Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
Investing.com -- Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) has initiated a sell catalyst call on A.P. Moller-Maersk (CSE:MAERSKb), citing concerns over the stock’s recent rally and the company’s full-year earnings guidance.
The bank’s analysts noted that Maersk shares have climbed around 48% from their lows on April 9, following Liberation Day, and are now trading at the upper end of their recent range, between DKK10,000 and DKK13,000.
Despite the company’s conservative outlook for the year, guiding for EBIT between $0 and $3 billion, Deutsche Bank analysts believe the lower bound of that range is overly cautious.
The brokerage’s own forecast for Maersk’s EBIT sits at the top end of the guidance, while Bloomberg consensus stands at $1.8 billion. In the first quarter, Maersk reported EBIT of $1.3 billion.
“With Q2 results due on 7 August we think that guidance could be positively revised,” the brokerage said.
