are newswire reports this morning that Iran has offered the US a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while delaying nuclear negotiations for a later stage," ING noted.
