Great-West Lifeco (ISIN CA39138C1068) faces a lower analyst target of CAD 94.00, down from CAD 95.00, while its second-quarter 2026 revenue reached CAD 8.35 billion. According to The Globe and Mail on October 19, 2026, the analyst kept a sector perform view and reduced the target from CAD 95.00 to CAD 94.00.

What does the target cut change?

The adjustment is modest in absolute terms, but it points to a more cautious near-term view of Great-West Lifeco's operating mix. The Globe and Mail cited rising Canadian group insurance claims, moderating profit growth at Empower Wealth and possible quarterly earnings volatility from the Capital and Risk Solutions repositioning.

The target remains above the latest Toronto quotation. Great-West Lifeco closed at CAD 90.02 on the TSX on October 19, 2026, while its market capitalization stood at CAD 80.6 billion. Its 52-week range was CAD 57.56 to CAD 95.96 on that date.

Three events shape the picture

These figures were reported by Simply Wall St. On October 7, 2026, Barclays raised its target from CAD 87.00 to CAD 91.00, according to Stock Analysis. The October 19 target reduction is the latest of the three dated developments.

When does Great-West report next?

Great-West Lifeco's next earnings report is scheduled for November 4, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That release will give investors a fresh test of claims trends, Empower's growth and the company's ability to sustain earnings expansion.
