オーストラリア株は横ばい。リオ・ティントは第1四半期の銅換算生産量と鉄鉱石生産量が増加。

-- オーストラリア株式市場は火曜日、米国とイランのさらなる交渉に関する報道を受け、アジア市場の大半が上昇した一方、ほぼ横ばいで取引を終えた。 S&P/ASX 200指数は小幅な変動にとどまり、8,949.40で引けた。 イランはパキスタンで開催される米国との和平交渉への参加を検討している一方、2週間の停戦期限が切れる前に、イランの港湾に対する米国の封鎖解除を目指している。この封鎖は、イランの交渉参加における主要な障害と見られている。 月曜日、ナスダック総合指数は0.3%、S&P500指数は0.2%それぞれ下落したが、ダウ平均株価はほぼ横ばいだった。 国内経済指標では、ANZ銀行が発表した4月13日から19日の週のANZ-ロイ・モーガン・オーストラリア消費者信頼感指数は0.2ポイント低下し、64.3となった。 企業ニュースでは、リオ・ティント・グループ(ASX:RIO)が火曜日、第1四半期の銅換算生産量が前年同期比9%増加したと発表しました。一方、世界の鉄鉱石生産量は12%増の8,280万トンとなりました。 ライナス・レアアース(ASX:LYC)は、第3四半期の売上高が前年同期の1億2,300万豪ドルから2億6,500万豪ドルに増加し、売上高も1億2,460万豪ドルから2億3,400万豪ドルに増加したと発表しました。 最後に、カンタス航空(ASX:QAN)は、国内線および地域路線の90路線で、エコノミークラスとビジネスクラスの両方を含む運賃の1週間限定セールを開始しました。対象期間は2027年3月までです。

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.
