Stifel分析師下調Baxter International評級至「持有」並削減目標價,原因是營運挑戰持續及短期缺乏穩定增長催化劑

Stifel分析師將Baxter International Inc(紐約證券交易所代碼:BAX)的評級由「買入」降至「持有」,並將目標價由36美元下調至25美元,主要基於公司持續面對的營運困難及短期內缺乏推動持續增長的明顯動力。

分析師指出,儘管Baxter透過組合轉型和效率提升取得了一些正面進展,但第二季業績表現令人失望,加上全年指引下調,令2026年的前景蒙上陰影。

Stifel特別提到,新任CEO Andrew Hider將於九月上任,他將面對多重挑戰,包括解決NOVUM大型輸液泵的問題、醫院靜脈注射溶液的節約措施,以及患者入院人數低於預期等問題。

這些因素對公司核心的輸液療法及技術部門在第二季造成壓力。

分析師表示:「我們認為BAX正處於一個較長時間的轉型期,儘管當前估值看似便宜,但股價可能會維持區間波動。」

Baxter第二季收入為28.1億美元,略低於預期,同時毛利率及營運利潤率均低於市場共識。每股盈利0.59美元亦未達分析師預測,儘管公司享有較低的稅率優惠。

Stifel表示,市場仍需觀察在Hider領導下,公司戰略執行的更明確跡象,以及能否達成持續4%至5%銷售增長的路徑。

評論與深入分析

Baxter的現況反映了許多傳統醫療器械巨頭在轉型過程中面對的困境。雖然公司正在努力透過產品組合調整和提升營運效率來應對市場變化,但短期內的業績壓力和不確定性仍然明顯。新CEO Andrew Hider肩負重任,他不僅要解決技術和產品層面的問題,更需重振市場信心,推動公司走出業績疲軟的泥淖。

值得注意的是,醫療行業的創新和市場需求變化快速,尤其是在疫情後,醫院資源配置和患者流量的波動對企業營收帶來較大影響。Baxter若想在未來幾年實現穩健增長,必須加快創新步伐,並更靈活地應對醫療環境的變化。

此外,Stifel的評級調降反映出市場對Baxter短期前景的謹慎態度,但也意味著投資者若能耐心等待,或許能在股價回穩後捕捉到價值回升的機會。對於投資者而言,關注管理層的策略執行力和新產品線的市場反響將是關鍵。

總結來說,Baxter正處於一個關鍵的轉型期,未來能否成功轉型並實現持續增長,將取決於其能否有效解決現有問題並抓住醫療行業的新機遇。投資者在決定是否介入前,應密切留意公司未來幾季的表現及管理層的戰略調整。

Highly detailed, artistic illustration of two cats sitting together on the bustling Nathan Road in Hong Kong. One cat is a sleek black feline with emerald green eyes, the other is a fluffy ginger tabby with white paws. They are perched near the neon-lit storefronts and glowing billboards, surrounded by vibrant city life: crowds of people, bright taxis, and street vendors selling local food. The scene is alive with colorful reflections on rain-slicked pavement, atmospheric mist, and dramatic lighting from neon signs in Chinese characters. The artistry should blend urban realism with a touch of whimsical charm, focusing on the cats' expressive faces and the dynamic ambiance of Nathan Road at night. A low-angle, wide-lens street shot in a bustling cityscape (similar to Shibuya, Tokyo). A young woman crouches confidently beside a modified, glossy purple sports car with a Japanese license plate. She wears a black graphic tee, cargo pants, white sneakers, and silver jewelry. The background features tall glass skyscrapers, colorful billboards, neon signage, and warm late-afternoon lighting. Strong perspective distortion emphasizes the height of the buildings and the car’s aggressive stance. The mood is stylish, bold, and modern, capturing urban automotive culture with a cinematic, hyper-real aesthetic. High detail, high contrast, crisp reflections, editorial fashion vibe, dynamic street energy. [Enhanced Artistic Prompt]

A highly detailed portrait of a young Asian woman inspired by the delicate, doll-like beauty of Imada Mio (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large, round, luminous eyes with a deep, expressive gaze, a petite V-shaped face, full rosy cheeks, and porcelain-soft skin. Her expression is a captivating blend of innocence, youthful energy, and subtle flirtation, capturing an aura of pure allure.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, with natural volume and texture—slightly tousled in an artful, “just woke up” messy style (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with soft strands falling over her face and shoulders. She wears an oversized, semi-translucent white button-down boyfriend shirt (男友風白襯衫), loosely draped and unbuttoned at the top, elegantly revealing her collarbones and creating a “bottomless” fashion look (下衣失蹤風格) with a sense of relaxed intimacy.

The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of a contemporary Japanese Gravure photobook (寫真集風格), evoking both pure charm and subtle sensuality (Pure & Sexy vibe). Use bright, high-key natural lighting to create a soft, ethereal glow, with smooth, radiant skin texture. Emphasize pastel color grading and gentle film grain, referencing the signature look of Fujifilm PRO 400H for a dreamy, cinematic finish. Compose the image artistically, focusing on beauty, mood, and expressive detail, as if captured in a candid, intimate moment.

— full body or mid-length portrait, shallow depth of field, delicate highlights, softly blurred minimalist background, inviting eyes, tasteful and elegant composition.
