研究快讯:林肯国民公司第一季度业绩反映扭亏为盈的进展

By

-- 独立研究机构CFRA向提供了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师总结如下:LNC第一季度运营每股收益为1.66美元,高于预期的1.60美元,高于市场普遍预期的1.58美元,但低于我们此前预测的2.08美元。运营收入增长3.4%,主要得益于投资收益增长9.8%;保费收入略有下降,手续费收入持平。人寿保险业务扭亏为盈,实现4100万美元的运营利润,而去年同期亏损1600万美元,这主要得益于投资收益的提高、成本的降低以及死亡率趋势的改善。尽管年金销售额增长了4%,但利润率却有所下降,净流出资金从17亿美元扩大至22亿美元。团体保障业务利润增长11%,主要得益于理赔情况的改善;退休计划服务业务收益飙升26%,主要得益于净流入资金的增加。我们认可LNC在运营方面取得的进展,但我们认为,该公司仍高度依赖股票市场波动,且缺乏足够的增长潜力来抵消这种风险。LNC股票的贝塔系数为1.2,在人寿保险同业公司中属于较高水平。
