-- Montage Gold（MAU.TO）週二宣布，經過公開招標和盡職調查，公司已在茅利塔尼亞獲得五項綠地勘探許可證，總面積約2103平方公里。 此次進軍茅利塔尼亞是該公司打造多元化非洲黃金生產商策略的一部分。 這些許可證位於毛里塔尼亞北部雷吉巴特（Reguibat）西部和東部地區。其中四個許可證位於斯法裡亞特（Sfariat）勘探區塊，另一項許可證位於澤德內斯（Zednes）勘探區塊。 Montage將擁有斯法裡亞特許可證100%的權益。此外，該公司還與獲得澤德內斯許可證的SOCIEX達成協議，將獲得該許可證80%的權益，該許可證仍需獲得相關批准。 根據澤德內斯許可證協議，在獲得開採許可證之前，Montage將承擔所有勘探活動的費用。屆時，SOCIEX有權選擇按比例分攤開發支出，或將其所有權轉換為1.0%的冶煉廠淨收益權。 已為2026年在茅利塔尼亞的勘探活動編制了高達200萬美元的初始預算，其中包括計劃於第四季度啟動的初步勘探野外工作和鑽探項目。

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.
