ウェドブッシュ社は、TMCが重要鉱物の商業生産に向けた許可手続きを進めたにもかかわらず、「過小評価されている」と述べている。

-- ウェドブッシュ証券は金曜日のレポートで、TMC(金属会社)は深海底多金属団塊採掘の先駆者であるにもかかわらず、「過小評価されている」と指摘した。 米国海洋大気庁(NOAA)は最近、TMCの米国子会社による海底探査ライセンスおよび商業採掘許可申請が連邦法に完全に準拠していると判断した。この決定により、申請は認証段階に進み、その後、審査のために公表され、規制当局が最終決定を下す前に、環境影響評価書の草案がパブリックコメントに付される予定だと、レポートは述べている。 TMCは2027年第1四半期までに規制手続きを完了する見込みであり、ウェドブッシュ証券のアナリストは、クラリオン・クリッパートン鉱区における重要鉱物の初期商業生産開始に向けて順調に進んでいると述べている。 アナリストらは、TMCが商業生産への道のりにおけるリスク低減を継続していると指摘し、テキサス州ブラウンズビルに団塊処理拠点を建設する計画や、米国政府による支援の拡大を挙げた。 ウェドブッシュは同社の投資判断を「アウトパフォーム」に据え置き、目標株価を8ドルから10ドルに引き上げた。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Cms Energy Corporation

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 by $1 to $87, 22.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate, above peers and CMS's three-year historical average of 18.4x. We trim both our 2026 and 2027 EPS views by $0.02 to $3.88 and $4.17, respectively. CMS posted Q1 adjusted EPS growth of 10.8%. CMS announced that two hyperscaler data centers had reached commercial agreement on contract terms and signed 110 MW of new load in Q1 alone (exceeding all of 2025's signings), with expected load coming online starting in 2028, all incremental to the current plan. Each 1 GW of new load provides $2B-$5B in capital investment opportunities while reducing average customer rate growth by ~2%. We think CMS offers competitive near-term EPS (~7.6% 2025-2028 CAGR) and dividend growth trajectories (~5.8%). In our view, Michigan is one of the most supportive regulatory districts in the country, with CMS's most recent electric rate case outcome highlighting regulatory willingness to support prudent investments through multiple recovery mechanisms.

Life Time Set for Strong Q1 Comparable Club Growth, UBS Says

Life Time (LTH) is expected to post robust comparable club growth in Q1, with slightly better-than-expected revenue and EBITDA, as investors focus on concerns around member growth metrics per center and spending trends in a softer macro environment, UBS Securities said Friday.Ahead of the company's Q1 results on Tuesday, the investment firm said it sees upside to its Q1 EBITDA estimate of $215 million and expects comparable club revenue growth of about 7% to 7.5%.UBS said the key investor debate centers on whether the company can sustain growth in revenue per member and overall club economics amid pressure on consumer spending.The brokerage also noted that Life Time could continue repurchasing stock from sponsors, helping reduce overhang, while keeping leverage below its 2x target.UBS has a buy rating on the stock, with a price target of $43.Price: $26.68, Change: $-0.13, Percent Change: -0.50%
