Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Recommendation On Shares Of Arm Holdings Plc

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 to $250 from $180, on a higher revised P/E of about 90x our CY 27 EPS estimate of $2.79, above peers given growth prospects. After posting largely in-line Mar-Q results and Jun-Q guidance, we maintain our FY 27 (Mar.) EPS estimate at $2.18 and start FY 28 at $3.06. We believe that ARM's strategic expansion from a pure-play IP company into a silicon provider with the launch of the Arm AGI CPU in late March has the potential to significantly increase its market opportunity. This new product, aimed at the Agentic AI market, has seen explosive initial interest, with customer demand doubling to over $2 billion for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 since its announcement just weeks prior. Supply constraints could limit the trajectory of Arm AGI sales early on, but we think this initiative offers explosive growth potential in our out year estimates (CY 28 through CY 30). Despite $25B revenue and $9 EPS target by decade end, we think valuation (28x on a 2030 basis) already discounts much of this growth.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Logitech International S.a. To Sell From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We decrease our price target by $10 to $84, applying a P/E of 15x to our FY 27 (Mar.) EPS estimate, below LOGI's three-year average (~24x) given elevated macro headwinds. We lower our FY 27 EPS estimate by $0.07 to $5.58 and initiate a FY 28 view at $5.85. While Q4's results (sales +3% ex-FX, non-GAAP operating margin +210 bps Y/Y) demonstrated resilience in a volatile macro environment, we think management is downplaying the negative impacts that will accompany memory supply issues in FY 27, which should increase costs and prices for the fast-growing Video Collaboration product category (+8% ex-FX in Q4), slowing overall company growth. We also expect peripherals to hold some correlation to PC unit volumes despite management's optimistic assertion otherwise, resulting in broad pressure across multiple products. Growth in APAC (28% of FY 26 sales, +15% ex-FX) has been a bright spot, but we worry that elevated marketing spend is supporting results more than product leadership and innovation.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Rating On Shares Of Tempus Ai To Sell From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target to $47 from $59, applying a 4.7x EV/sales multiple to our 2027 estimates, a discount to TEM's 7.7x average forward multiple since IPO in 2024. We narrow our 2026 loss per share view by $0.01 to -$0.44 and widen 2027's by $0.05 to -$0.14. While we expect TEM to report positive operating income and EPS by 2028, it is possible that operational disruption, competitive losses, or other developments delay the company's path toward profitability and drive further operating losses. With macroeconomic headwinds pressuring the health care sector, we favor some of TEM's competitors over the near-term, including peers in life sciences tools/services as well as the health care services sub-industry, despite the company's significant growth expectations. We also note risks around reimbursement, with TEM deciding to meter its MRD testing volumes to wait for more favorable pricing dynamics, as well as uncertainties around the timing of FDA approvals for various tests.

Research Alert: Tko Group Holdings Reports Q1 2026 Earnings Beat; Revenue In Line

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:TKO reported mixed Q1 2026 results with EPS of $1.12 beating consensus by $0.06, while revenue of $1.6B (+26%) was only in line with estimates. Growth was fueled by IMG integration and broad-based strength across UFC, WWE, and IMG segments. Despite mixed top-line performance, profitability metrics showed improvement with Adjusted EBITDA advancing 32% to $549.8M and margin expanding 100 bps to 34%. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of $5.68B-$5.78B in revenue and $2.24B-$2.29B in Adjusted EBITDA. The company delivered exceptional cash generation with free cash flow of $674.5M and returned $1.0B to shareholders through buybacks and dividends. We believe the diversified revenue model provides strong visibility, with new media rights deals including the $1.1B annual Paramount agreement and ESPN/Netflix contracts supporting future growth. In our view, the additional $1B buyback authorization signals board confidence in the business model and cash flow trajectory as we look ahead in 2026-2027.
