-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點總結如下：我們將PAYC的目標股價上調19美元至150美元，相當於2027年每股收益預期值的12.3倍，遠低於PAYC過去三年24.9倍的平均預期市盈率。我們將2026年每股收益預期上調0.53美元至10.73美元，並將2027年每股收益預期上調0.95美元至12.23美元。 PAYC保守的2026年業績指引（預計營收成長放緩至6%-7%）令人擔憂，因為這與公司目前的業績形成鮮明對比。 PAYC目前的強勁表現體現在其不斷擴大的調整後EBITDA利潤率（48.2%）、強勁的17%同比增長的經營現金流以及高達91%的客戶留存率，所有這些都得益於其人工智慧平台為客戶帶來的顯著投資回報率。為了彰顯這種內部信心，管理層在第一季執行了高達10.6億美元的股票回購計劃，並為此舉債6.75億美元，以利用其認為的嚴重低估。這種激進的、以債務融資為支撐的資本回報策略提高了財務槓桿，但也顯示了公司對長期價值主張的堅定信念，儘管其近期成長前景較為謹慎。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Rating On Shares Of Paycom Software, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target by $19 to $150, 12.3x our 2027 EPS estimate, significantly below PAYC's three-year historical forward P/E average of 24.9x. We lift our 2026 EPS view by $0.53 to $10.73 and 2027's EPS view by $0.95 to $12.23. PAYC conservative 2026 guidance, which projects a revenue growth slowdown to 6%-7%, is a primary concern as it contrasts sharply with the company's current performance. This strength is evidenced by an expanding 48.2% adjusted EBITDA margin, robust 17% Y/Y growth in operating cash flow, and high 91% client retention, all fueled by the demonstrable ROI its AI-powered platform delivers to clients. Underscoring this internal confidence, management executed a massive $1.06B share repurchase in Q1, taking on $675M in debt to capitalize on what it views as a significant undervaluation. This aggressive, debt-funded capital return increases financial leverage but signals a profound belief in the company's long-term value proposition, despite the cautious near-term growth outlook.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our target by $2 to $23 on a forward P/FFO of 10.9x our 2026 FFO estimate, a premium to peers and HST's three-year forward average (8.9x) due to a stronger 2026 travel outlook and recently redeveloped properties driving higher revenue per average room (RevPAR) this year. We increase our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.05 to $2.11 and leave our 2027 view unchanged at $2.15. San Francisco showed remarkable recovery boosted by the Super Bowl and accelerating business travel as resorts in Florida/Phoenix saw stronger-than-normal Q1 performance. Weather-related disruptions in Hawaii and the East Coast negative impacted RevPAR by 120 bps in Q1, while the outlook for growth in 2H 2026 implies growth slowing to 1%-2% range. Productivity improvements have helped to offset some of the 5% Y/Y growth in wages, but this cost inflation is a risk we continue to monitor. We do not currently expect any acquisitions, with management setting a high IRR bar and favoring buybacks and special dividends currently.

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Hold Opinion On Shares Of Fortis Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target is unchanged at CAD80, valuing shares at a forward P/E of 21.5x our next-12-month EPS estimate of CAD3.72, a premium to its five-year average of 19.3x. We keep our 2026 EPS estimate at CAD3.62 and raise our 2027 EPS estimate by CAD0.03 to CAD3.88. Q1 results showed continued progress on load growth opportunities, with ITC advancing data center interconnection projects and TEP securing initial contractual milestones in Arizona while pursuing additional phases. We expect revenue to grow 7.8% in 2026, followed by 5.6% growth in 2027, supported by customer rate updates at Central Hudson (effective July 2025), FortisBC Energy (effective January 2026), UNS Gas (effective March 2026), and a pending decision at TEP (expected fall 2026), alongside ongoing rate base growth. From 2025-2028, we expect EPS to grow at a 5.3% CAGR while dividends grow at 4.6%, both lagging the peer median growth rates of 7.9% and 5.2%, respectively. Shares currently yield 3.3%, slightly ahead of the peer median 3.2%.
