-- 受中東持續戰亂導致能源價格飆升的影響,德國2026年3月的年通膨率加速攀升,達到2024年1月以來的最高水準。 德國聯邦統計局週五公佈的最終數據顯示,3月德國消費者物價指數(CPI)從2月的1.9%升至2.7%,與先前的初步估計相符。環比來看,CPI環比漲幅與先前公佈的1.1%的初值一致,高於前值0.2%。 能源產品價格年增7.2%,這是自2023年12月以來能源價格首次出現年增率。受戰爭影響,其中汽車燃油和暖氣油價格分別飆升20%和44.4%。 服務業方面,價格上漲3.2%,食品日用品價格分別上漲0.9%及2.3%,與整體通膨率基本一致。剔除食品和能源價格後的核心通膨率為2.5%。 同時,年度調和通膨率從2%上升至2.8%。調和消費者物價月增1.2%,高於前一月的0.4%。德國統計局確認了這兩項數據的初步讀數。 展望未來,荷蘭國際集團(ING)預計德國整體通膨率將進一步上升,並在2026年的大部分時間裡保持在3%至4%之間。 該研究機構在3月30日的一份報告中指出:「總而言之,今天的德國通膨數據顯示,目前源自中東戰爭的新一輪通膨浪潮『僅僅』是能源價格衝擊。歐洲央行對這一新價格衝擊的任何反應,顯然取決於飆升的能源價格是否會波及到其他經濟領域。」毋庸置疑,通膨壓力擴大和通膨預期脫息可能引發歐洲央行預期脫息。然而,就目前而言——至少在歐洲央行內部,冒著使用禁忌詞彙的風險——能源價格衝擊仍被歸類為「暫時性」的。

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.
