Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Sentinelone, Inc.

By

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

We increase our target price to $17, from $16, on an EV/S of 4.2x our FY 27 (Jan.) sales forecast of $1.203B, below its three-year average on a softer revenue guide. We raise our FY 26 EPS projection to $0.36 from $0.33, and lift our FY 27 EPS forecast to $0.48 from $0.46. S reported Q1 FY 27 revenue of $277M, up 21% Y/Y, with total ARR reaching $1,163M, growing 23% Y/Y and accelerating sequentially. A record net new ARR of $44M rose 55% Y/Y, due to new logos and expansion, while customers with $100K+ ARR grew 17% to 1,702, reflecting strong upmarket momentum. We note that emerging products continue to be a meaningful growth driver for the firm, and highlight that non-endpoint solutions (AI Security, Data, Cloud) now constitute approximately 50% of total ARR, reflecting its diversified portfolio. While several metrics and management's commentary suggest strong demand, its conservative outlook gives us pause on a more bullish view. Restructuring initiatives also risk sales disruptions ahead.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Hp Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our price target by $1 to $17, 6x our FY 27 (Oct.) EPS view ($2.83), below HPQ's three-year historical average (~8x) given structural headwinds and rapid memory price increases. We raise our FY 26 EPS view by $0.08 to $2.99 and lower FY 27's by $0.15 to $2.83. Q2 results were impressive on paper, led by Personal Systems (71% of sales) growing by 10% in constant currency, up from Q1's 9% growth pace. Still, we think sales results are being boosted by unsustainable pull-in effects amid the rising price environment, and we expect HP to soon run out of lower-cost inventory that is allowing it to sustain its resilient margin performance (non-GAAP operating margin 7.5% in Q2, up 20 bps Y/Y). AI PCs should continue rising as a proportion of the PC mix (following a solid 44% contribution in Q2, +900 bps Q/Q), but we think this positive is more than offset by cost volatility that not only includes memory components but increasingly oil-based resins for the Printing business (59% of non-GAAP operating profit).
