Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Westport Fuel Systems ( (TSE:WPRT) ).

Westport Fuel Systems disclosed that its long-time auditor KPMG LLP notified the company on May 7, 2026, that it will not stand for reappointment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The company’s audit committee and board approved the resignation and, on May 8, 2026, endorsed Deloitte LLP as successor auditor, subject to shareholder approval at the next annual meeting.

Westport noted that KPMG’s reports on its financial statements from January 1, 2024, to May 8, 2026, contained no modified opinions, and the company stated there were no reportable events in connection with the change. The orderly handover, formalized in a May 21, 2026, SEC filing, suggests a routine transition rather than an indication of accounting disputes, aiming to maintain continuity and confidence for investors and regulators across North American markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:WPRT) stock is a Buy with a C$7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Westport Fuel Systems stock, see the TSE:WPRT Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on WPRT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WPRT is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (sharp revenue contraction, large losses, and ongoing cash burn), with only partial support from improved leverage. The earnings call adds upside due to improving JV metrics and reduced funding needs, while technicals are neutral and valuation remains constrained by continued unprofitability and no dividend support.
