調査速報:バークシャー・ハサウェイの第1四半期EPSは予想を上回ったものの、保険事業はまちまちの結果に終わった

By

-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。バークシャー・ハサウェイの2026年第1四半期営業利益(EPS)は5.26ドル(前年同期は4.47ドル)となり、当社の予想5.10ドル、市場コンセンサス予想5.05ドルを上回りました。営業収益は4.4%増加しました。税引前営業利益は2倍以上に増加し、利益率は5.6%から13%に拡大しました。ただし、GEICOの保険引受業務は悪化し、コンバインド・レシオは79.8%から87.3%に上昇しました。2025年の売上高成長率が1%未満にとどまった後、緩やかな売上高成長が再開したことは、保険事業の業績がまちまちであったにもかかわらず、投資家を安心させる要因になると考えられます。グレッグ・エイベルCEOは、就任後初の年次株主総会で、バークシャーの買収戦略と自社株買い政策を改めて表明しましたが、資本配分の事前決定については明言しませんでした。 3,800億ドルを超える現金と、2025年に自社株買いをゼロとした後の第1四半期の自社株買いがわずか2億3,500万ドルであることから、バークシャーは買収に800億~1,000億ドルを投じる可能性があると推定されます。2026年の売上高成長率予測は3~7%と据え置きますが、潤沢な現金を背景に、投資家はより積極的な資本配分を期待していたと見ています。

Research Alert: Berkshire Q1 Eps Tops Expectations, With Mixed Insurance Results

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Berkshire's Q1 2026 operating EPS of $5.26 vs $4.47 topped our $5.10 estimate and $5.05 consensus view, with operating revenues rising 4.4%. Pretax operating profits more than doubled as margins widened to 13% from 5.6%, though GEICO's underwriting results deteriorated with combined ratio rising to 87.3% from 79.8%. We believe the resumption of modest top-line growth after 2025's sub-1% revenue growth will reassure investors, despite mixed insurance performance. CEO Greg Abel reiterated Berkshire's acquisition strategy and share buyback policy at his debut annual meeting, though provided no commitment to predetermined capital allocation. With cash exceeding $380B and only $235M in Q1 buybacks after zero repurchases in 2025, we estimate Berkshire could allocate $80-100B to acquisitions. We keep our 3%-7% revenue growth forecast for 2026, though expect investors hoped for more aggressive capital deployment given the substantial cash position.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Sofi Technologies, Inc.

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 target by $4 to $18, applying a P/E of 17.8x our 2028 EPS view vs. SOFI's 71.2x three-year historical forward P/E average. We keep our 2026 EPS estimate at $0.58, 2027's at $0.81, and 2028's at $1.01. We expect robust member and product growth, fueled by key initiatives like crypto and the SoFi Plus relaunch, to support sustained double-digit revenue expansion. The relaunched SoFi Plus introduces a paid subscription to fuel cross-selling, while the crypto initiative leverages its unique, bank-issued stablecoin to become a core infrastructure provider for digital assets.However, this outlook is reflected in a rich valuation that leaves minimal room for execution missteps. We remain neutral, as a sustained high-rate environment could stress consumers and impact credit performance, a key risk given the company's large personal loan portfolio. Management's decision to not raise full-year guidance, despite a strong quarter, balances strategic investments against macroeconomic uncertainties.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Tenet Healthcare

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 target price to $200 from $260, 11.4x our 2026 EPS estimate (up to $17.56 from $17.33; 2027 estimate up to $18.00 from $17.85), a discount to the company's three-year historical forward average of 12.9x. We think THC's valuation balances recent deleveraging efforts and a stronger margin profile than in previous years against policy headwinds, including cuts to Medicaid coverage under the OBBBA legislation and the recent expiration of ACA enhanced premium tax credits, which increases risk of higher uncompensated care. Same-facility ACA exchange admissions fell 10% Y/Y in Q1, and THC guides for a 20% reduction in ACA exchange patient volumes for 2026 and anticipates a negative $250 million impact on adjusted EBITDA. While we expect THC to revisit annual guidance in Q2 earnings, at which point a clearer picture of the insurance coverage landscape is likely, we look favorably on the company maintaining its annual inpatient/outpatient volume guidance for now.
