-- Wedbush Securities周五在一份报告中指出，Rivian Automotive (RIVN)公布的第一季度业绩全面超出预期，并重申了其2026年的展望。该公司表示，尽管电动汽车市场前景“不明朗”，但仍需努力削减成本以实现盈利目标。 这家投资公司强调，Rivian的营收超出预期，主要得益于其交付量同比增长20%。 报告还指出，Rivian的软件和服务收入同比增长49%至4.73亿美元，主要增长动力来自车辆电气架构和软件开发服务。 Wedbush表示，Rivian与Uber (UBER)的自动驾驶出租车合作项目，Uber预计将购买至多5万辆自动驾驶汽车并支付软件许可费，这验证了Rivian的技术路线图和人工智能战略。 Wedbush重申了对Rivian的“跑赢大盘”评级和25美元的目标价。 Rivian股价周五下跌超过6%。

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target by $1 to $87, 22.0x our next-12-month EPS estimate, above peers and CMS's three-year historical average of 18.4x. We trim both our 2026 and 2027 EPS views by $0.02 to $3.88 and $4.17, respectively. CMS posted Q1 adjusted EPS growth of 10.8%. CMS announced that two hyperscaler data centers had reached commercial agreement on contract terms and signed 110 MW of new load in Q1 alone (exceeding all of 2025's signings), with expected load coming online starting in 2028, all incremental to the current plan. Each 1 GW of new load provides $2B-$5B in capital investment opportunities while reducing average customer rate growth by ~2%. We think CMS offers competitive near-term EPS (~7.6% 2025-2028 CAGR) and dividend growth trajectories (~5.8%). In our view, Michigan is one of the most supportive regulatory districts in the country, with CMS's most recent electric rate case outcome highlighting regulatory willingness to support prudent investments through multiple recovery mechanisms.
