-- メディバンク・プライベート(ASX:MPL)は、オーストラリア証券取引所への火曜日の提出書類で、3月31日までの9ヶ月間の居住者向け民間医療保険事業における契約者数が前年同期比25%増の22,400人増加したと発表した。 同社は、居住者向け民間医療保険業界はここ数ヶ月で競争が激化しており、消費者が価格重視の傾向を強め、一部の企業が価格主導型の顧客提案に頼るようになっているとデータで示されていると述べた。 「2026年に新たな大きなトレンドは現れていないものの、メディバンクは過去の動向と競合他社の活動を踏まえ、規律ある経営を維持しながら、引き続き利用状況を注視していく」と述べた。 メディバンクは、世界的な出来事や市場の変動が事業に直接的な影響を与えるとは予想していないとして、2026年度の業績見通しを維持した。 同社の主な財務リスクは、株式への約1億8800万豪ドルの投資を含む投資ポートフォリオと、オーストラリアの政策金利の変動によるものであり、政策金利の変動は投資収益に年間約700万豪ドルの影響を与える可能性があると同社は指摘している。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Builders Firstsource, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target to $85 from $125, based on a 2027 P/E of 13.1x, a premium to the stock's 10-year average forward P/E of 12.1x, justified by cyclical trough market conditions. We lower our adjusted EPS estimates to $4.10 from $6.69 for 2026 and to $6.50 from $8.01 for 2027. BLDR posted Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.27 vs. $1.51 (-82% Y/Y), well short of the $0.37 consensus. BLDR's Q1 sales fell 11% to $3.29B ($130M ahead of consensus), but gross margin contracted 220 bps to 28.3%. BLDR said it now expects 2026 net sales of $14.6B-$15.6B and adjusted EBITDA of $1.1B-$1.5B, versus prior expectations of $14.8B-$15.8B and $1.3B-$1.7B, respectively. Management said it remains focused on factors within its control, including serving customers, expanding its differentiated portfolio of value-added solutions, and leveraging technology to accelerate growth and drive operational excellence. We think BLDR's Q1 results underscore challenges the company faces from a weaker housing market.
