-- Stifel Canada将CGI（GIB-A.TO）的目标股价从160.00美元下调至128.00美元，理由是“行业整体增速放缓”。此前，该公司将于周三盘前公布第二季度财报。 分析师Suthan Sukumar维持对该股的“买入”评级。他表示，成本削减幅度加大的环境将有利于托管服务需求的持续强劲增长，同时也有助于客户释放资金用于更广泛的人工智能投资，从而使CGI等端到端服务提供商受益。 他补充道，尽管受冲突和关税影响，宏观经济的不确定性仍然是关键因素，但近期行业业绩表明，在金融服务和政府部门持续强劲的支撑下，整体市场环境趋于稳定。 总而言之，我们预计该公司将公布一份稳健的业绩报告，以重申其稳健的业绩和更强劲的增长势头，从而消除市场对人工智能颠覆性变革的持续担忧。目前该公司估值处于十多年来的低位，市盈率仅为10倍，风险回报比颇具吸引力，尤其是在未来并购潜力巨大的情况下。

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Visa posted excellent Mar-Q results with adj. EPS of $3.31 vs. $2.76 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.21. Revenue of $11.2B rose 17% Y/Y, beating consensus by 4% and marking the strongest growth since 2022. We view this as an excellent result, as concerns surrounding AI disruption or geopolitical uncertainty did not manifest in Visa's performance. Adjusted operating margin held firm at 68.0%, a good result given prior guidance indicated likely margin compression. Strong performance was broad based with data processing revenue up 18% to $5.5B and other revenue surging 41% to $1.3B, reflecting successful expansion in value-added services. Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe advanced 11% on a constant currency (CC) basis while payments volume grew 9%. Geographic strength was led by LAC (+14% CC), CEMEA (+13% CC), and Europe (+11% CC), with encouraging acceleration in the U.S. to 8%. We applaud the board's authorization of a new $20B multi-year share repurchase program given Visa's muted valuation.
