アップルは成長において大きな転換点を迎える可能性が高い、とウェドブッシュは述べている。

By

-- ウェドブッシュ証券は金曜日の調査レポートで、アップル（AAPL）が来月のWWDCで人工知能（AI）戦略を発表する準備を進めていることから、同社の成長は大きな転換期を迎える可能性が高いと述べた。 同証券は、今後数年間で世界人口の約20%がアップル製品を通じてAIを利用するようになると予測している。 アナリストらは、アップルは今後数年間でAIとストレージサービスを収益化できると見込んでおり、これにより株価は75ドルから100ドル上昇し、年間150億ドルのサービス収益が増加すると予想している。また、中国における拡大する顧客基盤をターゲットとする上で、アリババ（BABA）とのAI分野での提携が鍵となるだろうと指摘している。 収益化はアップルの顧客基盤に依存するが、折りたたみ式スマートフォン、AI搭載スマートフォン、そして手頃な価格のApple Glassesといったイノベーションが、同社の成功の原動力となるだろうと、同レポートは述べている。 同証券会社は、同銘柄に対する「アウトパフォーム」の投資判断を改めて表明し、目標株価を1株あたり350ドルから400ドルに引き上げたと発表した。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Royal Gold, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our unchanged 12-month target price of $354 is 24.0x our 2027 EPS estimate, nearly in line with RGLD's two-year average forward P/E of 23.5x and also close to peers' average forward P/E of 25.0x. We trim our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.20 to $12.05 and keep 2027 at $14.75. RGLD's Q1 results demonstrated the benefits of its 2025 transformational acquisitions, with record revenue ($469M), operating cash flow ($294M), and adjusted EPS ($2.72). The company maintains an attractive 83% adjusted EBITDA margin and strong liquidity of ~$1.1B. Management expects to fully repay its $525M revolving credit facility by Q4 2026 from operating cash flow at current metal prices. The portfolio is well-diversified, with no single asset contributing more than 12.5% of revenue, and includes significant growth from Greenstone, Platreef (first revenue expected in Q2), and Warintza (targeting permits by year-end). RGLD added a $600M accordion facility to pursue larger transactions and authorized a $500M buyback program.
