リサーチアラート:CFRAはコグニザント・テクノロジー・ソリューションズ社の株式に対する買い推奨を維持

By

-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。当社は、目標株価を14ドル引き下げ、77ドルとしました。これは、2026年のEPS予想の13.5倍に相当し、CTSHの過去3年間の平均(約25倍)を下回っています。これは、受注高の勢いがマクロ経済の不確実性とAI競争への懸念の高まりによって相殺されているためです。2026年のEPS予想を0.06ドル引き上げ、5.72ドルとしました。また、2027年のEPS予想を0.05ドル引き上げ、6.18ドルとしました。CTSHの2026年のオーガニック売上高成長率予測は約3.8%ですが、今後数四半期にわたって大型案件が着実に増加するにつれ、この成長率が今後数年間の底値となると予想されます。受注高は引き続き好調で、第1四半期は過去12ヶ月間で11%増に加速し、大型案件の総契約額は前年同期比で70%増加しました。両結果とも、CTSHが厳しい環境下でも市場平均を上回る需要獲得能力を持っていることを示していると我々は考えています。しかしながら、AIが存亡の危機であるという弱気な見方を払拭するのはますます難しくなっており、第1四半期の結果はこの点に関してまちまちの回答を示しました。最近の買収による恩恵があったにもかかわらず、受注高は堅調だったものの、売上高の見通しは据え置かれ(5.25%増)、業績は振るいませんでした。そのため、我々は株価収益率をそれに応じて引き下げました。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Fair Isaac Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our target price of $1,219, applying 26x our FY 27 (Sep.) EPS estimate, with the compressed multiple reflecting regulatory uncertainty following the FHFA's decision allowing VantageScore in conforming mortgages, introducing the first meaningful competition to FICO's long-standing monopoly. Our EPS estimates are $41.08 for FY 26 (up from $38.48) and $46.90 in FY 27. We maintain our Hold rating while awaiting greater clarity on competitive dynamics and adoption trends for FICO's Mortgage Direct licensing program, with lender uptake remaining uncertain and management's dismissal of competitive threats contrasting with defensive pricing actions. While the company continues demonstrating strong near-term performance and aggressive capital returns through share repurchases, the regulatory landscape has fundamentally shifted in ways that warrant caution. FICO's Platform software momentum, expanding operating leverage, and switching costs offer enough upside to balance the recent industry changes.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Cincinnati Financial Corp.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price by $7 to $185, valuing CINF shares (currently yielding 2%) at 20x our 2027 operating EPS estimate of $9.15 (raised by $0.10) and at 21.5x our 2026 EPS estimate of $8.60 (raised by $0.10), versus its five-year average forward multiple of 21x and peer average. CINF posted Q1 operating EPS of $2.10 versus a $0.24 operating loss per share a year ago, matching our estimate and topping the $1.94 consensus view, amid 12% higher operating revenues due to 11% premium growth and 14% higher net investment income, with written premium growth of 7% likely at the upper end of peer averages. We believe CINF's competitive strengths include its facile underwriting style and ability to allocate underwriting capital to areas with the most promising fundamentals, positioning it well despite increasingly competitive market conditions. CINF's ability to consistently produce above-peer growth and underwriting profitability will support the shares' premium valuation versus peers, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Linde Plc

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target by $48 to $537, using a P/E of 27.1x, equal to LIN's average forward P/E over the last three years. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.05 to $18.03 and 2027 by $0.26 to $19.81. LIN reported Q1 adj. EPS of $4.33, beating consensus by $0.06, with 30% operating margins and 24% ROC demonstrating the resilience of its business model. Management raised the low end of full-year guidance to $17.60-$17.90 (7%-9% growth), citing confidence despite geopolitical headwinds. The $7.1B project backlog should reach $8B+ by year-end, driven by Electronics projects supporting AI chip manufacturing. Americas volumes grew 2% Y/Y with double-digit hardgoods growth, though EMEA remains challenged by weak industrial activity. Commercial space is emerging as a significant growth driver, with aerospace sales up double-digits. Helium supply tightness presents upside opportunity beyond guidance. We think shares are fully valued at 25.6x our 2027 EPS estimate, limiting upside potential in the near term.
