Canadian General Merchandise and Department Stores Stock News

Power Corporation of Canada stock has climbed steadily into this earnings print, with the share price up about 26% over the past three months and closing at CA$95.80 just after the release. That rise now meets a sentiment test. The company delivered record adjusted earnings per share of CA$1.55 in the quarter and adjusted net earnings of CA$974 million, while the trailing P/E multiple sits around 22.8x, above both peers and the broader insurance group. The question for investors is whether...

Lightspeed Commerce stock closed at CA$14.14 on Friday, roughly flat over the past week and modestly weaker over the past month. The market reaction looks calm on the surface, yet the latest quarter gave investors a much louder signal. The company reported Q1 revenue of US$322.7m and adjusted EBITDA of about US$17.5m, while still posting a small net loss. The real story now shifts to the longer horizon. Analyst forecasts point to earnings improvement and revenue growth above the wider...

TC Energy stock came into this earnings print looking fully priced to many investors, trading at a P/E of 26.9x with the share price at CA$94.40 and trailing returns over the past week in decline. The headline from the quarter is simple. The pipes and power assets produced solid cash generation, but the key question is how comfortably that supports a balance sheet where interest costs and the dividend already stretch earnings. Comparable earnings power looked healthy, yet the company still...

Enbridge (TSX:ENB) just released its second quarter 2026 results, giving investors fresh numbers on revenue, earnings and cash generation. The update also arrived alongside recently declared common and preferred share dividends. See our latest analysis for Enbridge. Despite the softer reaction to the second quarter results and recent dividend declarations, with the share price down 1.80% on the day and 4.90% over the past week, Enbridge still shows a 15.47% year to date share price return and...

Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSX:CP) stock is in focus after the railway reported record Q2 freight revenues, earnings growth and an earnings beat, along with commentary on merger synergies, investment capacity and competitive pressures. See our latest analysis for Canadian Pacific Kansas City. Canadian Pacific Kansas City shares closed at CA$124.52, with a 1-day share price return of 0.98%. Despite a 7-day share price return that fell 4.45%, the year-to-date share price return of 21.70% and...

Colliers International Group stock came into this earnings print looking fully priced, with a P/E far above its real estate peers and only modest short term share gains over the past month. That set the stage for a sentiment test rather than a surprise party. The headline is margin grind against growth optimism. Q2 delivered about US$1.6b in revenue and a return to positive earnings per share, yet the trailing net profit margin sits at only 1.8%. For a company valued at roughly 46.6x...

Eldorado Gold heads into this earnings day with the stock down roughly 6% over the past week and 4% over the past month, even after a modest gain over the last quarter. That short term pullback sits awkwardly against a quarter that delivered about US$487 million in revenue and roughly US$0.69 in basic earnings per share. The real story is not a single quarter of profit. It is a multi year earnings and revenue build that now shows on trailing numbers, set against a P/E of 12.7x that sits below...

In the past quarter, West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. reported Q2 2026 sales of US$1,434 million and a net loss of US$61 million, widening its loss per share from continuing operations year‑on‑year. Despite the headline net loss and lower six‑month sales of US$2,767 million, the company generated positive adjusted EBITDA, ramped up its new Henderson mill, and reduced net debt, while not deploying any capital under its latest share buyback authorization. We will now examine how the positive...

Endeavour Silver (TSX:EDR) is in focus after reporting second quarter 2026 earnings, with sales of US$212.1 million and net income of US$66.5 million from continuing operations. See our latest analysis for Endeavour Silver. The latest earnings release and mine ramp ups have come alongside a weaker share price, with Endeavour Silver’s stock down 10.71% on a 30 day share price return and 15.31% year to date. At the same time, the 1 year total shareholder return of 53.21% and 3 year total...

Ivanhoe Mines came into this earnings day with a stock that has sagged in recent weeks, down about 9% over the past month, and a reputation as a high growth copper story with a rich P/E multiple. The headline this quarter is not a splashy earnings per share figure. It is the cash machine emerging at Kamoa Kakula and Kipushi, with Q2 revenue at US$880 million and solid consolidated profit, even as costs like diesel bite. The gap between a soft share price and a strengthening profit engine is...

IGM Financial heads into the post earnings trade with its stock at CA$87.16 and up double digits over the past quarter. The market has already been rewarding the story. The headline from this quarter is not the share price. It is the pressure building inside the income statement as quarterly basic earnings per share slipped to CA$1.13 and net inflows softened from earlier in the year. For a wealth and asset manager that lives on fees, the real question now is how durable those margins look...

Aris Mining stock has been under pressure for weeks, down about 23% over the past three months, yet Q2 results landed with the kind of earnings power that challenges that gloom. The headline is simple. The company printed quarterly net income of US$94.2m on revenue of US$330.2m, backed by 74 koz of gold production and strong all in sustaining margins. The share price came into this release reflecting doubt, and the reported profitability puts the spotlight back on whether investors are...

Ag Growth International stock has been grinding lower for months, with the share price down roughly one third over the past 90 days and closing at CA$13.43 on July 31. The market is clearly focused on the near term pain. The headline from Q2 is a sharp profit squeeze. Adjusted EBITDA fell 20% to CA$43 million and the margin slid to 13.4% as the commercial agribusiness side weakened. Short term traders see a pressured quarter. Longer term investors are now weighing that margin pressure against...

Hammond Power Solutions heads into this earnings season with the stock down over the past week, month and quarter, yet still trading at CA$250.69. Short term traders have cooled on the story. The earnings print tells a different tale for anyone thinking beyond the next few sessions. The headline is margin pressure meeting growth ambition. Quarterly sales reached CA$324.8m while basic earnings per share came in at CA$0.79, and trailing net profit margin for the past year sat at 5.8%. The...

Canfor stock came into this earnings print with momentum, up roughly 24% over the past three months. Yet the headline story is still about repairing a very bruised profit line. Q2 2026 showed another loss, with basic earnings per share of CA$0.16 in the red and net income excluding extra items at a loss of CA$18.5 million, even as revenue reached CA$1.53b. For a company often viewed as a beaten down lumber and pulp play trading on low sales multiples, this quarter is about one thing above all...

With inflation, interest rates and policy signals pulling in different directions across major economies, many investors are looking for assets that can hold their ground through changing macro conditions. Gold has been a clear beneficiary of this search for perceived safety, supported by demand from both investors and central banks. Instead of trying to trade the metal directly, some readers prefer to focus on gold miners that combine solid balance sheets with disciplined production costs...

Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust came into this earnings print with its unit price up around 21% over the past three months and sitting at CA$22.91 at Friday’s close. That kind of run can make any slip in the story feel unforgiving. Yet the headline from Q2 is that the core real estate engine, measured by Funds From Operations per unit, held firm at CA$0.451 and continued to support Net Asset Value around CA$21.72 per unit. The real tension is not in the malls; it is in the balance...

Badger Infrastructure Solutions stock has cooled off in recent weeks, even as the long run chart still shows gains. That hesitation meets a quarter where the business just put real weight behind its story. Q2 revenue reached US$257.1m and adjusted EBITDA hit US$66.1m with a 25.7% margin, a powerful combination for an asset heavy infrastructure services company. The market now has to decide whether recent share price softness reflects healthy profit taking or a misread of an earnings print...

Nuclear energy stocks sit at the crossroads of energy security, decarbonisation and long term infrastructure investment. With inflation paths, rate expectations and energy prices all under close watch, many investors are looking for assets tied to essential power supply that can support reliable baseload generation. This Nuclear Energy Stocks screener filters companies across the uranium supply chain and reactor ecosystem so you do not have to sift through the entire market yourself. In this...

Parex Resources stock closed today at CA$24.28 after a choppy spell that left the 90 day return down about 13%. The market has been trading the story as a work in progress. The Q2 print lands with a headline that is hard to ignore. Net income from continuing operations over the last 12 months is US$574.2m and the reported net margin sits at 55%. Short term traders see a volatile chart. Long term investors now have to weigh a very high trailing profit margin against questions about how durable...

The market has been quietly warming to DIRTT Environmental Solutions, with the stock up about 21% over the past month and closing at CA$0.87 today. The real jolt came from Q2 earnings, where revenue of US$40.31m paired with a swing back to profit at the net income line. Gross margin also improved to 34.7%, which is a meaningful change for a manufacturing heavy business like DIRTT. The price move now reflects investors trying to reconcile that margin reset with a stock that still trades at a...

Income focused investors are facing a messy mix of sticky inflation, changing rate paths and uneven growth across major economies. Reliable dividend income can help steady a portfolio when headlines are noisy. The Dividend Powerhouses screener focuses on companies that currently pay more than a 5% yield that is covered by earnings, growing and relatively stable. That combination can appeal if you want cash flow without relying only on short term market moves. This article highlights three...

Big tech earnings have grabbed headlines, with Amazon jumping over 10% and Microsoft adding roughly US$450b in market value, while Apple slipped on weaker guidance and a leadership change. At the same time, ExxonMobil and Chevron reported strong quarterly results as crude prices reacted to Middle East supply disruptions. For energy investors, that mix of tech optimism, hedge fund de-risking, and oil market pressure is a useful reality check. This article looks at 3 large oil and gas stocks...

The market came into this earnings print with Advantage Energy drifting, down about 1% over the past week but modestly higher over the past quarter. The stock closed at CA$11.00 just as the company released a Q2 headline that cuts through the noise. Earnings per share were CA$0.27 on CA$215.1m of revenue, and management described this quarter as the turning point from heavy spending to cash generation. The question for investors now is whether today’s muted price action reflects calm judgment...
