-- Redfin周一发布的一项调查显示,3月份美国房屋卖家数量接近买家数量,这一比例接近历史最高水平。 据这家在线房地产经纪公司称,上个月房屋卖家数量比买家数量高出约43%,而去年12月的差距略高于45%,创历史新高。3月份的差距比去年同期的28%有所上升。 Redfin的数据显示,3月份市场上的购房者数量约为139万,与上月相比变化不大,但同比下降了10%。卖家数量环比和同比均略有下降,接近200万。 Redfin的报告指出:“房屋卖家之所以减少挂牌出售,部分原因是买家需求疲软。一些卖家在房屋长期无人问津后选择撤回挂牌,而另一些卖家则在看到附近房屋以低于要价的价格售出后,干脆放弃挂牌出售。” 据Redfin追踪的美国49个都市区中,3月份有38个是买方市场,而去年同期为29个。 Redfin表示,迈阿密、纳什维尔、德克萨斯州奥斯汀、圣安东尼奥和拉斯维加斯的卖家数量是买家的两倍多。 Redfin高级房地产经纪人芭芭拉·库珀表示:“高额的房产税、不断上涨的保险费用以及对就业保障的担忧,使得购房者非常挑剔。市场上的买家想要的是各方面都符合要求的拎包入住的房子,而且由于我们有大量的房源,他们可以耐心等待而不妥协。” Redfin周四表示,由于中东冲突和高昂的成本抑制了需求,美国待售房屋数量出现了近一年来的最大降幅。 全美住宅建筑商协会和富国银行周三表示,受经济不确定性以及建筑材料成本和利率上涨的影响,美国房屋建筑商信心本月跌至去年9月以来的最低水平。

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.
