-- 独立研究机构CFRA向提供了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师总结如下：AFL公布2026年第一季度调整后每股收益为1.75美元，高于此前预期的1.66美元（增长5.4%），高于我们此前1.58美元的预期，但低于市场普遍预期的1.80美元，汇率波动造成了0.02美元的负面影响。由于投资业绩出现显著好转，净每股收益从0.05美元飙升至1.98美元（增长3860%），净收益为4900万美元，而此前亏损为9.63亿美元。尽管日元持续疲软影响了业绩，但我们认为强劲的保险业务基础令人鼓舞。管理层预计将在明天的电话会议上更新其2026年展望和销售预测。日本市场表现尤为强劲，新增年度保费销售额飙升25.5%至177亿日元（1.13亿美元），这主要得益于安信Palette医疗保险和Miraito癌症保险等产品的成功上市。美国销售额增长 2.9% 至 3.18 亿美元，主要反映了团体产品的增长，但鉴于该公司在日益数字化的市场中对独立代理商的依赖，我们预计分销方面仍将面临挑战。

African Oil Producers Push To Keep Drilling At Fossil Fuel Phaseout Talks
Oil-rich African nations said they will continue drilling to support economic growth, despite global efforts to phase out fossil fuels, AFP reported from ongoing talks in Colombia.Officials from several producers argued that a rapid transition away from oil and gas is not feasible given their reliance on fossil fuel revenues."Not phasing out - phase down. That is the message," said Onuoha Magnus Chidi, an adviser to Nigeria's regional development minister, to AFP.Delegates warned that an abrupt shift could lead to job losses and economic disruption, calling for financial support and policy flexibility to help manage the transition, AFP said.
