-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下： AA公司公佈2026年第一季調整後每股收益為1.40美元，低於去年同期的2.15美元，較市場預期低0.15美元；營收為31.9億美元，較去年同期下降5.2%（季減7%），低於預期2.3%。儘管受到中東衝突和納雷爾颶風的影響，銷量下滑，但由於鋁價環比上漲12%至每噸4209美元，調整後EBITDA環比增長13%至5.95億美元。我們認為，儘管受到外部幹擾，AA公司的業績依然具有積極意義，這得益於其對鋁價的強勁運營槓桿作用以及4月份圣西普里安冶煉廠成功重啟。管理階層維持2026年全年氧化鋁產量預期為970萬至990萬噸，鋁產量預期為240萬至260萬噸。我們預計，第二季鋁業務的EBITDA將因庫存調整和聖西普里安項目收益而增加約5500萬美元，但部分將被氧化鋁業務約1500萬美元的不利因素以及232條款關稅成本環比增加3500萬美元所抵消。 AA公司14億美元的強勁現金儲備和2.19億美元的債務削減顯示其資金配置穩健。

Paladin Energy Upgrades Namibia Mine Production Guidance, Shares Hit Nearly Two-Year High
Paladin Energy (ASX:PDN) said it now expects fiscal year 2026 triuranium octoxide production of between 4.5 million pounds and 4.8 million pounds, up from previous guidance of 4 million pounds to 4.4 million pounds, from the Langer Heinrich Mine in Namibia, according to a Friday Australian bourse filing.The mine, in which the company holds 75% interest, now has a capital and exploration expenditure guidance of between $15 million and $17 million, down from $26 million to $32 million, due to reprioritization and deferral of capital and exploration expenditure.The company said that the cost of production is expected to materially align with previous guidance of $44 million per pound to $48 million per pound, pending the duration of the current conflict in the Middle East and any further associated impacts on forecast cost.The mine recorded 1.03 million pounds in sales in the fiscal third quarter with 1.29 million pounds of production. Its full-year sales guidance remains unchanged at between 3.8 million pounds and 4.2 million pounds.Paladin said it continues to expect LHM to transition to full mining and processing plant operations by the end of fiscal 2026.The company's shares rose 3% in recent trade and earlier reached their highest price since June 2024.
