4 hours ago
1054 GMT - Royal Bank of Canada's solid quarter, including a wealth management-driven beat on net interest income, prompts Keefe, Bruyette & Woods to lift its target on the shares to C$324 from C$316. Yet it views the strength of the bank's franchise to be largely reflected in the valuation, with the stock trading at 15.8 times expected fiscal 2027 earnings. It therefore reiterates a market perform call. KBW raises its forecast for fiscal 2026 earnings per share by C$0.40 to C$16.38 and for fiscal 2027 by C$0.45 to C$17.95.
