Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Rating On Shares Of Invitation Homes Inc.

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our target by $1 to $30, using a forward P/FFO of 15.2x compared to five-year historic average near 20.0x given the overhang on potential federal legislation that may curtail the single-family residential market. We raise our FFO estimate for 2026 by $0.03 to $1.93 and increase 2027 estimate by $0.05 to $2.00 on projected revenue of $2.84B and $2.85B, respectively. We like that the shares offer a 4.3% dividend yield. We think INVH has ample liquidity to meet its debt obligations, working capital, construction expenditures, and development pipeline. Washington Analysis (WA), a CFRA business, puts the odd of single-family-homes-for-rent (SFHR) at 20% odds or lower, given the White House has not been actively involved in engagement. Furthermore, WA puts the odds at 45% the build-to-rent disposal language is materially softened or eliminated in a revised bill that passes both chambers in Congress. WA sees 35% odds the bills falls apart for the year. Thus, 20% the bill moves along with bipartisan support.

CN Says Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern Merger Fails To Address Competitive Harms

Canadian National Railway (CNR.TO, CNI) after the close Thursday said it is reviewing Union Pacific UNP) and Norfolk Southern's (NSC) amended merger application submitted to the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and will remain "actively engaged" in this process.According to a statement, the applicants have failed to "materially improve the amended application" in ways that address the competitive harms of the merger. They have not remedied the "significant competitive harms" posed by the merger, nor have they offered any meaningful competitive enhancements as required under the board's new rules, said CN, adding that "these failures should be fatal to the application"."Given the magnitude of this transaction, the board's authority to impose conditions that protect competition and the public interest must be paramount. If Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern have set a cost cap on the conditions they're willing to accept, that's their business decision and their risk. It is not a ceiling on the board's authority, and it doesn't limit what's required in the public interest," said Olivier Chouc, CN's chief legal officer.CN Rail shares closed up C$4.66 at C$152.57 on Toronto Stock Exchange.
