調査速報:アルク:燃料価格の逆風により第1四半期の損失が拡大。通期業績見通しを一時停止。

-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。アラスカ航空(ALK)は、第1四半期の調整後EPSが-1.68ドルとなり、前年同期の-0.77ドルから悪化し、市場予想の-1.55ドルも下回りました。一方、売上高は33億ドル(前年同期比+5.2%)で、市場予想と一致しました。単位売上高は、法人旅行(+19%)とプレミアムセグメントの好調に牽引され、3.5%増加しましたが、空港関連費用、整備費用、パイロット訓練費の増加により、単位コストは6.3%増加しました。ハワイアン航空との統合とアラスカ・アクセラレート戦略は、予定よりも早く成果を上げており、シアトル~東京線は就航から1年以内に黒字化を達成し、搭乗率も90%を超えました。経営陣は燃料費の変動を理由に通期業績見通しを一時停止しましたが、ALKは長期的な成長軌道に自信を持っています。今後の見通しとしては、第2四半期の燃料費は1ガロンあたり平均4.50ドルになると予想され、これは前期比51%増、6億ドルの逆風となり、1株当たり3.60ドルに相当します。現在の燃料価格動向と業績見通しの停止を考慮すると、2027年の1株当たり利益(EPS)目標である10ドルの達成はますます困難になると考えられますが、統合期間中の卓越した業務遂行能力は、経営陣の実行力を示しています。

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.
