-- 火曜日の原油価格は、米国とイランの間で戦争終結に向けた協議が再開される可能性が高まったことを受け、供給懸念が緩和されたことで下落した。 ブレント原油は最終値で1.1%安の1バレル98.28ドル、WTI原油は2.2%安の1バレル96.92ドルとなった。しかし、中東のエネルギーインフラへの攻撃とホルムズ海峡の事実上の封鎖により、供給懸念は依然として残っている。 米軍はホルムズ海峡の封鎖範囲を東はオマーン湾とアラビア海まで拡大すると発表した。これに対しイランは、湾岸諸国の港湾を標的にすると脅迫した、と報道されている。 ロイター通信は、匿名の5人の情報筋の話として、米イランの交渉団が今週後半にイスラマバードに戻る可能性があると報じた。 「対立する両国間の協議が実を結ばなかった場合、世界の原油在庫の減少が第3四半期以降にまで波及する可能性があるため、3月の高値水準に再び達する可能性も否定できない」と、ロイター通信はPVMオイル・アソシエイツのアナリスト、タマス・ヴァルガ氏の発言を引用して報じた。

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.
