Truist表示,微軟激進的資本支出計畫可能會使自由現金流持續承壓。

By

-- Truist Securities在一份報告中指出,微軟(MSFT)為利用人工智慧的強勁需求而製定的激進資本支出計劃,可能會在短期內給其自由現金流帶來壓力。 這家科技巨頭計劃在2026年投資約1,900億美元用於資本支出,其中包括因組件價格上漲而增加的250億美元。財務長艾米·胡德(Amy Hood)在周三晚間的財報電話會議上表示,公司對計劃投資的回報充滿信心,因為「需求訊號增強」和產品使用量不斷增長。 Truist董事總經理特里·蒂爾曼(Terry Tillman)在給客戶的報告中表示:“資本支出仍然是微軟關注的重點,公司將繼續積極投資以滿足人工智能驅動的需求。資本支出並非過度支出,而是為了提前投資以支持結構性持久的需求,儘管隨著這一建設的繼續,自由現金流在短期內可能仍將面臨壓力。” 該券商將微軟股票的目標價從675美元下調至575美元,但維持其「買入」評級。 「儘管我們認為微軟的基本面持續改善,但我們認為該股不太可能完全擺脫整體估值壓力,因此目前的股價反映了更平衡的風險/回報,」蒂爾曼表示。 週四下午交易時段,該公司股價下跌3.7%。截至目前,該股在2026年已累計下跌約16%。 「即使進行了這些額外的投資,並持續努力加快圖形處理器(GPU)、中央處理器(CPU)和儲存容量的上線速度,我們預計至少到2026年,產能仍將受到限制,」胡德告訴分析師。 “儘管存在這些限制,並且需要持續平衡新增供應,但我們預計Azure的增長在下半年將比上半年略有加速。” 微軟第三財季的業績超乎華爾街預期。微軟執行長胡德週三晚間在聲明中表示,公司營收、營業利潤和每股收益均超出預期,這反映了「強勁的執行力」以及市場對微軟雲端服務日益增長的需求。 Azure是微軟的雲端運算平台。 微軟預計本季營收為867億美元至878億美元,這意味著年增率為13%至15%。 週三晚間,Facebook和Instagram的母公司Meta Platforms(META)將全年資本支出預期從先前的1,150億美元至1,350億美元上調至1,250億美元至1,450億美元,主要原因是零組件價格上漲。

Research Alert: Columbia Sportswear Company Beats Estimates; Raises Full-year Guidance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:COLM posted Q1 2026 EPS of $0.65 vs. $0.75 prior year, $0.30 above consensus on flat net sales of $779M, $21M above estimates. International diversification proved valuable with EMEA surging 35% and LAAP growing 5%, offsetting a 10% U.S. decline, while gross margin contracted 20 bps to 50.7% primarily from a 310-bp incremental tariff impact. We believe the international growth strategy is effectively insulating the company from U.S. tariff headwinds and positioning it for sustained global expansion. Management raised full-year EPS guidance to $3.55-$4.00 from prior $3.20-$3.65 and operating margin guidance to 6.7%-7.5% reflecting better tariff conditions. The company maintains its fortress balance sheet with $535.4M cash and no debt while executing a $150M share repurchase program. We are impressed with international performance driving growth and expect continued momentum from the ACCELERATE Growth Strategy targeting younger consumers, with shares trading at 17x forward EPS guidance.
