ISM和标普调查显示,4月份制造业活动增长,但战争造成的经济混乱加剧了价格压力。

By

-- 两项调查周五显示,尽管受中东冲突影响,通胀压力加剧,但美国制造业4月份仍保持增长。 美国供应管理协会(ISM)采购经理人指数(PMI)上月环比持平,为52.7。彭博社汇总的一项调查显示,市场普遍预期该指数为53.2。PMI高于50表明制造业整体处于扩张状态。 道明经济高级经济学家维克拉姆·雷在一份报告中指出:“4月份的ISM报告表明,美国制造业近期的反弹势头可能正在放缓,凸显出其扩张依然脆弱。尽管新订单增长仍在持续,但稳定的总体PMI和下降的生产指数表明增长势头正在降温。” 4月份新订单指数环比升至54.1,高于上月的53.5;而生产指数则从55.1降至53.4。就业指数从48.7回落至46.4,连续第31个月处于萎缩状态。ISM调查显示,物价指数从78.3跃升至84.6,创下2022年4月以来的最高水平,并在过去三个月中上涨了约26个百分点。 “物价指数飙升至多年高位,与此同时供应商交付速度明显放缓,这表明供应链压力和通胀压力正在加剧,而能源价格飙升和战争相关干扰正是造成这一压力的根源,”Rai表示。“这些重新抬头的价格压力令美联储保持警惕,也印证了市场预期,即短期内不太可能出台任何额外的货币政策宽松措施。” 本周早些时候,美联储连续第三次会议维持基准贷款利率不变,称中东冲突加剧了美国经济前景的不确定性。 标普全球(SPGI)周五表示,其制造业采购经理人指数(PMI)上月升至54.5,高于3月份的52.3,创下自2022年5月以来制造业经济“最强劲”的扩张。然而,该数据提供商指出,投入和产出价格的涨幅加快,各组成部分的通胀率均创下10个月以来的“最高水平”。 标普全球市场情报首席商业经济学家克里斯·威廉姆森表示:“推动经济回暖的关键因素是企业需要抢在价格进一步上涨和供应短缺之前做好准备,这带来了短期提振,但随着经济逆风持续加剧,这种提振作用可能会在未来几个月逐渐消退。” 威廉姆森表示:“自疫情爆发以来,采购活动增速达到了四年来的最高水平。与此同时,供应延迟和价格上涨的现象日益普遍,而这些上涨通常与中东战争有关,加剧了关税带来的供应和通胀压力。” 由于美以与伊朗的战争导致经由至关重要的霍尔木兹海峡的运输中断,能源价格飙升。这场始于2月底的战争,在华盛顿和德黑兰近期达成停火协议后暂时中止,但双方尚未就永久停火达成一致。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Cms Energy Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $1 to $87, 22.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate, above peers and CMS's three-year historical average of 18.4x. We trim both our 2026 and 2027 EPS views by $0.02 to $3.88 and $4.17, respectively. CMS posted Q1 adjusted EPS growth of 10.8%. CMS announced that two hyperscaler data centers had reached commercial agreement on contract terms and signed 110 MW of new load in Q1 alone (exceeding all of 2025's signings), with expected load coming online starting in 2028, all incremental to the current plan. Each 1 GW of new load provides $2B-$5B in capital investment opportunities while reducing average customer rate growth by ~2%. We think CMS offers competitive near-term EPS (~7.6% 2025-2028 CAGR) and dividend growth trajectories (~5.8%). In our view, Michigan is one of the most supportive regulatory districts in the country, with CMS's most recent electric rate case outcome highlighting regulatory willingness to support prudent investments through multiple recovery mechanisms.

Life Time Set for Strong Q1 Comparable Club Growth, UBS Says

Life Time (LTH) is expected to post robust comparable club growth in Q1, with slightly better-than-expected revenue and EBITDA, as investors focus on concerns around member growth metrics per center and spending trends in a softer macro environment, UBS Securities said Friday.Ahead of the company's Q1 results on Tuesday, the investment firm said it sees upside to its Q1 EBITDA estimate of $215 million and expects comparable club revenue growth of about 7% to 7.5%.UBS said the key investor debate centers on whether the company can sustain growth in revenue per member and overall club economics amid pressure on consumer spending.The brokerage also noted that Life Time could continue repurchasing stock from sponsors, helping reduce overhang, while keeping leverage below its 2x target.UBS has a buy rating on the stock, with a price target of $43.Price: $26.68, Change: $-0.13, Percent Change: -0.50%
