Life Time Set for Strong Q1 Comparable Club Growth, UBS Says

By

-- Life Time (LTH) is expected to post robust comparable club growth in Q1, with slightly better-than-expected revenue and EBITDA, as investors focus on concerns around member growth metrics per center and spending trends in a softer macro environment, UBS Securities said Friday.

Ahead of the company's Q1 results on Tuesday, the investment firm said it sees upside to its Q1 EBITDA estimate of $215 million and expects comparable club revenue growth of about 7% to 7.5%.

UBS said the key investor debate centers on whether the company can sustain growth in revenue per member and overall club economics amid pressure on consumer spending.

The brokerage also noted that Life Time could continue repurchasing stock from sponsors, helping reduce overhang, while keeping leverage below its 2x target.

UBS has a buy rating on the stock, with a price target of $43.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Exxon Mobil Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target of $167, up $1, reflects EV/EBITDA and DCF analyses. We apply an 8.2x multiple of EV to est. 2027 EBITDA - above XOM's historical forward average but below peak levels - yielding $125 per share. Our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5.6% per year, terminal growth of 2.5%, discounted at a WACC of 5.9%, yields $209 per share. We cut our 2026 EPS estimate by $1.43 to $9.21 and 2027's by $0.66 to $8.07. XOM's upstream production fell 8.2% sequentially in Q1, notably in Asia, where liquids production was down 21% and natural gas production was down 31%. Some of that decline is due to damage to Qatar LNG installations that have been damaged and are likely to take three to five years to restore to pre-war condition. Absent those issues as well as Winter Storm Fern, XOM noted that its upstream production would have grown 8% in Q1. We see ongoing strength in downstream margins, but the main catalysts should be volume recovery in Asia and crude oil prices.

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Buy Rating On Shares Of Crane Company

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target to $235 from $220 following CR's Q1 earnings print, valuing shares at 30x our 2027 EPS outlook of $7.85 (in line with previous forecast; 2026 EPS estimate revised to $6.85 from $6.70). We continue to see upside in shares as OEM sales pick up, along with improving aircraft production rates and as CR leverages its solid balance sheet to acquire and integrate attractive M&A targets (leverage ratio ~1.4x). The Aerospace continued to see strong order flows, with core backlog rising 14% Y/Y as a direct result. Commercial aftermarket sales were a point of concern in Q1 given the spike in oil prices, though we believe growth will eventually reaccelerate in this market given still-elevated utilization rates of aging fleets. Growth in Process Flow Tech was muted in Q1, though organic orders were encouraging as growth markets (pharma, cyro, power generation) support overall demand. We reiterate our Buy opinion on CR shares.
