The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Nov. 25, edition that Barclays analyst Brian Morton raised his target prices for Canadian bank stocks on Monday ahead of the start of the sector's earnings season next week. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Morton says in a note: "We expect Canadian Bank 4Q25 earnings to modestly decline sequentially on seasonality though capital markets remains a bright spot. In addition, we look for banks to provide initial 2026 guidance, but with valuations at multi-year highs, it needs to impress. Concerns remain on NBFI and mortgage." Mr. Morton raised his share target for Bank of Montreal to $177 from $157. He rates BMO "equal weight." Analysts on average target the shares at $175.85. Mr. Morton continues to rate Bank of Nova Scotia "equal weight," while hiking his share target to $95 from $86. Analysts on average target Scotiabank shares at $90.31. Mr. Morton continues to rate CIBC "underweight," boosting his share target to $119 from $106. Analysts on average target the shares at $115.87.
