The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Feb. 20, edition that ATB Cormark Capital Markets analyst Chris Murray has reaffirmed his "sector perform" recommendation for Aecon Group. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Murray gave his share target a $3 boost to $35. Analysts on average target the shares at $34.75. Mr. Murray says in a note: "We are updating ATB estimates to reflect the expected near-term impact from challenged civil projects combined with the expected margin impact associated with Aecon's evolving project mix. While shares have benefited from enthusiasm surrounding nuclear and a rotation away from AI-linked sectors, valuations have moved notably above typical levels, creating a less favourable setup heading into earnings, particularly with legacy/civil project risk extending into H1/26." The Globe reported on Sept. 17, 2024, that Mr. Murray continued to rate the shares of Aecon Group "outperform." It was then worth $19.69. The Globe reported on Feb. 6, 2026, that Stifel analyst Ian Gillies continued to rate Aecon Group "hold." The shares could then be had for $37.29.
