The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Aug. 8, edition that Scotia Capital analyst Konark Gupta continues to rate Chorus Aviation "sector perform." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Gupta gave his share target a 50-cent boost to $24. Analysts on average target the shares at $28.32. Mr. Gupta says in a note: "Q2 results were largely in line and management maintained guidance, adjusted for FX noise in CPA. We are encouraged to see that Chorus continues to redeploy excess capital following the third-party leasing business sale into shareholder-friendly initiatives such as deleveraging and share buybacks, while also most recently reinstating a quarterly dividend (eight cent/sh) and announcing a small tuck-in M&A. Still, we remain neutral on the stock given our poor visibility on earnings inflection, considering CPA's weight in consolidated EBITDA."
