Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Abbott Laboratories ( ABT ) dipped in the premarket on Thursday after the MedTech giant lowered its full-year earnings outlook, indicating an impact from its recent acquisition of cancer diagnostics company Exact Sciences. Compared to $5.55-$5.80 previously and $5.47 in the consensus, the Illinois-based company now projects its 2026 adjusted diluted earnings per share to reach $5.38-$5.58, including $0.20 per share dilution attributed to the $21B deal. "The acquisition of Exact Sciences adds another high-growth business to the Abbott portfolio, further strengthening our confidence in delivering accelerating growth as we move through the year,” CEO Robert Ford said ahead of the earnings call at 9 a.m. ET. However, Abbott’s ( ABT ) top line exceeded Street forecasts for the first time in two quarters, as revenue for Q1 2026 grew ~8% YoY to $11.2B, beating the consensus by $160M, thanks mainly to its Medical Devices division. Meanwhile, its Nutrition segment continued to underperform, adding $2.0B to the topline with a ~6% YoY decline amid lower sales volumes and strategic pricing actions, which the company said will help it improve volume growth for the rest of the year. ABT's MedTech unit added $5.5B in sales with a ~13% YoY growth, and its Diagnostics business generated $2.2B with a ~6% YoY growth as sales from Cancer Diagnostics reflected the acquisition of Exact Sciences. As for the bottom line, ABT’s adjusted EPS improved ~6% YoY to $1.15, while its gross margin reached ~56% from ~57% in the prior year period on an adjusted basis. The company projected its non-GAAP diluted EPS to reach $1.25–$1.31 in Q2, below the consensus of $1.32, and comparable sales growth for 2026 to stand at 6.5%–7.5% compared to 3.7% in Q1.

业界人士呼吁，亟需采取更为严格的控烟措施。 面对联合国大会政治宣言最新提出的“到2030年减少1.5亿烟草使用者”目标，全球遏制烟草流行的举措正从局部控烟迈向“零烟害”，甚至已有国家提出“世代禁烟令”。 今年4月30日起，中国香港地区将禁止任何人在公众场所持有另类吸烟产品（如电子烟、草本烟和加热烟），甚至将“随身携带”电子烟也列为违法行为。香港之外，根据世界卫生组织（下称“世卫”）最新统计，全球已有42个国家和地区全面禁止电子烟销售。 除了禁烟范畴扩大至电子烟，国内外的“禁烟令”也正逐步从室内延伸至室外、私人场所乃至全辖区。第一财经近日走访发现，北京多家医疗机构已张贴警示牌，明确室外区域禁烟。上海、深圳等地近年来也相继将儿童医院和公交站、地铁站台等特定室外场所纳入禁烟范畴。 2026年是世卫《烟草控制框架公约》（下称《公约》）在中国正式生效的20周年。世卫驻华代表处无烟草行动技术官员李可薇近日在新探健康发展研究中心举办的一场研讨会上表示，得益于前述《公约》及相关控烟政策的推动，全球烟草使用率在过去二十年下降约三分之一。但《公约》为各缔约国控烟工作设定的是底线，而非上限。 在此背景下，全球一些国家已提出“烟草终局”的目标，即将吸烟率降至5%以下。在中国，香港吸烟率为9.1%左右；上海成人吸烟率则降至18.6%，为中国内地省级最低水平。面对未来五年更为雄心勃勃的全球控烟目标，业界人士呼吁，亟需采取更为严格的控烟措施。 20 年控烟成果喜忧参半 《公约》是一项以应对全球烟草流行为宗旨的国际条约，也是第一个全球性的公共卫生条约，对其缔约方具有法律约束力。 中国履约的二十年里，控烟成果喜忧参半。 为帮助各国更好实施《公约》，世卫于2008年推出了“MPOWER”六项烟草控制和减少烟草需求措施。据李可薇介绍，世卫最新监测显示，中国在“M”(监测)上达到了“优”级，但“P”(无烟法规)评级仍处于最低水平，且并未做到“R”（提高烟草税）中提出的“卷烟可负担性自2014年起降低”。 鉴于中国迄今在“MPOWER”六个方面的政策中仅监测一项进入最高实践水平，业界认为，中国控烟的核心策略和手段有待发力。“控烟的重点和难点还未能突破，比如公共场所无烟立法、图形警示上烟包、提高烟草税等，近十年并无明显进展。”前述研讨会上发布的《2024-2025年中国控烟观察——民间视角》（下称“报告”）称...

国际能源署负责人周四警告称，随着航空业持续应对中东危机带来的不利影响，欧洲的航空燃油可能只剩下六周的供应量。 国际能源署执行董事法提赫·比罗尔周四在接受美联社采访时表示，霍尔木兹海峡的封锁将导致“我们从未面临过的最大能源危机”。 “过去有一支乐队叫‘恐怖海峡’（Dire Straits）。现在这是一个‘可怕的海峡’（dire strait），将对全球经济产生重大影响。这种情况持续得越久，对全球经济增 长和 通胀的负面影响就越大，”他说。 他补充说，更广泛的经济影响包括“汽油价格上涨、天然气价格上涨、电价上涨”，世界一些地区将“比其他地区受到更严重的冲击”。 比罗尔此前曾警告称，随着石油供应紧张状况加剧，能源危机将在4月份更加严重地冲击全球。 “到了4月，就什么都没有了，”比罗尔上个月表示。“4月份的石油减产量将是3月份的两倍。除此之外还有LNG等其他能源。这将传导至通胀，我认为这将削减许多国家的经济增长，尤其是新兴经济体。许多国家可能很快就会开始实行能源配给。” 分析师本周早些时候表达了类似的警告。Rystad Energy首席经济学家克劳 迪奥 ·加林贝蒂周二表示，航空公司面临的形势“在很大程度上取决于有多少石油将通过海峡”。 荷兰国际 集团高级经济学家里科·卢曼周二表示：“我们已经看到这些船只现在停运了，所以来自中东的供应已经耗尽，我们需要寻找替代供应。” 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

《意见》的政策导向发生了清晰转变——从“能放则放”转向“该放则放、该收则收、能进能退”。 投资是经济增长的重要引擎。近日发布的《国务院办公厅关于深化投资审批制度改革的意见》（下称《意见》），进一步优化投资审批权限配置，提升投资服务便利度，强化投资项目全过程监管。 《意见》提出“实行政府投资项目决策终身负责制”，严格政府投资项目审批管理，强化企业投资管理政策和产业政策、要素资金管理政策的协同联动，提升投资审批效能，健全投资项目评价体系，增进改革协同衔接。 上海天强管理咨询有限公司总经理祝波善对第一财经表示，近年来地方财政承压、隐性债务风险上升，中央对政府投资行为“扎紧篱笆”。与2016年改革相比，《意见》的政策导向发生了清晰转变——从“能放则放”转向“该放则放、该收则收、能进能退”，核心逻辑不再是单一的简政放权，而是更具弹性和精准度的分类治理。 严格政府投资项目审批管理 上一轮投融资体制改革可追溯至2016年，中共中央、国务院印发《关于深化投融资体制改革的意见》（中发〔2016〕18号），核心逻辑是“简政放权”——确立企业投资主体地位、大幅缩减核准范围、推行备案制，投资管理工作重心逐步从事前审批转向过程服务和事中事后监管。 祝波善表示，十年间，审批范围虽大幅缩减，但地方执行中出现了“放下去接不住、管不好”的新问题。同时，部分地方通过国有企业以企业投资项目名义规避政府投资审批，政府投资项目管理存在漏洞。此外，部分地区出现了无序竞争、产能过剩等问题，宏观调控手段亟需加强。 此次《意见》共有10项重点内容，涵盖了优化政府投资项目审批权限配置、严格政府投资项目审批管理、支持民营企业参与国家重大项目建设等投资审批各个领域。 优化政府投资项目审批权限配置位列改革首项。《意见》要求，厘清中央政府投资项目审批权限和职责边界。各省级政府综合考虑事权层级、项目性质、资金来源、政府投资能力和监管能力等，完善本地区政府投资项目审批权限规定，合理划分省、市、县级项目审批权限。加强对重点地区和重点领域政府投资项目的提级论证管理，防范地方政府债务风险。 《意见》明确，严格政府投资项目审批管理。除党中央、国务院有明确要求或者法律法规有明确规定外，政府投资项目均应严格履行项目建议书、可行性研究报告、初步设计和投资概算审批程序。规范实行审批管理的项目范围，对应由政府采取直接投资、资本金注入方式投资和实质...

格隆汇4月16日｜国际货币基金组织：预计亚洲经济增长将从2025年的5%放缓至2026年的4.4%和2027年的4.2%。如果出现更多冲突持续的局面，到2027年，亚洲的经济增长可能累计下降1至2个百分点。中东冲突引发的能源冲击可能对亚洲经济的影响超过其他地区。亚洲央行应对能源冲击保持耐心，但如果通胀预期失去锚定则应收紧政策。

Important note from Taiwan Semiconductor.

Bank of America started coverage on Autoliv ( ALV ) with a Buy rating. The firm sees the auto supplier stock as a rare opportunity to buy a high-quality compounder at an undemanding valuation. Analyst Stephen Benhamou noted Stockholm-based Autoliv ( ALV ) combines best-in-class margin resilience and pricing power with structural growth from vehicle premiumization, safety regulation, and a strong China position. In addition, strong free cash flow, a solid balance sheet, and visible capital returns were highlighted as underpinning the attractive risk-adjusted case. In terms of valuation, Benhamou thinks that Autoliv ( ALV ) trades at a valuation that materially undervalues the quality of its franchise. "At 8.6X 12m fwd EV/EBIT, the stock trades at only a ~10% premium to European peers, well below its long-term ~20% quality premium," he wrote. Bank of America set a price objective of $140 on Autoliv ( ALV ). Shares of Autoliv ( ALV ) tracked 0.6% higher in premarket trading to $109.85. The dividend yield for new buyers of the stock is 3.2%.
