PPAMPicture/iStock via Getty Images Today, I'm initiating coverage of financial stock Evercore ( EVR ) for the first time, as it is a great moment to take a deeper dive into some major financial firms, with this one in particular having beaten its last 4 earnings results , the most recent one in early February. From its company website , the firm calls itself "a premier global independent investment banking firm," while also mentioning its work in other segments like equities research, wealth and investment management, among others. Notably, its wealth management arm, Evercore Wealth Management , has around ~$15.5B in AUM. Read on to learn more about how I reviewed this stock across 8 rating categories, and how I came up with a holistic rating score while also considering key peers, fundamentals, and technicals too. Thesis Summary For my initial coverage of Evercore, I gave it a buy rating, agreeing with the Wall St consensus rating as of Monday. The rating worksheet below shows how 8 different rating categories contributed to the overall average score: EVR - rating worksheet (author) My article today shows that despite a challenging macro environment for many sectors right now, as well as some bearish technical indicators for this stock, many fundamental strengths remain and that pushes the needle into the buy column for me. In particular, Evercore saw strong performance vs key peers, has a robust fee-driven business model that is diversified, a compelling dividend story and balance sheet risk profile, impressive operating margins, deals and client inflows, and share price forecasts expecting considerable upside by next year. Macro & Sector Outlook When it comes to the macro and sector outlook in the near-term, I am inclined to say hold rather than be bullish just yet. It's worth noting that Evercore serves a diverse set of clients including those needing research, trading, and investment banking work, but also the individual/family or foundation needing wealth and...

美国总统特朗普表示，伊朗昨天送给美国一份“礼物”，与石油和天然气有关。 当被问及这份“礼物”是否与霍尔木兹海峡有关时，特朗普说，“与通往海峡的流动有关”。 特朗普没有就此事作进一步阐述。 责任编辑：李桐

格隆汇3月25日｜据伊朗伊斯兰共和国（IRNA）通讯社：美国和以色列周二袭击了布什尔核电站周边地区。

从红海延布港向亚洲运输沙特原油的油轮运费，已从本月早些时候的高点大幅回落，原因是更多船只正转向这条绕开霍尔木兹海峡的沙特出口港。 据熟悉相关交易的知情人士及彭博社援引的经纪报告称，延布至亚洲航线的油轮运费已从3月初每天超过45万美元的高位，暴跌至本周一艘2011年建造的超大型油轮协议运价的每天约20万美元。 随着波斯湾至亚洲航线对大多数原油（尤其是来自沙特的原油）实际上已关闭，延布港已成为油轮在中东向其关键出口地区亚洲运输原油贸易中保持活跃的首选之地。 由于通过霍尔木兹海峡的商业运输量仍处于近乎停滞的水平，沙特正加速将运输从霍尔木兹海峡转向红海。 海上情报公司Windward在周一的一份报告中表示：“伊朗继续通过霍尔木兹海峡实施受控过境模式，通过伊斯兰革命卫队管理的走廊，根据货物类型和目的地允许选择性通行。” 在霍尔木兹海峡仅在伊斯兰革命卫队酌情决定下开放的情况下，沙特正尽可能多地将原油出口转向红海航线。 Windward援引Vortexa的船舶跟踪数据称，在3月15日至21日这一周，延布港装载了约2290万桶原油，较前一周增长20%。 Windward表示：“这种加速强化了沙特阿拉伯的战略重心转向红海出口路线，以减少对海湾运输走廊的依赖。” 尽管转向延布港，沙特仍无法完全弥补战前通过霍尔木兹海峡运输的所有供应损失。 据报道，沙特石油巨头阿美公司已通知亚洲的定期供应客户，他们4月份将只收到在红海延布出口港装船的主力旗舰产品——阿拉伯轻质原油。 根据Kpler数据，3月份迄今为止，沙特阿美已出口约435.5万桶/日的原油。这远低于霍尔木兹海峡事实上关闭前2月份的710万桶/日出口量。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Uber Technologies Inc. is backing three different candidates in the race for governor of California, hedging its political bets on a state that’s a bellwether for policy and technology shifts. The ride-sharing giant donated millions of dollars in the past week, filings show, contributing to the campaigns of Democratic rivals Eric Swalwell and Katie Porter as well as Republican Steve Hilton. Swalwell, a fierce critic of President Donald Trump in Congress, got the bulk of the funds, with a $2 million contribution to a political action fund backing his campaign. Porter, a former member of Congress from Southern California, received a $150,000 donation. Hilton, a former Fox News contributor married to Uber’s former senior vice president of communications, Rachel Whetstone , got $39,200. The donations mark the first time San Francisco-based Uber has contributed to a governor’s election in its home state, with some of the funds coming from the company directly and others from its political action committees. “As a California-based company, we’re engaged in this race because Uber has an outsized stake in what happens here,” said Ramona Prieto, Uber’s head of public policy in the Western US. “We’re backing pragmatic candidates committed to keeping our state innovative, competitive and affordable for working families.” Last year, Uber backed both Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, which Sherrill ultimately won. The company said its donations across parties reflect an intention to remain bipartisan. Uber’s California donations underscore the unpredictability of the contest to run the most populous state in the US. A crowded field of candidates — including multiple veteran politicians, a sheriff, a Silicon Valley mayor and a liberal billionaire — are fighting for the top two spots in the June primary. The winners then advance to a November runoff regardless of party affiliation, leaving open the possibility of a Democr...

据媒体报道，沙特阿拉伯公开呼吁地区稳定，甚至和平。但私下里，这个王国正推动白宫继续对伊朗的军事行动，此时油价稳稳站在每桶100美元上方——这一举动很可能触发石油需求破坏。 根据3月24日华盛顿的多份报道，王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼一直在敦促特朗普政府坚持对伊朗的军事行动，将当前冲突视为重塑地区力量平衡的难得窗口期。据纽约的美国主流媒体消息人士称，沙特担心旷日持久的冲突可能导致沙特石油基础设施遭受进一步袭击。 有消息称，穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼甚至推动采取地面行动。 沙特官员否认了有关穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼游说白宫对伊朗采取更强硬立场的指控。“沙特王国一贯支持和平解决这一冲突，甚至早在冲突爆发前就是如此，”沙特官方声明称。 该主流媒体报道称，白宫拒绝置评。 由于与霍尔木兹海峡相关的中断已从风险溢价转变为实际供应约束，布伦特原油价格维持在每桶100美元上方，WTI在90多美元。该地区的运输仍然受阻，虽然沙特可以通过其东西管道将部分石油改道至延布，但该系统的运输能力远低于正常出口量。换言之，它只是减轻了冲击，但远不足以替代。 更高的油价有助于抵消预算压力，并支持其与“愿景2030”相关的激进支出计划。但推动油价上涨的同一场中断正直接冲击该王国，伊朗的报复性袭击已瞄准地区能源基础设施。消息人士称，一场半途而废的战争可能使沙特石油基础设施面临进一步袭击。 华盛顿正在权衡各种选项，从缓和冲突到更激进地打击伊朗出口基础设施，包括哈尔克岛等关键节点。每个选项都带来明显的风险，其中最大的风险之一就是：持续三位数的油价，在支撑供应方收入的同时，同样开始威胁需求。 沙特的担忧不止于石油——一场持久战可能会削弱投资者对许多正在进行的雄心勃勃项目的信心，这些项目旨在将沙特从依赖石油的经济体转变为全球商业中心。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065
