RBC發布其2026財年第一季加拿大技術展望

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週五發布了其覆蓋的加拿大科技股第一季獲利預測。 RBC指出,由於市場對人工智慧顛覆性影響的擔憂,軟體股估值持續下調,導致S&P/TSX資訊技術子板塊經歷了自2022年以來「最糟糕的開局」。 RBC預計第一季業績將「基本上符合」市場預期,並認為“軟體估值回落的幅度過大”,但短期內市場情緒不太可能發生實質變化。 RBC表示,儘管RBC預計其覆蓋股票的平均內生增長在本季度將“略有改善”,但鑑於市場對人工智能顛覆性影響的敏感性以及宏觀環境的不確定性,市場似乎“規避風險,可能會對利好消息視而不見,而對利空消息過度反應”。 RBC在其覆蓋的股票中認為,Celestica (CLS.TO)、Shopify (SHOP.TO)、Constellation Software (CSU.TO) 和 Kinaxis (KXS.TO) 是第一季業績最值得關注的股票。 RBC補充道,鑑於超大規模資料中心資本支出持續成長,以及網路交換器和人工智慧伺服器需求強勁,Celestica預計第一季獲利將高於市場預期,並上調2026財年業績指引,而Celestica以往的預期較為保守。 RBC表示:「鑑於Celestica股價今年迄今已強勁上漲36%,第一季度業績可能不會成為股價上漲的催化劑。即便如此,我們相信Celestica強勁的增長勢頭、持續的利潤率擴張以及業務結構向更具結構性吸引力的細分市場的轉變,將有助於維持其估值高於同行,並接近其歷史估值區間的高端。” 對於Shopify,RBC預計其第一季業績將“穩健”,第二季業績指引將略高於市場預期。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)指出,美國電子商務支出在第一季走強,這意味著營收成長將環比加速,預計第一季營收和調整後每股盈餘(EPS)將略高於市場預期。 RBC表示:“儘管軟體股年初至今的回調導致Shopify的股價估值有所下調,但我們認為Shopify的基本面依然穩健,並預計強勁的增長將在長期內推動股東回報。” RBC預計Constellation的股價將在第一季業績公佈後小幅上漲。 RBC表示:「鑑於Constellation的股價目前接近多年來的低點,我們認為投資者情緒正在改善,因為第一季業績略高於市場預期,過去12個月的自由現金流增長了25%,且第一季度用於收購的年度化資本支出有望創下新紀錄。與我們預測的未來3年調整後EBITDA複合年增長率(CAGRation)為17%,我們認為是相當的估值。 加拿大皇家銀行(RBC)認為,Kinaxis的股價在公佈第一季業績後可能會「小幅上漲」。該行預計Kinaxis將公佈「穩健」的第一季業績,略高於市場預期,成長動能將持續回升,訂單量也可能保持良好。 RBC補充說:“鑑於Kinaxis的增長正在加速,但其股價目前處於折價水平,我們認為該股具有極具吸引力的風險回報比。此外,不斷擴大的股票回購計劃可能會為股價提供支撐。”

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.
