研究快讯:CFRA维持对雅培公司股票的买入评级

-- 独立研究机构CFRA向提供了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师的观点总结如下:我们维持目标价125美元,相当于2027年每股收益预期值的20倍。我们认为,尽管ABT通过收购Exact Sciences (EXAS)增强了战略产品组合,且拥有强劲的创新研发管线,但这一目标价仍低于ABT的历史平均水平。我们将2026年每股收益预期从5.76美元调整至5.56美元,以计入EXAS收购带来的稀释效应,并维持2027年每股收益预期为6.26美元。ABT在第一季度实现了多项重要的研发管线里程碑,其中包括提前获批并推出两款PFA导管(Volt在美国上市,Duo在欧洲上市)、完成Catalyst左心耳封堵器试验的患者招募,以及利宝利伐沙班(Libre)对接受基础胰岛素治疗的2型糖尿病患者具有积极疗效的试验结果。 我们对EXAS的整合依然持乐观态度,该整合已于3月下旬完成,比预期略早。此次交易使ABT成为美国价值约600亿美元的癌症筛查和精准肿瘤诊断市场的领导者,该市场是医疗保健领域增长最快的细分市场之一。
