-- Stifel Canada預計Colliers International（CIGI.TO，CIGI）第一季營收將成長10%至12.55億美元。 分析師Daryl Young維持對該股的「買進」評級和175美元的目標價，預計其調整後EBITDA為1.202億美元（市場普遍預期為1.221億美元），利潤率為9.6%（年減60個基點）。他表示，利潤率下降反映了投資管理（IM）平台整合成本。 Young認為，受中東衝突、利率波動和變現活動放緩等因素的影響，整體募資市場仍低迷。 “需要明確的是，CIGI的投資管理平台主要面向私募市場的細分領域，受當前私募市場挑戰的直接影響有限，但我們認為整體市場情緒可能會對募資造成不利影響。” 該公司將於5月5日收盤後公佈季度財報。
