百事公司第一財季業績超乎預期;維持全年業績展望

-- 百事公司 (PEP) 週四公佈了超出預期的2020財年第一季業績,這主要得益於其推出的多項提升產品價格的舉措。這家飲料和零食公司同時重申了全年業績展望。 截至3月21日的第一季,經調整後的每股盈餘為1.61美元,高於去年同期的1.48美元,也高於FactSet調查的1.54美元的預期。營收成長8.5%至194.4億美元,超過了華爾街預期的189.5億美元。該股在最近的盤前交易中上漲了1.1%。 執行長拉蒙·拉瓜爾塔在一份聲明中表示:“我們對第一季度的業績感到滿意,淨營收和內生營收的增長均有所加速。包括重塑全球知名品牌、開展創新活動以及實施一系列提升產品價格的舉措在內的廣泛商業計劃正在順利執行,業務表現也得到了改善。” 今年2月,百事公司宣布計畫將旗下多個零食品牌的價格下調至多15%,其中包括樂事洋芋片、多力多滋和奇多。此前,該公司在去年12月表示,在與激進投資者艾利奧特投資管理公司(Elliott Investment Management)進行諮詢後,正尋求降低美國市場部分產品的價格並停產,以促進有機收入成長。 該公司持續預測,2026財年核心每股收益將成長5%至7%,營收成長4%至6%。同時,該公司重申了其有機收入成長2%至4%的預期。華爾街預估該公司2026財年非GAAP每股收益為8.60美元,銷售額為984.5億美元。 財務長史蒂夫·施密特(Steve Schmitt)在公司網站上發布的聲明中表示:“展望未來,由於持續不斷的地緣政治衝突,宏觀經濟環境變得更加動盪和不確定。” “針對市場交易商品的系統性商品套期保值計劃預計將為某些投入成本提供一定的短期保護和可視性。” 第一季度,整體淨定價對營收產生了2%的正面影響,而合併有機銷售則持平。便利食品業務銷售成長4%,飲料業務銷售量維持不變。 百事公司北美食品業務(包括菲多利和桂格食品)成長2%至63.3億美元。北美飲料業務銷售額從58.8億美元增加至63.9億美元。國際飲料業務收入成長9%至8.24億美元。 「我們對國際業務的韌性感到鼓舞,同時北美業務在第一季也繼續取得進展,」拉瓜爾塔表示。 “我們的目標是成功執行商業計劃,並嚴格控製成本,以資助投資,加速成長。”

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.
