Bristol-Myers Squibb Poised for In-Line Q1 Amid One-Off Volatility, RBC Says

Bristol-Myers Squibb's (BMY) Q1 results are expected to come in line with consensus, but weaker oncology sales and one-off factors are likely to give way to volatility, RBC Capital Markets said Friday in a note.The investment firm said the quarter will be difficult to model due to volatility from destocking patterns, tough year-over-year comparisons, policy impacts and generic phasing dynamics.RBC said it estimates the company to report Q1 revenue of $10.75 billion and earnings of $1.42 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expect $1.42 in non-GAAP EPS, $1.17 in GAAP EPS and $10.87 billion in revenue.Investor focus during the quarterly call will be on the company's upcoming trial results, particularly late-stage data for drug candidates milvexian and cobenfy, which are key to determining when Bristol-Myers returns to growth.Bristol-Myers will report Q1 results on April 30.RBC has a sector perform rating and price target of $60 on the stock.Price: $58.62, Change: $-0.85, Percent Change: -1.44%

Rollins Seen Facing Softer Q1 Growth on Weather Impact, UBS Says

Rollins (ROL) is expected to deliver softer growth in Q1 given choppier weather conditions early in the quarter, UBS Securities said Friday in a note.The choppier first half of Q1 may impact overall growth somewhat, but retention for existing customers is expected to remain strong, with pricing also seeing very little pushback, according to the note.UBS highlighted lower digital advertising spend in early Q1 which suggests a delayed seasonal ramp that could reflect weather conditions and competitive activity.The brokerage estimates Q1 organic growth of 5.9%, down from a prior estimate of 6.7%. The firm now expects Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $188 million, down from $190 million and slightly ahead of the Street estimate of $187 million.UBS said a second consecutive weaker growth quarter from a company that has historically been a high-quality compounder could be somewhat challenging from a narrative perspective, especially as Rentokil shows signs of stabilizing growth.The brokerage expects Rollins to reaffirm the 7% to 8% organic growth guidance for 2026. It lowered its 2026 organic growth estimate to 7.1% from 7.3% and reduced its 2026 EPS estimate to $1.22 from $1.25 and its 2027 EPS estimate to $1.32 from $1.35.UBS has a neutral rating on Rollins and lowered its price target to $58 from $62.Price: $54.57, Change: $-1.23, Percent Change: -2.20%
