A key development is its move into gas-fired power generation via the Greenlight Electricity Center, underpinned by a 20-year offtake agreement with Meta that could strengthen the stability of future cash flows. Now we’ll examine how the Greenlight power project and Meta contract could influence Pembina Pipeline’s...

Escalating U.S., Canada trade frictions, new 50% tariffs on around $20b of Canadian goods, and the spotlight on cross border energy flows are putting North American grid and clean power infrastructure in rare focus. Investors are watching how Canadian electricity exports and transmission links could become both a pressure point and a release valve. This article unpacks that story and walks through three stocks that appear exposed to this news driven theme. The stocks covered below are just a...

Happy Belly Food Group shares closed at CA$1.60 on 26 August, after a choppy week that left the stock roughly flat over the past month. The market is now trying to square that muted price action with an earnings print that combines strong top line growth and a deepening loss. The headline this quarter is revenue of CA$8.50 million in Q2 2026, alongside a reported net loss from ongoing operations that remains heavy on a trailing 12 month basis. Investors appear focused on the balance between...

Bank of Nova Scotia stock came into today with a strong three month run and a fresh close at CA$129.81, so expectations were high. The headline from this quarter is simple: profit power beat sentiment. Net income excluding extra items reached CA$2,778m and basic earnings per share came in at CA$2.27, supported by a stable net interest margin of 2.49%. The market now has to decide whether a record style earnings print with steady margins justifies the recent share price strength, or if the...

Bank of Montreal stock goes into this earnings story looking tired, with the share price down over the past week and month even after a solid run over ninety days. The mood on the screen contrasts with what the bank just delivered. Adjusted earnings per share hit CA$3.96 and adjusted net income reached a record CA$2.9b, backed by 14% return on equity and firmer margins. The real flashpoint for sentiment is profitability. Investors now need to decide whether today’s muted pricing reflects...

West Red Lake Gold Mines stock came into the Q2 print riding a sharp run, with double digit gains over the past week and month. The latest move is all about one question: does a junior gold producer with a trailing P/E of 23.3x really earn that kind of confidence after a single quarter of stronger numbers? The headline is simple. Q2 2026 flipped the earnings story from patchy to profitable, with roughly CA$49.2 million in revenue and net income of about CA$14.7 million. The market is now...

Northland Power stock has delivered a decline of about 37.0% over the past five years, yet the latest valuation checks suggest the shares may now trade at a discount to what its cash flows and earnings imply. Over the past five years the share price has fallen about 37.0%, which leaves current investors focused on whether the market has become overly cautious on Northland Power. Progress on large offshore wind and energy storage projects can support expectations for future cash flows, while...

In August 2026, the Eastern Ontario Regional Network announced the successful completion of the CAD 300 million EORN Cell Gap Project with Rogers Communications, which saw Rogers invest CAD 150 million to build 346 new wireless sites and upgrade 311 existing sites with 5G equipment across eastern Ontario.

An interesting twist is that despite the quarterly loss, the company moved to a six-month net income of US$8.68 million, reversing the prior-year loss. Next, we examine how this shift to six-month profitability, despite a weaker second quarter, shapes Highlander Silver's investment narrative. The best AI...

AI infrastructure is pulling huge amounts of capital into data centers and high performance hardware, and Nvidia’s projected Q2 revenue of $92.17b plus the planned $500b financing program show how big this funding wave could be. For investors, that raises the question of which financing and asset management stocks might benefit most. This article walks through three stocks from our screener that appear positively exposed to this theme. The three stocks below are only a small sample from this...

The Canadian market has recently experienced fluctuations due to rising long-term bond yields, which have influenced investor sentiment and led to a temporary dip in stock prices. Despite these challenges, there are still opportunities for investors who can identify stocks with strong financial health and growth potential. Penny stocks, though an older term, remain relevant as they often represent smaller or newer companies that can offer significant value when backed by solid fundamentals.

Earlier this week, BlackBerry CEO John Giamatteo highlighted that QNX’s fastest-growing area is now robotics, spanning warehouse robots, robotic forklifts, and medical devices, alongside an expanded partnership with Nvidia to deploy QNX in industrial and medical physical AI applications. An interesting angle is how BlackBerry is keeping AI out of QNX’s safety-critical core while using it to speed testing and development, positioning the platform for long-term opportunities in robotaxis,...

Cenovus Energy has produced very strong share price gains over the past five years, yet on broad valuation checks the stock still screens as inexpensive. That mix of a long run up and an apparently cheap multiple profile is what investors now have to weigh. The stock has returned about 364% over five years, which is a very large move that already bakes in a lot of optimism. Future cash generation from Cenovus Energy’s oil and gas assets can support the current price, while exposure to...

Equinox Gold has received a positive Record of Decision for its South Railroad open-pit heap leach project in Nevada, completing federal permitting under the National Environmental Policy Act and allowing early construction works to begin, with initial capital costs estimated at US$395 million including US$70–US$80 million in its updated 2026 guidance.

Allied Gold Corporation recently strengthened its governance framework by appointing veteran mining finance executive Joanna Pearson as an independent director and replacing KPMG LLP with Deloitte LLP as its external auditor, moves that reshaped both its board and audit oversight structure. The combination of Pearson’s deep mining-sector financial expertise and Deloitte’s new audit role may alter how investors assess Allied Gold’s risk controls, reporting quality, and longer-term...

Bank of Nova Scotia stock has delivered a strong run over the past few years, while valuation checks now present a mixed picture that blends an intrinsic value signal of upside with market multiples that look closer to fair. For investors, the question is whether the recent gains have already captured most of that potential or if the shares still leave room based on current fundamentals. Over the past 3 years, Bank of Nova Scotia has returned 136.1%, which puts recent enthusiasm for the...
