UBSによると、インテルは第1四半期の見通しに小幅な上振れバイアスを見出し、サーバー事業の好調を背景にEPS予想を引き上げた。

-- UBS証券は月曜日のレポートで、インテル（INTC）の第1四半期決算および通期見通しについて、堅調なPC需要とサーバーCPU需要の急激な回復、そして約10%の価格上昇を背景に、やや上方修正の余地があるとの見方を示した。 同行は、第1四半期の売上高を約125億ドルと予想しており、これはインテルのガイダンスの中間値である122億ドルを上回る。 UBSは、インテルのサーバーCPU売上高の約60%を占めるエンタープライズサーバー需要の好調と継続的な価格上昇が短期的な業績を支えているとしながらも、2026年後半のPC需要の低迷がクライアントセグメントに影響を与える可能性があると警告した。 レポートによると、同行はインテルのファウンドリ事業における好材料として、14Aプロセスの開発進捗状況やPDK 1.0リリース後の顧客との潜在的な契約などを挙げている。また、最近のパートナーシップやAI関連の取り組みは市場心理にプラスに働くものの、短期的な収益に大きな影響を与えるものではないと指摘している。 見通しの改善にもかかわらず、UBSはインテルの長期的な収益力について慎重な姿勢を維持した。強気シナリオにおいても、インテルの1株当たり利益の伸びには限界があると指摘している。 UBSはインテル株の投資判断を「中立」に据え置いたものの、目標株価を51ドルから65ドルに引き上げた。 インテル株は月曜日の取引で0.8%以上下落した。

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.

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.
