-- 根據Redfin週四發布的數據顯示,受中東衝突和高房價抑制需求的影響,美國待售房屋數量創下近一年來最大跌幅。 這家線上房地產經紀公司的數據顯示,截至週日的四周內,待售房屋數量年減4.1%,至86,665套。美國50個最大的都會區中,除7個以外,其餘所有地區的房屋銷售量均出現下滑,其中羅德島州普羅維登斯的降幅最大,約為18%。報告顯示,舊金山的房屋銷售量增幅最大,達9.6%。 Redfin在一份報告中指出:“潛在購房者之所以放棄購房計劃,部分原因是伊朗戰爭造成了廣泛的地緣政治和經濟不確定性,使一些美國人對大宗消費持謹慎態度。這也推高了抵押貸款利率。” Redfin引述房地美(Freddie Mac)的數據稱,截至週四的一周內,30年期固定抵押貸款的平均利率為6.3%,低於兩週前創下的六個月高點。報告顯示,截至週日的四周內,房屋銷售價格中位數為393,059美元,年增2.3%,創一年來最大漲幅。 Redfin引述ShowingTime的數據稱,自2026年初以來,截至週日,房屋參觀活動增加了11%,而一年前的增幅為40%。該經紀公司表示,這顯示購屋者的需求「異常疲軟」。 Redfin高級經紀人Stacey Bryant表示:“高利率並未嚇退高端買家,但對於預算較為緊張的買家來說,利率差異足以讓他們望而卻步。注重成本的買家也擔心汽油、食品和能源等其他商品價格上漲會擠佔他們的預算。” 自2月底美以與伊朗爆發戰爭以來,能源價格飆升,關鍵的霍爾木茲海峽實際上已被封鎖。白宮對與伊朗達成協議持樂觀態度,並指出第二輪談判很可能在巴基斯坦舉行。同時,華盛頓和德黑蘭之間為期兩週的停火協議仍然有效。 Redfin表示:“未來幾週,抵押貸款利率可能會上下波動,具體取決於伊朗戰爭的走向、談判結果以及油價。”

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.
