Stifel CanadaはATSの投資判断を「買い」に維持し、目標株価を52.00カナダドルに据え置いた。

-- スティフェル・カナダは月曜日、ATS(ATS.TO)株の買い推奨と目標株価52.00カナダドルを維持した。同社は、米国による新たな関税措置の影響は小さいと見ている。 「鉄鋼とアルミニウムに対するセクション232関税の拡大は、ATSに重大な影響を与えないと考えています。ATSは、高性能ロボットシステムの設計・構築・サービスを含むグローバルなエンドツーエンドの自動化プロバイダーであり、ライフサイエンス(売上高の約60%)を含む重要なエンドマーケットへのエクスポージャーを有しています。ATSの収益の約20%は、カナダとヨーロッパから米国へのフローに関連しており、その大部分は現在USMCAの下で免除されており、シカゴ施設の大幅な拡張を含むリスク軽減策が進行中です。関税状況は依然として流動的であり、セクション232は影響を受ける他のいくつかの企業に疑問を投げかけていますが、ATSのグローバルな事業展開、契約上の保護措置、およびミッションクリティカルなプロジェクトの長期性(12~18ヶ月)により、この段階では十分な柔軟性をもって対応できると考えています。また、新CEO(1月就任)のダグ・ライト氏やATSの筆頭株主であるメイソン・キャピタルによる、現在の水準に近い1株あたり約41カナダドルでの最近のインサイダー買いも心強いです」とアナリストのジャスティン・キーウッド氏は述べています。 (は、北米、アジア、ヨーロッパの主要銀行および調査会社による株式、商品、経済に関する調査レポートを配信しています。調査レポート提供者の方は、こちらからお問い合わせください:https://www..com/contact-us

Fortescue Faces Pressure From Iron Bridge Weakness, Green Energy Shift, Jefferies Says

Fortescue (ASX:FMG) reported softer quarterly performance alongside ongoing challenges at Iron Bridge and increased spending on non-core green energy projects, raising concerns over returns and valuation, Jefferies said in an April 24 note.The company reported a softer quarter due to seasonal and weather impacts, with solid performance from its Pilbara hematite operations offset by ongoing underperformance at the Iron Bridge magnetite project, which continues to face throughput and margin challenges and may struggle to justify its value.Jefferies noted that the company's $680 million investment in green energy capacity for third-party customers, such as industrial users and data centers, represents a strategic shift, but views it as non-core capital allocation that may justify a higher discount rate for its mining business until clearer returns emerge.The equity research firm said that the company's Pilbara system is nearing port capacity constraints, a "good problem" that may allow higher-margin hematite production to displace costlier Iron Bridge volumes, as the company reviews its portfolio, trims Iron Bridge output, and keeps overall shipment guidance broadly unchanged.The research firm added that the company remains financially solid with $4.2 billion in cash despite dividends and capital expenditure outflows and is expected to return to a net cash position longer term, but highlighted Iron Bridge uncertainty and higher green energy spending as risks, including a potential write-down, supporting a cautious outlook.Jefferies maintained an underperform rating on Fortescue and reduced the price target to AU$16.50 from AU$17.50.

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.
