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:我们将目标价下调11美元至169美元,原因是风险溢价收窄,且预期市盈率(P/FFO)为14.8倍(基于我们核心FFO的预期),低于多户住宅REIT平均水平15.4倍。我们更为保守的市盈率反映了租金收入和FFO均呈温和增长。鉴于业绩指引大幅下调,我们将2026年和2027年的FFO预期分别下调0.15美元至11.25美元和0.05美元至11.70美元,我们预计2026年和2027年的收入分别为31亿美元和32亿美元。该信托基金预计2026年第二季度FFO为每股2.77美元,同店住宅收入增长0.2%,住宅运营支出增长0.4%。这意味着现金净营业收入(NOI)将低于预期,为-0.7%至+1.3%,低于我们此前对2026年的预测。AVB预计东北部主要市场的运营成本将上升。管理层预计,2026年将交付9,018套公寓住宅中的8,673套。用于投资活动的资金计划用于建造2,394套住宅,并由5.75亿美元的无担保信贷额度提供支持。AVB股票目前的股息收益率为4.1%。

Strong Fuel Margins Support C-Store Operators in Q1, RBC Capital Markets Says

Resilient fuel margins and steady consumer demand have supported convenience store or C-store operators, who are expected to post a solid Q1, RBC Capital Markets analysts said in a note on Monday.The firm maintained a positive outlook on the sector despite rising fuel prices, geopolitical tensions linked to the Iran conflict, and increasingly value-conscious consumer behavior."Relative strength in gas margins, long-term track record of demand stability, and sustained momentum from CQ4 [calendar quarter 4] continuing into CQ1 are supportive of our constructive view of the sector despite the backdrop of heightened geopolitical risk, elevated crude prices related to the Iran conflict, and ongoing value-oriented consumer spending," analysts said.Analysts said that historically, volatility in oil and fuel prices has presented an opportunity for more sophisticated operators to extend a premium over industry-average gas margins, with fuel margins improving consistently over the past decade."Despite recent spike in gas prices, retail pricing remains at/around 2023/2024 peaks, and well below peak levels immediately post Russia invasion of Ukraine," analysts said.Gas demand, however, continues to fall below pre-Covid levels, with analysts attributing crude price volatility post the Iran conflict to fuel incremental pressure on volumes."Fuel demand continues to track below pre-pandemic levels, reflecting structural shifts in lifestyle and commuting patterns, higher cost of living, and more recently, demand elasticity from geopolitical-driven spike in gas prices," analysts said.RBC forecasts Q1 US fuel margins of 45.75 cents per gallon for Alimentation Couche-Tard, a premium of about 8 cents/gal over the industry quarter-to-date average. Analysts said the forecast is above the high end of the range of prior premiums over the past eight quarters, which ranged from 3 cents/gal to 6 cents/gal, reflecting significant fuel price volatility amid the geopolitical backdrop.For Casey's (CASY), RBC forecasts margins of 39 cents/gal, while Murphy USA (MUSA) is expected to post retail and all-in margins of 24.5 cents/gal and 32.7 cents/gal, respectively.

Research Alert: Arch Capital Produces Improved Q1 Underwriting Profits Amid A Tough Market

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ACGL posted Q1 operating EPS of $2.50 vs. $1.54 prior year, beating the $2.46 consensus but missing our $2.62 estimate. Operating revenues declined 1.3% Y/Y, significantly below our 8%-15% growth forecast, reflecting 4.8% lower earned premiums partly offset by 8% higher investment income. We view ACGL as a top-tier underwriter with superior underwriting capabilities, maintaining strong profitability metrics despite competitive headwinds. We expect significant questions on the April 29 call regarding written premium shortfalls, as net written premiums declined 3.7% Y/Y. Underlying underwriting results remained superior to industry averages, with the combined ratio at 82.3% vs. 81.0% prior year, about 5-10 points better than industry. While the lack of meaningful top-line growth is concerning, we believe ACGL shares remain undervalued vs. peer and historical averages given the company's superior underwriting track record and profitability metrics.

Research Alert: Stx Easily Beats Expectations On Ai Strength; Nearly Sold Out Through Cy 2027

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Q3 results exceeded expectations with revenue of $3.11B (+44% Y/Y) beating consensus of $2.96B and non-GAAP EPS of $4.10 (+116% Y/Y) crushing expectations for $3.50. STX's outlook was even more impressive, with Q4 guidance midpoints of $3.45B in revenue and $5.00 in EPS beating by 9% and 26%, respectively. Gross margin of 47.0% (+1,080 bps Y/Y) and operating margin of 37.5% (+1,400 bps) demonstrate impressive pricing power and a rising HAMR mix, while FCF of $953M exceeded expectations for $762M and roughly quadrupled Y/Y, helping net leverage decline to 0.7x from 1.1x last quarter. Perhaps most important, nearline capacity (90% of exabytes shipped in Q3) is now nearly sold out through CY 2027, with customer discussions extending into 2028, a significant extension from Q2's update (sold out through CY 2026). Data center revenue of $2.5B accelerated to 55% Y/Y growth, and we see a long runway as AI inferencing elevates demand for high-capacity nearline drives, with Mozaic 4+ (44TB per drive) leading the way.
