-- 德斯贾丁银行在周二晚间政府公布数据后表示，2025-26财年（FY26）的财政赤字仍然高达669亿加元，但低于2025年预算案中预测的783亿加元。 该银行指出，近期赤字改善的主要原因是经济表现好于预期，而这并非联邦政府所能控制，而且这种情况可能不会再次出现。 德斯贾丁银行指出，尽管起点和经济前景有所改善，但未来的赤字预测与2025年预算案相比基本保持不变。 该银行表示，上调名义国内生产总值（GDP）预期带来的主要好处之一是，即使未来赤字与2025年预算案相比基本保持不变，也降低了未来赤字占GDP的比例。 德斯贾丁银行补充道，尽管联邦债务的走势变化不大，但联邦债务占GDP比重的预测路径也将“显著”下降。 该银行表示，这将有助于加拿大保持优于许多发达经济体的财政状况，从而维持其良好的信用评级和相对较低的偿债成本。

Research Alert: CFRA Downgrades Rating To Sell From Hold On Shares Of Essex Property Trust, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target by $15 to $250 using a narrower equity risk premium and a forward P/FFO of 15.5x, which is in line with the multifamily residential REIT average. We keep our 2026 FFO estimate at $16.15 and lower 2027's by $0.05 to $16.45 on respective revenue projections of $1.94B and $1.98B. Rental revenue is not yet rebounding to historical growth levels. Across the industry, we are seeing inflation in key operating expenses exceeding revenue growth, and this leads to modest gains in cash NOI growth Y/Y. We expect these market conditions to continue as pricing power for ESS and its peers seems to have eased. In particular, ESS has a West Coast portfolio profile that is exposed to significant job layoffs in the technology sector. In our opinion, we have not yet seen the tail risk of major announcements just released in recent weeks. ESS has the challenge of complying with strict housing guidelines in California, leading to the trust historically underperforming peers in other parts of the country.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Rating On Shares Of Biogen Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our target at $236, 13.8x our new 2027 EPS view, a discount to BIIB's five-year historical forward P/E average of 14.1x. We lower our 2026 EPS view to $15.24 from $16.14 to adjust for the impact from acquired IPR&D. We keep our 2027 EPS view at $17.16. BIIB reported a strong start to 2026, with sales of $2.5B and adjusted EPS of $3.57. We see a successful stabilization of the business after years of decline, due to a 12% Y/Y increase in the growth products portfolio. In our view, during the analyst call, management presented a clear strategic vision centered on the pending $5.6B acquisition of Apellis, expected to close in Q2, which can transform BIIB into a growth company by adding two commercial assets, Syfovre and Empaveli. We think the Apellis deal could bridge a revenue gap until 2028, when the company's late-stage pipeline matures. Via this acquisition, BIIB also gains nephrology expertise and an established infrastructure, which could set its key asset Felzartamab launch for success.
