What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

RBC Capital and CIBC both reiterate mid range ratings, with RBC keeping a Sector Perform and CIBC a Neutral stance. This signals that, in their view, the shares still reflect a reasonable balance of risk and potential reward. Even after cuts, the revised C$50 target from RBC Capital and C$51 target from CIBC sit close to the current cluster of fair value estimates. This suggests analysts still see support for the stock around the low C$50s.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

RBC Capital trimmed its target from C$56 to C$50, and CIBC moved from C$62 to C$51. This indicates both firms are marking down what they are prepared to pay for the shares based on their latest view of the business. The combination of lower price targets and non bullish ratings from both RBC Capital and CIBC points to ongoing questions about execution and how quickly the company can deliver on its growth and margin ambitions.
