RBC表示,受伺服器CPU需求強勁提振,英特爾可望「小幅超預期」。

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場(RBC Capital Markets)週二在一份電子郵件報告中表示,受強勁的伺服器中央處理器(CPU)需求推動,英特爾(INTC)預計將公佈其第一財季業績「略微超出預期」。 該券商預計,這家晶片製造商將於週四公佈經調整後的每股收益和營收,分別高於RBC先前對3月份季度盈虧平衡和122億美元的預期。 FactSet目前的共識預期是,英特爾的非GAAP每股盈餘為0.02美元,營收為124.2億美元。 RBC分析師Srini Pajjuri表示:“我們預計,受強勁的伺服器CPU需求推動,英特爾的業績將略微超出預期。(個人電腦)市場目前看來也保持穩定。” RBC預計,英特爾資料中心和人工智慧部門第一財季的營收為43億美元,年增3%,並有成長空間。 「儘管需求依然強勁,但管理層預計內部晶圓供應限制將在(第一季)最為嚴峻,這可能會限制短期內的上漲空間,」帕朱里寫道。 “近期媒體報道指出英特爾正在提價,這應該會有所幫助。” 對於本季度,RBC預計英特爾將發布高於華爾街預期的131億美元營收和0.09美元調整後每股收益的業績展望,這主要得益於伺服器CPU需求的成長和晶圓供應的改善。 RBC預計,資料中心和人工智慧業務在第二季將實現10%的環比成長,並認為在供應改善和價格健康的情況下,該業務具有潛在的成長空間。該券商在報告中表示,預計伺服器需求將繼續受益於智慧人工智慧的發展,並認為產業供應在2026年之前仍將保持「緊張」狀態。 RBC維持對英特爾股票的「與產業持平」評級,目標價為48美元。 該公司股價週二下午上漲0.3%,今年以來累計漲幅接近79%。 去年,美國政府同意投資89億美元購買英特爾普通股,作為取得該公司股份協議的一部分。此外,英偉達(NVDA)也同意向英特爾注資50億美元,雙方合作旨在開發新型資料中心和個人電腦晶片。

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.
