-- ニュージーランド統計局が火曜日に発表したデータによると、3月期の年間消費者物価上昇率は3.1%で、2025年12月期までの12ヶ月間の上昇率3.1%と変わらなかった。 トレーディング・エコノミクスによると、市場コンセンサス予想は2.9%の上昇だった。 報告書によると、年間インフレ率の最大の要因は電気料金で、約13%上昇した。 物価・デフレーター担当報道官のニコラ・グローデン氏は、電気料金の上昇が年間3.1%の上昇の1割以上を占め、電気料金がインフレ率上昇の最大の要因となったのは3四半期連続だと述べた。 年間インフレ率のその他の主な要因としては、地方自治体の税金・諸費用が8.8%、食肉・鶏肉が8.6%、家賃が1.2%、ガソリンが1.1%上昇したことが挙げられる。 四半期ベースでは、インフレ率は2025年12月期の0.6%上昇に続き、3月期は0.9%上昇しました。 ガソリン価格の3.5%上昇が四半期インフレ率上昇の主な要因でしたが、ガソリンを除くと、消費者物価指数は3月期に0.8%上昇しました。 「ガソリンはニュージーランドの家計にとって、家賃と建設費に次いで3番目に大きな支出項目です」とグローデン氏は述べています。 また、処方箋料の上昇により、医薬品価格も3月期に約18%上昇しました。菓子類、ナッツ類、スナック菓子、果物、電気料金も、物価上昇の主要因となりました。

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.
