燃料費高騰を受け、インドの卸売物価は3月に上昇

-- 燃料費高騰の影響を受け、インドの卸売物価指数(WPI)は3月に前年同月比3.88%上昇し、2月の2.13%上昇から加速したと、商工省(MCI)が水曜日に発表した。 MCIによると、インドのWPIは3月に2月比1.64%上昇した。 世界の石油・ガス価格は、3月初旬にホルムズ海峡の航行が事実上停止されたことを受けて急騰した。ホルムズ海峡は世界の化石燃料供給量の約20%が通過する海域である。 供給不足を受け、インドの原油WPIは3月に2月比49.10%、前年同月比51.57%上昇したとMCIは発表した。 WPIは、一般消費者が直面する小売店での価格を測定する消費者物価指数(CPI)とは異なる。卸売物価指数(WPI)は、サプライチェーンおよび生産部門におけるコスト圧力を把握する上で重要な指標であり、消費者物価指数(CPI)のその後の変動を予測する先行指標の一つと考えられています。 インド商工会議所(MCI)の発表によると、3月のインドの卸売食品指数は前年同月比1.85%上昇し、製造品WPIは同3.39%上昇しました。 ペルシャ湾岸情勢の混乱に起因する物価上昇圧力は、インドの中央銀行であるインド準備銀行(RBI)によって注視されることは間違いありません。 RBIは、インドのCPIについて、年間目標インフレ率をプラスマイナス2%の範囲で設定しています。 統計省が月曜日に発表したところによると、3月のインドのCPIは前年同月比3.40%上昇し、2月の3.21%上昇から加速しました。 先週、インド準備銀行(RBI)は、比較的堅調な経済成長を背景に、地政学的な緊張と新たなインフレ圧力の高まりを理由に、主要政策金利を5.25%に据え置くことを決定した。

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.
