-- ASMLホールディング(ASML.AS)は、人工知能関連インフラへの需要の高まりに牽引された好調な第1四半期業績を受け、2026年通期の売上高見通しを上方修正した。 オランダの半導体製造装置メーカーである同社は水曜日、売上高目標を従来の340億ユーロ~390億ユーロから360億ユーロ~400億ユーロに引き上げると発表した。一方、粗利益率の見通しは51%~53%で据え置いた。 第2四半期については、売上高を84億ユーロ~90億ユーロ、粗利益率を51%~52%と見込んでいる。 「半導体業界の成長見通しは、AI関連インフラへの継続的な投資に牽引され、ますます強固なものとなっています。チップの需要は供給を上回っており、これに対応して、顧客企業は2026年以降の生産能力拡大計画を加速させています。これは、顧客企業との長期契約によって支えられています」と、クリストフ・フーケ社長兼CEOは述べ、ASMLの受注は顧客需要の高まりを受けて引き続き非常に好調であると付け加えた。 この見通しの上方修正は、ASMLが2026年3月29日までの3ヶ月間の米国会計基準(US GAAP)に基づく総売上高が87億7000万ユーロとなり、2025年3月30日までの3ヶ月間の77億4000万ユーロを上回ったと発表したことを受けてのものだ。システム売上高は総売上高の62億8000万ユーロを占め、売上高に対する粗利益率は前年同期の54%に対し、53%となった。 さらに、3ヶ月間の純利益は27億6000万ユーロとなり、前回の23億6000万ユーロから増加しました。1株当たり利益(EPS)は6ユーロから7.15ユーロに上昇しました。 ASMLは第1四半期に11億ユーロ相当の自社株買いを実施し、2028年まで実施予定の総額120億ユーロの自社株買いプログラムを開始したと発表しました。 水曜日の正午までに、アムステルダム証券取引所に上場している同社の株価は1%近く下落しました。

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.
