-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向發布了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師總結如下：我們將IBM的目標股價下調37美元至296美元，市盈率為23倍（基於2026年預期每股收益），高於IBM三年平均市盈率（約20倍），主要受人工智能利好因素和軟體業務增長的推動。我們將2026年預期每股盈餘調高0.07美元至12.86美元，並將2027年預期每股盈餘上調0.03美元至13.90美元。第一季業績對人工智慧競爭威脅的反應喜憂參半。空頭將專注於軟體業務（不計匯率影響）成長率從第四季的11%放緩至8%，儘管Confluent的收購提前完成（為軟體業務成長帶來約50個基點的提振），但該業務板塊2026年的預期成長速度僅略微從10%提升至10%以上。 一些分析師對諮詢業務的預期更高，並指出其1%的銷售成長較為溫和，這表明新興人工智慧工具給COBOL現代化帶來了壓力。我們則持較樂觀的態度，認為諮詢業務的業績具有韌性，儘管宏觀經濟持續承壓，但銷售額和簽約量均保持增長，預計2026年增長率仍將接近5%。軟體方面，年度經常性收入（ARR）再次年增10%（與前期持平），紅帽業務也令人鼓舞地從第四季的8%反彈至10%。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
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 to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.
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 price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.
