01:45 PM EST, 11/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target by CAD3 to CAD94 on an EV/EBITDA of 10.4x our next-12-month EBITDA estimate, a slight premium to its five-year average forward EV/EBITDA of 10.0x. We raise our 2025 EPS view by CAD0.06 to CAD4.77, raise 2026 EPS by CAD0.35 to CAD5.22, and initiate our 2027 EPS at CAD5.67. Our Strong Buy rating reflects CCL's compelling combination of defensive characteristics and attractive valuation in the current uncertain market environment. Q3 posted adjusted EPS of CAD1.21 vs. CAD1.09 in the prior year, beating consensus by 4.0%, with sales increasing 6.3% Y/Y to CAD1,965.9M (+2.5% vs. consensus), driven by 3.7% organic growth and favorable FX translation. Operating income advanced 11.4% Y/Y to CAD321.8M, reflecting broad-based operational improvements across the diversified portfolio. We expect growth in the Checkpoint segment from accelerating adoption of radio frequency identification (RFID) once apparel supply chain disruptions normalize, though RFID growth has moderated in the near term.
