イラン、ホルムズ海峡を全ての商船に開放

-- イランは金曜日、レバノンでの停戦合意に基づき、重要なホルムズ海峡をすべての商船が通行できると発表した。 イランのアッバス・アラグチ外相は、停戦期間中はホルムズ海峡が開放されたままになると、ソーシャルメディアに投稿した。 「レバノンでの停戦合意に基づき、イラン・イスラム共和国港湾海事機構が既に発表した調整ルートに従い、停戦期間中はすべての商船のホルムズ海峡の通行が完全に開放されることを宣言する」とアラグチ外相は述べた。 この発表を受けて原油価格は下落した。ブレント原油は一時11%以上下落し、アラブ首長国連邦(UAE)産のムルバン原油も8%以上下落した。 この発表は、ドナルド・トランプ米大統領の反応も引き起こした。 「イランは、イラン海峡が完全に開放され、航行準備が整ったと発表した。ありがとう」とトランプ大統領はソーシャルメディアに投稿した。ホルムズ海峡は、中東からの石油輸送の大部分にとって主要な海上航路であり、ペルシャ湾とオマーン湾を結び、世界の石油・ガス輸送量の約20%を担っている。

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.
