TSX指数は正午時点で27ポイント下落

-- 中東和平の見通しが暗転する中、トロント証券取引所は正午時点で27ポイント下落した。 貴金属価格の下落を受け、鉱業株は0.5%下落と最もパフォーマンスが悪かった。 ヘルスケア株は2%上昇、エネルギー株は0.9%上昇と、最も好調だった。 経済面では、3月のカナダ消費者物価指数(CPI)の発表に注目が集まった。 CIBCは、CPIの総合指数は2.4%で、季節調整前の前月比0.9%増(季節調整後0.5%増)が牽引した。これは市場予想(2.6%)をわずかに下回ったものの、前月の1.8%増から大幅に加速したと指摘した。 「ガソリン価格の上昇により3月のインフレ率が上昇したことは誰もが知っていた。残る疑問は、その上昇幅だけだった」とCIBCは述べた。 「結果として、総合インフレ率の上昇は予想ほど高くなく、コアインフレ率は燃料価格の急騰を除けばインフレ圧力の兆候をほとんど示さなかった」とRBCは付け加えた。「エネルギー価格の上昇がコアインフレ率に転嫁されるのは、特に航空運賃などの分野で、夏季が近づくにつれてより顕著になる可能性がある。しかし、カナダ経済の余剰資金がこれらの指標の急激な再加速を抑制し、カナダ銀行は2026年まで様子見の姿勢を維持できるだろう。」 RBCにとっての結論は、食料品価格や家賃など一部の項目は依然として前年比で大幅に上昇しているものの、3月の報告書は、最近の原油価格の上昇が短期的には総合インフレ率を押し上げる可能性があるものの、より広範なインフレ圧力を再燃させる可能性は低いというRBCの見解を裏付けるものだということである。RBCは、カナダ銀行はインフレ期待を注視していくとしながらも、コア物価上昇率の鈍化により、失業率が依然として高い軟調な経済環境にも引き続き注意を払うことができると付け加えた。 株式市場では、ルパート・リソーシズ(RUP.TO)がアグニコ・イーグル・マインズ(AEM.TO)による買収を発表したことを受け、株価が65%急騰し、過去最高値の11.86ドルを記録した。この買収額はルパート・リソーシズの企業価値を29億ドルと評価するものである。

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.
