-- RBCキャピタル・マーケッツは月曜日に電子メールで送付したレポートの中で、アーダグ・メタル・パッケージング(AMBP)の第1四半期決算が予想を「上回り」、2026年の見通しを改めて示したことは、飲料缶業界における堅調な需要、価格決定力、そしてインフレの影響が「限定的」であることを示唆しており、ボール(BALL)とクラウン(CCK)にとって好材料となる、と述べた。 同社は、エナジードリンクとノンアルコール飲料の「力強い」トレンドに加え、ワールドカップなどの世界的なイベントによる追い風の可能性が、2026年の販売量増加を1桁台前半の伸びに支える可能性がある一方、各社は「アルミニウム」コストの上昇分を価格に転嫁すると予想されると指摘した。 レポートによると、同社の第1四半期決算は「投入コストの回復」と「欧州におけるヘッジの再評価による利益」に支えられ、予想を約10%上回った。ただし、北米市場の低迷を反映し、世界全体の出荷量は若干減少した。 今後の見通しとして、同社は2026年第2四半期および2027年第2四半期のEBITDA(金利・税金・減価償却費控除前利益)予想をそれぞれ2億1500万ドル、7億6500万ドル、7億9000万ドルに引き上げた。これは、堅調な販売量増加と欧州およびブラジル市場の好調さを理由としている。ただし、報告書によると、原材料費の高騰と「欧州における運賃ヘッジの反転」により、下半期の業績は圧迫される可能性がある。 RBCは、Ardagh Metal Packagingの投資判断を「セクター・パフォーム」とし、目標株価を5ドルとしている。

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise on Cooler Weather Outlook

US natural gas futures climbed in after-hours trading on Monday as a cooler weather outlook and easing supply conditions triggered some short covering.The front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract both rose 0.75% to $2.542 per million British thermal units.Prices briefly touched an intraday high of around $2.63/MMBtu in earlier trade."Nat-gas prices settled higher on Monday as short covering emerged amid colder US weather forecasts, potentially boosting nat-gas heating demand," Barchart said.Weather-driven demand shifts were a key driver. NatGasWeather.com said models have moved cooler versus last week, adding more heating demand days while reducing cooling demand. The forecaster said the change leaves the outlook less bearish and closer to neutral or slightly bullish.On the demand side, residential and commercial consumption increased sharply to 15.2 billion cubic feet per day from 12.5 Bcf/d as cooler temperatures boosted heating needs. Power burn remained steady at 32.5 Bcf/d and is projected to average 30.3 Bcf/d for the week, up from 29 Bcf/d last week, Gelber & Associates said.Total US natural gas production was flat last week, averaging around 106.5 Bcf/d, NRG Energy said. Trading Economics said output fell by around 4.1 Bcf/d over the past 18 days to an 11-week low of 108.1 Bcf/d, as major producers such as EQT scaled back output in response to low prices.Both NRG Energy and Gelber said Canadian imports fell to 4.7-4.8 Bcf/d from 5.5 Bcf/d.On the export side, Barchart, citing BNEF data, said LNG flows were 19.5 Bcf/d, down 2.1% from last week's robust levels. Trading Economics put the April average feedgas flow at 18.9 Bcf/d so far and noted it was near record highs."Today saw cooler forecast revisions, softer production, and steady LNG demand, which offers limited support for prices. That said, overall fundamental balances are not tight enough to fully change the story," Gelber said Monday.
