-- 米国の天然ガス先物価格は月曜日、予想を下回る貯蔵量増加、生産量の減少、そして強気な気象予報に支えられ上昇した。 ヘンリーハブの期近限月契約と現物先物契約はともに1.26%上昇し、100万BTUあたり2.81ドルで取引を終えた。 これは、米国エネルギー情報局(EIA)が発表した週間貯蔵量報告で、4月24日までの週の貯蔵量純増が790億立方フィートとなり、前週の1030億立方フィートから減少、Investing.comがまとめたデータによると、市場予想の830億立方フィートを下回ったことを受けてのものだ。 同時に、TradingEconomicsによると、生産量は過去1週間で日量20億立方フィート減少し、12週間ぶりの低水準となる日量1076億立方フィートまで落ち込んだ。 ブルームバーグLNG供給ガスモデルの推計によると、米国のLNG供給量は過去最高水準に近いものの、30日移動平均の194.8億立方フィート(Bcf)を下回り、1日あたり180.3億立方フィートとやや減少している。 米国気象局によると、5月11日から17日にかけて、米国の約3分の2の地域で平年を上回る気温が予想されている。これは、ここ数週間の平年を下回る気温とは対照的だ。 NRGエナジーによると、この状況は強気材料となる可能性がある。この時期に西部と中西部が温暖な気候になると、初夏の冷房需要が高まる傾向があるためだ。

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers View On Shares Of Ati Inc. To Buy From Strong Buy
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our $179 12-month target is based on an EV/EBITDA of 19.0x applied to our 2027 EBITDA estimate, above ATI's trailing-12-month average forward EV/EBITDA of 17.4x but below peers' average forward EV/EBITDA of 27.2x. We raise our 2026 EPS by $0.03 to $4.46 and 2027's by $0.11 to $5.51. We lower our rating to Buy from Strong Buy based on elevated earnings multiples, not deteriorating fundamentals. ATI is executing well on its strategy to prioritize high-value aerospace, defense, and specialty energy markets. ATI raised full-year 2026 guidance with adjusted EBITDA now expected at $1.01B-$1.06B (up $35M at midpoint), representing 20% Y/Y growth. Record backlog of $4.1B and extending lead times (1+ years for nickel alloys, nearly 2 years for premium titanium) provide strong visibility. Management expects consolidated EBITDA margins above 20% with 40% incremental margins driven by favorable mix and long-term contract pricing. ATI's differentiated position in capacity-constrained markets supports our positive view.
Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Oneok Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target price of $96, raised $7, reflects a combination of relative valuation and DCF model analyses. On a relative basis, we apply a 10.5x multiple of enterprise value to projected '27 EBITDA, in line with OKE's historical forward average, which yields an $89 value. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 3.5% and terminal growth of 2.0%, discounted at a WACC of 5.4%, yields a value of $103 per share. We lift our '26 EPS estimate by $0.09 to $5.78, but cut '27's by $0.06 to $6.08. OKE noted that its U.S. Gulf Coast Permian NGL volumes rose 31% in Q1, which we think is at least partly due to the disruption in the Middle East and overseas buyers looking for alternative sourcing. We estimate that the combination of growth capex and dividend outlays will chew up about 83% of operating cash flow in 2026, implying a modest degree of safety, but only slightly better than peers. Shares yield 4.6%.
