Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of American Water Works Company, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $1 to $139, 21.2x our 2027 EPS estimate, a discount to AWK's five-year forward average of 25.1x. We keep our 2026 EPS view at $6.09 and lift 2027 EPS by $0.08 to $6.58. The Q1 EPS miss (-7.4%) is the latest in a series of misses, with seven in the last nine quarters coming in below expectations at an average of -3.1%. Our Hold opinion reflects our moderately balanced view of risks and rewards, particularly around the WTRG merger, though regulatory approval in Kentucky provides some relief to transaction uncertainty. We think higher for longer interest rates will pressure valuations. In the FOMC's most recent meeting, three regional presidents backed the hold on rates but rejected the statement's easing bias, which we interpret as a signal that the Fed's next move may not be a rate cut. We think the acceleration of closing expectations (June 30, 2026 vs. August 2026) for the Nexus Water Group Systems will boost 2026 sales, as we now anticipate 7% Y/Y growth.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Labcorp Holdings Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target to $300 from $325, 16.6x our 2026 EPS estimate, a premium to LH's three-year historical forward average of 15.3x, supported by our favorable view for health care services, including healthy lab testing volume growth within an environment of high medical utilization, as well as attractive growth prospects given new therapies and aging demographics, in our opinion. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate to $18.03 from $17.90 and raise our 2027 estimate to $19.32 from $19.15. Q1 2026 acquisitions were $202 million, including operations from Crouse Health's Laboratory Alliance of Central New York, while management expressed confidence in the upcoming deal pipeline during the Q1 earnings conference call. Acquisitions totaled $582 million during 2025. LH anticipates a 30 bps headwind for diagnostics volumes in 2026 due to the recent expiration of ACA enhanced premium tax credits, which we expect to cause a meaningful drop in ACA exchange insurance coverage.
