奧本海默公司稱,IBM第一季業績有望超出預期

-- 奧本海默週四在一份報告中指出,受軟體業務強勁成長以及提前完成對Confluent的收購的提振,IBM(IBM)第一季度業績可能超出華爾街預期,並上調營收預期。 該券商將IBM第一季營收預期從156億美元上調至157億美元,並將每股盈餘預期從1.77美元下調至1.70美元。 報告稱,IBM軟體業務在企業授權協議續約時價格上漲。開放式混合雲端技術公司Red Hat的合約價值在續約時上漲了10%至15%。 包括Param Singh在內的奧本海默分析師預計,IBM將全年營收預期上調一個百分點,以固定匯率計算成長超過6%,這得益於提前完成對Confluent的收購。 IBM於今年3月完成了對資料流平台Confluent的收購。 IBM執行長辛格表示,受工程授權協議(ELA)價格上漲和合約規模擴大的推動,IBM的軟體產品組合(不包括Confluent、HashiCorp和Red Hat)預計2026年成長7%。 報告指出,IBM的顧問業務預計在2026年成長2.1%(不計匯率波動),而其諮詢競爭對手埃森哲(ACN)近期給出的全年營收成長預期為3%至5%。 IBM可能面臨美國國土安全部自2月14日起停擺帶來的壓力。 此次停擺是由於國會與唐納德·特朗普總統在移民和海關改革問題上陷入僵局所致。 奧本海默將IBM股票的目標價從380美元下調至320美元,理由是「近期市場估值倍數有所下降」。該券商維持了對IBM的「跑贏大盤」評級。
