モルガン・スタンレーによると、タコベルの好調が続く中、ヤム・ブランズの認知度は向上する見込み。

By

-- モルガン・スタンレーは金曜日のレポートで、タコベルの好調、KFCの堅調な業績、新規出店数の増加、ピザハットの戦略的選択肢の検討などにより、ヤム・ブランズ(YUM)の見通しが改善していると述べ、業績予想を若干上方修正した。 タコベルは引き続き主力事業であり、既存店売上高は8%増と、前年同期比の厳しい比較にもかかわらず需要が継続していることを示している。特に、同社が「ライブ・マス・カフェ」ドリンクの販売店舗を拡大すれば、飲料事業の成長がさらに追い風となる可能性があると、モルガン・スタンレーは指摘した。 モルガン・スタンレーによると、KFCは海外事業の勢いと「クウェンチ」プラットフォームを通じた新たな飲料事業に支えられ、概ね順調に推移している。一方、ピザハットは米国市場で依然として低迷しているものの、既存店売上高が横ばいだったことは予想を上回る結果であり、戦略的見直しは年末までに完了する見込みだ。 レポートによると、KFCの新規出店と予想を下回るピザハットの閉店数に支えられ、店舗数は同社の長期目標に近づいている。 モルガン・スタンレーは、同銘柄に対する投資判断を「イコールウェイト」に据え置き、若干の業績予想上方修正を反映させつつ、目標株価を176ドルから180ドルに引き上げた。ただし、利益率の低下圧力やマクロ経済の不確実性も指摘している。

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%
