(AIF:CA)<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Analyst Update<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"626\"><strong data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"313\">Scotiabank has increased its 12-month price target for Altus Group Ltd\u00a0 to C$63 from C$53<\/strong>, citing growing investor optimism following the company&#8217;s confirmation of a <strong data-start=\"390\" data-end=\"418\">strategic review process<\/strong>. The review includes exploring various options to maximize shareholder value, notably the possibility of a <strong data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"565\">full or partial sale of the company<\/strong>, as interest from potential acquirers begins to materialize.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"683\">Strategic Review Sparks Valuation Reassessment<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"1069\">Altus Group confirmed in early August that it had launched a formal strategic review process, a move widely interpreted by analysts as a signal the company may be seeking buyers. The decision came amid reports that <strong data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"993\">private equity firms and strategic buyers have expressed unsolicited acquisition interest<\/strong>, prompting the company to explore its strategic alternatives more actively.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1071\" data-end=\"1570\">Scotiabank&#8217;s revised target reflects the view that a potential deal\u2014if executed\u2014could occur at a <strong data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1189\">premium valuation<\/strong> to the current share price. The bank also pointed to Altus&#8217;s enhanced business profile and cleaner balance sheet following the <strong data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1361\">divestiture of its Property Tax division<\/strong>, which was sold earlier in 2025 for approximately <strong data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1429\">C$700 million<\/strong>. The transaction provided Altus with added financial flexibility and has positioned it more attractively in the eyes of potential acquirers.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2104\">Implications for Investors<\/h3>\n<div class=\"_tableContainer_1rjym_1\">\n<div class=\"_tableWrapper_1rjym_13 group flex w-fit flex-col-reverse\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<p data-start=\"78\" data-end=\"432\"><strong data-start=\"78\" data-end=\"105\">Balance Sheet Strength:<\/strong><br data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"108\" \/>Following the recent divestiture of its Property Tax business, Altus Group now holds a significant amount of cash and has substantially reduced its financial leverage. This stronger balance sheet enhances the company\u2019s flexibility and capacity to pursue various strategic options, including potential acquisitions or a sale.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"787\"><strong data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"453\">Business Focus:<\/strong><br data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"456\" \/>Altus is increasingly concentrating on its high-margin and rapidly growing Analytics and Software segments. This strategic shift towards scalable, technology-driven offerings not only improves the company\u2019s profitability but also makes it more appealing to potential buyers who value recurring revenue streams and growth potential.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1569\"><strong data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1193\">Market Sentiment:<\/strong><br data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1196\" \/>The combination of rising price targets from multiple analysts and the company\u2019s confirmation of a strategic review has fostered a bullish market sentiment around Altus Group\u2019s stock. However, it is important to note that while the speculation around a potential sale is driving optimism, no definitive transaction has yet been announced, and the outcome remains uncertain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 data-start=\"2785\" data-end=\"2797\">Outlook<\/h3>\n<p>Scotiabank raised its price target on Altus Group to C$63 due to growing optimism fueled by the company\u2019s strategic review and acquisition interest, improved financials after selling its Property Tax business, and a strong focus on scalable analytics and software. Although no deal is confirmed, investor interest in Altus\u2019s strategic direction remains high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Altus Group Ltd.
