Research Alert: Manh: Solid Q1 Results And Raised Guidance Reflect Cloud Growth Momentum

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

MANH delivered solid Q1 2026 results with revenue of $282.2M (+7.4% Y/Y), beating consensus by $8.5M, driven by strong cloud subscription growth of 24.2% to $117.1M and Services recovery of 3.8% to $125.7M. Non-GAAP EPS of $1.24 significantly exceeded Street expectations of $1.11, while operating cash flow of $84.0M (+11.6%) demonstrated strong cash generation. We view the continued cloud transformation momentum and Services segment recovery as positive indicators for the company's strategic shift toward cloud-native solutions despite persistent macro uncertainty. Management raised 2026 guidance with revenue expectations of $1.147B-$1.157B (+6% to +7%) and adjusted EPS of $5.29-$5.37, above consensus of $5.22. RPO growth rose 24% reaching $2.35B, providing excellent revenue visibility with management highlighting better-than-expected bookings. We believe the robust performance and raised guidance reflect strengthening demand for cloud solutions and improving execution across segments.

Challenger's Fiscal 2026 Q3 Update Missed Consensus Across Key Life Metrics, Jarden Says

Challenger's (ASX:CGF) fiscal 2026 third-quarter update missed consensus across key Life metrics, with FM outflows significantly worse than expected, driven by institutional equity mandate attrition in both Australian and global equities, according to a Tuesday note by Jarden.The firm's redemption of all CGFPC notes on May 25 simplifies the capital structure, reduces the AT1 coupon burden, and is earnings-per-share accretive.Jarden sees balanced risk/reward for Challenger in the future, with catalysts including capital management flexibility from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority reform, as well as expanding retirement partnerships across superfunds.It lowered its fiscal 2026 sales forecast to reflect weaker institutional fixed-term sales, partially offset by higher retail annuity sales as partnerships come online.The investment firm retained its neutral rating on Challenger and raised the price target to AU$8.70 per share from AU$8.60 per share.
