-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）和加拿大帝国商业银行资本市场（CIBC Capital Markets）的分析师分别将Waste Connections Inc.（股票代码：WCN.TO，WCN）的目标股价从210美元上调至218美元，以及从197美元上调至198美元。 RBC分析师Sabahat Khan在Waste Connections Inc.周四公布季度业绩后，维持了对这家在多伦多证券交易所和加拿大证券交易所双重上市的综合废物处理服务公司股票的“跑赢大盘”评级。 该股在多伦多证券交易所上涨17.65美元，涨幅约8%，收于231.36美元。 Khan在给客户的报告中表示：“WCN公布的第一季度调整后EBITDA/EPS业绩超出市场预期，同时重申了2026年的业绩指引。” “总体而言，我们认为WCN在2026年仍处于有利地位。鉴于年初的强劲开局，其业绩指引仍保持保守，大宗商品价格上涨（对勘探与生产业务有利，回收价格也开始朝着正确的方向发展）、更有利的宏观环境（固体废物处理量连续第六个季度增长，可能表明存在一些被压抑的需求）以及并购活动（项目储备充足）都为公司带来了增长潜力。”分析师表示。 加拿大帝国商业银行（CIBC）分析师Kevin Chiang维持了对该股的“跑赢大盘”评级。 “WCN在公布强劲的第一季度业绩后股价大幅上涨，凸显了其商业模式在当前地缘政治环境下的韧性。”Chiang在给客户的报告中写道。 “基本面依然强劲，WCN的2026年业绩指引存在上行潜力。”分析师表示。 蒋先生表示：“此外，我们预计WCN的每股收益增长趋势将在2026年上半年之后再次加速。我们认为第一季度业绩是WCN股价及其市场情绪的一个转折点。”

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.
