ファステナル・ログズ、第1四半期決算は予想通り

-- ファステナル(FAST)は月曜日、顧客との契約締結状況の改善と工業生産の好調を背景に、市場予想通りの第1四半期決算を発表した。 産業・建設資材販売会社である同社の純利益は、3月期に1株当たり0.30ドルとなり、前年同期の0.26ドルから増加した。純売上高は12%増の22億ドルとなり、いずれもファクトセットのアナリスト予想と一致した。 同社は声明の中で、売上高の増加は2024年第1四半期以降の顧客との契約締結状況の改善と、今年第1四半期の工業生産の「若干の改善」によるものだと説明した。 ファステナルによると、当四半期の純売上高に対する製品価格の影響は、前年同期の「影響なし」に対し、約350ベーシスポイント増加した。 「米国の製造業購買担当者景気指数(PMI)は平均約52.6%と改善は見られるものの、全体的には依然として低調で、産業経済は依然として厳しい状況にある」と、社長兼最高営業責任者のジェフ・ワッツ氏は月曜日の決算説明会で述べた(ファクトセットの議事録による)。「追い風はほとんど感じられなかった」。 同社の株価は午後の取引で7.4%下落し、年初来の上昇率は約14%となった。 ファステナルの契約販売は、全国規模の複数拠点、地域、政府機関の顧客を含み、総売上高の4分の3を占め、新規顧客との契約による売上増により引き続き好調を維持している。 「価格については、前年同期比で約3.5%の値上げを実現したが、これは第4四半期の3.3%と比較しても、インフレを相殺するには不十分だ」と、最高財務責任者のマックス・タニクリフ氏は説明会で述べた。 「当四半期における価格設定の実施は進展したものの、関税やその他の要因により、十分なスピードで対応できませんでした。」 当社は当四半期中に6,950台のFASTBinおよびFASTVend端末の契約を締結し、2026年までに28,000台から30,000台の端末相当数の契約を締結するという見通しを改めて表明しました。 FASTBinは顧客が在庫状況をデジタルで確認できるサービスであり、FASTVendは自動販売機を指します。

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.
