研究快訊:Alk:受燃料價格不利因素影響,第一季虧損擴大;公司暫停全年業績指引

-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師總結如下:阿拉斯加航空(ALK)公佈第一季調整後每股收益為-1.68美元,較上年同期的-0.77美元有所擴大,低於市場普遍預期的-1.55美元;營收為33億美元(成長5.2%),符合預期。單位營收成長3.5%,主要得益於強勁的商務旅行(成長19%)和高端市場的成長,但單位成本因機場營運、維護和飛行員培訓壓力而上漲6.3%。夏威夷航線整合和「阿拉斯加加速計畫」(Alaska Accelerate)的進展均提前於預期,西雅圖-東京航線在開通一年內即實現盈利,客座率超過90%。由於燃油成本波動,管理層暫停發布全年業績指引,但阿拉斯加航空對其長期發展前景仍充滿信心。展望未來,第二季燃油成本預計為每加侖4.50美元,季增51%,將帶來6億美元的成本壓力,相當於每股3.60美元。鑑於目前的燃油市場動態和業績指引暫停,我們認為2027年每股收益10美元的目標將越來越難以實現,但整合過程中的卓越營運展現了管理層的執行能力。

Market Chatter: Japan to Back Biofuel Pilot in Mozambique, Ghana with 4 Billion Yen Funding

Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will provide 4 billion yen or $25.2 million in subsidies to support a large-scale marine biofuel pilot initiative in Mozambique and Ghana, according to a Nikkei report on Tuesday.The funding is aimed at covering startup costs until the project becomes profitable, with the dual objective of diversifying energy sources while aiding the environment and local farmers, the publication said.The initiative, led by Tokyo-based Nippon Biofuel, will cultivate jatropha. This hardy plant grows in poor soil and produces oil-rich seeds without straining food supplies, unlike corn or other biofuel crops, the news daily said.Fuel production facilities will be built in both countries, where local workers will be employed to handle all stages from cultivation to manufacturing, the report said.The resulting biofuel is expected to power domestic Japanese cargo vessels, Africa-bound freight ships, and commercial boats based in Singapore, offering a solution to multiple challenges, it added.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
