研究警告:CFRA維持對Verisign公司的「賣出」評等。

-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點總結如下:我們將VRSN的目標股價從199美元上調至222美元,基於2027年每股收益預期,市盈率為22倍,低於VRSN過去三年和五年的平均市盈率26倍至29倍,這反映了我們對結構性利潤率壓力和定價靈活性有限的預期。由於域名基數成長動能優於預期以及價格上漲,我們將2026年每股收益預期從9.48美元上調至9.62美元,並將2027年每股收益預期從9.91美元上調至10.10美元。我們預計,VRSN的域名基數將受益於人工智慧驅動的網站創建工具使線上業務更加普及,以及該公司註冊局壟斷地位的持續鞏固。然而,鑑於人工智慧引發的伺服器和記憶體組件價格上漲導致資本支出大幅增加,我們對該股票仍持謹慎態度。同時,ICANN的年度價格上限限制了該公司完全抵銷成本上漲的能力。這種結構性錯配,加上2026年下半年將迎來大量首次續約用戶,而這些用戶的續約率約為重複續約用戶的一半,因此我們維持對該股票的「賣出」評級。

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.
