奥本海默公司称,IBM第一季度业绩有望超出预期

-- 奥本海默周四在一份报告中指出,受软件业务强劲增长以及提前完成对Confluent的收购的提振,IBM(IBM)第一季度业绩可能超出华尔街预期,并上调营收预期。 该券商将IBM第一季度营收预期从156亿美元上调至157亿美元,并将每股收益预期从1.77美元下调至1.70美元。 报告称,IBM软件业务在企业许可协议续签时价格上涨。开放式混合云技术公司Red Hat的合同价值在续签时上涨了10%至15%。 包括Param Singh在内的奥本海默分析师预计,IBM将全年营收预期上调一个百分点,按固定汇率计算增长超过6%,这得益于提前完成对Confluent的收购。 IBM于今年3月完成了对数据流平台Confluent的收购。 IBM首席执行官辛格表示,受工程许可协议(ELA)价格上涨和合同规模扩大的推动,IBM的软件产品组合(不包括Confluent、HashiCorp和Red Hat)预计在2026年增长7%。 报告指出,IBM的咨询业务预计在2026年增长2.1%(不计汇率波动),而其咨询竞争对手埃森哲(ACN)近期给出的全年营收增长预期为3%至5%。IBM可能面临美国国土安全部自2月14日起停摆带来的压力。 此次停摆是由于国会与唐纳德·特朗普总统在移民和海关改革问题上陷入僵局所致。 奥本海默将IBM股票的目标价从380美元下调至320美元,理由是“近期市场估值倍数有所下降”。该券商维持了对IBM的“跑赢大盘”评级。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.

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 to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.
