-- 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、12ヶ月目標株価を2ドル引き下げ、10ドルとします。EV/EBITDAは、2027年のEBITDA予測値8.0倍で、CLFの過去3年間の平均EV/EBITDA予測値8.6倍、同業他社の平均8.8倍を下回ります。2026年の1株当たり損失予測は0.39ドルで据え置き、2027年のEPS予測は0.26ドル引き下げ、0.55ドルとします。貿易規制の強化が国内鉄鋼価格を支え、特に自動車分野における需要が強まることから、2026年を通じて業績は段階的に改善すると予測しています。2026年第2四半期からプラスのフリーキャッシュフローが創出され、操業停止が最小限に抑えられれば、第3四半期には同社の収益力が最大限に発揮されると予想しています。主な追い風としては、金融危機後の最低水準にある鉄鋼輸入量、自動車をはじめとする様々な分野で勢いを増しているアルミニウムから鉄鋼への代替、そして健全な市場環境を反映したリードタイムの延長などが挙げられます。しかしながら、CLFの負債比率の高さ(純負債77億ドル)と、現在進行中のPOSCO買収取引における実行リスクについては、引き続き慎重な姿勢を維持しています。CLFが持続的なEBITDA成長を示すまでは、「ホールド」のレーティングが適切であると考えます。

Asia Biofuels Update: Malaysian Palm Oil Diverges from Crude Oil on Weaker Exports, Stronger Ringgit
Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Monday, pulling away from crude oil prices, as weaker exports and a stronger local currency weighed on sentiment.Reversing the previous session's gains, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' May crude palm oil contract fell 0.66% to 4,487 Malaysian ringgit ($1,134.94) per metric ton. The June contract dropped by 0.96% to 4,521 ringgit/mt in midday trade.Malaysian shipments for the April 1-25 period reportedly declined 15.7% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.A stronger Malaysian ringgit, which rose against the US dollar by 0.28% on Monday, could further pressure exports as it makes them costlier.The recent drop in Malaysian shipments followed a 29.1% year-over-year rise in Q1 exports, as buyers advanced purchases due to the expected surge in shipping costs and as volumes of rival Indonesian cargoes softened due to higher export levies.Indonesia's move to raise its palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from 40% beginning July 1 could further lift Malaysian exports going forward.The Malaysia Palm Oil Council said Indonesia's B50 program could absorb an additional 3 million metric tons per year of palm oil. Annual domestic consumption in Thailand could also increase by 350,000 metric tons as the country moves to B7 from B5, while demand in Malaysia could rise by 300,000 mt as the government raises its biodiesel blend to B15 from B10.Rising biofuel demand, elevated crude oil prices, and supply risks from the potential development of an El Nino weather trend will support palm oil prices, with the MPOC projecting them at around 4,500 ringgit/mt in the near term."However, further gains are likely to be capped by softer export demand amid inflation and weaker economic growth in key importing countries, alongside rising stocks as palm oil production gradually enters its seasonal peak," the MPOC said.According to Jim Teh, senior palm oil trader at Interband Group of Co., as cited by Bernama, palm oil prices could trade between 4,200 ringgit/mt and 4,300 ringgit/mt this week due to profit taking.
