Analyst Ratings (Canada)

Today’s analyst updates point to a selective, sector-driven market rather than broad bullishness. There’s a clear positive shift in energy, where multiple companies saw target increases and Buy ratings, signaling rising confidence in earnings and commodity prices.  Cyclical names like forestry and materials cautious sentiment, reflecting economic uncertainty, are highlighted by valuation concerns despite solid fundamentals.

Overall, analysts are rotating toward strength (energy), pulling back on weakening sectors, and becoming more selective rather than uniformly optimistic.
