-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。当社は、2027年のEPS予想を5.22ドル(1.85ドル増)とし、予想PERを10.0倍として、目標株価を23ドルから52ドルに引き上げます。これは、過去の水準と比較してEBITが低迷していることを考慮すると、LYBの過去5年間の平均PER10.8倍に対してわずかなディスカウントとなります。また、2026年のEPS予想を2.44ドルから7.21ドルに引き上げます。当社は、LYBの株価が2026年年初来で69%急騰した後、リスク・リターン比率が不利になっていると考えています。中東紛争は、世界の石油化学生産能力の20%を混乱させ、市場を逼迫させ、ポリエチレンとポリプロピレンの価格を大幅に上昇させたため、LYBにとって一時的な恩恵をもたらしました。 LYBは、コスト面で優位な米国産エタン資産と、供給不足を補うための欧州での増産を通じて、この環境を最大限に活用してきました。しかしながら、こうした追い風は持続不可能であると予想されます。さらに、紛争が短期的に収束せず長期化すれば、原油価格の上昇とバリューチェーン全体にわたるコストインフレによる需要の減少が、需給バランスの引き締めによるメリットを相殺してしまう可能性が高いでしょう。

EMEA Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise Nearly 2% With Markets Skeptical of Trump's Plan
European natural gas futures were up on Monday, despite US President Donald Trump's recent plans to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.The front-month Dutch TTF contract was up 1.69% to 46.54 euros ($54.49) per megawatt-hour, while the UK NBP contract was closed due to the Early May Bank Holiday.In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump said that US forces would use their "best efforts" to get the ships and crew stranded in the Persian Gulf safely out of the Strait. Referring to it as "Project Freedom," Trump said that this would begin on Monday morning.Yet, European natural gas prices continued to rally, as ING analysts noted that the "market does not seem convinced by the plan," especially since it does little to enable inbound traffic. This would only amount to "temporary relief" the note said, allowing floating storage to leave the Gulf.Meanwhile, Iran has received a response to its latest proposal from the US, with Tehran's 14-point peace plan calling for an end to the hostilities between the two nations within the next 30 days, according to the Tasnim News Agency. The US, however, is yet to officially confirm that it has responded to the proposal.Additionally, supply concerns in global gas markets have also been subdued due to "the current shoulder season," according to Daniel Hynes, a senior commodity strategist at ANZ. He also noted that this lull is giving markets a bit of breathing room to properly assess the impact of ongoing disruptions.The Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for one-fifth of global LNG flows, remained effectively closed for the tenth week running, with just 12 vessels transiting over the past 24 hours, according to the Hormuz Strait Monitor.At the same time, European gas inventories are still depleted going into refilling season, at just 33.42% of capacity, compared to 40.29% during this period last year, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe.

Errington Metals Further Defines Errington Zone at Sudbury Project With 2025 Drilling
Errington Metals (EM.V) has better defined the size and shape of the Errington mineralized zone, which is part of its Sudbury Basin Project in Ontario, the company said on Monday.The Errington zone remains open along strike and at depth (down-dip) with priority areas identified for follow-up exploration drilling. Multiple holes also intersected copper- and gold-rich stringer mineralization, and elevated copper values within zinc-rich massive sulphide intervals, a statement added.Key intercepts from the 2025 diamond drilling program include 23.8 m grading 3.98% copper, 5.76% zinc, 2.61 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and and 130.2 g/t silver.Errington said the results improve confidence in the continuity of mineralization and will feed into 3D geological modelling and an updated mineral resource estimate targeted for the second half of this year.Errington shares closed down $0.04, to $2.96, on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
