オーストラリア、ビバ・エナジーのLNGターミナル建設を承認し、供給安定性を強化

-- ビバ・エナジーは木曜日、同社のジーロングLNGターミナルが連邦政府の環境認可を取得し、オーストラリアのエネルギー安全保障を支える重要なプロジェクトが前進したと発表した。 同社によると、環境保護・生物多様性保全法に基づき付与されたこの認可により、液化天然ガス(LNG)ターミナルは一定の条件の下で建設を進めることができる。 また、この決定は、昨年ビクトリア州政府が実施した環境影響評価で、より広範な環境影響を検討した上でプロジェクトが承認されたことを受けたものだと付け加えた。 ビバ・エナジーは、ジーロング製油所埠頭に計画されているターミナルは、国内生産量の減少に伴い、安定したガス供給を確保し、オーストラリア南東部のエネルギー需要を支えることができると述べた。 さらに、独立機関による調査で、このプロジェクトはコリオ湾の海洋生態系や近隣のラムサール条約登録湿地に影響を与えないことが確認され、主要な環境懸念事項は解消されたと付け加えた。 また、ビバ・エナジーは、中東危機における国のエネルギーレジリエンス強化のため、オーストラリア輸出金融公社(EFA)と協力して追加の燃料供給を確保していることも明らかにした。 同社によれば、この合意により、価格保証や運転資金支援といった政府措置に支えられ、オーストラリアへの燃料調達と供給が迅速化されるという。 ビバ・エナジーは、自社の精製事業、国内輸入ターミナル、そしてヴィトールとの貿易提携により、供給途絶への迅速な対応と、より広範な燃料安全保障への取り組みを支援できる体制を整え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.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion In Shares Of Wab

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target to $285 from $275 following WAB's Q1 earnings print, valuing shares at 24.2x our 2027 EPS outlook of $11.76 (revised from $11.46; 2026 EPS estimate up to $10.57 from $10.50), a slight premium to WAB's long-term historical multiple average given structural improvements in earnings quality. While we are cautious on signs of overcapacity in the freight market, an elevated order backlog (12-month sits at over $9 billion), internal initiatives to shore up margins, and potential synergies from M&A activity positions WAB to continue growing earnings at double-digit rates in 2026-2027, in our view. Despite tariff-related cost pressures, WAB has done a commendable job of defending margins via a mix of pricing, lean manufacturing, and pruning of lower-profit operations. Q1 results were mixed but overall positive, in our view. We maintain our Hold recommendation on shares.
