研究快讯:CFRA维持对IBM公司股票的买入评级

-- 独立研究机构CFRA向发布了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师总结如下:我们将IBM的目标股价下调37美元至296美元,市盈率为23倍(基于2026年预期每股收益),高于IBM三年平均市盈率(约20倍),主要受人工智能利好因素和软件业务增长的推动。我们将2026年预期每股收益上调0.07美元至12.86美元,并将2027年预期每股收益上调0.03美元至13.90美元。第一季度业绩对人工智能竞争威胁的反应喜忧参半。空头将关注软件业务(不计汇率影响)增速从第四季度的11%放缓至8%,尽管Confluent的收购提前完成(为软件业务增长带来约50个基点的提振),但该业务板块2026年的预期增速仅略微从10%提升至10%以上。 一些分析师对咨询业务的预期更高,并指出其1%的销售增长较为温和,这表明新兴人工智能工具给COBOL现代化带来了压力。我们则持更为乐观的态度,认为咨询业务的业绩具有韧性,尽管宏观经济持续承压,但销售额和签约量均保持增长,预计2026年增长率仍将接近5%。软件方面,年度经常性收入(ARR)再次同比增长10%(与前期持平),红帽业务也令人鼓舞地从第四季度的8%反弹至10%。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $8 to $155, valuing HIG shares at 11.3x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $13.75 (cut by $0.45) and at 10.6x our 2027 EPS estimate of $14.65 (cut by $0.30), vs. the shares' one-year average forward multiple of 10.3x and peer average of 13x. Q1 EPS of $3.09 vs. $2.20 a year ago missed our $3.60 estimate and $3.39 consensus view. Operating revenue growth of 6.2% was in line with our 6%-10% forecast, amid 5.3% earned premium growth, 13% higher net investment income, and 7.9% fee revenue growth. Q1 written premium growth of 4% and full-year 2025 growth of 7% bode well for 2026 revenue trends as premiums are earned. Underwriting results improved significantly, with Personal Lines combined ratio improving to 87.7% from 106.1% and underlying combined ratio to 85.0% from 89.7%. Business Insurance combined ratio was stable at 94.8%. Weighing the Q1 EPS miss with HIG's decent top-line growth and discounted valuation to peers, we view the shares as undervalued.
