RE:AnalystsAnalysts don't act, they react. Example, When Apple was $200 pre 2 splits ie 2008, you could see that based on their growth rate and profitability, the share price was going to be worth much much more. Even so, the US analysts who are certainly more stock pickers than their Cdn counterparts, missed that. (Btw in tech, Apple is most stable). Same thing will happen with Bombardier. Every half year results, the cashflow will increase and the debt/interest burden will go down and targets will be reactively ratcheted up. To his credit, the Desjardins analyst has gone out on a limb, I'm hoping he will be rewarded as being more prescient than his peers (but you never know, there could be an ice storm and even the strong branch might break!).
