Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Calian Group ( (TSE:CGY) ) just unveiled an update.

Calian Group opened fiscal 2026 with record quarterly revenue of $208 million, up 12% year over year, driven equally by 6% organic growth and 6% from acquisitions such as Advanced Medical Solutions and InField Scientific. Strength in Defence & Space and Essential Industries, alongside a richer product mix, lifted gross margin to 34.1% and pushed adjusted EBITDA up 28% to $23 million, expanding margins and turning last year’s net loss into a $5.1 million profit.

Operating free cash flow rose to $15.8 million, enabling $2 million in capex, $18 million for acquisitions and earnouts, and $3 million in dividends, while keeping net debt to adjusted EBITDA at 1.2x and preserving balance-sheet flexibility. With $171 million in new contract signings, a $1.4 billion backlog and a new initiative via Calian Ventures to accelerate Canadian C5ISRT defence capabilities, the company is reinforcing its position in defence and space and signaling continued investment-led growth for shareholders and domestic defence stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CGY) stock is a Buy with a C$74.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Calian Group stock, see the TSE:CGY Stock Forecast page.
