Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Callaway Golf After Strong Start To 2026

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 $2 to $17, 13.5x our 2026 adjusted EBITDA estimate, above CALY's three-year average forward EV/EBITDA view of 12.3x, reflecting a re-rating in shares after the sale of 60% of Topgolf. CALY's balance sheet and margin profile improved significantly post-sale, and management moved quickly to improve operating efficiencies for the remaining Golf Equipment and Apparel and Accessories businesses. In its Q1 call, management raised its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance due to strong demand for CALY's new products and progress on its cost-saving initiatives. We now see shares trading in line with its largest peer Acushnet (GOLF), which trades ~13x forward EBITDA estimates. The top four companies in the space dominate marketshare and have strong moats insulating the business, which we believe will continue. We remain neutral as the market swiftly re-rated shares after the sale, and we view valuation as fair. We lift our 2026 EPS from $0.50 to $0.65 and 2027's from $0.55 to $0.76.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Wix.com To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lowered our rating on Wix to Hold from Buy and cut our 12-month target price from USD105 to USD57, based on a lower 2026 P/E of 11.1x, representing 2 standard deviations below the three-year historical mean of 24.7x. The lower valuation reflects increasing uncertainty surrounding profitability recovery as Wix enters a significantly heavier AI investment cycle, with rising AI infrastructure and inference costs. We maintain our 2026 revenue forecast at USD2.3B (+15% Y/Y) and 2027's at USD2.6B (+15% Y/Y), reflecting continued momentum from Base44, improving monetization and conversion trends from Wix Harmony as well as expansion in AI-powered online creation offerings. We cut our 2026 EPS forecast from USD8.38 to USD5.11 and 2027's from USD9.64 to USD5.88 to reflect rising AI infrastructure costs. We also expect significantly higher sales and marketing spending as Wix continues to scale Base44 amid expanding AI-related initiatives.

Research Alert: CFRA Retains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Simon Property Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our 12-month target by $12 to $220, valuing SPG shares at 16.8x our 2026 FFO estimate, a premium to the one-year average forward multiple of 14.3x due to an improving outlook for anchor tenants and strong re-leasing spreads. We increase our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.02 to $13.10 and increase 2027 by $0.27 to $13.67. SPG has gained momentum in recent quarters with improving re-leasing spreads and a redevelopment portfolio now expected to fuel higher NOI growth in future years. We believe SPG is likely to maintain 5%-7% comparable sales growth throughout 2026 with new leases in the 22%-27% range for the year (outperforming our prior expectations). Luxury stores continue to see the strongest growth in sales per square foot, while management noted that food and beverage sales were flat Y/Y despite strong foot traffic. Interest rate headwinds are expected as a $0.05 drag on FFO due to the prior outlook incorporating additional rate cuts vs. the current consensus for the year.
