-- 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BEN股票（目前股息收益率為4.5%）的12個月目標價上調2美元至31美元，基於我們對2026財年（截至9月）調整後每股收益2.80美元（上調0.23美元）的11倍市盈率，以及對20277年每股收益2.95美元（市盈率50.515美元）的資本上調15.515美元（市盈率5.1515美元）。我們的目標本益比高於BEN過去一年的平均遠期本益比10倍，以及同業平均本益比16倍。 BEN公佈的3月季度調整後每股收益為0.71美元，高於去年同期的0.47美元，高於市場普遍預期的0.55美元和我們先前預測的0.56美元。營業收入較去年同期成長9%，超過我們先前5%-8%的成長預期，其中投資管理費成長9%。由於費用成長受到控制，營業利益率從6.9%提升至14.1%。我們目前預計2026年和2027年營收成長率為6%至10%。考慮到第一季業績的改善以及西部資產管理部門持續存在的法律問題，我們認為該股目前的估值相對於歷史平均較為合理，值得持有。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Fair Isaac Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our target price of $1,219, applying 26x our FY 27 (Sep.) EPS estimate, with the compressed multiple reflecting regulatory uncertainty following the FHFA's decision allowing VantageScore in conforming mortgages, introducing the first meaningful competition to FICO's long-standing monopoly. Our EPS estimates are $41.08 for FY 26 (up from $38.48) and $46.90 in FY 27. We maintain our Hold rating while awaiting greater clarity on competitive dynamics and adoption trends for FICO's Mortgage Direct licensing program, with lender uptake remaining uncertain and management's dismissal of competitive threats contrasting with defensive pricing actions. While the company continues demonstrating strong near-term performance and aggressive capital returns through share repurchases, the regulatory landscape has fundamentally shifted in ways that warrant caution. FICO's Platform software momentum, expanding operating leverage, and switching costs offer enough upside to balance the recent industry changes.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Cincinnati Financial Corp.
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 by $7 to $185, valuing CINF shares (currently yielding 2%) at 20x our 2027 operating EPS estimate of $9.15 (raised by $0.10) and at 21.5x our 2026 EPS estimate of $8.60 (raised by $0.10), versus its five-year average forward multiple of 21x and peer average. CINF posted Q1 operating EPS of $2.10 versus a $0.24 operating loss per share a year ago, matching our estimate and topping the $1.94 consensus view, amid 12% higher operating revenues due to 11% premium growth and 14% higher net investment income, with written premium growth of 7% likely at the upper end of peer averages. We believe CINF's competitive strengths include its facile underwriting style and ability to allocate underwriting capital to areas with the most promising fundamentals, positioning it well despite increasingly competitive market conditions. CINF's ability to consistently produce above-peer growth and underwriting profitability will support the shares' premium valuation versus peers, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Linde Plc
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target by $48 to $537, using a P/E of 27.1x, equal to LIN's average forward P/E over the last three years. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.05 to $18.03 and 2027 by $0.26 to $19.81. LIN reported Q1 adj. EPS of $4.33, beating consensus by $0.06, with 30% operating margins and 24% ROC demonstrating the resilience of its business model. Management raised the low end of full-year guidance to $17.60-$17.90 (7%-9% growth), citing confidence despite geopolitical headwinds. The $7.1B project backlog should reach $8B+ by year-end, driven by Electronics projects supporting AI chip manufacturing. Americas volumes grew 2% Y/Y with double-digit hardgoods growth, though EMEA remains challenged by weak industrial activity. Commercial space is emerging as a significant growth driver, with aerospace sales up double-digits. Helium supply tightness presents upside opportunity beyond guidance. We think shares are fully valued at 25.6x our 2027 EPS estimate, limiting upside potential in the near term.
