Scotiabank raises Colliers International stock price target to $185 on valuation upside

Investing.com - Scotiabank raised its price target on Colliers International (NASDAQ:CIGI) to $185.00 from $170.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Sector Outperform rating on the real estate services company. The stock, currently trading at $166.92, has shown remarkable momentum with a 36% gain over the past six months. According to InvestingPro analysis, Colliers appears overvalued at current levels, despite its strong market performance.

The $15 increase in the price target is based on a higher 2026 estimated EV/EBITDA multiple of 14.5x, representing a 1.0x increase from the previous valuation model.

Scotiabank noted that Colliers’ EV/EBITDA multiple has expanded by approximately 2 turns year-to-date, similar to competitor CBRE, and the firm expects another 1 turn multiple expansion ahead.

The bank cited the current "synchronized easing phase" as supportive of valuation multiple expansion for the sector.

On a relative basis, Scotiabank pointed out that Colliers is trading at a 1.7x turn discount to CBRE , which it described as "the worst spread in the last ten years," noting that historically, Colliers has traded at a small premium to its closest competitor.
