マレーシアの景気先行指数と景気一致指数は2月に上昇

-- マレーシア統計局(DOSM)は金曜日、マレーシアの景気先行指数が2月に前年同月比0.5%上昇し、113.1ポイントとなったと発表した。これは前年同月の112.5ポイントから上昇したもので、緩やかな経済成長を示している。 この指数は将来の経済動向を測る指標である。 上昇の要因は、その他の基礎的な貴金属および非鉄金属の実質輸入が18.7%増加したこと、そして実質マネーサプライ(M1)が8.4%増加したことである。ただし、住宅建設許可件数など7つの構成要素のうち5つは減少した。 月次では、半導体の実質輸入や新規企業登録件数などの減少により、指数は0.3%低下した。 一方、現在の経済状況を反映する景気一致指数は、前年同月比1.6%上昇し129.4ポイントとなったが、前月比では1.4%低下した。 データによると、年間増加はほとんどの構成要素の増加によって支えられた一方、月間減少はEPF(従業員積立基金)の貢献度の低さと製造業における設備稼働率の低下によって相殺された。

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.
