-- 根據Redfin週四發布的數據顯示,截至4月5日的四周內,美國待售房屋數量創下三個月來最大跌幅,原因是抵押貸款利率飆升至去年9月以來的最高水平。 這家線上房地產經紀公司的數據顯示,待售房屋數量較去年同期下降2.4%至87,473套,週抵押貸款利率則躍升至6.46%。 Redfin數據記者達娜·安德森表示:“伊朗戰爭及其引發的市場動盪是導致抵押貸款利率上漲的原因。” “戰爭也加劇了經濟的普遍不確定性,使許多潛在購房者望而卻步。” “週二宣布的停火協議導致油價下跌,提振了市場,並可能有助於將抵押貸款利率降至6%左右的低點。” 羅德島州普羅維登斯、休士頓和紐約的房屋銷售額均暴跌超過15%,而佛羅裡達州西棕櫚灘的銷售額則領漲。 在過去四週內,新增房源數量較去年同期下降2.6%至101,059套,創下月度最大降幅。 「雖然新增房源數量成長放緩,但全國幾乎所有地區仍然是強勁的買方市場,」安德森表示。 Zillow集團(Z,ZG)週一表示,儘管抵押貸款利率上升,但3月新待售房源數量仍創下自2021年以來的單月最快增速。 抵押貸款利率上升和房屋銷售價格2.2%的年增長率——這是自…以來最大的漲幅根據 Redfin 的報告,一年內,每月抵押貸款還款額已增至 2750 美元,比一年前上漲了 0.2%。

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.
