米国バイオ燃料最新情報:利益確定売りで大豆油先物価格が下落

-- バイオ燃料原料先物市場は金曜日、トレーダーが大豆油市場で利益確定売りを行ったため、まちまちの展開で取引を終えた。 シカゴ商品取引所(CBOT)の5月限大豆先物契約は金曜日、前日比0.90%高の1ブッシェル当たり11.75ドルで引けた一方、5月限大豆油先物契約は前日比0.90%安の1ポンド当たり67.09セントで引けた。 木曜日には、ニューヨーク・マーカンタイル取引所(NYMEX)の5月限エタノール先物契約が前日比1.28%安の1ガロン当たり1.92ドルで取引を終えた。 DTNのアナリスト、レット・モンゴメリー氏は、大豆先物価格は、大豆粕先物価格の二桁上昇に支えられたと述べた。 「大豆粕価格の上昇は、週末にかけて大豆粕買い/原油売りのスプレッドが拡大したことが要因だ。海外市場では、原油先物価格は2営業日連続で小幅上昇したが、週末にパキスタンで行われる米イラン間の協議を前に、強気ムードはやや抑えられている」とアナリストは述べた。 モンゴメリー氏は、木曜日にホルムズ海峡を通過した船舶はわずか8隻で、しかもイランの貨物を積んだものだけだったという報道を引用し、「停戦交渉が続く中で、これは間違いなく米イラン間の争点となるだろう」と指摘した。

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.
