Tim James has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that point to material upside beyond what is currently reflected in CAE’s valuation. He expects forthcoming long‑term targets to highlight meaningful gains in margins, returns on capital, and overall earnings quality as the company executes its transformation plan.
He sees significant profit expansion from optimizing and relocating flight simulators and shedding non‑core assets, which should lift Civil segment margins, ROCE, and EPS over the next several years. In addition, prospective cyclical tailwinds in both the Civil and Defense businesses, combined with achievable margin and ROCE targets, underpin his conviction that even conservative execution supports a favorable 12‑month outlook for the stock.
James covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as CAE, Bombardier, and Badger Infrastructure Solutions. According to TipRanks, James has an average return of 11.7% and a 57.99% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released on March 13, Canaccord Genuity also upgraded the stock to a Buy with a C$49.00 price target.
