-- 罗森伯格研究公司在周三“戴夫早间新闻”节目中就加拿大经济发表评论称,今天“最令人费解的进展”是,交易员们为何仍然相信加拿大央行下一步会加息,“或者说,会持续加息”。 罗森伯格研究公司讽刺地问道:“消费者信心刚刚跌至11个月以来的最低点,那么为什么不把利率也列入抑制本地经济的因素呢?” 该公司指出,在伊朗战争爆发之前,加拿大根本没有通胀问题。 研究指出,过去一个月,认为经济状况有所改善的加拿大人比例几乎减半,从27%降至仅15%。而且,加拿大经济四年来首次在两个月内减少了超过10万个工作岗位。 “这难道不是加拿大央行加息的绝佳时机吗?”报告指出,同时还提到,3月份大多伦多地区(GTA)的房屋销售量比过去10年的平均水平低了52%。 报告称:“因此,在伊朗战争爆发之前,加拿大央行的宽松政策无异于徒劳无功,因为当国内消费者的资产负债表背负着接近历史最高水平的债务收入比时,刺激信贷活动就变得异常困难。” 罗森伯格研究公司进一步问道:担心加拿大的通货膨胀?那么通货紧缩呢?报告指出,严峻的现实是,过去一年大多伦多地区的平均房价下跌了7%,而房屋资产占家庭资产负债表的8.5万亿加元(相当于名义国内生产总值的2.5倍)。随着大量房屋涌入市场,新挂牌房源同比激增11.5%,房价预计还会进一步下跌。 罗森伯格表示,并非只有他一个人认为加拿大央行不会加息,因为外汇市场也做出了同样的反应,加元(CAD 或 loonie)兑美元汇率四个月来首次跌至 1.39 美元(低于 72 美分)。

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.
