-- 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IFC的评级从“持有”上调至“买入”，并将目标价从288加元上调至299加元。这一调整基于我们对IFC 2027年调整后每股收益（AEPS）21.34加元的14倍市盈率。我们将2026年AEPS预期从20.12加元下调至19.90加元。在当前股市和原油价格均处于高位的市场环境下，IFC在加拿大市场排名第一的地位以及持续低于90%的综合成本率使其更具吸引力。尽管汽油价格飙升引发了人们对保费可承受性的担忧，但财产险的低弹性使其成为一个避险资产，我们认为配置该类资产是明智之举。由于该保险业务在过去一年股价表现下跌了 15%，因此，我们认为第一季度 NOIPS 和 BVPS 增长 8%-13%，综合比率保持在 92% 以下，这些都是积极的信号。

Research Alert: L: Q1 Revenue And Eps Miss, Though Results May Not Be Comparable To Consensus
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:L's Q1 revenue of CAD14.4B (+4% Y/Y) missed consensus by CAD90M, while adjusted EPS of CAD0.49 (+9% Y/Y) fell short of CAD0.52 estimates, though we think PC Financial's presentation in discontinued operations may affect comparability. Food retail same-store sales of 2.4% accelerated from Q4's 1.5%, with drug retail posting 4.1% growth. We view the solid same-store sales momentum as encouraging, particularly given internal food inflation remained well below the 4.4% CPI, indicating L's strong value proposition. Management reiterated 2026 guidance for high single-digit EPS growth and CAD2.4B in gross capex. Store expansion accelerated with 13 net openings, including five hard discount locations, aligning with consumer preference shifts toward value formats. Strong FCF of CAD621M (+189% Y/Y) supported aggressive share repurchases of CAD648M. We believe the pending PC Financial divestiture in Q3 2026 will simplify operations and provide additional capital flexibility for core retail growth.
