韩国股市在美伊伊斯兰堡停火谈判前收高

-- 周五,韩国股市收高,此前伊朗和美国周四同意停火两周,双方将于当天晚些时候在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行停火谈判。 美国副总统万斯将前往伊斯兰堡,但由于以色列本周早些时候袭击了贝鲁特,德黑兰是否会参与谈判仍不明朗。 韩国综合股价指数(KOSPI)上涨80.86点,涨幅1.4%,收于5858.87点。韩国创业板指数(KOSDAQ)也上涨17.63点,涨幅1.6%,收于1093.63点。 经济方面,韩国央行货币政策委员会周五决定,鉴于近期中东局势的不确定性可能加剧通胀,将基准利率维持在2.50%不变。 路透社调查的31位经济学家普遍预期央行将采取加息措施。其中大多数经济学家预计今年内利率不会变动,只有4位预测加息——3位预测到年底加息至2.75%,1位预测至3%。 目前预计年度通胀率将超过2月份预测的2.2%的总体通胀率和2.1%的核心通胀率。然而,由于油价、汇率、政策影响和成本转嫁水平等因素,通胀前景仍存在较大不确定性。 企业新闻方面,据韩国交易所周五发布的公告显示,HJ造船建设公司(KRX:097230)从范川5区重建项目协会中标釜山重建项目。 该合同价值3497亿韩元。 受此消息提振,该造船公司的股价在收盘时上涨超过2%。

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.
