Scotiabank raises CAE price target to $41 on margin recovery and restructuring progress

Scotiabank raised its price target on CAE Inc. to C$57 from C$49 and maintained an Outperform rating, citing growing confidence in the company's strategic transformation and margin recovery. The revision follows operational improvements and balance sheet progress through restructuring initiatives. The Montreal-based simulation and training technology company reported Q3 revenue of C$1.25 billion, up from C$1.22 billion year-over-year. Its Defence division achieved an adjusted segment operating margin above 10% for the first time in over six years. CAE is pursuing divestitures of non-core assets representing approximately 8% of revenue and plans to reduce its commercial airline simulator fleet by roughly 10%. Whilst these measures may affect near-term revenue, they are expected to enhance long-term profitability and cash flow resilience.

CAE posts C$1.25B revenue, cuts civil outlook but lifts defense guidance to 20% growth

CAE posted what executives called a "solid" third quarter, with consolidated revenue of CAD 1.25 billion (up 2% year-on-year), adjusted segment operating income of CAD 195.8 million (up 3%), and adjusted EPS of CAD 0.34. The company generated strong operating cash flow of CAD 407.6 million and reduced net debt to approximately CAD 2.8 billion. Results diverged across segments. Civil revenue fell 5% to CAD 717.2 million with training utilisation at 71%, prompting management to lower full-year guidance to a mid-single-digit decline. Defence revenue rose 14% to CAD 534.9 million, with guidance raised to 20% year-on-year growth. Management launched a multi-year transformation plan including potential divestiture of non-core assets representing 8% of revenue, rationalising roughly 10% of commercial simulators over 12-24 months, and implementing GenAI-enabled shared services for finance and HR functions.
