-- 根據澳洲廣播公司（ABC）週三通報，昆士蘭州政府已承諾向澳洲再生燃料公司Ampol提供2500萬澳元（約1700萬美元）的資金，用於支持其位於利頓（Lytton）煉油廠生產再生柴油。 該工程第一期工程計劃於2028年完工，預計屆時布里斯本煉油廠每年可生產高達2,000萬公升再生柴油。根據政府預測，第二期工程可望大幅提高產量，到2030年代初，年產量可能達到7.5億公升。 ABC報道稱，昆士蘭州副州長賈羅德·布萊傑（Jarrod Bleijie）表示，再生柴油的化學成分與傳統柴油完全相同，這意味著無需改裝即可用於現有引擎。 布萊傑說：“這與乙醇汽油不同，消費者無需在加油站進行選擇。可再生柴油的化學成分與標準柴油相同。” 這筆資金將透過昆士蘭主權產業發展基金撥付，用於支持利頓煉油廠的基礎設施升級，包括建造二級儲槽防護系統和改進原料加工流程。該項目已被指定為“指定項目”，從而簡化了審批流程。 昆士蘭甘蔗種植者協會有限公司週三發表聲明，對這一決定表示歡迎，稱其為構建更強大、更具韌性的經濟體的機會。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
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 to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.

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.
