-- Superior Plus Corp. (SPB.TO) 週一宣布，該公司將進行策略調整，優先投資其全資子公司 Certarus 的行動壓縮天然氣 (CNG) 解決方案業務，以把握這一不斷增長的機會。 Superior 在一份聲明中表示：“受數據中心及相關基礎設施日益增長的電力和能源需求的驅動，Certarus 不斷獲得重要的新客戶訂單，凸顯了其滿足這一不斷發展的行業規模和可靠性需求的獨特能力。” 據 SPB 稱，Certarus 近期獲得了多項合同，其中包括一項為期兩年半的協議，旨在與一家全球領先的發電解決方案提供商合作，支持一個超大規模數據中心項目。根據該協議，Certarus 將在該設施投入營運後，提供天然氣供應，以支援約 135 兆瓦的主用電力生產。該項目目前正在開發中，預計將於 2027 年年中投入營運。 Certarus 將提供可靠的燃料供應，預計總收入將超過 3 億美元。該公司補充道，合約有效期為 Superior Plus總裁兼執行長Allan MacDonald表示：“隨著電力限制持續挑戰資料中心等大型開發項目，客戶需要可靠的能源供應保障。” SPB表示，資料中心採用壓縮天然氣(CNG)尚處於早期階段，這只是該公司認為有機會的眾多領域之一。 該公司補充道，Certarus將利用其移動壓縮平台，並藉助一支龐大的高容量CNG運輸拖車車隊，為該項目供應天然氣。 Certarus總裁Dale Winger表示：“由於電力需求不斷增長和基礎設施限制，北美各地的數據中心生態系統在確保電網和管道連接方面面臨著越來越長的等待時間。這些挑戰使得對可快速部署和可擴展的能源解決方案的需求日益增長。” SPB將於2026年5月13日（星期三）發布第一季財務業績，屆時將提供有關其財務前景的更多細節。 SPB的股票在多倫多證券交易所(TSX)下跌了近0.5%。 星期五。

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.

Saudi Shares Start Week Higher; US-Iran Peace Talks Canceled
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.
