AG Growth International Inc: National Bank of Canada reduced its 12 month target price on AG Growth International to C$37 from C$49, citing a weaker outlook for the agricultural sector and rising commercial uncertainty. Analysts noted that softer farm economics, driven by lower crop prices, reduced farmer spending, and cautious sentiment across global agriculture markets are expected to moderate demand for AGI’s grain handling and storage equipment. Also volatility in commercial project activity and slower decision-making among customers are contributing to a more subdued growth outlook. Together, these factors led the bank to temper its expectations for the company’s near-term performance.
Stock Forecast
Technical indicators currently classify the stock as a “Strong Sell”, reflecting persistent downward momentum and a bearish trend in the price action. Analysts maintain a consensus “Neutral” rating on the stock suggesting they see neither compelling reasons to buy nor significant concerns that would warrant selling the stock. Despite the weak technical picture, the consensus target price of $41.00 per share, implies substantial upside of approximately 98%, highlighting a notable disconnect between short-term market sentiment and longer-term analyst expectations.
