-- 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：XYL第一季度业绩喜忧参半，每股收益1.12美元，较预期高出0.04美元，主要得益于运营执行力的提升，但订单量同比持平。营收21亿美元，有机增长与去年同期持平，其中强劲的测量与控制（M&C）业务销售额（增长15%）被水处理解决方案业务的下滑（下降15%）所抵消。我们认为业绩超预期主要归功于利润率的提升以及转型举措带来的运营改善，调整后EBITDA利润率提升20个基点至20.6%。管理层将全年营收预期从91亿至92亿美元上调至92亿至93亿美元，同时维持每股收益预期在5.35至5.60美元不变。各业务板块业绩表现不一，测量与控制业务凭借强劲的智能水处理技术需求，订单量增长18%，成为增长引擎；而水处理解决方案业务的订单量则因时间因素下降12%。我们认为，尽管面临通胀压力，XYL 的 80/20 简化策略仍能继续支撑其盈利能力，但我们认为维持不变的每股收益预期表明，公司缺乏信心，认为更高的销售额将转化为更高的利润率。

Research Alert: Visa Mar-q: A Blowout Quarter As Consumer Spending Accelerates
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Visa posted excellent Mar-Q results with adj. EPS of $3.31 vs. $2.76 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.21. Revenue of $11.2B rose 17% Y/Y, beating consensus by 4% and marking the strongest growth since 2022. We view this as an excellent result, as concerns surrounding AI disruption or geopolitical uncertainty did not manifest in Visa's performance. Adjusted operating margin held firm at 68.0%, a good result given prior guidance indicated likely margin compression. Strong performance was broad based with data processing revenue up 18% to $5.5B and other revenue surging 41% to $1.3B, reflecting successful expansion in value-added services. Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe advanced 11% on a constant currency (CC) basis while payments volume grew 9%. Geographic strength was led by LAC (+14% CC), CEMEA (+13% CC), and Europe (+11% CC), with encouraging acceleration in the U.S. to 8%. We applaud the board's authorization of a new $20B multi-year share repurchase program given Visa's muted valuation.
