Truist表示,微软激进的资本支出计划可能会使自由现金流持续承压。

By

-- Truist Securities在一份报告中指出,微软(MSFT)为利用人工智能的强劲需求而制定的激进资本支出计划,可能会在短期内给其自由现金流带来压力。 这家科技巨头计划在2026年投资约1900亿美元用于资本支出,其中包括因组件价格上涨而增加的250亿美元。首席财务官艾米·胡德(Amy Hood)在周三晚间的财报电话会议上表示,公司对计划投资的回报充满信心,因为“需求信号增强”和产品使用量不断增长。 Truist董事总经理特里·蒂尔曼(Terry Tillman)在给客户的报告中表示:“资本支出仍然是微软关注的重点,公司将继续积极投资以满足人工智能驱动的需求。资本支出并非过度支出,而是为了提前投资以支持结构性持久的需求,尽管随着这一建设的继续,自由现金流在短期内可能仍将面临压力。” 该券商将微软股票的目标价从675美元下调至575美元,但维持其“买入”评级。 “尽管我们认为微软的基本面持续改善,但我们认为该股不太可能完全摆脱整体估值压力,因此目前的股价反映了更为平衡的风险/回报,”蒂尔曼表示。 周四下午交易时段,该公司股价下跌3.7%。截至目前,该股在2026年已累计下跌约16%。 “即使进行了这些额外的投资,并持续努力加快图形处理器(GPU)、中央处理器(CPU)和存储容量的上线速度,我们预计至少到2026年,产能仍将受到限制,”胡德告诉分析师。“尽管存在这些限制,并且需要持续平衡新增供应,但我们预计Azure的增长在下半年将比上半年略有加速。” 微软第三财季的业绩超出华尔街预期。微软首席执行官胡德周三晚间在一份声明中表示,公司营收、营业利润和每股收益均超出预期,这反映了“强劲的执行力”以及市场对微软云服务日益增长的需求。Azure是微软的云计算平台。 微软预计本季度营收为867亿美元至878亿美元,这意味着年增长率为13%至15%。 周三晚间,Facebook和Instagram的母公司Meta Platforms(META)将全年资本支出预期从之前的1150亿美元至1350亿美元上调至1250亿美元至1450亿美元,主要原因是零部件价格上涨。

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.
