「Serco被降評!面對盈利壓力與成長困境」




Jefferies將Serco評級下調至「持有」,因盈利壓力及增長有限

Jefferies已將Serco Group(倫敦證券交易所代碼:SRP)的評級從「買入」下調至「持有」,反映出對該公司近期盈利動能的謹慎展望。根據周五的報告,該公共服務提供商的股價在美東時間06:32(格林威治標準時間11:32)下跌了2.4%。

這一決定是基於Serco面臨的多重挑戰,包括來自移民合同和英國國民保險的壓力,這些因素預計將繼續影響公司的業績。Jefferies指出,儘管該公司在美國防務等關鍵市場的定位較強,但大型合同的損失可能不足以抵消這些壓力。

具體而言,失去澳洲移民合同、預期的英國移民服務削減以及美國CMS合同收入的預期下降,將對Serco的利潤產生重大影響。這些挑戰和英國國民保險問題預計將在2025至2026年間造成超過5500萬英鎊的利潤短缺,約佔公司整體利潤的20%。

儘管Serco正在通過降低成本和提高生產力來應對這些挑戰,但Jefferies的分析師表示,公司可能難以達到2025財年的2.6億英鎊利潤指引。事實上,該公司在2024至2026財年之間的預期盈利軌跡大致平穩,預計在此期間將沒有利潤增長。

這一變化與早前的預期形成鮮明對比,分析師現在預計2025至2026財年的每股盈利將下降13-15%,與更廣泛的共識一致。Serco對2025財年的指引也反映了這一低迷的展望,預測有機增長持平,這是在2024財年下降3%的背景下。

儘管這包括來自大型合同損失的顯著挑戰,分析師警告說,圍繞公司合同續約的持續波動性和不確定性使得預測可持續增長的情況變得困難。

雖然Serco擁有價值102億英鎊的可投標合同,但在2024財年,這些合同的中標率已經下降,顯示出2019年以來增長復甦的有限性。Jefferies認為,Serco在未來一年中擁有5億英鎊的多餘資本,這可能在併購方面帶來一些潛在的上行空間。

如果公司選擇追求併購機會,這可能會使每股盈利增加12-15%,特別是如果Serco利用其資產負債表朝著管理層所設定的更高槓桿範圍邊緣移動。

儘管通過併購和回購的增長潛力存在,但近期展望仍然黯淡。基於修訂後的7%自由現金流收益率,新的目標價為175便士,這表明儘管仍有一些上行潛力,但風險回報比卻不再吸引人。

在這篇報道中,Jefferies對Serco的評級調整反映了當前市場環境中的不確定性和挑戰。Serco作為公共服務領域的一個重要參與者,面對的問題不僅僅是短期的合同損失,還涉及到更廣泛的經濟環境和政策變動。這提醒我們在投資時,必須仔細考慮公司面臨的各種外部因素及其長期增長潛力。未來,如何有效管理這些挑戰將成為Serco能否重拾增長的關鍵。

In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement. Prompt (Enhanced, Artistic & Detailed):

A young Asian female inspired by "Imada Mio's" delicate doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉), featuring extraordinarily large, round, and soulful eyes with subtle brown irises, framed by long fluttering lashes. Her face is petite and exquisitely shaped with a defined V-line jaw, soft rosy cheeks flushed with youthful vitality, and plush, natural lips softly parted in a gentle, innocent yet slightly flirtatious expression. Her complexion is luminous and porcelain-smooth.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, and styled in an artfully messy “just woke up” look (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with tousled waves and a touch of natural volume that frames her face and cascades down her shoulders, effortlessly blending wildness and charm.

She wears an oversized, semi-sheer white button-down shirt in a borrowed-from-the-boyfriend style (男友風白襯衫); the shirt slips loosely off her slim shoulders, unbuttoned at the top to reveal graceful collarbones and a hint of décolleté. The hem of the shirt falls mid-thigh, creating a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just visible beneath the diaphanous fabric, enhancing a pure yet subtly sexy visual impact.

The image is rendered with a high-key, natural daylight aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese gravure photobooks (寫真集風格): bright, airy lighting softly illuminates her features, casting gentle highlights and diffuse shadows for a dreamy, ethereal effect. Skin is rendered creamy and velvety with impeccable smoothness. The color palette echoes Fujifilm PRO 400H—soft, milky tones with delicate pastels, gentle greens, natural skin, and a nostalgic film grain that adds warmth and authenticity, evoking an elegant, fresh, and intimate atmosphere.

She is posed naturally, perhaps seated on light bed linens or by a sunlit window, exuding a blend of youthful innocence, pure allure, and quiet confidence. Hyper-detailed, cinematic composition, fine-tuned for photorealism yet with a subtle artistic charm. add mickey mouse
