Imperial Oil stock: CIBC raises target but keeps Underperformer

- CIBC retained its Underperformer rating while lifting its target for Imperial Oil.
- The revised target remained below the November 11 closing price cited in the report.
CIBC kept its Underperformer rating on Imperial Oil and raised its price target from 160 to 165 Canadian dollars in a note published on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Newsmetry reported the change, citing TradingView data from Benzinga.
A higher target, unchanged caution
The revised target was 3.1 percent above CIBC's previous target. The report said the new level implied 8.5 percent downside to Imperial Oil's November 11 closing price of 180.36 Canadian dollars.
The unchanged Underperformer view means the target increase did not amount to a more positive rating. For investors, the note adds a single-bank valuation signal to the debate around Imperial Oil's earnings strength and operating execution.
What investors should watch
The target change is an analyst assessment rather than a company announcement. Investors will need to weigh it against future production, refining performance, cash generation and shareholder returns as Imperial Oil's operating outlook develops.
Canadian energy shares remain part of the wider market picture covered in current market reports.
