-- 紐西蘭統計局週二公佈的數據顯示,紐西蘭3月季度的年度消費者通膨率上漲3.1%,與截至2025年12月季的12個月漲幅持平。 根據Trading Economics的數據顯示,市場普遍預期漲幅為2.9%。 報告指出,電力價格上漲是年度通膨率的最大推手,漲幅約13%。 物價與平減指數發言人尼古拉·格羅登表示,電價上漲佔3.1%年度漲幅的十分之一以上,這標誌著電力價格連續第三個季度成為通膨上漲的最大推手。 其他推動年度通膨的主要因素包括地方政府稅費上漲8.8%,肉類和家禽價格上漲8.6%,租金上漲1.2%,汽油價格上漲1.1%。 與上一季相比,3月份季度的通膨率上升了0.9%,而2025年12月季度的漲幅為0.6%。 汽油價格上漲3.5%,是推高季度通膨率的主要因素;若剔除汽油價格,3月季度的消費者物價指數(CPI)上漲了0.8%。 「汽油是紐西蘭家庭第三大支出項目,僅次於房租和建築成本,」格羅登表示。 由於處方藥費用上漲,3月季度的藥品價格也上漲了約18%。此外,糖果、堅果和零食、水果以及電力價格的上漲也是推高整體物價的主要因素。

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.
