1. CIBC Maintains Hold Rating and Revises Target

On January 29, 2026, CIBC upheld its Neutral rating on CGI, reflecting a hold recommendation for investors. In conjunction with this decision, the bank lowered its 12-month price target from CAD 139 to CAD 132. This update followed CGI’s Annual General Meeting, suggesting that while the firm’s long-term digital transformation pipeline remains intact, near-term upside may be limited by steady revenue growth and ongoing investment in global delivery capabilities.
