フォード・モーターのUEVプラットフォームがEV損失削減の鍵となる、とUBSが施設視察後に発言

By

-- UBSは水曜日のレポートで、フォード・モーター(F)がロングビーチ開発センターで開発した新型ユニバーサル・エレクトリック・ビークル(UEV)プラットフォームを、EV事業の損失削減に向けた重要な取り組みとして位置付けていると述べた。 UBSのアナリストは、先進開発プロジェクト担当副社長のアラン・クラーク氏とともに、カリフォルニア州にある同センターを訪問した。同社が外部の訪問者にセンターを公開したのは今回が初めてで、経営陣は、従来の自動車メーカーというよりも、スピード、俊敏性、革新性、効率性を重視するEVスタートアップ企業のような運営形態だと説明したという。 アナリストらは、同センターはフォードのUEVプラットフォームの中核を担っており、年間40億ドルを超えるモデルE EV事業の損失削減に不可欠であり、損益分岐点に達すれば収益を約40%改善できる可能性があると指摘した。また、今後の課題として、生産規模と自動化の拡大、需要に合わせた製品投入時期の調整、そしてフォードの事業全体への知見の共有などを挙げた。 「我々の見解では、フォードの中核事業とは完全に切り離された形で構築されてきた、そこで培われた企業文化とプロセスは、同様に重要です。その文化と能力をフォードの他の事業に拡大していくことは重要ですが、同時に緊張関係を生む可能性もあります」とアナリストは述べています。 UBSはフォード・モーター株を「買い」と評価し、目標株価を14ドルとしています。

Research Alert: Run Posts Strong Margins, But Cash Burn Disappointed

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:RUN reported Q1 sales of $722M (+43% Y/Y), beating consensus estimates of ~$639M, though we view this as largely an accounting presentation issue rather than fundamental business acceleration. Operational metrics show significant volume declines with storage capacity installed (282 MWh, -15% Y/Y), solar capacity (154 MW, -19% Y/Y), and subscriber additions (17,665, -25% Y/Y) all declining. We view RUN's storage-first positioning as strategic for long-term distributed energy opportunities, with storage attachment rate reaching a record 73% (+400 bps Y/Y), though monetization remains in early innings. Management maintained 2026 cash generation guidance of $250M-$450M despite Q1 cash burn of $59M (vs. +$56M in Q1 2025). We view the improvement in net subscriber value to $11,892 (+14% Y/Y) as encouraging, driven by larger system sizes and lower cost of capital, but broader industry headwinds are playing an increasingly significant role.

Research Alert: Ftnt Surpassed Expectations On Product Revenue Outperformance; Raises Outlook

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:FTNT delivered exceptional Q1 2026 results with revenue of $1.85B beating consensus by $120M and non-GAAP EPS of $0.82 exceeding estimates by $0.20. Product revenue accelerated to $645M (+40.5% Y/Y) significantly outpacing service revenue growth of 11%, while billings surged 30.5% to $2.09B. The robust appliance demand suggests active security infrastructure refreshes, though we highlight potential pulled-forward demand amid supply chain challenges and higher memory prices. Operating leverage remained strong with non-GAAP operating margin expanding 160 bps to 36%, while record cash generation of $1.08B in operating cash flow underscores the business model's strength. We expect the SASE evolution and "SASE Firewall" convergence to serve as key differentiators in the competitive landscape. Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $7.71B-$7.87B from $7.50B-$7.70B, above consensus of $7.6B, and lifted EPS guidance to $3.10-$3.16 from $2.94-$3.00, beating Street forecasts of $3.00.
