-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師總結如下：EVR公佈了2026年第一季創紀錄的業績，調整後淨收入達14億美元（年增100%），超過市場普遍預期的11.7億美元，其中諮詢費收入達12.4億美元（年增123%）。調整後每股盈餘達7.53美元，高於去年同期的3.49美元（比市場普遍預期高出2.10美元），展現出卓越的營運槓桿效應。我們認為這對EVR而言是一項重大勝利，因為該公司有效利用了併購市場環境的改善，並通過執行一系列交易（包括華納兄弟探索頻道1100億美元的出售和德文能源580億美元的合併）超越了同行。該公司展現了高效率的營運能力，調整後營業利益率提升870個基點至25.3%。 EVR持續擴張人才隊伍，截至年底，其投資銀行高階管理總監（SMD）人數達182人，高於去年同期的157人，另有3名SMD將於2026年稍後加入。公司透過分紅和股票回購向股東返還了6.733億美元，同時保持了9.86億美元的現金儲備，這使其在加速發展的巨型交易週期中能夠繼續保持成長勢頭。

Research Alert: CFRA Downgrades Rating To Sell From Hold On Shares Of Essex Property Trust, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target by $15 to $250 using a narrower equity risk premium and a forward P/FFO of 15.5x, which is in line with the multifamily residential REIT average. We keep our 2026 FFO estimate at $16.15 and lower 2027's by $0.05 to $16.45 on respective revenue projections of $1.94B and $1.98B. Rental revenue is not yet rebounding to historical growth levels. Across the industry, we are seeing inflation in key operating expenses exceeding revenue growth, and this leads to modest gains in cash NOI growth Y/Y. We expect these market conditions to continue as pricing power for ESS and its peers seems to have eased. In particular, ESS has a West Coast portfolio profile that is exposed to significant job layoffs in the technology sector. In our opinion, we have not yet seen the tail risk of major announcements just released in recent weeks. ESS has the challenge of complying with strict housing guidelines in California, leading to the trust historically underperforming peers in other parts of the country.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Rating On Shares Of Biogen Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our target at $236, 13.8x our new 2027 EPS view, a discount to BIIB's five-year historical forward P/E average of 14.1x. We lower our 2026 EPS view to $15.24 from $16.14 to adjust for the impact from acquired IPR&D. We keep our 2027 EPS view at $17.16. BIIB reported a strong start to 2026, with sales of $2.5B and adjusted EPS of $3.57. We see a successful stabilization of the business after years of decline, due to a 12% Y/Y increase in the growth products portfolio. In our view, during the analyst call, management presented a clear strategic vision centered on the pending $5.6B acquisition of Apellis, expected to close in Q2, which can transform BIIB into a growth company by adding two commercial assets, Syfovre and Empaveli. We think the Apellis deal could bridge a revenue gap until 2028, when the company's late-stage pipeline matures. Via this acquisition, BIIB also gains nephrology expertise and an established infrastructure, which could set its key asset Felzartamab launch for success.
