Analyst Ratings Synthesis

Consensus is Hold, backed by 13 analysts, with a supplied mean target of $84.81; the low and high consensus figures are not available. A separate cited estimate puts the average at $81.96, up from $81.31, with targets ranging from $74.85 to $89.67, while ChartMill reports 19 analysts and an $82.52 average. RBC Capital is the clear most bullish named analyst, with a $117 target set May 28, 2026. The least bullish point is the cited $74.85 low, although its analyst is not identified. Revision evidence is mixed: one average target rose, while Simply Wall St reports a roughly CA$0.60 trim. The substantive disagreement centers on ROE and valuation versus RBC’s much higher upside view.
