RBC Capital Markets raised its rating on Brookfield Corporation (NYSE:BN) to outperform on Wednesday, setting a new price target of $81.00, up from the previous target of $67.00. The new target represents significant upside from the current price of $57.98, though InvestingPro data shows the stock has already delivered an impressive 41% return over the past year.
The upgrade comes as analyst coverage of the company was assumed by RBC, which cited Brookfield’s long-term track record of compounding capital as a key factor in the decision. RBC described Brookfield as its "top idea" and suggested it should be considered a "core holding" for investors. This aligns with InvestingPro data showing Brookfield’s strong market position with an $88.5 billion market cap and a 29-year track record of consistent dividend payments.
RBC highlighted Brookfield’s substantial liquidity position, noting the company is well-positioned to deploy capital in the current market environment to drive future net asset value growth. This assessment is supported by InvestingPro metrics showing a healthy current ratio of 1.68, indicating strong ability to meet short-term obligations. The firm also pointed to Brookfield’s controlling stake in one of the world’s largest alternative asset managers as a contributor to potential value appreciation.
The investment bank expressed confidence that Brookfield is poised to benefit from increasing carried interest realizations and expansion of its Wealth Solutions business. These factors are expected to enhance the company’s growth trajectory in coming periods.
RBC concluded that Brookfield’s current valuation "provides an attractive entry point into a leading franchise," suggesting the stock may be undervalued relative to its growth prospects and market position.
