08:01 AM EDT, 05/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- RBC Capital Markets raised its price target on National Bank of Canada (NTIOF) to $214 from $180 on Thursday.

Analyst Darko Mihelic maintained a Sector Perform rating on shares of the Canadian bank following its quarterly results.

"Core EPS was above our estimate primarily due to lower than expected PCLs," Mihelic said in a note to clients.

"Results were stronger than anticipated in Corporate, Capital Markets, and USSF&I, partially offset by weaker Canada P&C results," the analyst said.

"We model higher core EPS growth in H2/26 versus NA's guidance of in line with YTD growth though we have lower conviction in our estimate now that NA gave such guidance," Mihelic said. "We believe YTD core EPS growth can be exceeded if PCLs remain stable and expenses are moderating."

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
