-- オーストラリアのビクトリア州ジーロングにあるビバ・エナジー社の製油所で水曜日に火災が発生し、爆発と炎が上がったと地元消防救助隊が発表した。 ビクトリア州消防救助隊は声明で、水曜日の現地時間午後11時15分、コリオにあるビバ石油製油所のMOGASユニットで発生した事故に対応したと発表した。爆発と炎に関する複数の通報があったためだ。 「火災はまだ鎮火していないが、現在は工場/発生場所の範囲内に収まっており、液体燃料とガスが関係している」とビクトリア州消防救助隊は声明で述べた。 同社のウェブサイトによると、ジーロング製油所は日量12万バレルの原油を処理しており、国内で稼働している製油所はわずか2つしかないうちの1つである。 ビバ社のウェブサイトによると、この製油所はオーストラリアの燃料需要全体の約10%を担い、ビクトリア州の燃料の50%以上を供給している。 ビバ・エナジーは、MTニュースワイヤーズからのコメント要請にすぐには応じなかった。 フィナンシャル・レビュー紙によると、ビバは国内に1,300カ所のシェル(SHEL)ガソリンスタンドを運営し、オーストラリア全土に燃料とオイルを供給する流通ネットワークも展開している。また、オーストラリアで唯一の航空燃料メーカーでもある。

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.
