CIBC就GFL Environmental宣布收购SECURE Waste Infrastructure发表评论

-- 周一,加拿大帝国商业银行资本市场(CIBC Capital Markets)维持对GFL Environmental (GFL.TO)股票的“跑赢大盘”评级,目标价为77加元。此前,该公司与SECURE Waste Infrastructure (SES.TO)宣布已达成最终协议。 CIBC指出,尽管GFL预计此次收购将提升其EBITDA和自由现金流利润率,但受此消息影响,GFL股价仍下跌约10%。 CIBC表示,投资者主要担忧的是,此次拟议收购SES将如何重塑GFL的业务组合。CIBC指出,GFL近年来一直在转型,力图成为一家更专注于固体废物处理的公司,此前该公司已剥离了GIP和Environmental Services (ES)两家业务。 CIBC表示,虽然SES并非固体废物处理公司,但其财务指标“强劲稳定”。CIBC还指出,SES以废物处理为中心的运营模式与GFL的固体废物处理业务“高度契合”。 “更重要的是,GFL强调,公司无意通过进一步的并购来拓展以勘探与生产为中心的工业废料业务,并将SES描述为一次独特的、一次性的机会,”加拿大帝国商业银行(CIBC)表示。“我们还要强调,GFL战略的核心是其长期财务目标。从这个角度来看,收购SES将使GFL更接近实现这些目标。” 在回答投资者关于此次交易的关键问题时,CIBC还指出,鉴于SES的业务涉及能源领域,其收益流的周期性波动可能比固体废料业务“更大”。 CIBC指出,SES近80%的业务量与经常性的生产相关废料流有关,而非钻井活动,该行认为后者“在商品价格周期中更为稳定”。 “我们回顾了SES的财务数据,以突出其EBITDA在各种商品价格环境下的稳定性,”CIBC补充道。 报告进一步指出,根据备考数据,GFL预计到2027年,与勘探与生产活动直接相关的收入将占合并收入的约10%-12%。加拿大帝国商业银行(CIBC)表示,虽然SES的EBITDA流确实展现出一定程度的“与原GFL相比的增量周期性”,但CIBC预计这不会“对合并盈利波动产生实质性影响”。CIBC补充道,鉴于GFL表示新增并购将集中在固体废物领域,这将进一步稀释能源废物流的贡献。 (报道北美、亚洲和欧洲主要银行及研究机构的股票、大宗商品和经济研究。研究机构可通过以下链接联系我们: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.
