Analyst Ratings (Canada)<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Canadian analyst sentiment remains generally positive, with the strongest conviction in energy, industrials, infrastructure, seniors housing, and AI\/data-centre-related stocks, which saw continued supportive ratings driven by solid earnings power and infrastructure\/AI spending trends. Financials and insurers stayed constructive but with slightly tempered upside as valuation and normalization concerns led to some target reductions. Precious metals also remained favored, with bullish views on gold producers amid ongoing macro uncertainty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
