Wedbush称,Fortinet将在网络风险和人工智能升级方面加速增长。

By

-- Wedbush Securities周四发布的一份报告称,随着人工智能驱动的基础设施需求、日益增长的网络风险、产品升级、供应商整合以及销售势头的改善,Fortinet (FTNT) 有望实现更强劲的增长,其营收和账单收入前景也因此得到支撑。 报告指出,Fortinet第一季度账单收入增长31%至20.9亿美元,超出华尔街预期,主要得益于安全运营和运营技术安全方面的强劲表现。Wedbush表示,营收增长20%,这主要得益于大型客户升级到更高性能的系统以处理人工智能相关的工作负载。 Wedbush称,由于执行力强劲且成本控制得当,Fortinet的营业利润率和每股收益均超出预期。报告还指出,由于网络威胁、数据安全需求和成本压力促使客户转向更广泛的网络平台,Fortinet上调了其2026年营收和账单收入预期。 Wedbush将Fortinet股票的目标价从90美元上调至125美元,并维持“跑赢大盘”评级,理由是其对该公司增长复苏更有信心。

Research Alert: CFRA Upgrades Opinion On Shares Of Mcdonald's Corp To Buy From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our target by $33 to $317, 24x our 2026 EPS estimate and in line with the shares' ten-year average forward multiple. We lower our 2026 EPS view to $13.21 from $13.44 and 2027's to $14.11 from $14.27. We upgrade MCD from Hold to Buy. Shares trade at a 12% discount to their ten-year forward average, creating an attractive entry point despite near-term margin headwinds from restaurant operating costs, particularly beef costs. We expect margin normalization as traffic gains scale and value messaging matures. Q1 results outperformed on total revenue, global comps, and adjusted EPS, with developed market comps of +3.9%, improving 490 bps sequentially, and developing markets maintaining momentum at +3.4%. In our view, results suggest value positioning is resonating globally and driving traffic recovery. MCD's category expansion into chicken and beverages provides incremental growth optionality, while >80% free cash flow conversion supports continued investment in restaurant development and shareholder returns.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold View On Shares Of Kenvue Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We maintain our 12-month target price at $19, which is 16.5x our 2027 EPS view of $1.15, a discount to the trading multiple of 18.1x since going public in 2023. We think this multiple is justified given the litigation overhang and limited visibility into KVUE's standalone performance (the company is no longer providing forward-looking guidance and hosting an analyst call) due to the pending acquisition by Kimberly-Clark (KMB), expected to close during 2H 2026. We increase our 2026 EPS estimate to $1.15 from $1.10 following this morning's Q1 earnings release. We maintain our 2027 EPS estimate at $1.15. Kenvue delivered a solid first quarter that demonstrated continued operational momentum. Net sales increased to $3,909M (+4.5% Y/Y) with organic growth of 0.7%. The performance suggests management's operational initiatives are gaining traction as the company approaches the transaction close. The transaction received shareholder approval in January 2026, and regulatory approvals are progressing.
