Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Urban Outfitters

By

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

We maintain our 12-month price target of $100, based on 16.7x our FY 27 (Jan.) EPS estimate and above the company's three-year average forward P/E multiple of 11.9x, reflecting our view that the company deserves a peer multiple due to its significant comparable store sale growth and impressive margin expansion in recent quarters. We raise our FY 27 EPS estimate by $0.25 to $6.00 and maintain our FY 28 EPS estimate at $6.25. URBN expects high single-digit revenue growth in FY 27, led by its namesake and Free People brands. The company has been a top performer in apparel over the past 18 months and has seen consistent margin expansion and revenue growth since the pandemic. We believe it is only a matter of time before investors begin to give the company a peer multiple (mid-teens forward P/E). URBN's improving fundamentals and low valuation has led management to begin significant share repurchases ($300M in FQ1), which we see continuing due to the company's strong cash generation and debt-free balance sheet.

CIBC Confirms Neutral Rating and Target of $5.00 on Computer Modelling After Q4 Results

CIBC Capital Markets maintained its neutral rating and target price of $5.00 on the shares of Computer Modelling Group (CMG.TO) after the company reported its fiscal fourth-quarter financial results on Thursday.The bank views the company's Q4 as a "constructive step forward". It noted recurring organic revenue returned to positive territory, supported by new software revenue following the transition of CMG's contract with Shell for CoFlow from a professional services-based development contract to a multi-year software licensing agreement."While Q4 performance was encouraging, execution is still key, and guidance for F2027 indicates CMG remains in a period of transition," said analyst Erin Kyle. "The current oil price environment looks increasingly constructive for CMG, and we expect the company could benefit over the medium-term as more countries look to increase oil production through new exploration or by revisiting older assets."CIBC revised its fiscal 2027 estimates lower to reflect lower year-over-year Professional Services revenue and stable year-over-year organic recurring revenue compared to fiscal 2026, which it expects will be back half weighted. It has also rolled forward its estimates to fiscal 2028, and now expects revenue to decline by -0.1% in fiscal 2027, and grow by 3.7% in fiscal 2028.(covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.
