-- 達美航空(DAL)週三公佈的第一季業績超出預期,這主要得益於強勁的商務和休閒旅遊需求。不過,該公司也指出,由於中東戰爭的影響,本季燃油支出增加了超過20億美元。 該公司公佈的截至3月份的季度調整後每股收益為0.64美元,高於去年同期的0.45美元,也高於FactSet調查的0.58美元的預期。營業收入成長13%至158.5億美元。客運總收入成長7%,貨運收入成長9%。 執行長艾德·巴斯蒂安在聲明中表示:「儘管燃油成本大幅上漲,且整個行業都面臨營運中斷,但我們的收益仍然比去年同期增長了40%以上。」該股在最近的盤前交易中上漲了12%。 第一季經調整後的營業收入成長9.4%,達到142億美元,高於分析師平均預期的140.5億美元。首席商務官喬·埃斯波西托表示,這項指標的成長得益於「商務和休閒旅遊市場的普遍強勁需求」。經調整後的每可用座位英里總收入年增8.2%,所有地區均實現成長。 巴斯蒂安表示,該航空公司正在採取措施保護其利潤率和現金流,包括「在燃油環境改善之前,大幅降低運力成長,並迅速採取措施彌補燃油成本上漲的影響」。 美國和伊朗週二同意停火兩週,結束了2月底以來的軍事衝突。這場戰爭蔓延至整個中東地區,並阻礙了關鍵的霍爾木茲海峽的運輸,推高了能源價格。 達美航空預計本季燃油價格將以4月2日的遠期曲線計算,預計綜合價格約為每加侖4.30美元,將使燃油成本增加超過20億美元。上一季度,調整後的燃油價格年增7%,達到每加侖2.62美元。 達美航空表示,基於兩位數左右的營收成長,預計第二季調整後每股收益為1美元至1.50美元。華爾街預期非GAAP每股盈餘為1.56美元,營收為172.1億美元。埃斯波西托表示,由於航空公司正在削減運能並努力回收燃油,預計運能將與去年同期持平。 巴斯蒂安表示:“我們預計在6月份的季度中,將以10億美元的利潤引領行業。儘管近期燃油價格飆升對盈利造成了一定影響,但我相信,這種環境最終將鞏固達美航空的領先地位,並加速其長期盈利能力的提升。”

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.
