GFL Environmental將以46.2億美元收購在多倫多證券交易所上市的Secure Waste

-- GFL Environmental (GFL) 已同意以 64 億加元（約 46.3 億美元）的價格收購 Secure Waste Infrastructure，預計此舉將提升其在加拿大西部的廢棄物管理業務。 兩家公司週一表示，GFL 將以每股 24.75 加元的價格收購 Secure 的股份。 Secure 在加拿大西部和北達科他州經營一個廢棄物管理平台。此次收購價格較 Secure 截至上週五的 60 個交易日的平均股價溢價 23%。 GFL 將以現金支付 20% 的收購價，其餘部分以附屬投票權股份支付。 根據聯合聲明，該交易尚需獲得 Secure 股東的同意以及法院和監管機構的批准，預計今年下半年完成。 GFL首席執行官帕特里克·多維吉表示：“收購Secure將為我們提供一個高度互補的、已獲許可的廢物處理和處置資產網絡，這將擴大我們在加拿大西部的業務覆蓋範圍，顯著提升我們的規模，並增強我們為客戶提供全方位廢物管理服務的能力。” Secure董事長米克·迪爾格表示，Secure的股東預計將持有合併後公司16%的股份。 根據聯合聲明，交易完成後，公司股票將從多倫多證券交易所下市。多維吉表示，預計該交易將立即使GFL的調整後每股自由現金流增加12%至15%。 多維吉表示：“此次交易提高了GFL的流通股加權市值，從而增強了其流動性，並提升了其未來被納入更廣泛股票指數的可能性。” 週一，GFL股價下跌6.5%。 Secure 執行長 Allen Gransch 表示：“此次交易將 Secure 難以複製的基礎設施網絡與 GFL 更廣泛的平台相結合，從而增強 GFL 在整個價值鏈中捕獲更多廢物流的能力。”

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.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion In Shares Of Wab

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 to $285 from $275 following WAB's Q1 earnings print, valuing shares at 24.2x our 2027 EPS outlook of $11.76 (revised from $11.46; 2026 EPS estimate up to $10.57 from $10.50), a slight premium to WAB's long-term historical multiple average given structural improvements in earnings quality. While we are cautious on signs of overcapacity in the freight market, an elevated order backlog (12-month sits at over $9 billion), internal initiatives to shore up margins, and potential synergies from M&A activity positions WAB to continue growing earnings at double-digit rates in 2026-2027, in our view. Despite tariff-related cost pressures, WAB has done a commendable job of defending margins via a mix of pricing, lean manufacturing, and pruning of lower-profit operations. Q1 results were mixed but overall positive, in our view. We maintain our Hold recommendation on shares.
