-- 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：MLM公司2026年第一季營收創歷史新高，達13.62億美元（年成長17%），調整後每股盈餘為1.93美元（年成長14%），調整後EBITDA成長14%至3.64億美元，但其獲利能力反映了投資組合優化指標的複雜性。骨材出貨量達到創紀錄的4,390萬噸（年增12%），但由於收購費用和通貨膨脹，每噸毛利下降14%至6.56美元。我們認為，2月完成的QUIKRETE資產交換以及專注於骨材業務的策略是明智之舉，因為與水泥和預拌混凝土相比，骨材具有更強的定價權。管理層重申了2026年全年業績指引，調整後EBITDA中位數為24.3億美元。我們認為實現這一目標存在執行風險，該目標要求第二季至第四季的調整後 EBITDA 平均達到每季 6.89 億美元（較 2025 年成長 5.9%）。令人擔憂的是，營收成長 17%，而營業利潤卻下降了 9%，這與預期經營槓桿效應背離。

Brinker's Guidance Appears Achievable, Led by Chili's Chicken Sandwich Launch, UBS Says
Brinker International's (EAT) top end of full-year 2026 guidance seems achievable with a strong Chili's chicken sandwich launch and continued traction across sales initiatives, UBS Securities said in a note Thursday.The brokerage expects mid-single-digit same-store-sales growth and positive traffic at Chili's as reachable in fiscal Q4, with momentum likely continuing in fiscal 2027, driven by contribution from everyday value, marketing, menu enhancements, operational improvements, and remodel benefits over time, according to the note.Additional future catalysts for Brinker include accelerating unit growth, an eventual Maggiano's turnaround, strong balance sheet, and share repurchases, the brokerage said.UBS maintained a buy rating on Brinker with a price target of $190.Price: $151.10, Change: $+3.30, Percent Change: +2.23%
