UBSは、アルトリアの第1四半期決算が予想を上回ったことで、2026年度の業績予想が修正される可能性があると指摘した。

-- UBS証券は、アルトリア・グループ(MO)が第1四半期決算で予想をわずかに上回る業績を達成し、通期業績予想の上方修正につながる可能性があると指摘した。これは、価格構成比とニコチン入りパウチ「on!」の販売量が低迷しているにもかかわらず、たばこの販売量動向と市場シェアの拡大が好調に推移していることが背景にある。 UBS証券は火曜日の調査レポートで、たばこセグメントの販売量改善がアルトリアの売上高成長回復を後押しすると予想しており、たばこ出荷量の減少幅は市場予想を下回り、販売量シェア拡大の兆候も見られるとしている。 UBS証券は、たばこセグメントの営業利益は関税還付などの要因によって押し上げられると予想しているが、これは低価格ブランド「Basic」による製品構成の圧迫と継続的な投資によって部分的に相殺される。UBSはまた、これらの逆風が緩和されるにつれて、第2四半期以降は価格構成比が改善すると見ている。 無煙たばこセグメントについては、UBSは第1四半期の売上高を2.0%増、on!缶の販売量を4,500万本、営業利益を1.7%減と予測している。これは、第1四半期のグループ売上高とOCI(その他の包括利益)がそれぞれ1.6%増、0.6%増、EPS(1株当たり利益)が2.4%増の1.26ドルとなることを示唆しています。 証券会社は、通期のEPSが5.5%増の5.72ドルになると予想しており、2026年と2027年には成長が加速する可能性があると見ています。UBSは、現時点では業績見通しの変更はないとしています。 アルトリアは4月30日に第1四半期決算を発表する予定です。 UBSは、同社株の投資判断を「買い」に据え置き、目標株価を74ドルとしています。

Global Power Solutions Signs Non-Binding LOI to Evaluate Development of Modular Hydrogen-Powered Energy Project

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved. "The feasibility process will allow both parties to assess technical configuration, commercial structure, and regulatory considerations before determining whether to proceed toward definitive agreements."The company may establish project-level special purpose entities (SPEs) for the development, ownership, financing, and operation of any project facilities. 2782404 is expected to provide site access information, operational requirements, and anticipated power demand profiles to support the feasibility assessment, while Global is expected to lead the technical evaluation and project development planning.The parties also anticipate that the feasibility process will include engineering studies, site suitability assessments, preliminary financial modeling, and evaluation of hydrogen production, storage, and power generation configurations. If the project proceeds beyond feasibility, the parties, it added, may negotiate a long-term power purchase agreement under which electricity generated by the project could potentially be supplied to 2782404 under a defined commercial framework.Shares of the company closed up 10% to $0.32 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
