ウェドブッシュ証券によると、フォーティネットはサイバーリスク対策とAIのアップグレードにより、より速い成長が見込まれる。

By

-- フォーティネット(FTNT)は、AI主導のインフラニーズ、サイバーリスクの高まり、製品のアップグレード、ベンダー統合、そして販売の勢いの加速といった要因が、売上高と請求額の見通しを支え、力強い成長が見込まれると、ウェドブッシュ証券は木曜日に発表したレポートで述べた。 レポートによると、第1四半期の請求額は前年同期比31%増の20億9000万ドルとなり、ウォール街の予想を上回った。これは、セキュリティオペレーションと運用技術セキュリティの好調が要因となっている。売上高は20%増加し、これは大手顧客がAI関連ワークロード向けに高性能システムへのアップグレードを進めたことが貢献したとウェドブッシュは述べている。 ウェドブッシュによると、営業利益率と1株当たり利益は、堅調な事業遂行とコスト管理により、いずれも予想を上回った。フォーティネットは、サイバー脅威、データセキュリティニーズ、そしてコスト圧力の高まりが顧客をより広範なサイバープラットフォームへと向かわせていることを受け、2026年の売上高と請求額の見通しを引き上げたと、レポートは述べている。 ウェドブッシュ証券は、フォーティネット株の目標株価を90ドルから125ドルに引き上げ、アウトパフォームの投資判断を維持した。これは、同社の成長回復に対する自信が高まったためだ。

Research Alert: CFRA Upgrades Opinion On Shares Of Mcdonald's Corp To Buy From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our target by $33 to $317, 24x our 2026 EPS estimate and in line with the shares' ten-year average forward multiple. We lower our 2026 EPS view to $13.21 from $13.44 and 2027's to $14.11 from $14.27. We upgrade MCD from Hold to Buy. Shares trade at a 12% discount to their ten-year forward average, creating an attractive entry point despite near-term margin headwinds from restaurant operating costs, particularly beef costs. We expect margin normalization as traffic gains scale and value messaging matures. Q1 results outperformed on total revenue, global comps, and adjusted EPS, with developed market comps of +3.9%, improving 490 bps sequentially, and developing markets maintaining momentum at +3.4%. In our view, results suggest value positioning is resonating globally and driving traffic recovery. MCD's category expansion into chicken and beverages provides incremental growth optionality, while >80% free cash flow conversion supports continued investment in restaurant development and shareholder returns.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold View On Shares Of Kenvue Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target price at $19, which is 16.5x our 2027 EPS view of $1.15, a discount to the trading multiple of 18.1x since going public in 2023. We think this multiple is justified given the litigation overhang and limited visibility into KVUE's standalone performance (the company is no longer providing forward-looking guidance and hosting an analyst call) due to the pending acquisition by Kimberly-Clark (KMB), expected to close during 2H 2026. We increase our 2026 EPS estimate to $1.15 from $1.10 following this morning's Q1 earnings release. We maintain our 2027 EPS estimate at $1.15. Kenvue delivered a solid first quarter that demonstrated continued operational momentum. Net sales increased to $3,909M (+4.5% Y/Y) with organic growth of 0.7%. The performance suggests management's operational initiatives are gaining traction as the company approaches the transaction close. The transaction received shareholder approval in January 2026, and regulatory approvals are progressing.
