AT&Tの第1四半期決算は市場予想を上回り、通期業績見通しも維持

-- AT&T(T)は水曜日、予想を上回る第1四半期決算を発表し、通期業績見通しを改めて表明した。 同社は3月期の調整後1株当たり利益が0.57ドルとなり、前年同期の0.51ドルから増加し、ファクトセットのコンセンサス予想である0.55ドルを上回った。営業収益は2.9%増の315億1000万ドルとなり、市場予想の312億5000万ドルを上回った。 ジョン・スタンキー最高経営責任者(CEO)は声明の中で、「高度なインターネット接続サービスの顧客純増数は過去最高の第1四半期となり、当社が築き上げてきた強固な資産基盤を証明した」と述べた。「今四半期に実施した施策は、顧客価値提案の向上、事業規模の拡大、そして成長加速への取り組みを示すものだ」と付け加えた。 AT&Tは、2026年の調整後EPSを2.25ドルから2.35ドルの範囲と引き続き予想しています。市場予想は非GAAPベースのEPSが2.30ドルです。サービス売上高は、今年度も引き続き1桁台前半の成長を見込んでいます。 株価は直近のプレマーケット取引で1.8%下落しました。 同社によると、第1四半期の先進接続事業の売上高は、サービス売上高が3.6%、無線機器販売台数の増加による機器売上高が9.3%それぞれ増加したことが要因となり、4.7%増の284億7000万ドルとなりました。無線サービス売上高は、普及率の低いカテゴリーにおける個人向け無線加入者数の増加と統合アカウントの増加により、1.7%増加しました。 従来事業の売上高は、主にサービス需要の減少により、25%減の17億7000万ドルとなりました。ラテンアメリカ地域の売上高は11億7000万ドルとなり、前年同期の9億7100万ドルから増加しました。 AT&Tは当四半期にポストペイド携帯電話の新規加入者を29万4000人獲得しました。これは前年同期の32万4000人からは減少していますが、FactSetのアナリスト予想である26万7000人を上回っています。前四半期には42万1000人の新規加入者を獲得していました。

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.
