Market sentiment
Sentiment has deteriorated after the earnings disappointment and sharp sell-off; focus has shifted to execution risk in the transformation plan and weaker Civil segment profitability, partly offset by the renewed buyback program.
Why this signal
The outsized negative price reaction and multiple target-price cuts point to higher uncertainty around near-term earnings and margins. While the NCIB and transformation plan can be supportive, investors likely need evidence of delivery (cost savings/free cash flow) before a clear add/reduce call; hence the signal moves to NEUTRAL.
Wait/reassess: hold only if you can tolerate higher execution risk and monitor Q1 FY2027 for margin stabilization and tangible progress on savings; otherwise consider trimming into strength.
