美國抵押貸款協會(MBA)數據顯示,截至5月1日當週,美國抵押貸款申請量下降,抵押貸款利率飆升。

By

-- 根據抵押貸款銀行家協會(MBA)週三公佈的數據,截至5月1日當週,抵押貸款申請量下降4.4%,原因是30年期固定抵押貸款利率上升導致再融資活動和新購房活動雙雙減少。 此前,截至4月24日當週,整體貸款活動下降了1.6%。 再融資貸款申請量下降了5%,而經季節性調整後的新購房申請量下降了4%。 MBA指出,由於中東持續衝突的影響,貸款餘額在832,750美元或以下的30年期固定抵押貸款的平均合約利率從前一周的6.37%升至6.45%,創一個月以來新高。 MBA副總裁兼副首席經濟學家喬爾·坎表示:“正如預期,高利率和再融資優惠政策的收緊繼續抑制貸款活動,再融資申請量較前一周再次下降——尤其是傳統貸款和退伍軍人事務部(VA)貸款。” “再融資申請佔比2025年8月以來最低。” Kan補充道,整體市場活動仍高於去年同期水平,購屋貸款的平均規模也創歷史新高。 「這一增長可能表明,鑑於經濟形勢的不確定性和利率上升,潛在的首次購房者和尋求低價房源的購房者可能最為猶豫不決。」Kan說。

Research Alert: CFRA Lifts View On Shares Of H.f. Sinclair To Buy From Hold

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 $87, raised $31, reflects a combination of relative valuation and DCF models. On a relative basis, we apply a 7.0x multiple of enterprise value to projected 2027 EBITDA. The applied multiple is above DINO's historical forward average, but below peers. We think a modest discount to peers is reasonable on the basis of below-average return on invested capital. Still, a multiple above normal levels for DINO is also reasonable, because we think refining margins will be high in both 2026 and 2027. This approach yields a value of $85 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5%, 2% terminal growth, discounted at a WACC of 7.2%, yields intrinsic value of $89 per share. We lift our 2026 EPS estimate by $2.87 to $7.30 and 2027's by $1.66 to $6.26. In our view, DINO has above-average exposure to middle distillates, which is where we think refining margins will be relatively stronger. Shares yield 2.8%.
