-- 根據Stifel Canada報道，Gildan Activewear（GIL.TO，GIL）公佈的第一季獲利超出預期。 分析師Martin Landry維持對該股80美元的目標價和「買入」評級。他指出，儘管大宗商品成本上漲，但管理層在財報電話會議上依然充滿信心，因為公司已對相當一部分棉花和能源需求進行了避險。他還補充道，鑑於Gildan在批發通路的領先地位以及低於競爭對手的成本結構，預計到2027年，公司可以透過提價來抵銷通膨壓力。 銷售點數據顯示，Gildan的市佔率持續成長，零售和批發通路的成長率均超過整體市場。 Hanes紡織廠的整合進展順利，Hanes的大部分產量已轉移至Gildan的工廠。 「我們維持原有預測不變，但對2026年的前景更加看好。我們維持目標價80美元不變，這意味著未來12個月有29%的上漲空間，頗具吸引力。」Gildan也位列Stifel精選名單。

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil closed lower Friday as Iran made a new peace proposal, however U.S. President Trump rejected the plan.WTI crude oil for June delivery closed down US$3.13 to US$101.94 per barrel, while July Brent oil was last seen down US$2.177 to US$108.23.Reuters reported Iran offered a new proposal to reach a peace deal with the United States. While details were not disclosed Trump rejected the plan, telling reporters he was not satisfied with the plan. However he confirmed indirect talks mediated by Pakistan are continuing by phone.Oil remains in short supply following the closure of the Strait, the chokepoint for exports from the Persian Gulf nations that accounted for 20% of daily demand. The lack of supply has pushed up crude oil prices by more than half since the Feb.28 start of the war amid shortages of crude oil and refined products, with Nymex gasoline futures up 81% since the war began while supplies of aviation are tightening.The supply crunch comes ahead of the May 23 start to the Memorial Day weekend, the traditional start of the summer driving season, when demand for fuel peaks, which is likely to push prices even higher."With summer demand season quickly approaching, we see a path for oil prices to exceed the 2022 and even 2008 highs, especially as sentiment may finally be shifting on the duration of the Hormuz blockage," Helima Croft, Head of Global Commodity Strategy and MENA Research at RBC Capital Markets, wrote.

CIBC Capital Markets reiterated its outperformer rating on the shares of Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust (PMZ-UN.TO) while raising its price target to C$22.00 from C$20.00 on Thursday, following PMZ's first quarter results on Wednesday.PMZ reported Q1 FFO/unit of $0.425 (-3.2% Y/Y), broadly in line with consensus, noted CIBC."Our 2027 FFO/unit estimate rises by near 2%, as we better reflect the improved leasing cadence on the ground," said CIBC, adding it $22 price target is based on an 11 times 2027 estimated FFO/unit multiple (10.2 times previously), translating to a 5% discount to the bank's revised one-year-out NAV (9% previously), "reflective of its risk, growth prospects, and leverage versus peers."CIBC also reiterated its belief that PMZ unitholders will benefit from occupancy improvements and rent growth over the long term. Tenant relationships for mall operators matter given the reach of their typically national tenant base, CIBC said. Controlling increasingly more productive assets through acquisition and organic growth will increase PMZ's importance to these national tenants, the bank added."PMZ's ability to fund its capex and distribution from its own rents and low balance sheet leverage drive a lower financial risk profile that offsets the risk of owning a higher-risk asset class in enclosed malls," added CIBC. Trading at an implied cap rate of near 8.7% on achievable forecasts, CIBC believes investors are being well compensated for the operating risks involved with owning PMZ units (e.g., anchor tenant transitions) versus the balance of the large-cap Canadian retail REIT universe (trading at estimated implied cap rates of 5.8%-7.1%)."CIBC noted on the call that Primaris will provide a detailed update on its HBC progress in the next 60 days, once it has a significant number of fully executed leases in place, and also that CRU leasing momentum "accelerated meaningfully" in Q1, with management highlighting record new deal volumes and pricing.Price: $19.01, Change: $+0.14, Percent Change: +0.74%
