Stantec stock (ISIN CA85472N1096) closed at USD 67.45 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, after gaining 0.46 percent from the prior close of USD 67.14. The latest analyst snapshot places the average 12-month target at USD 175, giving the engineering and construction group a valuation debate centered on execution rather than a new price move.
Analysts set USD 175 target
According to MarketBeat on October 1, 2026, seven research firms assigned Stantec a Moderate Buy consensus, with five buy ratings and two holds. The average target of USD 175 stands USD 107.55 above the October 2 closing price, a 159.4 percent premium calculated against USD 67.45.
The target picture is not uniformly positive. MarketBeat reported that Scotia reduced its target from C$133 to C$129 on August 14, 2026, while Royal Bank of Canada cut its target from C$148 to C$146 on the same date. Those Canadian-dollar targets are separate from the USD 175 consensus quoted for the NYSE listing.
Q2 earnings beat EPS consensus
Stantec's Q2 2026 results delivered adjusted earnings of USD 1.16 per share against USD 1.15 consensus, a USD 0.01 beat, while revenue reached USD 1.25 billion versus USD 1.26 billion expected, according to MarketBeat in its October 1, 2026 report on the company.
Management's fiscal 2026 EPS guidance is USD 4.37-4.49, while the analyst estimate cited by MarketBeat is USD 4.46. The narrow gap between the guidance midpoint of USD 4.43 and the consensus forecast leaves the next reporting cycle as the key test for whether the target premium can be supported by profit delivery.
Stock trades near yearly low
At USD 67.45, Stantec stock sits USD 0.81 above its 52-week low of USD 66.26 and USD 47.07 below its 52-week high of USD 114.52, both as of October 2, 2026. Trading volume was 311,692 shares and market capitalization was USD 7.7 billion on that date.
Yahoo Finance lists November 12, 2026, as Stantec's next earnings date in its October 2, 2026 market snapshot. For investors, the central checkpoint is whether the USD 4.37-4.49 fiscal-year guidance range can narrow the distance between the USD 67.45 market price and the USD 175 analyst consensus target.
