CVO: AI Partnerships And Commerce Expansion Will Support Future Repricing

Analysts have trimmed their fair value estimate for Coveo Solutions to about CA$10.01 from CA$11.08, in line with recent cuts to Street price targets into the CA$6 to CA$9 range as they update assumptions on growth, margins and future P/E multiples. Analyst Commentary Bullish analysts are trimming their price targets but still see room for upside compared with where the stock has recently been trading, which keeps the broader research tone constructive despite the headline cuts.

LSPD: Share Repurchases And AI Rollout Will Support Medium Term Repricing

Narrative Update: Lightspeed Commerce Price Target Reset Analysts have lowered the central price target for Lightspeed Commerce to CA$25.00 from CA$29.25, reflecting updated models that factor in softer medium term growth assumptions, lower projected profit margins, a higher discount rate, and a much higher assumed future P/E multiple, alongside mixed views on the impact of recent divestitures and guidance.
