Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Domino's Pizza, Inc.

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We lower our 12-month target price by $66 to $355, 19x our 2026 EPS estimate (from 23x), a discount to its 25x three-year average, reflecting ongoing competitive and macroeconomic risks to earnings growth. We raise our 2026 EPS to $18.65 from $18.29 and lower 2027's to $19.45 from $19.74, reflecting low single-digit U.S. comp growth and mid-single-digit operating income growth. We reiterate our Hold opinion given softer carryout (+2.4% Y/Y) and delivery sales (-0.3% Y/Y) along with expanded promotional activity, offset by strong unit growth (+180 net stores) and 20% operating margins that reinforce DPZ's long-term competitive position. We raised our 2026 EPS estimate on better-than-expected margin stability despite promotional activity, though our estimates remain roughly 5% below consensus. We believe increased direct value competition with non-pizza QSR competitors on aggregator channels could limit recovery in DPZ's delivery channel growth, representing a headwind to the company's long-term growth algorithm.

Research Alert: Bio: Q1 Results Above Estimates Despite Meaningful Sales/margin Compression

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:BIO delivered Q1 results showing pressure across both segments, with revenue of $592.1M growing 1.1% Y/Y (~$3M above consensus) but declining 4.2% currency neutral. Adjusted EPS of $1.89 fell 25.6% Y/Y yet beat consensus by $0.10, while operating margin deteriorated 420 bps to 6.6% from 10.8% in the prior year. Both Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics segments experienced currency neutral declines due to ongoing academia weakness and Middle East conflicts. Management lowered 2026 guidance, expecting currency neutral revenue of -3.0% to +0.5% growth (down from +0.5% to +1.5%) and operating margin of 10.0%-12.0% (vs. prior 12.0%-12.5%). Despite operational headwinds, BIO maintained strong cash generation with $78.1M in FCF and repurchased ~176K shares. The company's balance sheet remains healthy, with $1.56B in cash and short-term investments, providing financial flexibility amid challenging market conditions, in our view.

Research Alert: Gddy: Strong Profitability Metrics Offset By Continued Revenue Headwinds

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:GDDY posted Q1 2026 revenue of $1.2B (+6%), in line with consensus, with EPS of $1.60 beating estimates of $1.52 despite booking deceleration to +2.7% from +5% in Q4. A&C segment growth of +11.6% to $498M showed resilience but continued moderating, while Core Platform remained sluggish at +2.8%. We view booking weakness as concerning given competitive pressures and small business spending constraints that raise questions about growth sustainability. Management reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $5.195B-$5.275B (~6% growth), reflecting limited visibility into booking improvement. However, we see encouraging AI monetization signs with ARPU growth of +9.3% to $246 and Airo AI Builder achieving multi-million dollar annualized bookings within weeks of beta launch. We believe GDDY's impressive margin expansion with NEBITDA margins reaching 32.6% (+210 bps) demonstrates operational discipline, though sustaining A&C growth above 10% remains critical for investor confidence.
