Research Alert: Cubesmart Q1: Personnel & Property Tax Headwinds Limit Same-store Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:CUBE reported Q1 revenue of $282M (+3.3% Y/Y, $4M above consensus) driven primarily by acquisitions, with same-store revenue up just 0.2% Y/Y while NOI declined 1.5%. FFO per share was $0.63 (-1.6% Y/Y), in-line with consensus, as rising personnel expenses (+7.2%), advertising (+54.4%), and property taxes pressured margins. We continue to believe occupancy pressures from excess new builds will begin to ease in 2H 2026, particularly in underperforming Sun Belt markets. Management maintained FY 2026 FFO guidance of $2.52-$2.60 per share and same-store revenue growth guidance of -0.25% to +1.25%. We see same-store expenses accelerating and NOI turning negative in 2H 2026 based on current trends. Occupancy declined to 89.3% (down 30 bps Y/Y) as anticipated, though we expect improvement once new supply pressures subside. CUBE remained active with $33M in share repurchases and continued expanding through acquisitions and third-party management growth.

Research Alert: Wdc Posts Above-street Results And Guidance On Stellar Margin Performance

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:WDC reported strong Q3 FY 26 results, with revenue of $3.34B (+45% Y/Y, +11% Q/Q) modestly beating consensus of $3.25B, while non-GAAP EPS of $2.72 (+100% Y/Y, +28% Q/Q) significantly beat consensus by 14%. Non-GAAP gross margin reached 50.5% (+1,040 bps Y/Y, +440 bps Q/Q), and operating margin hit 38.6% (+1,260 bps Y/Y, +480 bps Q/Q) as higher capacity drives rolled out to customers. Cloud remained dominant at 89% of revenue, with exabyte shipments rising 34% Y/Y to 222 EB and over 4.1M latest-generation ePMR drive shipments (vs. 3.5M last quarter) supporting a healthy ASP uplift. Q4 guidance impressed, with a revenue midpoint of $3.65B (+40% Y/Y) beating the Street by 5% and non-GAAP EPS of ~$3.25 (+96% Y/Y) exceeding consensus by 18%, though these guidance beats fell short of major peer STX's earlier this week (+9% / +26%). We believe the ongoing NAND shortage continues to provide incremental tailwinds, extending WDC's pricing power runway and supporting margin expansion in the coming quarters.

Research Alert: Dlb Posts Modest Q2 Beats, Conservative Outlook Reflects Uncertainty

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:DLB posted modest Q2 beats with revenue of $395.6M (+7.1% Y/Y) above consensus by $10.2M, while non-GAAP EPS of $1.37 beat by $0.03, due to licensing revenue growth of 7.6% to $372.2M. Broadcast segment strength (+26.5% Y/Y to $119.2M) suggests Dolby Vision 2.0 initiatives are gaining traction with TV OEMs, marking a notable recovery from prior-year declines (-11%). Yet, Mobile segment decelerated (-5.9% Y/Y to $94.2M) after a strong Q1, though minimum volume commitments provide some insulation. Management's Q3 outlook appears conservative as it sees revenue of $295M-$325M, and EPS of $0.56-$0.71, both below consensus. DLB maintained its FY 26 guidance of $1.40B-$1.45B in revenue and $4.30-$4.45 EPS. We believe the mixed segment performance reflects broader market pressures, with Consumer Electronics (+7.4%) and Other segments (+6.0%) showing resilience despite tariff and memory pricing headwinds. Strong margins at 88.7% and $65M in share repurchases demonstrate healthy cash generation and capital allocation.

Research Alert: Five9 Reports Strong Earnings, With An Acceleration In Subscriptions Revenue Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Five9 delivered solid Q1 2026 results with revenue of $305.3M, representing 9% growth but moderating from previous quarters due to longer AI implementation cycles. Subscription revenue accelerated to 13% growth, now comprising 82% of total revenue, demonstrating successful positioning in AI-driven customer experience transformation. The company's Intelligent CX Platform captures premium value for advanced capabilities in the evolving market. Management guided 2026 revenue to $1.254B-$1.266B (approximately 9% growth at midpoint) and non-GAAP EPS of $3.22-$3.30. Profitability metrics showed exceptional performance with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 24.4% from 18.8% and operating cash flow reaching $63.9M, up 32%. Enterprise AI annual run rate revenue surpassed $100M with 50% growth. We will watch for AI bookings updates, dollar-based retention rate trends, and the impact of Google Cloud partnerships on sales cycles and customer adoption.

Research Alert: Aig Posts Significantly Better-than-expected Q1 Operating Eps

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AIG posted strong Q1 results with operating EPS of $2.11 versus $1.17 prior year, topping our $1.95 estimate and the $1.88 consensus view on improved claim trends. General Insurance net premiums written surged 24% to $5.6B, while underwriting income more than tripled to $774M with the combined ratio improving 850 basis points to 87.3% on lower catastrophe losses. We view AIG as undervalued and believe its ability to produce above-peer underwriting profitability will provide a catalyst for shares to close their valuation gap with peers. Chairman and CEO Peter Zaffino will transition out, with Eric Anderson becoming CEO on June 1, 2026. We are encouraged by AIG's significantly improved underwriting profitability and broad-based premium growth driven by strategic transactions including Everest Group renewals. AIG returned $760M to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, with the Board increasing the quarterly dividend 11% to $0.50 per share, marking the fourth consecutive year of double-digit increases.

Research Alert: The Clorox Company Beats Estimates Driven By Household And International

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:CLX reported Q3 FY 26 net sales of $1.67B, flat Y/Y with organic sales down 1%, while adj. EPS of $1.64 grew 13% and beat consensus by $0.10. Gross margin contracted 140 bps to 43.2% due to elevated manufacturing costs and unfavorable mix, though disciplined expense management supported earnings. Mixed segment performance showed Household and International delivering growth of 3% and 8%, respectively, while Lifestyle declined 9% on lower consumption and inventory adjustments. Management updated FY 26 guidance expecting net sales to decline ~6% with organic sales down ~9%, including a 7.5%-pt ERP headwind. Adj. EPS guidance of $5.45-$5.65 represents a 27%-29% decline, with gross margin expected to contract 250-300 bps from GOJO inventory step-up and elevated energy costs. The April 1 GOJO acquisition expands the health portfolio though near-term integration costs pressure results. We believe the completed $580M digital transformation positions CLX for long-term operational improvements despite macro headwinds.

Research Alert: Rivn: Q1 Eps Ahead Of Consensus; 2026 Guidance Unchanged

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Rivian (RIVN) posted Q1 adjusted EPS of -$0.55 vs. -$0.41, ahead of the -$0.60 consensus. Revenue rose 11% to $1.38B ($10M ahead of consensus) on a 20% increase in total vehicle sales to 10,365 units, augmented by a 49% Y/Y increase in software and services revenue to $473M. RIVN's gross margin contracted 800 bps to 8.6%, but was ahead of the 8.4% consensus. The quarter's financial results reflect the company's strategic pivot toward broader market accessibility with the R2, though at the cost of near-term profitability. RIVN maintained prior 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA, vehicle deliveries, and capex. The company ended Q1 with cash of $4.8B, down from $6.1B at year-end 2025. Shares are trading 1% higher in after-hours trading. RIVN's Q1 earnings were ahead of expectations, although cash burn remains a key concern, with free cash flow deteriorating, driven by increased operating expenses and working capital consumption. Execution risks remain high given challenging demand facing the broader EV industry.

Research Alert: Rmd Posts Mixed Q3 Fy 26 With Solid Margin Expansion Despite Revenue Miss

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ResMed delivered mixed Q3 FY 26 results with revenue growing 11% to $1.43B, $20M below expectations, while non-GAAP EPS of $2.86 rose 21%, beating consensus by $0.06. Geographic performance showed broad strength with U.S./Canada/Latin America up 9% and Europe/Asia expanding 16%, while masks/accessories outpaced devices with 16% vs 9% growth. The standout highlight was gross margin expansion of 290 bps to 62.2% driven by manufacturing efficiencies and component cost improvements, demonstrating operational excellence in our view. The company continues advancing its digital health strategy with new product launches including the AirTouch F30i mask and plans for a 2027 Indiana distribution center. We expect the recently completed VirtuOx acquisition to strengthen diagnostic capabilities within ResMed's digital health ecosystem across 140+ countries, positioning the company well for continued growth in the expanding sleep and respiratory care market.

Research Alert: Mohawk Beats Q1 Eps On Cost Control, But Inflation Forces Weak Q2 Outlook

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Q1 net sales of $2.7B ended near consensus, with 8% Y/Y growth aided by four additional shipping days, though adjusted sales declined 2.6% indicating underlying weakness. Adjusted EPS of $1.90 beat consensus of $1.81 and guidance of $1.85, driven by productivity, restructuring, and product mix improvements that offset cost inflation and lower volumes. However, we remain cautious as Flooring North America and Rest of World segments declined 4.1% and 4.4%, respectively, with competitive industry pricing pressuring margins despite operating margin expansion of 60 bps to 5.5%. Management's Q2 adjusted EPS guidance of $2.50-$2.60 missed prior consensus of $2.73, citing the Middle East conflict driving higher energy costs for key product inputs. MHK expects the full impact of raw material cost increases to flow through in 2H FY 26, suggesting initial margin pressure. Strong cash generation of $110.1M vs $3.7M prior year enabled $64M in share repurchases.

Research Alert: Camden Property Trust Posts Ffo Beat With Flat Revenue Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:CPT reported Q1 2026 FFO of $1.70 per share, in line with consensus, while total revenue of $389M declined 1.0% Y/Y, also meeting expectations. Same property cash NOI fell 0.7% Y/Y with revenue growth of 0.2% and expense growth of 1.9%, reflecting pricing pressure from new supply deliveries across Sunbelt markets. Management expects 2026 to be a "below-average year for pricing power" as blended lease spreads deteriorated to -1.4% from +0.1% in the prior year, with new lease spreads worsening to -5.2% from -3.1%. For full-year 2026, management guides same property NOI growth of -2.50% to +1.50%, indicating potential negative growth. The weakest markets include Atlanta (-7.4% NOI), Nashville (-7.1%), and Houston (-3.7%), while Southeast FL (+4.8%) was strongest. CPT maintains $3.9B in total debt with $882M available liquidity, though cash position remains low at $41M. We believe supply pressures will persist through 2026, limiting rental rate growth potential.

Research Alert: Weyerhaeuser Company Q1: Climate Solutions Drive Ebitda Via One-time Items

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:WY reported Q1 revenue of $1.73B, down 2.0% Y/Y but up 12.1% Q/Q, beating consensus by $8M, with EPS of $0.22 (up 120% Y/Y) and adjusted EPS of $0.11 ($0.06 above consensus). Timberlands revenue declined 6.8% Y/Y to $492M while Wood Products fell 9.6% to $1.16B due to lower pricing and volumes in structural lumber. We don't anticipate large easement transactions for the rest of the year and believe Climate Solutions operating income peaked in Q1. Management's 2030 target of $250M in adjusted EBITDA for Climate Solutions appears achievable given the segment's exceptional Q1 performance. The Strategic Land Solutions segment generated $169M in operating income (+101% Q/Q), boosted by a $94M conservation easement transaction, while Q/Q pricing improvements in Wood Products signal a strong 2H 2026 recovery. We expect Q2 EBITDA to decline to the $280M-$290M range, primarily impacted by the absence of one-time conservation easement transactions.

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.

Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:DXCM delivered Q1 2026 sales growth of 15% Y/Y (12% organic growth) to $1.192B due to 11% U.S. growth and 26% international growth, with adjusted EPS of $0.56 rising 75% from the prior-year period. Adjusted operating margin expanded 840 bps Y/Y to 22.2%, supported by 600 bps of gross margin improvement to 63.5% on favorable product mix and operational efficiency initiatives. The recent U.S. launch of the G7 15-day CGM system offers users longer wear time between devices and increased accuracy, while new Smart Meal Logging capabilities were rolled out for Stelo OTC product for non-insulin users. Management raised 2026 adjusted operating margin guidance to 23%-23.5%, while reaffirming revenue guidance of $5.16B-$5.25B. With $2.42B in cash and equivalents and negative net debt, DXCM maintains substantial financial flexibility, in our view.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AAPL posted Mar-Q revenue growth of 17% to $111.2B, beating the 15% forecast, with EPS of $2.01 (+22%) above $1.94 consensus. The iPhone 17 cycle demonstrated remarkable strength with revenue reaching a Mar-Q record of $57.0B (+22%), driven by extraordinary demand across all regions, particularly China (+28%). We believe the strong iPhone 17 replacement cycle is supported by both higher average selling prices and units, with solid performance across all geographic segments. Management highlighted exceptional demand for the iPhone 17 lineup as a key driver. Gross margin of 49.3% beat the 48.4% consensus, with Services continuing its impressive trajectory at $31B (+16%). AAPL announced a 4% dividend increase to $0.27 per share and a $100B share repurchase authorization. Although we are impressed by overall results, we think bigger catalysts will come at WWDC in June with AI Siri integration and September's hardware event unveiling the first foldable phone.

Research Alert: CFRA Lowers Opinion On Shares Of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target by $97 to $290, based on a 13x 2026 EV/EBITDA multiple (from 16x), a discount to shares' 15x three-year average forward average multiple, reflecting risks to earnings growth stemming from elevated fuel costs. We lower our 2026 EPS estimate to $17.42 from $18.18 and 2027's to $19.92 from $20.40. Following Q1 results, we are downgrading our opinion to Hold from Buy. Our revised opinion reflects our view on elevated fuel costs, which are expected to increase 2026 fuel expenses by $200M compared to RCL's prior guidance in February. Furthermore, geopolitical disruptions moderated booking demand for high-yield Mediterranean and West Coast Mexico itineraries, suggesting potential for net yield growth to disappoint in Q2 and Q3. Although shares are already trading below their three-year averages, we think the setup is for earnings upside has become less favorable. This is balanced by still strong demand trends and ongoing net yield growth in Q1, suggesting demand remains resilient.

Research Alert: Lpla Q1: Beats On Eps, Misses On Revenue, As Advisory Shift Improves Margins

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:LPLA delivered Q1 2026 results, with revenues surging 35% to $5.94B (missing estimates by $60M) and adj. EPS of $5.60 beating Street estimates by $0.13. The wealth management transformation accelerated with advisory revenue reaching $2.62B (+55%) and advisory assets growing to $1.39T (+42%), now representing 59.5% of total client assets. We believe LPLA's strategic shift toward fee-based services continues creating a more stable revenue base while improving operating leverage, with total advisory and brokerage assets reaching $2.34T (+30%). Management lowered the upper end of its 2026 core G&A outlook by $20M to $2.16B-$2.19B, including Commonwealth-related expenses. The Commonwealth acquisition remains on track for Q4 2026 completion with asset retention targeting 90% and updated run-rate EBITDA of $410M. With corporate cash of $567M and leverage at 1.86x, we expect LPLA maintains substantial financial flexibility for growth initiatives and plans to resume share repurchases with an estimated $125M in Q2 2026.

Research Alert: Roku Inc. Delivered Strong Earnings And Revenue Beat In Q1 2026

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ROKU reported Q1 2026 EPS of $0.57, beating consensus of $0.35. Total revenue was $1.25B, up 22% Y/Y, driven by robust Platform segment growth of 28% Y/Y to $1.13B (91% of total revenue). We think ROKU's strategic focus on enhancing the Roku Experience and content discovery positions the company well, as evidenced by The Roku Channel becoming the #2 most engaged app on the platform and ROKU maintaining its #1 streaming platform position in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Management raised 2026 guidance with total revenue expected at $5.535B and Platform revenue growth of ~21% Y/Y to $5.0B, with Platform gross margins at the high end of the 51%-52% range. We believe ROKU is well-positioned for sustained growth, supported by strong advertising momentum with 27% Y/Y growth to $612.7M and exceptional subscription revenue growth of 30% Y/Y to $518.5M. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with $1.6B in cash, zero debt, and reaffirmed its long-term target of achieving $1B in free cash flow by 2028.

Q2 guidance of $890-910M (midpoint $900M, +11.9% Q/Q) well exceeded $819M consensus. We view the strong results as validation of MPWR's recovery momentum, particularly within Enterprise Data, which accelerated to become the largest segment at 33% of revenue. Management expects stable gross margins while noting hyperscale customer procurement normalization following supplier diversification efforts. The Enterprise Data segment generated $262.8M (+97.7% Y/Y), reflecting AI infrastructure investments and multiple new project wins across regions. Communications also showed robust growth at $111.5M (+55.5% Y/Y), driven by optical modules demand. We believe the margin resilience at 55.5% gross margin demonstrates operational efficiency as MPWR transforms into a comprehensive solutions provider.

User engagement remained robust, with daily active users reaching 132M (+35% Y/Y) and hours engaged surging to 31B (+43% Y/Y), demonstrating deepening platform stickiness.
