-- 根據彭博社週五報道，埃克森美孚（XOM）、雪佛龍（CVX）和康菲石油（COP）警告稱，由於霍爾木茲海峽持續中斷，供應緩衝迅速消耗，全球能源市場可能面臨進一步的價格上漲。 高層表示，庫存、戰略儲備和浮式儲罐迄今幫助緩衝了價格，但這些供應目前已接近飽和，降低了市場吸收長期供應衝擊的能力。 雪佛龍財務長告訴彭博社，大部分備用產能已被使用，如果中斷持續，迴旋餘地有限；而埃克森美孚執行長警告稱，市場尚未充分反映供應衝擊的規模。 由於全球約五分之一的石油和液化天然氣運輸通常經由霍爾木茲海峽，各公司表示，海峽長期關閉可能會大幅推高原油價格。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Fair Isaac Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our target price of $1,219, applying 26x our FY 27 (Sep.) EPS estimate, with the compressed multiple reflecting regulatory uncertainty following the FHFA's decision allowing VantageScore in conforming mortgages, introducing the first meaningful competition to FICO's long-standing monopoly. Our EPS estimates are $41.08 for FY 26 (up from $38.48) and $46.90 in FY 27. We maintain our Hold rating while awaiting greater clarity on competitive dynamics and adoption trends for FICO's Mortgage Direct licensing program, with lender uptake remaining uncertain and management's dismissal of competitive threats contrasting with defensive pricing actions. While the company continues demonstrating strong near-term performance and aggressive capital returns through share repurchases, the regulatory landscape has fundamentally shifted in ways that warrant caution. FICO's Platform software momentum, expanding operating leverage, and switching costs offer enough upside to balance the recent industry changes.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Cincinnati Financial Corp.
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 price by $7 to $185, valuing CINF shares (currently yielding 2%) at 20x our 2027 operating EPS estimate of $9.15 (raised by $0.10) and at 21.5x our 2026 EPS estimate of $8.60 (raised by $0.10), versus its five-year average forward multiple of 21x and peer average. CINF posted Q1 operating EPS of $2.10 versus a $0.24 operating loss per share a year ago, matching our estimate and topping the $1.94 consensus view, amid 12% higher operating revenues due to 11% premium growth and 14% higher net investment income, with written premium growth of 7% likely at the upper end of peer averages. We believe CINF's competitive strengths include its facile underwriting style and ability to allocate underwriting capital to areas with the most promising fundamentals, positioning it well despite increasingly competitive market conditions. CINF's ability to consistently produce above-peer growth and underwriting profitability will support the shares' premium valuation versus peers, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Linde Plc
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target by $48 to $537, using a P/E of 27.1x, equal to LIN's average forward P/E over the last three years. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.05 to $18.03 and 2027 by $0.26 to $19.81. LIN reported Q1 adj. EPS of $4.33, beating consensus by $0.06, with 30% operating margins and 24% ROC demonstrating the resilience of its business model. Management raised the low end of full-year guidance to $17.60-$17.90 (7%-9% growth), citing confidence despite geopolitical headwinds. The $7.1B project backlog should reach $8B+ by year-end, driven by Electronics projects supporting AI chip manufacturing. Americas volumes grew 2% Y/Y with double-digit hardgoods growth, though EMEA remains challenged by weak industrial activity. Commercial space is emerging as a significant growth driver, with aerospace sales up double-digits. Helium supply tightness presents upside opportunity beyond guidance. We think shares are fully valued at 25.6x our 2027 EPS estimate, limiting upside potential in the near term.
