CFRA Maintains Strong Buy Recommendation On Shares Of Asml Holding N.v.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows: We raise our 12-month target by $118 to $849, 29.5x our ’25 EPS view, near ASML’s three-year average two-year forward multiple (~29.4x), as we shift our focus from ’24 to ’25. We lower our ’24 EPS estimate to EUR19.65 from EUR19.88 and increase ’25’s view to EUR26.15 from EUR25.56 as we budget in a bit more softness in early ’24, followed by an acceleration toward the end of the year and solid strength in ’25 as new technologies like gate-all-around are introduced in higher volumes. We see Chinese demand pulling back to start ’24 as export restrictions take hold, but we expect demand for ASML’s one-of-a-kind systems to be picked up by other countries as the global race for advanced semiconductor technology continues. We note ASML’s backlog […]

FedEx Express Challenges Seen Persisting in Second Half, UBS Says

FedEx’s (FDX) express business is expected to see continued headwinds in the second half of fiscal 2024, though freight and ground should support the company’s earnings, UBS Securities said Wednesday. Late Tuesday, the parcel delivery giant projected a drop in full-year sales after its fiscal second-quarter results missed Wall Street estimates amid demand headwinds. The express segment’s operating income fell due to lower revenue, which was driven by volume declines, lower fuel surcharges and reduced demand surcharges, according to the company. UBS said the revenue and margin performance of the express segment was worse than the firm’s expectations. The brokerage lowered its full-year per-share earnings estimate for FedEx to $17.60 from $18.50 amid “weaker” express margin performance, analysts Thomas Wadewitz, Michael DiMattia and Michael Triano said in a note. FedEx shares were down nearly 11% in Wednesday late-afternoon trade. The demand backdrop continues to be “difficult,” Chief Executive Raj Subramaniam

CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Fedex Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows: Our 12-month target price of $263, cut by $6, reflects a 12x multiple of our revised FY 25 (May) EPS estimate, about in line with FDX’s historical forward average. We cut our FY 24 (May) EPS estimate by $0.69 to $17.69 and FY 25’s by $0.50 to $21.92. FQ2 operating EPS of $3.99 vs. $3.18, missed the consensus view by $0.21. Volumes were light, a continuation of demand headwinds seen in FQ1, but worse than FDX had expected. Updated FDX guidance for FY 24 indicates a revenue outlook that is slightly worse than before. Notably, FDX sees revenues down low-single digits in FY 24 rather than flat, and may reflect some higher competitive pressure from the U.S. Postal Service, as it shifts toward ground shipments rather than
