-- ロイター通信は金曜日、関係者の話として、ワイルドファイア・エナジーの出資者が40億ドルを超える売却を検討していると報じた。 ウォーバーグ・ピンカスとケイン・アンダーソンは、この米シェールオイル会社からの撤退の可能性を探り始めており、関係者によると、負債を含めた企業価値は40億ドルを超えているという。 ジェフリーズが売却プロセスを監督し、銀行は今後数週間以内に買い手への正式な売り込みを開始する見込みだと、ロイターは関係者4人の話として伝えている。 中東情勢の緊迫化を背景に原油価格が1バレル100ドルを超え、資産価値が上昇していることが、生産者による売却機会の模索を促している。 イーグルフォード盆地で操業するワイルドファイアは、日量約5万バレル相当の石油を生産しており、南テキサスにおける非上場企業としては最大規模の一つである。 関係者によると、不確実な市場環境は依然として交渉に影響を与える可能性があり、合意は確実ではなく、評価額も現在の40億ドルから変動する可能性があると報じられている。 ウォーバーグとケイン・アンダーソンが2019年に投資して以来、同社はAPAコーポレーションやチェサピーク・エナジーから資産を買収するなど、買収を通じて事業を拡大してきた。 MTニュースワイヤーズは、ワイルドファイア、ウォーバーグ、ケイン・アンダーソン、ジェフリーズにコメントを求めた。 (マーケット・チャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいて作成されています。この情報は信頼できる情報源からのものとされていますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)

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.

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.
