Stantec (STN) Stock Forecast and Price Target (2026)
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
There is no meaningful analyst consensus for Stantec (STN): too few analysts publish estimates on it for an average target to mean anything. That is normal for smaller and newer companies and says nothing about the business. What is left is the setup, the drivers and the risks below, which you assess yourself rather than starting from someone else's model. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
Why STN has no consensus price target
Sell-side coverage follows trading volume and banking relationships, so smaller companies, recent listings, and names outside the major indices often carry little or none. That is the situation with STN. It says nothing about the quality of the business, but it does mean there is no informed average to anchor to, and that any single target you find elsewhere is one analyst's model rather than a consensus.
Stantec reports in Canadian dollars while trading in US dollars on the NYSE, so screener figures often mix currencies and should be checked against the company's own releases. The 2026 guide of ~8.5% to ~11.5% net revenue growth with ~17.6% to ~18.2% adjusted EBITDA margin was reaffirmed alongside Q1 results in May 2026. A ~23x trailing multiple against a 52-week range of roughly $66 to $114 shows most of the past year's move came from the multiple, not from the earnings line.
What could move STN from here
In short: the drivers cited most often are Water and wastewater capital cycles, Record backlog converting to billable hours, Acquisitions as a growth engine. The risk cited most often against it is public budgets are the demand curve here, so a funding freeze, an election-driven pause or a slower federal appropriations cycle in the United States shows up as delayed starts and lower utilization.
Both sides are worked through properly, with the high and low targets used as the bull and bear anchors, on the STN is it a buy page. This page deliberately stops at the numbers.

FAQ
What is the price target for Stantec (STN)?

Check your broker's research tab for whatever individual coverage exists.
Why does STN have no analyst forecast?
