Shipping giant Maersk: Middle East conflict brings significant economic pressure to business operations

Due to the impact of the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, the security situation in the Strait of Hormuz has deteriorated. Danish shipping giant Maersk Group has suspended the passage of its vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and activated emergency transportation plans to deliver goods via land routes. The Chief Commercial Officer of the group stated that although this move helps ensure the safety of employees and crew, it also brings significant economic pressure to the company’s operations. Carsten Kildahl, Maersk Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, said that for them, not only have the transportation costs of goods directly entering and leaving the Gulf region increased, but costs on other routes have also risen significantly due to factors such as higher fuel prices. The additional costs resulting from these factors have now exceeded $500 million per month, which the group is unable to bear on its own. Therefore, they can only transfer part of the cost to customers. Many of these customers are also simultaneously facing pressures from rising raw material prices. Industry insiders believe that the increased transportation and production costs may further be passed on to the consumer market in the future. (CCTV News)

BUZZ-CSL plans to convert all its plasma centers in the US to use Haemonetics equipment, driving the company's stock price to soar

October 8 – ** Shares of medical device manufacturer Haemonetics (HAE.N) surged nearly 16% to $117.81 ** The stock hit an intraday high of $120.61, marking its highest level since early 2021 ** The company stated that CSL Plasma, a subsidiary of Australia’s CSL Group (CSL.AX), expects to transition all its U.S. plasma collection centers to using HAE’s NexSys devices and kits by the end of 2027 ** CSL has also terminated its agreement with HAE rival Terumo (Terumo 4543.T) – according to BTIG ** This transition will help HAE win back business lost since 2021, when its largest plasma client CSL announced it would not renew its U.S. supply contract ** BTIG estimates that, based on approximately $155 million in revenue HAE generated from CSL’s U.S. business in fiscal year 2024, this account could add about $0.60 per share to adjusted earnings annually, though it notes that actual revenue and profit margins remain unclear ** The brokerage maintained its “Buy” rating and raised its price target from $110 to $130, stating that the deal alleviates market share loss concerns and boosts sales growth prospects ** Including today’s gains, the stock is up 49.46% so far this year (For the convenience of non-English speakers, Reuters provides its reports in several other languages through automated translation.
