研究快讯:CFRA维持对Centene Corporation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分析师的观点总结如下:我们将CNC的12个月目标股价上调13美元至55美元,相当于2026年每股收益预期值的16.2倍,高于CNC过去五年和十年的平均预期市盈率12.8倍和13.9倍。我们将2026年每股收益预期从3.00美元上调至3.40美元,而2027年预期值则下调0.02美元至4.01美元。受第一季度每股收益超预期和业绩指引上调的提振,CNC股价大幅上涨。其中,健康福利占比从去年同期的87.5%小幅提升至87.3%,尤为引人注目。业绩增长得益于流感/呼吸道疾病季的温和形势,但持续推高医疗成本的因素依然存在,例如行为健康服务利用率和高价处方药用量。作为全美最大的医疗补助保险公司,尽管我们认为《俄亥俄州预算平衡法案》(OBBBA)给会员和资金带来了挑战,但CNC仍保持着乐观的前景。管理层指出,内布拉斯加州即将实施的新的医疗补助工作要求,对于其他州可能受到的影响而言,是一个值得研究的案例。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Kimberly-clark Corp

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 by $6 to $104, 14x our 2026 EPS estimate (from 16x), a discount to its 19x five-year average forward multiple, reflecting integration risks stemming from the acquisition of Kenvue Inc. (KVUE 17 ***). We lower our 2026 EPS estimate to $7.45 from $7.56 and keep 2027's at $6.31. Following Q1 results, we maintain our Hold rating, reflecting a balanced assessment of operational momentum, with adjusted EPS of $1.97 beating the $1.95 consensus estimate, against a conservative full-year outlook. Management maintained organic sales growth guidance despite the Q1 beat, disappointing investors that expected an upward revision. Operating margin contracted 60 bps as higher operational and raw material costs offset productivity gains. Additionally, the KVUE acquisition introduces integration risks, having received shareholder approval but still pending regulatory approval. At current levels, we see balanced risk/reward and would become more constructive if management raised guidance.
