-- スティフェル・カナダは、NFIグループ（NFI.TO）の目標株価を、5月7日に発表される第1四半期決算を前に、23.00ドルから25.50ドルに引き上げた。 アナリストのダリル・ヤング氏は、同社株の買い推奨を維持しており、調整後EBITDAを前年同期比27%増の7,960万米ドルと予測しているが、市場予想の8,180万米ドルを約3%下回るとしている。 ヤング氏は、NFIがサプライチェーンとバッテリーリコール問題の最悪期を乗り越えたように見えることから、2026年には業績が安定すると楽観視している。バランスシートとキャッシュフローは、昨年末に発表されたXALT訴訟の和解によっても支えられている。 ヤング氏はまた、NFIはセクション232関税の影響を「比較的」受けにくいと考えている。米国に輸入されるすべてのコーチおよびバス／シェルに適用される10%の基本関税は変更されておらず、NFIの現在の業績見通しにも反映されています。 「当社としては、株価は依然として魅力的な水準にあると考えていますが、近年の数々の困難を受けて投資家が依然として不安を抱えていることは認識しています。そのため、株価に織り込まれている水準を判断するのは通常よりも困難です。とはいえ、NFIが2019年以来初めて生産が途切れることなく継続する年を迎えると楽観視しています。」

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Conocophillips

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target price of $128, raised $11, reflects a combination of relative valuation and DCF model analyses. On a relative basis, we apply a 5.5x multiple of enterprise value to projected 2027 EBITDA, about in line with COP's historical forward average. This approach yields a value of $100 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, applying medium-term free cash flow growth of 5%, terminal value of 2.5%, discounted at a WACC of 6.1%, yields intrinsic value of $156 per share. We lift our 2026 EPS estimate by $3.40 to $8.51 and 2027's by $0.14 to $7.31. COP should benefit in the near term from the rise in crude oil prices, although we see more risk in 2027 given the potential for a 2026 price spike to weigh on the global economy. The Willow project in Alaska is still on track for first oil in 2029, and could be coming at a welcome time.
