Stantec (STN) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Stantec (STN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Stantec is poised for future growth with improved margins, and management's focus on enhancing project margins and efficient cost management. The company's diversified business segments and strong backlog indicate a stable revenue stream, with the potential for organic growth and strategic M&A opportunities. The company also has a positive outlook on sustainability, with a goal to achieve net-zero transition by 2030 and Science-based net zero commitment by 2050. Additionally, with a current EV/EBITDA of 9.9x for 2027E and a focus on buybacks as a use of capital, Stantec's stock trading at a discounted valuation is a potential opportunity for investors.
Bears say
Stantec is facing a challenging outlook as the company's infrastructure business, which generates the majority of its revenue, may be negatively impacted by a potentially extended transition period for the new surface transportation bill. This has led management to revise the company's price target downwards and reiterate an Outperform rating based on a current valuation of ~14.0x blended 2026/2027 EBITDA forecast of $1,348 million, which is already at a premium to the company's historical and peer average multiples. Despite strong organic growth in sectors such as Water and Energy & Resources, the company will need to actively hire and leverage talent to support operations in order to sustain momentum.
