研究快訊:CFRA維持對Centene Corporation股票的「持有」評級

By

-- 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CNC的12個月目標股價上調13美元至55美元,相當於2026年每股收益預期值的16.2倍,高於CNC過去五年和十年的平均預期市盈率12.8倍和13.9倍。我們將2026年每股盈餘預期從3.00美元上調至3.40美元,而2027年預期值則下調0.02美元至4.01美元。受第一季每股收益超預期和業績指引上調的提振,CNC股價大幅上漲。其中,健康福利佔去年同期的87.5%小幅提升至87.3%,尤其引人注目。業績成長得益於流感/呼吸道疾病季的溫和情勢,但持續推高醫療成本的因素依然存在,例如行為健康服務使用率和高價處方藥用量。作為全美最大的醫療補助保險公司,儘管我們認為《俄亥俄州預算平衡法案》(OBBBA)為會員和資金帶來了挑戰,CNC仍保持著樂觀的前景。管理層指出,內布拉斯加州即將實施的新的醫療補助工作要求,對於其他州可能受到的影響而言,是一個值得研究的案例。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Kimberly-clark Corp

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target by $6 to $104, 14x our 2026 EPS estimate (from 16x), a discount to its 19x five-year average forward multiple, reflecting integration risks stemming from the acquisition of Kenvue Inc. (KVUE 17 ***). We lower our 2026 EPS estimate to $7.45 from $7.56 and keep 2027's at $6.31. Following Q1 results, we maintain our Hold rating, reflecting a balanced assessment of operational momentum, with adjusted EPS of $1.97 beating the $1.95 consensus estimate, against a conservative full-year outlook. Management maintained organic sales growth guidance despite the Q1 beat, disappointing investors that expected an upward revision. Operating margin contracted 60 bps as higher operational and raw material costs offset productivity gains. Additionally, the KVUE acquisition introduces integration risks, having received shareholder approval but still pending regulatory approval. At current levels, we see balanced risk/reward and would become more constructive if management raised guidance.
