-- RBCキャピタル・マーケッツは、米イラン紛争の長期的な影響の可能性を鑑み、商品価格見通しを引き上げた。 アナリストらは、需給のファンダメンタルズの逼迫を受け、2026～2028年のブレント原油／WTI原油の均衡価格を10ドル引き上げ80ドル／75ドルに、ヘンリーハブ天然ガス価格を0.25ドル引き上げ4.00ドルにそれぞれ引き上げた。 RBCの調査レポートは、「今回の引き上げは、湾岸地域における継続的な副次的被害と、エネルギー安全保障の観点からの世界的な原油需要の高まりを反映している」と述べている。 また、年初来で50%以上上昇した株式評価額の急騰を受け、自社株買いの動きは鈍化する可能性が高いと付け加えた。 トレーディングアイデアに関して、RBCは大手企業ではコノコフィリップス（COP）とEOGリソーシズ（EOG）、中小規模企業ではカリフォルニア・リソーシズ（CRC）、パーミアン・リソーシズ（PR）、コード・エナジー・グループ（CHRD）、ガス企業ではエクスパンド・エナジー（EXE）を推奨銘柄として挙げた。 RBCは、商品価格の見通し修正を反映し、1株当たり利益（EPS）からキャッシュフローへの比率の予想を平均45%引き上げたと発表した。この比率は、石油関連企業では概ね55%近く上昇している。 これに伴い、目標株価も平均27%引き上げたとレポートは述べている。

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.
