Investing.com -- RBC Capital Markets analyst James McGarragle released the firm's Q1/26 Flight Deck report on Monday, providing updated estimates for the Canadian aviation and aerospace sectors. While the report highlights robust consumer demand, it notes that "sustained elevated fuel costs remain a key risk" to the industry’s 2026 outlook. The firm maintains an Outperform rating on Air Canada (TSX:AC) but lowered its price target to $22 from $25. McGarragle moved EBITDA estimates below management’s guidance, noting he anticipates the carrier will "implement fare increases in Q2 to recover elevated fuel costs." Bombardier Inc (TSX:BBDb) remains a high-conviction pick with an Outperform rating and a price target raised to $298 from $287. The analyst observed that "bizjet activity was a bright spot" in the first quarter, noting the segment is well-insulated from supply chain pressures. RBC maintains a Sector Perform rating on CAE Inc. (TSX:CAE) while lowering the price target to $42 from $46 to reflect delivery headwinds. McGarragle cited "geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East impacting near-term demand for CAE's civil training solutions" as the primary driver for the lower valuation. Chorus Aviation Inc (TSX:CHR) is identified as the firm’s top idea, carrying an Outperform rating and a price target unchanged at $35. McGarragle emphasized that "Chorus remains our top idea, representing a compelling value opportunity" with management targeting $525 million in free cash flow through 2029. Exchange Income Corporation (TSX:EIF) rounds out the coverage with an Outperform rating and a maintained price target of $133. The analyst pointed to potential upside in the manufacturing segment, specifically noting "defense-aligned capabilities" as a key factor for the company's expected double-digit growth. Despite varied revisions across the sector, McGarragle remains constructive on the long-term fundamental strengths of Canadian aerospace. He concludes that "travel indexes hit highs signalling robust consumer travel demand," which should underpin results as companies navigate a transitory 2026.

Explore Cheer Holding's Fair Values from the Community and select yours The market wasn't impressed with the soft earnings from Cheer Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHR) recently. Our analysis has found some reasons to be concerned, beyond the weak headline numbers. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. In order to understand the potential for per share returns, it is essential to consider how much a company is diluting shareholders. Cheer Holding expanded the number of shares on issue by 18% over the last year. As a result, its net income is now split between a greater number of shares. To talk about net income, without noticing earnings per share, is to be distracted by the big numbers while ignoring the smaller numbers that talk to per share value. Check out Cheer Holding's historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. Unfortunately, Cheer Holding's profit is down 27% per year over three years. Even looking at the last year, profit was still down 38%. Like a sack of potatoes thrown from a delivery truck, EPS fell harder, down 49% in the same period. And so, you can see quite clearly that dilution is influencing shareholder earnings. In the long term, if Cheer Holding's earnings per share can increase, then the share price should too. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving. For the ordinary retail shareholder, EPS is a great measure to check your hypothetical "share" of the company's profit. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Cheer Holding. Over the last year Cheer Holding issued new shares and so, there's a noteworthy divergence between EPS and net income growth. Therefore, it seems possible to us that Cheer Holding's true underlying earnings power is actually less than its statutory profit. Sadly, its EPS was down over the last twelve months. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. If you want to do dive deeper into Cheer Holding, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing. Case in point: We've spo...
