-- シンガポール経済は第1四半期に減速し、予想を大きく下回った。 貿易産業省が火曜日に発表したところによると、国内総生産(GDP)は前年同期比4.6%増となり、前期の5.7%増を下回った。 このGDP成長率は、ロイターが調査したエコノミストの予測である5.9%増を大きく下回っている。 前期比では、GDPは0.3%減となり、2025年第4四半期の1.3%増という予測から大きく後退した。 貿易産業省は、シンガポール経済はこの期間、堅調さを維持したものの、中東紛争の影響は今後数四半期にわたって現れると予想されると述べた。 業種別に見ると、製造業は前年同期比5%増となり、前期の11.4%増を下回った。 建設部門は前年同期比9%増となり、2025年第4四半期の4.6%増を上回りました。 サービス部門では、卸売・小売業、運輸・倉庫業が合わせて前年同期比6.7%増となり、前四半期の6.8%増に続く伸びとなりました。情報通信業、金融・保険業、専門サービス業は前年同期比3.9%増となり、前四半期の3.7%増を上回りました。一方、宿泊・飲食サービス業、不動産業、管理・支援サービス業を含むその他のサービスは前年同期比2.3%増となり、前四半期の2.9%増から伸びが鈍化しました。 イラン内戦のリスクにもかかわらず、シンガポール金融管理局はGDP成長率の見通しを2%~4%に据え置きました。シンガポール金融管理局(MAS)は、世界的な原油価格の高騰とインフレ率上昇の脅威を受け、シンガポールドル名目実効為替レート政策バンドを引き上げ、金融政策を緩やかに引き締めた。インフレ率は従来予測の1~2%から1.5~2.5%に上昇すると見込まれている。 INGのアジア太平洋地域調査責任者であるディパリ・バルガヴァ氏は、原油価格上昇に伴う圧力は、人工知能(AI)技術への需要と最近の財政措置によって相殺される可能性が高いと述べた。 「これらの要因を総合的に考慮すると、当社のGDP成長率予測は前年比3.3%となり、これはMASの予測レンジの上限に近い水準であり、中間値の上限に近い」とバルガヴァ氏は述べた。

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.
