The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Nov. 28, edition that ATB Capital Markets analyst Tim Monachello has reaffirmed his "outperform" call for CES Energy Solutions. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Monachello gave his share target a $2 boost to $14. Analysts on average target the shares at $12.70. Mr. Monachello says in a note: "On November 26, 2025, ATB Capital Markets hosted Ken Zinger, president and CEO, and Anthony (Tony) Aulicino, CFO, for a desk presentation. The conversation highlighted the significance of the growth opportunities CES Energy is tracking for 2026 and beyond. Most notably, we believe CES's recent success in the offshore Gulf of Mexico production chemicals market has provided entry to previously unavailable opportunities in both the Gulf and in high-margin onshore production chemicals applications in the Canadian heavy/thermal oil market and scale opportunities in the US onshore production chemicals market, including a recent RFP win (announced with Q3/25 results) that management expected to contribute up to roughly 10 per cent y/y EBITDA growth in 2026. ... Overall, management believes it is facing among the most optimistic growth outlooks in company history."
