-- 過去兩個月,加拿大各省政府陸續公佈了2026財年預算,其中湧現出一些建設性的觀點,揭示了各省如何應對經濟不確定性。勞倫森銀行證券表示。 該銀行列舉了以下幾點: -- 儘管受到中美貿易衝突的影響,包括魁北克省和安大略省在內的大多數省份在2025-2026財年結束時仍展現出財政韌性。 -- 2026-2027財年及以後,各省政府提出了建設性的基準情景,顯示大多數省份的年度赤字將會收窄。 -- 鑑於全球經濟動盪的不確定性,各省僅在2026-2027財年就預留了近130億加元的充足財政緩衝。 -- 全球石油運輸量的緩慢復甦以及全球替代供應不足,可能會消除產油省份在2026-2027財年的赤字。 ——2026財年預算季揭示了總支出方案的多種可能性,反映了人口壓力和公共政策優先事項的不同現實情況。 ——各省政府面臨日益嚴峻的權衡:既要透過大規模資本支出計畫來保護經濟,又要兼顧長期財政可持續性。 ——另一個「溫和的權衡」在於,鑑於巨額維護赤字,如何優先考慮新建公共資產或維修現有資產。 ——氣候衝擊正考驗財政韌性。由於野火和乾旱,部分省份去年的支出增加。專家預測,2026-2027財年可能會再次出現強烈厄爾尼諾現象。 ——各國政府正在推動地緣戰略項目的開發,包括國防、石油、液化天然氣、水力、核能、太陽能和風能。

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.
