CIBC Raises Celestica's Price Target to US$480 From US$425, Reiterates its Outperformer Rating

-- CIBC Capital Markets reiterated its outperformer rating on the shares of Celestica (CLS.TO, CLS) while raising its price target to US$480 from US$425 after the company reported its first-quarter financial results on Monday.

The company's Q1 was in line on supply constraints that are now largely resolved, said CIBC, adding that the company reiterated an "aggressive 2026-2027 ramp-up" including with its key "digital-native" customer, which CIBC believes to be OpenAI.

"A near-term overhang is the narrative around OpenAI potentially overbuilding vs. demand and additional supply chain shortages, which could keep sentiment pressured," said CIBC. "Despite this, with hyperscaler capex visibility improving (GOOGL/META/AMZN) and H2/26 ramp-ups/expansions ahead, we still view guidance/Street as conservative and expect upward estimate drift through 2026 as Q1 prints de-risk capex assumptions."

Celestica's "improved visibility" reflects its leadership in data center networking switches and expanding enterprise server programs, said CIBC, and added it now sees a "clearer multi-year ramp-up for 1.6T networking programs starting in late 2026 and accelerating into 2027, supported by multiple customers and its strategic partners including AVGO."

Celestica's new hyperscaler Ethernet-switch contract win in the quarter, which ramps up in H2/27, also supports this view, added CIBC.

While Q1 was impacted by supply constraints, these have subsided and the company has confidence it can both catch up in subsequent quarters and support demand through 2028, stated CIBC.

"We reiterate our Outperformer rating and frame the selloff as a buy-the-dip setup," said CIBC. "Our updated price target is (US)$480 and is based on a blended valuation of 32x our 2027E EPS forecast (primary) and 24x our 2027E EBITDA forecast (secondary)."

CIBC's target multiples for Celestica reflect "improved visibility to upward revisions in AI datacentre capex spending from significantly improved model performance," added CIBC.

研究快訊:CFRA 將 Penske Automotive Group 股票評等從「賣出」上調至「持有」。

獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下:我們將12個月目標價調高25美元至170美元,以2027年11.8倍的本益比,高於該股10年預期本益比9.8倍。我們將2026年每股收益預期從13.85美元下調至13.40美元,並將2027年每股收益預期從15.00美元下調至14.35美元。然而,我們上調了目標價,並將評級從「賣出」上調至「持有」。今天上午,PAG公佈了第一季調整後每股收益為3.05美元,低於預期的3.59美元(下降15%),高於市場普遍預期的2.88美元。 業績超出預期主要得益於強勁的營收,營收年減1.1%至78.6億美元(比市場預期高出1.5億美元),毛利率下降10個基點至16.5%(比市場預期低10個基點)。儘管我們仍然認為該股估值過高,並且更看好汽車經銷領域的其他公司,但鑑於PAG在國際市場的重要地位,匯率波動為其盈利提供了顯著的利好,使其業績超出市場預期。此外,該公司持續透過股票回購和分紅向股東返還現金,這有助於在需求疲軟的不利因素下支撐每股盈餘。

麥格理認為,隨著霍爾木茲海峽擾動加劇,政府行動將會加強。

麥格理銀行週三表示,霍爾木茲海峽的關閉正在擾亂全球石油流動,並加劇供應短缺和政府乾預的風險。 報告指出,策略師表示,持續的供應中斷可能會促使各國政府採取更積極的干預措施,因為各國都將能源安全放在首位,並應對供應趨緊的問題。 策略師表示,各國政府可以釋放庫存、降低稅收或限制出口,一些國家已經採取了類似中國和泰國的措施來保護國內供應。 麥格理銀行補充道,儘管美國能源部長克里斯·賴特一再否認,但市場仍在評估美國可能實施出口限製或關稅的可能性。 麥格理銀行認為,限制出口會降低美國國內燃油價格,但會收緊歐洲和澳洲等主要進口國的供應,造成更廣泛的市場混亂。 麥格理銀行表示,歐洲正面臨航空燃油供應壓力,因為約40%的航空燃料來自中東,而夏季旅遊需求正開始上升。 麥格理策略師表示,義大利已有四座機場在復活節期間限制了航空燃油的供應,航空公司也在削減獲利能力較弱的航線以應對供應緊張。 麥格理補充道,亞洲各國政府正在實施出口管制、釋放儲備並推出緊急措施,以應對燃油短缺並穩定市場。 策略師指出,各國政府正在實施四天工作制、學校停課和遠距辦公等政策,同時透過政府支持的項目來保障燃油採購。 麥格理表示,儘管政府採取了乾預措施,但由於分銷挑戰依然存在,亞洲部分地區的農村燃油短缺問題依然持續。 策略師表示,中國正在向盟國供應燃油,而泰國正在考慮擴大區域支持範圍,並增加政府間的能源交易。
