MarketBeat also reported a 15.48 percent return on equity and a 12.49 percent net margin for the quarter. Those figures give the analyst target a stronger operating backdrop than a price move alone would provide.

Analyst targets stretch above the price

UBS kept a Buy rating while lifting its Great-West Lifeco target to CAD 101.00, Benzinga reported on October 6, 2026. Against the TSX last price of CAD 89.07 on October 6, 2026, that target is 13.39 percent above the Canadian quote.

MarketBeat said Evercore moved its rating to Hold on October 1, 2026, while the broader analyst group retained a Moderate Buy consensus. Its reported target range of CAD 95.00 to CAD 107.00 places the latest UBS target inside the wider analyst band.

November results set the next test
