-- Pmet Resources（ASX:PMT）は、カナダ・ケベック州のシャアキチウワナアン・プロジェクトにおいて、ポルサイト精鉱から高付加価値セシウム化合物を製造するための高度な処理方法を評価するため、Koch Technology Solutions（Kochの子会社）と戦略的な試験作業プログラムを開始したと、木曜日に発表した声明で明らかにした。 同社によると、このプロジェクトには、世界最大級のポルサイト型セシウム資源が存在し、特にCV13ペグマタイト鉱床では、高品位鉱化作用が広範囲にわたって継続しているという。 今後4ヶ月間のプログラムでは、Kochの重要鉱物技術に関する専門知識を活用し、セシウム化合物の実用的な処理方法の開発に重点を置く。これらの処理方法は、石油・ガス、触媒、医薬品、先進太陽電池パネルなどの分野への応用が期待される。 同社は、掘削キャンペーンの一環としてCV13ペグマタイト鉱床での探査を継続し、今年後半にセシウム資源量の最新推定値を発表する予定であると述べた。

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.
