-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下：默克公司公佈2026年第一季銷售額為163億美元，年增5%，超出市場預期4.4億美元，主要得益於製藥業務年增5%至143億美元以及動物保健業務的強勁表現（年增13%至18億美元）。 2026年第一季非GAAP每股虧損1.28美元，而2025年第一季預期每股獲利2.22美元，但仍超出市場預期0.19美元，這主要反映了90億美元（每股3.62美元）的Cidara收購費用。我們認為，持續的商業成長動能將支持默克公司的策略轉型。其中，KEYTRUDA在廣泛適應症領域實現了80億美元的銷售額（同比增長12%），而WINREVAIR的收入幾乎翻了一番，達到5.25億美元，這得益於其在美國市場的加速增長和國際市場的擴張。管理階層將2026年的銷售額預期從655億至670億美元上調至658億至670億美元，並將非GAAP每股收益預期從5.00至5.15美元上調至5.04至5.16美元（含匯率收益）。我們認為，即將完成的以67億美元收購Terns的交易將透過TERN-701進一步增強默克公司的血液學產品線，這體現了公司在產品組合多元化策略中持續推進外部創新舉措。

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Firstenergy Corp.
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 by $1 to $55, 20.0x our next-12-month EPS view of $2.75, a premium to its five-year average of 15.6x. We reduce our 2026 EPS view by $0.02 to $2.72 and 2027 EPS by $0.01 to $2.93. The Q1 core EPS increase (+7.5% Y/Y) breaks a three-quarter streak of declines, and we see continued momentum throughout our forecast horizon. We see positive data center demand trends, with long-term contracted demand (4.3 GW) up 4% since February 2026 (4.1 GW) and up 47% since February 2025 (2.9 GW), while pipeline demand (14.9 GW) is up 15% since February 2026 (12.9 GW) and has more than doubled since February 2025 (6.1 GW). FE has reduced base O&M by over $200M (15%) since 2022, with Q1 2026 showing an additional ~5% YoY decline, while simultaneously improving reliability metrics. We think FE's cost discipline, service quality improvement, and competitive rate positioning should translate into more favorable rate case outcomes, reduced disallowance risk, and potentially higher allowed ROEs.
