UBSによると、ユナイテッド・レンタルズの第1四半期決算は大型プロジェクトとコスト削減により予想を上回った。

-- UBS証券によると、ユナイテッド・レンタルズ(URI)の第1四半期決算が予想を上回り、業績見通しも上方修正されたのは、大型プロジェクトの堅調な遂行とコスト削減が要因だという。 同社は水曜遅くに第1四半期の調整後1株当たり利益(希薄化後)が前年同期の8.86ドルから9.71ドルに増加したと発表した。売上高は37億2000万ドルから39億9000万ドルに増加した。また、ユナイテッド・レンタルズは2026年の売上高見通しを従来の168億ドル~173億ドルから169億ドル~174億ドルに引き上げた。 UBSは木曜のレポートで、第1四半期の利益率が予想を上回ったと指摘した。賃貸粗利益率と一般賃貸利益率は前年同期比で上昇したが、専門賃貸利益率は依然として低迷しているものの、前期比で改善した。物件再配置コストによる逆風も前年同期比で大幅に軽減した。 非住宅建設支出は下半期に加速し、EBITDAの成長を牽引すると予想される。しかし、UBSは、年後半にはプロジェクト関連の変動要因が依然として存在する可能性があると指摘した。同社はユナイテッド・レンタルズの投資判断を「買い」に据え置き、目標株価を1,205ドルとした。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Share Of Rexford Industrial Realty Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $4 to $41, applying a forward P/FFO multiple of 17.1x on our 2026 FFO estimate, a discount to its 19.2x three-year forward average. We leave our 2026 FFO/share estimate unchanged at $2.40 but lower 2027's by $0.07 to $2.47. Negative re-leasing spreads remain our base case for 2026, but we believe infill properties in Southern California have structural barriers preventing new supply from coming online. Leasing rose 70% Y/Y in Q1 and we expect re-leasing spreads at 6%-9% in 2027, supported by a lack of new supply and higher occupancy rates. REXR's current capital recycling strategy, aimed at selling sub-4% cap rate properties and either repurchasing shares or redeveloping properties, should lift total portfolio returns higher next year. We note demand in Southern California remains strongest for spaces under 50K sq ft, which are REXR's core focus, and believe increased advanced manufacturer demand in the San Fernando Valley and South Bay markets could accelerate this year.
