研究快讯:CFRA维持对Brown & Brown, Inc.股票的持有评级。

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:我们将BRO的12个月目标价从80美元下调至70美元,市盈率分别为16倍(基于我们2026年每股收益预期4.50美元)和15倍(基于我们2027年每股收益预期4.75美元,今日下调40.20倍),低于该股20倍的一年期平均远期市盈率,也低于同业平均远期市盈率16倍。BRO公布的第一季度每股收益为1.39美元(去年同期为1.29美元),高于我们1.37美元的预期和1.36美元的市场普遍预期。尽管营收增长35%至19亿美元主要得益于收购,其中4.35亿美元来自并购交易。有机营收同比持平于13.5亿美元,低于我们此前4%至8%的增长预期。同时,由于收购成本和利息支出翻番,第一季度息税前利润率从30.4%收窄至28.0%。鉴于有机增长率低于同行,且利润率收窄,我们认为该股近期缺乏上涨催化剂,这削弱了BRO此前享有的溢价估值的合理性。管理层还将业务环境描述为“充满挑战”,与上季度“稳定”的评估有所不同。我们维持“持有”评级。
