Thoughts On Middle East Peace Agreement Framework

With press reports indicating that the U.S. and Iran have agreed on a framework for a

peace agreement (U.S. and Iran Reach Framework for Peace – The New York Times,

Jun 14), we think an ending of hostilities between the two countries and re-opening

of the Strait of Hormuz could be an incremental tailwind for a number of stocks in our

coverage universe. In particular, Multis with exposure to flow/process control and

energy infrastructure (such as EMR, ROK, HON, FLS and ITT) could benefit from re-

investment in capital assets in the region and likely improved accessibility to Andrew KaplowitzAC

worksites and movement of goods as conflict recedes. We note too that design firms +1-212-816-0642

ACM and J are also exposed to the region and while J appears to have been relatively andrew.kaplowitz@citi.com

unimpacted by the conflict, ACM noted a ~100bps headwind to Net Service Revenue

in its F2Q26 results; as such, an end to hostilities we think could be a positive for ACM.

GEV, whom we’ve previously noted as having “above average” exposure to the Middle

East (vs. other Multis) we think has been relatively minimally impacted to date by the

conflict.

More broadly, lower oil prices should represent a disinflationary impact that we think

could be supportive of profitability and, on a macro basis, could be a tailwind to

overall economic activity. We note too that yields on U.S. 10-year notes have modestly

declined from a recent peak of 4.61% to 4.47%; while still above their 3.96% yield prior

to the start of hostilities, we think moderation from recent peaks is a positive sign.
