-- 西班牙石油天然氣生產商雷普索爾(Repsol)的下游業務已顯露出溫和的復甦跡象。 RBC週五在研究報告中指出,其煉油指標平均為每桶10.90美元,接近2025年第四季的水平,這一數字主要受3月強勁業績的提振。 RBC表示,4月迄今,煉油利潤率波動較大,但平均為每桶11.50美元,扣除包括運輸在內的所有可變成本後,這一水平遠低於市場整體利潤率。 RBC指出,這可能反映了原油現貨價差以及原油定價與成品油定價之間的時差。 RBC也提到,過去一周左右,他們收到了幾家美國煉油商(尤其是埃克森美孚(XOM))發布的「混亂」的第一季業績更新。 分析師預測,由於餾分油庫存緊張,煉油利潤率在2026年和2027年將持續高於週期中期水平,雷普索爾有望從中受益。 上游產量與RBC的預期相比“令人失望”,儘管受到一些一次性事件的影響。 RBC將第一季上游獲利預期從3.39億歐元下調至3.34億歐元(3.904億美元),工業獲利預期從6.06億歐元下調至5.3億歐元。 第一季調整後淨利預計為9.85億歐元,低於先前的10.9億歐元,RBC的預期比市場普遍預期低2%。 RBC也修訂了其商品價格預測報告,目前預測今明兩年油價將上漲,並將布蘭特原油長期價格預期從先前的每桶70美元上調至每桶80美元。分析師表示,伊朗衝突可能導致庫存減少,從而支撐煉油利潤率,而雷普索爾的股價通常與這些利潤率走勢一致。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)表示,預計2026年煉油利潤率將保持強勁,並預測雷普索爾2027年的自由現金流收益率將達到11%。 RBC預計,雷普索爾將推遲原計劃於下半年進行的上游業務IPO,直到有更確鑿的證據表明石油市場在中期內將保持強勁。 RBC表示,中東戰爭持續時間延長會增加全球經濟衰退的風險,進而對雷普索爾構成需求面風險。 RBC將雷普索爾的目標股價從先前的29歐元上調至32歐元,並維持對該公司的「跑贏大盤」評級。

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.
