RE:Power Corporation National Bank of Canada on Thursday cut Power Corp. of Canada (POW.TO)'s price target to $38.00 from $39.00 with a sector perform rating.
The reduced priced target reflects Power Corp.'s adjusted EPS of $0.63 in the third quarter that missed the Street estimate of $0.89 and the bank's forecast of $1.03.
The bank said the miss was driven by the company's weaker contributions from operations and negative returns on the alternatives segment.
