-- Kraken Robotics(PNG.V)は木曜日、5社の顧客から総額2,800万ドルの新規受注を獲得したと発表した。これには、同社のSeaPowerバッテリーと合成開口ソナー(SAS)の新規顧客2社が含まれる。 3Dイメージングセンサー、電源ソリューション、ロボットシステムなど、水中情報製品を提供する同社は、今回の新規受注には、大手国際防衛企業3社からのバッテリー契約と、新規商用無人潜水機(UUV)メーカーからのSAS受注が含まれていると述べた。 グレッグ・リード最高経営責任者(CEO)によると、Kraken Roboticsの製品は現在、「世界中で30種類以上のUUVプラットフォームに搭載済み、または搭載準備中」となっている。 Krakenは別途、2025年12月31日締めの第4四半期決算を発表し、連結売上高は前年同期の2,810万ドルとほぼ横ばいの2,840万ドルだったと述べた。 SeaPower社の海底バッテリー、SAS(海底支援システム)、および海底サービス事業の成長は、遠隔機雷探知・廃棄システム(RMDS)プロジェクト関連の収益減少によって相殺されました。 純利益は5万4000カナダドルとなり、前年の1370万カナダドルから大幅に減少しました。前年は多額の法人税控除を受けていました。 Kraken社は、2026年度の売上高見通しを3月3日時点で1億6500万ドルから1億7500万ドル、調整後EBITDAを4000万ドルから5000万ドル(Covelya買収による貢献分を除く)と改めて表明しました。 同社の2026年度の見通しは、既存および新規受注によって支えられています。また、LiDARサービス(旧3D at Depth)の通年貢献を含む、商業サービス事業の成長も期待されています。2026年度の売上高は、下半期に集中すると予想されます。 クラーケンの株価は水曜日、トロント証券取引所ベンチャー市場で0.05ドル下落し、8.45ドルで取引を終えた。

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.
