CIBC就GFL Environmental宣布收購SECURE Waste Infrastructure發表評論

-- 週一,加拿大帝國商業銀行資本市場(CIBC Capital Markets)維持對GFL Environmental (GFL.TO)股票的「跑贏大盤」評級,目標價為77加幣。此前,該公司與SECURE Waste Infrastructure (SES.TO)宣布已達成最終協議。 CIBC指出,儘管GFL預計此次收購將提升其EBITDA和自由現金流利潤率,但受此消息影響,GFL股價仍下跌約10%。 CIBC表示,投資者主要擔憂的是,此次擬議收購SES將如何重塑GFL的業務組合。 CIBC指出,GFL近年來一直在轉型,力圖成為一家更專注於固體廢棄物處理的公司,此前該公司已剝離了GIP和Environmental Services (ES)兩家業務。 CIBC表示,雖然SES並非固體廢棄物處理公司,但其財務指標「強勁穩定」。 CIBC也指出,SES以廢棄物處理為中心的營運模式與GFL的固體廢棄物處理業務「高度契合」。 「更重要的是,GFL強調,公司無意透過進一步的併購來拓展以勘探與生產為中心的工業廢料業務,並將SES描述為一次獨特的、一次性的機會,」加拿大帝國商業銀行(CIBC)表示。 “我們還要強調,GFL戰略的核心是其長期財務目標。從這個角度來看,收購SES將使GFL更接近實現這些目標。” 在回答投資者關於此次交易的關鍵問題時,CIBC也指出,鑑於SES的業務涉及能源領域,其收益流的周期性波動可能比固體廢料業務「更大」。 CIBC指出,SES近80%的業務量與經常性的生產相關廢料流有關,而非鑽井活動,該行認為後者「在商品價格週期中更為穩定」。 「我們回顧了SES的財務數據,以突顯其EBITDA在各種商品價格環境下的穩定性,」CIBC補充道。 報告進一步指出,根據準備數據,GFL預計到2027年,與勘探與生產活動直接相關的收入將佔合併收入的約10%-12%。加拿大帝國商業銀行(CIBC)表示,雖然SES的EBITDA流確實展現出一定程度的“與原GFL相比的增量週期性”,但CIBC預計這不會“對合併盈利波動產生實質性影響”。 CIBC補充道,鑑於GFL表示新增併購將集中在固體廢棄物領域,這將進一步稀釋能源廢棄物流的貢獻。 (報告北美、亞洲和歐洲主要銀行及研究機構的股票、大宗商品和經濟研究。研究機構可透過以下連結與我們聯繫:https://www..com/contact-us

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.
