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

Analyst sentiment for today is positive but very selective, led by a strong Financial sector outlook as Barclays Capital raised target prices across major Canadian banks, while TD-Bank suggests some valuation caution. Precious Metals and Mining also remain firmly positive with targets being raised, while Cannabis and Industrials are stable to positive.\u00a0 In contrast, Consumer Discretionary and Travel sectors are weaker, highlighted by the several downgrades,.\u00a0 The overall theme is,\u00a0 investors continue to favour financials and resource stocks while remaining cautious on higher-risk consumer and travel names.<\/p>\n
