What Wall Street Has Been Saying \ud83d\udc02 Bullish Takeaways <\/p>\n

Several firms have been raising their price targets on Toronto Dominion Bank into the mid CA$130s to high CA$140s, with RBC Capital moving to CA$148, BMO Capital to CA$144, Scotiabank to CA$142, and Raymond James to CA$138, suggesting more constructive views on valuation relative to prior assumptions.<\/p>\n

RBC Capital highlighted results that were stronger than its forecasts across most segments, with total revenues, credit loss provisions, and non interest expenses all coming in better than expected. This supports the case for more confidence in execution.<\/p>\n

Scotiabank and Raymond James have upgraded or reiterated positive stances around the same time that they refreshed multi year estimates. They point to perceived potential in cost reduction efforts and earnings power as their models are updated.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc3b Bearish Takeaways <\/p>\n

CIBC has taken a more cautious stance, downgrading the stock and maintaining a Neutral rating alongside a CA$140 target. This signals concerns around earnings quality or risk that are not fully captured by more optimistic targets.<\/p>\n

Barclays has twice raised its target, from CA$118 to CA$133 and then to CA$135, but continues to rate the stock Underweight, suggesting that, in its view, valuation already reflects much of the upside embedded in its forecasts.<\/p>\n
