AI heavy stocks have been under pressure after a sharp sell off in semiconductor companies and growing questions around debt funded datacentre projects. At the same time, some investors are looking again at companies with stronger balance sheets and steadier dividends as a potential counterweight to this volatility. This article looks at 3 stocks from a Defensive Dividend Stocks screener that appear more exposed to the current AI driven news cycle. Each has different potential sensitivities...

Cardinal Energy walked into this quarter with a stock that had drifted, up just 5.6% over the past month and down 7.4% over the past quarter. The market had low expectations baked in. The headline today is that Cardinal reported a strong Q2 with basic earnings per share of CA$0.39 on CA$193.99m in revenue, a sharp step up from Q1. For an income focused stock that many investors mainly watch for its rich dividend, this kind of earnings jolt prompts a fresh look at what the underlying business...

ATCO Ltd. has reported past second-quarter 2026 results showing sales of CA$1,319 million versus CA$1,158 million a year earlier, with net income rising to CA$88 million from CA$64 million and basic earnings per share from continuing operations increasing to CA$0.78 from CA$0.57. Beyond the headline figures, higher adjusted earnings of CA$114 million and new early-stage energy infrastructure work, including progress on the Yellowhead Pipeline Project, point to expanding operational activity...

Insiders who bought Carlin Gold Corporation ( CVE:CGD ) in the last 12 months may probably not pay attention to the...

As the Canadian market navigates rising oil prices and increasing yields, investors are keeping a close eye on potential inflation risks and central bank responses. Amid these macroeconomic shifts, penny stocks continue to capture attention for their unique blend of affordability and growth potential. Though often seen as a throwback term, penny stocks represent an opportunity to discover hidden value in smaller or newer companies with strong financials.

In late July 2026, Intact Financial Corporation reported that its second-quarter net income fell to C$720 million, with basic earnings per share from continuing operations at C$3.91, and approved a C$1.47 quarterly common dividend alongside a range of preferred share dividends payable in late September. Alongside the earnings softness versus last year, Intact completed a C$208 million buyback of 778,272 shares, modestly shrinking its share count while continuing to return cash through both...

Cogeco Communications Inc. reported third-quarter 2026 results showing sales of C$696.68 million versus C$730.68 million a year earlier and a net loss of C$1,356.28 million, compared with net income of C$69.9 million. Despite weaker sales and a very large swing to losses over the quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2026, the Board increased the quarterly cash dividend by 7.0% to C$0.987 per share, with the ex-dividend date having already passed on 17 July 2026. We’ll now examine how...

Geopolitical risk is back in focus after Donald Trump’s pledge of a strong military response to Iran, a missile strike on US targets, and a sharp move in Brent crude to just under $90 a barrel. Sudden swings in oil and gas markets can reshape expectations for cash flows, capital spending, and balance sheets across large producers. That creates both potential openings and fresh risks for energy sector stocks. This article walks through 3 stocks from our Energy Sector Stocks screener that...

In recent weeks, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce has launched and completed several fixed‑income offerings, including new callable senior unsecured notes in US$ and € with fixed coupons ranging from 4.08% to 5.25%, while its asset management arm also confirmed July 2026 cash distributions for CIBC ETFs. Over the same period, CIBC has been recognized as Best in Class for Canadian digital banking and has earned multiple global awards for its generative AI and digital transformation...

As the Canadian market navigates rising oil prices and higher yields, investors are closely watching how these factors might influence central bank decisions and economic resilience. In this context, penny stocks—often representing smaller or newer companies—continue to offer intriguing opportunities for those looking beyond the major players. While the term may seem outdated, these stocks can still provide value when backed by strong financials, and we've identified three such examples that...

Earlier this month, Bank of Montreal issued a series of fixed-rate, senior unsecured Eurobonds maturing between 2029 and 2034, while also being named Canada’s Best Retail Bank at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026 for its AI-enabled, client-focused banking model. Together with new mutual fund launches and its women-owned business grant program, these moves highlight how BMO is pairing balance sheet growth with product innovation and community impact to reinforce its competitive...

Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:BEI.UN) is back in focus after its latest update on affordable housing operations, new co ownership plans in Western Canada, recent asset sales and a multi tranche share buyback. See our latest analysis for Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust. At a latest share price of CA$65.8, Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust has seen a modest 1-day share price return of 1.46%, while its 1-year total shareholder return declined 6.22%, suggesting recent...

Bank of Nova Scotia stock has delivered a strong 125.2% total return over the past three years, while the intrinsic value estimate from the Excess Returns model and earnings based valuation checks both suggest the shares still trade at a discount. Over three years, Bank of Nova Scotia has returned 125.2%, which places extra focus on whether the current share price already reflects its fundamentals. Future loan growth and fee income can support the intrinsic value case, but long term credit...

Cross border trade friction between the US and Canada is back in focus after the Trump administration announced 50% tariffs on US$20b of Canadian electrical equipment and machinery imports from mid August. With no carve outs under the United States Mexico Canada Agreement and the risk of Canadian retaliation, some stocks tied to these supply chains could face higher costs, contract uncertainty and freight disruption. This article examines three stocks exposed to this news and explains how...

Topaz Energy stock closed at CA$31.55 on July 28, roughly flat over the past three months, yet the latest quarter gives long term holders more to think about than the daily quote suggests. The headline is simple: Q2 produced CA$111.2m of total revenue and CA$0.34 in basic earnings per share, alongside strong cash generation and a higher royalty production outlook. In the very near term the market is weighing a premium 33.7x P/E and a 4.31% yield that lacks full earnings and free cash flow...

Magna International Inc. recently announced it had secured an 800‑volt, 250 kW 2‑speed eDrive program with Chery Automobile Co. Ltd., to be produced at Magna’s new Wuhu facility in China as part of its localized electrification push. This award, alongside the DHD Duo hybrid drive system now in series production with Chery’s Jetour G700, underscores Magna’s expanding role as a supplier across the full spectrum of electric and hybrid propulsion for Chinese OEMs. We’ll now examine how this new...

First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust spent the past month drifting slightly lower, yet the unit price now sits around CA$23 with investors facing a very different story inside the latest earnings. The headline is pressure on profitability. Quarterly funds from operations, the core cash yardstick for a REIT, came in at about CA$59.5m, well below the prior two quarters, while net income dropped back toward more ordinary levels after a very large one off gain over the past year. The...

Canadian National Railway stock has put up a solid 50.2% return over the past five years, yet current checks suggest investors are now paying a premium to the company’s own Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) based intrinsic value while market multiples look roughly in line with peers. That mix leaves Canadian National Railway looking neither clearly cheap nor obviously stretched on first pass. A 50.2% gain over five years points to a company that has already rewarded patient shareholders, so fresh...

Sienna Senior Living Inc. recently announced it will proceed with a $125,000,000 redevelopment of its Streetsville Community in Mississauga, Ontario, adding 138 new beds and replacing 118 existing beds by an anticipated late-2029 completion, following its previously announced $250,000,000 Glen Rouge project in Toronto expected to finish in 2030. This latest redevelopment underscores Sienna’s push to modernize and expand its Greater Toronto Area platform, potentially enhancing scale and...

Gibson Energy stock closed at CA$32.11 today, capping a steady run over the past three months, while the latest earnings landed like a reality check on how much of that optimism comes from fundamentals rather than mood. The headline is simple: Q2 brought a sharp rebound in profitability, with basic earnings per share at CA$0.48 and net income at CA$82.89 million. The market now needs to decide whether this earnings jump and record infrastructure adjusted earnings before interest, tax,...

TFI International stock came into today priced near CA$209 after a choppy week that left shares down about 3% over seven days but still up solidly over three months. The headline from this trucking and logistics earnings release is margin power. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached US$1.85 against guidance of US$1.50 to US$1.60, and operating income hit US$220 million with an 11.6% consolidated margin. Short term traders are reacting to a single print. Long term holders will be asking...

Celestica stock came into today sitting near record territory at CA$492.14 after a modest 7‑day gain and slightly softer 90‑day stretch. The earnings print that hit the tape was all about power in the profit engine, not just the share price ticker. Q2 revenue reached US$4.70b with adjusted operating margin at 8.2%, a company high, and adjusted earnings per share landed at US$2.54. For a contract electronics manufacturer, that kind of margin profile is the real story. The key question from...

Iran’s war-disrupted economy, with inflation near 90%, damaged energy infrastructure, banking cyberattacks, and over $100b of export earnings stuck offshore, is reshaping risk and potential opportunity across global oil and energy markets. For investors looking at oil and energy sector stocks, the question is how these shocks to supply, payments, and confidence might affect different parts of the value chain. This article walks through 3 stocks from our Oil and Energy Sector Stocks screener...
