CAE stock closed at $23.6 on January 31, 2025, down 3.24% during regular trading. Despite a recent downgrade by National Bank to "Sector Perform," the price target was raised to C$38, reflecting optimism about growth in its Civil and Defense segments. However, the stock's premium valuation (24.9x earnings) compared to peers (18-19x) may limit upside in the near term.
