研究快訊:CFRA 將 First Solar, Inc. 的評級從「持有」上調至「買入」。

By

-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下:我們將目標股價從245美元上調至307美元,2027年每股盈餘預期本益比為14倍,低於先前預期的15倍,也低於過去三年和五年約16倍的歷史平均水準。這項調整反映了我們對2026年7月「開工」截止日期、持續的國際設施利用率不足以及電價波動的謹慎態度。鑑於第一季業績表現優異,我們將2026年每股收益預期從16.35美元上調至16.52美元;同時,鑑於電價波動持續以及更為保守的展望,我們將2027年每股收益預期從22.55美元下調至21.97美元。基於創紀錄的第一季業績、印度市場的出色表現、利潤率的改善、2030年之前的收入可見度以及人工智慧驅動的電力需求利好因素,我們將評級上調至「買入」。儘管我們下調了本益比和2027年每股盈餘預期,但我們認為目前的估值仍是一個頗具吸引力的買點。 FSLR在美國市場的領先地位和差異化技術與國內日益重視能源政策的趨勢高度契合,有利的政策結果可望帶來顯著的上漲空間。

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.
