智通财经APP获悉,Jefferies发表研报,将力拓(RIO.US)评级从“买入”下调至“持有”,该行分析师Christopher LaFemina表示,此次调整基于多重不利因素:即将到来的首席执行官更迭、美国铝进口关税上调,以及预期铁矿石价格将走软。

分析师同时对力拓发展锂业务所需的资本支出表示担忧。尽管该公司近年来通过收购Arcadium,等多项投资布局锂产业,这些逆周期投资可能具有战略意义,“但我们担忧如果力拓对锂市场的预期过于乐观,可能导致资本密集度攀升而回报率低迷。随着锂业务资本支出增加,力拓的自由现金流将承压,因其短期内无法带来相应的收益提升”。

La Femina及其团队表示,相较于市场共识,“我们并非看空铁矿石前景”,但确实认为中美贸易摩擦升级、主要房地产市场持续疲软、结构性调整导致的钢铁产能关停计划,以及季节性需求减弱,这些因素将共同导致铁矿石价格近期呈现下行趋势,他们给出的长期价格预测为90美元/吨,且存在小幅下行风险。

分析师写道:“我们并非认为力拓已‘失去投资价值’。只是基于最新形势判断,其风险回报比已趋于平衡。”他们补充道,相较于力拓和必和必拓(BHP.US),Jefferies更看好嘉能可(GLNCY.US)、英美资源(NGLOY.US)和淡水河谷(VALE.US)的投资前景。
