Dye & Durham stock (CA2674881040) faces a lower BMO Capital target of CAD 1.25, cut from CAD 3.50 on October 1, 2026. The reset followed fiscal 2026 results that showed improving quarterly margins alongside weaker full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA.
Leadership and reporting chronology
On June 23, 2026, Dye & Durham announced a CEO transition. On August 31, 2026, the company concluded its transformation committee and appointed Todd Schulte interim CEO and Angela Zhang chair of the board, according to the investor-relations page.
On September 29, 2026, Dye & Durham reported results for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2026. That sequence puts the analyst target reset after both an operating transition and the latest annual report.
What did fiscal 2026 show?
Revenue for fiscal 2026 was CAD 410.7 million, down 7 percent from fiscal 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was CAD 198.8 million, down 15 percent, while the adjusted EBITDA margin was 48 percent compared with 53 percent in fiscal 2025.
The fourth quarter offered a more constructive operating comparison. Revenue was CAD 104.2 million, down 1 percent year over year on a reported basis, but rose 4 percent excluding the Credas disposal. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15 percent to CAD 55.1 million, or 18 percent excluding Credas, and the margin expanded to 53 percent from 45 percent.
What does the target reset mean?
Yahoo Finance reported on October 3, 2026 that BMO Capital cut its target from CAD 3.50 to CAD 1.25 while keeping a Market Perform rating. The same report said CIBC reduced its target from CAD 4.00 to CAD 2.50 and maintained a Neutral rating.
The lower targets put execution and balance-sheet repair at the center of the investment case. Dye & Durham reported CAD 153.4 million of operating cash flow in fiscal 2026, while loans and borrowings plus convertible debentures stood at approximately CAD 1.28 billion at June 30, 2026.
Markets Insider reported on October 1, 2026 that Raymond James maintained a Hold rating with a CAD 1.75 target. The combination of a CAD 1.25 BMO target, a CAD 1.75 Raymond James target and a CAD 2.50 CIBC target shows how sharply valuation assumptions now differ from the earlier CAD 3.50 to CAD 4.00 range.
Debt and margin remain central
Dye & Durham achieved CAD 20.0 million in annualized run-rate cost savings during fiscal 2026, according to the company. That savings figure and the 53 percent fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin provide the clearest operating counterweight to the 15 percent full-year adjusted EBITDA decline.
