-- アジア開発銀行(ADB)は金曜遅く、中東情勢の見通しとそれに伴う原油価格の上昇が、2026年のアジア太平洋地域の途上国の経済成長を抑制するとの見通しを発表した。 ADBによると、ペルシャ湾紛争と貿易をめぐる不確実性の継続が重荷となり、アジアの途上国の経済成長率は2026年と2027年の両年とも5.1%に減速すると予測される。これは、前回予測の5.4%から下方修正されたものだ。 アジア開発銀行(ADB)は、アジアの途上国を対象に、国内総生産(GDP)成長率とインフレ見通しに焦点を当てた経済予測を行っている。ADBの予測対象国は、中国とインドを含む46カ国、およびASEAN加盟10カ国すべてである。 ADBは、「エネルギー価格の上昇は生産コストと消費者物価を押し上げる一方、輸出の伸びは昨年の米国関税引き上げ前の前倒し輸出の後、正常化するだろう」と述べ、「特に南アジアと東南アジアの途上国における堅調な国内需要が、引き続き成長を支えるだろう」と付け加えた。 アジア開発銀行(ADB)によると、地域全体のインフレ率は昨年の3%から2026年には3.6%、2027年には3.4%に上昇すると予測されている。 また、中国のGDP成長率は2025年の5%から2026年には4.6%、2027年には4.5%に低下すると予測されており、「不動産市場の低迷と輸出拡大の鈍化が経済活動の重荷となる」とADBは述べている。 さらに、マニラに本部を置くインフラ投資などの地域開発銀行であるADBは、「インドの成長率は昨年の7.6%から今年は6.9%に鈍化するが、来年は堅調な国内消費に支えられ7.3%に上昇すると予測されている」と付け加えた。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.
Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Baker Hughes
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price by $14 to $82, reflecting a combination of our sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) and DCF models. For our SOTP model, we presume the oilfield services business (about 50% of BKR's franchise) to be valued at about 10x projected 2027 EBITDA (in line with major peers) and its industrial energy technology business (the other 50%) valued at 14x projected 2027 EBITDA (in line with the peer median). This blended approach, yielding a 12x multiple, implies a value of $73 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5% per year, terminal growth of 2.5%, discounted at a WACC of 6.3%, yields intrinsic value of $91 per share. We cut our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.47 to $2.48, but we raise 2027's by $0.07 to $3.24. We acknowledge that the oilfield services business is likely to struggle in 2026 owing to the U.S.-Iran conflict, but the IET business appears quite robust and likely to be a source of both accelerating revenue growth and margins.
