Stifel Canada Maintains its Buy Rating on Stantec Following Q4 Results; Price Target Kept at C$173.00

MT Newswires Live02-27

Stifel Canada on Thursday reiterated its buy rating on the shares of Stantec (STN.TO) and its C$173.00 price target following fourth-quarter results from the construction and engineering company.

"Positive 4Q25 results and 2026E guidance, but AI commentary on the conference call will be a key driver of the stock ... Stantec delivered 4Q25 EBITDA that was 4.3% above FactSet consensus and 4.6% above our estimate. Meanwhile, its midpoint 2026E EBITDA guidance of $1,279 mm is 1.7% higher than consensus and EPS guidance of $6.17 exceeds consensus of $6.00 by 2.8%. Guidance for 2026E EBITDA margins of 17.6-18.2% were the positive highlight that led to the modestly higher guide, and it is worth noting that the high end of the guide exceeds its 3-year strategic plan goal of 17-18%. The company will host a conference call at 9 AM EST tomorrow, and we anticipate a broad overview of AI related considerations by management, and that will ultimately decide the stock's direction for the day," analyst Ian Gillies wrote.
