RBC表示,受服务器CPU需求强劲提振,英特尔有望“小幅超预期”。

-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)周二在一份电子邮件报告中表示,受强劲的服务器中央处理器(CPU)需求推动,英特尔(INTC)预计将公布其第一财季业绩“略微超出预期”。 该券商预计,这家芯片制造商将于周四公布经调整后的每股收益和营收,分别高于RBC此前对3月份季度盈亏平衡和122亿美元的预期。FactSet目前的共识预期是,英特尔的非GAAP每股收益为0.02美元,营收为124.2亿美元。 RBC分析师Srini Pajjuri表示:“我们预计,受强劲的服务器CPU需求推动,英特尔的业绩将略微超出预期。(个人电脑)市场目前看来也保持稳定。” RBC预计,英特尔数据中心和人工智能部门第一财季的营收为43亿美元,同比增长3%,并有增长空间。 “尽管需求依然强劲,但管理层预计内部晶圆供应限制将在(第一季度)最为严峻,这可能会限制短期内的上涨空间,”帕朱里写道。“近期媒体报道指出英特尔正在提价,这应该会有所帮助。” 对于本季度,RBC预计英特尔将发布高于华尔街预期的131亿美元营收和0.09美元调整后每股收益的业绩展望,这主要得益于服务器CPU需求的增长和晶圆供应的改善。 RBC预计,数据中心和人工智能业务在第二季度将实现10%的环比增长,并认为在供应改善和价格健康的情况下,该业务具有潜在的增长空间。该券商在报告中表示,预计服务器需求将继续受益于智能人工智能的发展,并认为行业供应在2026年之前仍将保持“紧张”状态。 RBC维持对英特尔股票的“与行业持平”评级,目标价为48美元。 该公司股价周二下午上涨0.3%,今年以来累计涨幅接近79%。 去年,美国政府同意投资89亿美元购买英特尔普通股,以此作为获得该公司股份协议的一部分。此外,英伟达(NVDA)也同意向英特尔注资50亿美元,双方合作旨在开发新型数据中心和个人电脑芯片。

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.

The Tadawul All Share Index closed Sunday 0.11% higher as investors assessed the latest updates regarding the conflict in the Middle East.US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social account that the Pakistani trip for his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, was canceled. The announcement dimmed the hopes for peace talks between Iran and the US to happen any time soon.Further to this, Israel launched an attack in Lebanon on April 25. The strikes, which targeted Hezbollah, resulted in four casualties and facility damage in Southern Lebanon.Back at home, Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical (SASE:2380), d/b/a Petro Rabigh, and Thob Al Aseel (SASE:4012) posted their financial results for the three months ended March 31. 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.
