Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Nvidia Corp.

By

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

We raise our 12-month target price to $270 from $250, on P/E of about 24x our CY 27 EPS, above peers/below historical. We lift our FY 27 EPS (Jan.) to $8.41 from $8.15 and FY 28 to $11.40 from $10.31. Ahead of Apr-Q results after the close on 5/20, we see revenue growth expectations of 80% to $79B and EPS of $1.78 as attainable. All eyes will be on Jul-Q guidance, which implies revenue/EPS of $87B (+86%)/$1.96, with upside from inclusion of the forthcoming Vera Rubin server launch. We will be looking for any commentary on China, especially after Jensen's visit with President Trump (no data center sales in Apr-Q seen in the region). Gross margin outlook will also be important, which we think can sustain 75% as higher component costs will likely get pushed to customers. Thoughts around broader customer capex (we see +70% in CY 26), content growth story via CPUs/LPUs/networking, and industry supply constraints will all be critical. We see NVDA on pace to surpass a $200B annualized FCF run rate by end-CY 26.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Versant Media Group, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our 12-month target price at $35, applying an EV/EBITDA multiple of 3.4x to our 2026 estimate, a slight discount to peers. We lower our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.34 to $5.46 and trim 2027's by $0.34 to $7.67. VSNT experienced ongoing pressure on its Pay TV business, particularly affecting both linear distribution and advertising revenues. This was largely attributed to continued cord-cutting trends, which led to a 7% Y/Y decline in linear distribution revenue and a 5% Y/Y decrease in advertising revenue, although the advertising decline showed improvement compared to the prior year's drop. These trends were described as consistent with the prior trajectory and were partially mitigated by other growth areas but remain a headwind for the company's traditional TV business model.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Quebecor, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by CAD10 to CAD70, applying an EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.4x to our 2026 estimate, comparable to its 3-year historical average multiple at 8.1x. We increase our 2026 EPS estimate by CAD0.11 to CAD4.29 and raise 2027's by CAD0.13 to CAD4.67. The media segment continues to face a deep structural crisis, characterized by challenges such as the dominance of large players in the advertising market, declining television subscriptions, reduced support from the Canadian media fund, unfair competition from public broadcasters, and a heavy regulatory burden from the CRTC. These factors undermine private broadcasters and threaten the viability of local content production and distribution. The wireless market experienced an aggressively promotional environment, leading to unsustainable pricing and heightened competition. This environment resulted in lower organic growth and net mobile additions, as the major players primarily competed for each other's customers at reduced prices.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of The Cooper Companies

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 by $21 to $63, 13.6x our FY 26 EPS estimate (up $0.02 to $4.62; FY 27 estimate up $0.01 to $5.02). Our target multiple reflects a discount to COO's one-year historical forward average of 17.2x and well below the company's 24.9x forward average over the past five years amid ongoing restructuring efforts and uncertainty about long-term strategy given the ongoing strategic business review. We also note recent tariff headwinds and market disruption from the ongoing U.S./Iran conflict. Nonetheless, we expect near-term sales and margin improvement, with recent U.S. vision business trends appearing supportive and restructuring efforts likely to improve profitability, in our view. We anticipate near 5.6% sales growth in FY 26, above the 5.1% growth seen in FY 25, while we see adjusted operating margin improvement to near 26.7% in FY 26 from 25.8%.
