- Stella-Jones Inc (TSX:SJ) (OTC:STLJF) price target has been lowered to C$40 from C$43 by RBC Capital analyst Walter Spracklin.
- The analyst maintained the Sector Perform rating on the shares.
- Spracklin stated that SJ started the year strong, with Q1 results ahead of expectations and a better than expected top-line across all segments.
- However, the company did not increase its 2022 or 3-year targets, Spracklin added.
- The analyst claims that the general market uncertainty has created a higher overall equity risk premium, and he has moderated the target multiple accordingly.
- Spracklin sees SJ as a solid (less-cyclical) company with attractive underlying trends.
- Price Action: SJ shares are trading lower by 0.67% at C$34.27 on TSX on the last check Thursday.
