モルガン・スタンレーは、アルトリアは構造的な逆風にもかかわらず堅調な利益成長を示していると述べている。

-- モルガン・スタンレーは金曜日のレポートで、アルトリア(MO)は堅調な利益成長と、二重課税による収益減少からの見通しの明確化を示したものの、構造的な逆風は依然として続いていると指摘した。 レポートによると、同社は第1四半期のEPSが「堅調」で市場予想を上回り、2026年通期の業績見通しを改めて表明した。また、今後のリスク・リターン・プロファイルはバランスが取れていると付け加えた。 レポートは、「株価の上昇余地は限られている」とし、アンハイザー・ブッシュ・インベブへの出資による堅調な財務柔軟性、56億ドルの資本損失、そして約6%の配当利回りを背景に、最近の株価上昇を指摘した。 さらに、レポートは、リスクの低いポートフォリオが限定的であるため、中期的に同社の業績に大きな影響を与える可能性は低いとしている。 また、レポートは、イラン紛争勃発以降、ガソリン価格の上昇がタバコ消費者の行動に影響を与えていないと指摘。消費支出は現在、税還付金の増加によって支えられているとしている。 モルガン・スタンレーは、同銘柄の目標株価を62ドルから71ドルに引き上げ、投資判断は「イコールウェイト」を維持した。

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%
