ウェドブッシュ証券は、ザ・メタルズ・カンパニーの深海多金属団塊採取における先駆者としての優位性が依然として過小評価されていると指摘する。

-- ウェドブッシュ証券は月曜日の調査レポートで、ザ・メタルズ・カンパニー（TMC）の深海多金属団塊採掘における先駆者としての地位は、現在の株価水準では過小評価されていると指摘した。 レポートによると、クラリオン・クリッパートン鉱区では、米国政府の強力な支援を受け、商業生産への道筋が明確かつ加速的に進んでいる。 アナリストらは、TMCが米国海洋大気庁（NOAA）に提出した許可申請は3月に実質的に要件を満たしていると判断され、今後12ヶ月以内に許可が下りる見込みだと述べている。 TMCはテキサス州ブラウンズビルにある団塊処理拠点のリース権を独占的に獲得した。ウェドブッシュ証券は、これは米国政府とのパートナーシップを実現するための「重要な前提条件」であり、株価の再評価につながる可能性があると指摘している。 ウェドブッシュ証券によると、TMCは少なくとも今後12ヶ月間は十分な流動性を確保できる見込みだ。 同証券会社は、同銘柄に対する「アウトパフォーム」の投資判断と目標株価8ドルを維持すると発表した。

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.
