受霍爾木茲海峽可能開放以及以色列計畫與黎巴嫩對話的消息提振,美國股市指數上漲。

-- 週四午後,受媒體報導霍爾木茲海峽已開放以及以色列總理內塔尼亞胡表示特拉維夫將與黎巴嫩展開直接對話以解除真主黨武裝的影響,美國股市指數上漲。 那斯達克指數上漲0.8%,至22,815.1點;標普500指數上漲0.7%,至6,830.9點;道瓊工業指數上漲0.8%,至48,308.4點。此前,這些指數在周三經歷了一波強勁上漲。除能源和醫療保健板塊外,所有板塊盤中均上漲,其中非必需消費品、公用事業和房地產板塊領漲。 受以色列週三襲擊黎巴嫩的影響,三大股指周四開盤走低。路透社報道,這次襲擊造成超過250人死亡。然而,午後過後,股市開始反彈。 英國獨立電視台(ITV)報告稱,伊朗副外交部長賽義德·哈提卜扎德表示,霍爾木茲海峽已開放。哈提卜札德告訴ITV,任何民用船隻在伊朗當局的引導下均可通過。 與此同時,美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報道稱,為期兩週的停火協議似乎進展順利,週四中東地區報告的襲擊事件有所減少。 此外,根據CNN報道,內塔尼亞胡提議與黎巴嫩展開談判,以解除據稱是伊朗代理人的武裝組織真主黨的武裝,此舉回應了伊朗總統馬蘇德·佩澤什基安提出的擔憂。路透社引述佩澤什基安的話說,特拉維夫週三對黎巴嫩的空襲違反了停火協議,更重要的是,這將使即將在伊斯蘭堡舉行的美伊和平談判失去意義。 西德州中質原油期貨上漲2.2%,至每桶96.52美元,盤中一度上漲超過7%。布蘭特原油期貨上漲0.4%,至每桶95.07美元,盤中一度上漲近5%。 美國公債殖利率下跌,10年期公債殖利率下降2.6個基點至4.27%,2年期公債殖利率下降3.6個基點至3.76%。 貴金屬方面,黃金期貨上漲0.9%,至每盎司4,821.1美元;白銀期貨上漲1.5%,至每盎司76.54美元。 經濟方面,個人消費支出物價指數上漲0.4%,較去年同期漲幅維持在2.8%,與預期相符。 1月該價格指數季增0.3%。 核心個人消費支出(PCE)物價指數上漲0.4%,與預期一致,與1月持平。年比增速從上月的3.1%降至3%。 美國第四季經濟成長率(以國內生產毛額衡量)從第二次預估值的0.7%下調至0.5%,而彭博調查的預期為維持不變。 截至4月4日當週,美國首次申請失業救濟人數上升至21.9萬人,高於前一週向上修正後的20.3萬人,而彭博調查的預期為21萬人。 公司新聞方面,CoreWeave(CRWV)宣布與Meta Platforms(META)簽署協議,將以約210億美元的價格向後者提供人工智慧雲端容量,有效期至2032年12月。 CoreWeave和Meta的股價分別上漲了6.5%和3.1%。

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.
