美國天然氣最新動態:期貨價格上漲,受天氣變動支撐

-- 週四盤後交易中,美國天然氣期貨價格延續漲勢,受天氣預報變動的提振,庫存增幅超乎預期,引發尾盤買盤。 近月亨利樞紐天然氣期貨合約和連續基準天然氣期貨均上漲2.41%,收在每百萬英熱單位2.673美元。 Barchart表示,週四晚間價格走高,是由於天氣前景不明朗引發空頭回補。該公司引述商品天氣集團(Commodity Weather Group)的預測稱,4月20日之前,美國東部三分之二地區的氣溫將有所下降,而4月21日至25日,美國東部和中西部北部地區的氣溫預計將高於平均水平。 週四早些時候,美國能源資訊署(EIA)公佈了連續第三週的天然氣庫存成長數據,截至4月10日當週,地下天然氣庫存增加590億立方英尺,達到19,700億立方英尺。根據Investing.com的數據顯示,這一增幅超過了市場預期的550億立方英尺。 EIA表示,目前的庫存比去年同期高出1,260億立方英尺,比五年平均18,620億立方英尺高出1,080億立方英尺,但仍在五年歷史區間內。此次庫存增幅也超過了去年同期的220億立方英尺增幅和五年平均增幅380億立方英尺。 供應方面,根據Barchart引用彭博新能源財經(BNEF)的數據,週四美國本土48州乾氣日產量估計為1107億立方英尺,年增3.3%。美國本土48州的液化天然氣需求量為每日700億立方英尺(Bcf),較去年同期下降4.3%。預計液化天然氣淨流入出口終端的流量為每日199億立方英尺,與上週持平。 Gelber & Associates公司表示,美國產量加上加拿大進口量,供應量為每日1,140億立方英尺,而需求量為每日1,050億立方英尺。需求方面,電力消耗量已回升至每週每日320億立方英尺,但由於供暖需求持續下降,居民和商業需求從上週的每日208億立方英尺大幅下降至每日135億立方英尺,抵消了電力需求的支撐。 Gelber & Associates公司週四早些時候表示:“由於庫存盈餘擴大,整體供需平衡仍然較為充足,除非天氣能夠帶來更持久的需求響應,否則短期供需曲線可能仍將承壓。”

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.
